THE RUMELY AIM OE SERVICE TO BUYERS

Where the Gaar-Scott line is built -Part of the Richmond Plaaf of M. Rumefy.Co.

HOW MACHINES HAVE REDUCED FARMING COST

Our constant aim Is to give more and better service to purchasers of Gaar-Scott, Advance and Rumely machinery. This service starts before you even buy any machinery, for we have a department for the special purpose of giving farmers advice on questions relating to power-farming. If you are in doubt as to what kind of equipment will best suit your conditions, or what size of machine is suited to your size of farm, a postal request will bring reliable advice. As to delivery branch houses are maintained in all parts of the United States and Canada from which new, machines or repair parts can be shipped without delay. In the upper photograph is shown the giant loading crane at LaPorte. This crane is kept busy every day and a good many nights loading Oil Pulls and Ideal Separators and other machines to be sent out by the trainload. A similar crane Is kept busy at Battle Creek. Our policy is NOT simply to sell you a machine, but to see that that machine proves a money-maker for you. That's why our service doesn't stop with building a machine the very best way we know how. It goes on to see that you understand the machine thoroughly, so it will give you perfect service. If you need repairs, you can. count on getting them quickly, preventing delays when time lost means dollars wasted. Remember when you buy an Advance, Gaar-Scott or Rumely machine, our policy of service will mean much to you in time and trouble saved it will mean actual money in your pocket.

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION For the farmer who owns Rumely machines, not only is the fall festival a season for celebration, but so is every day in the year. Rumely machines make farm work lighter they increase the farmer's profit. Rumely machines are dependable. If the machine you buy bears the Gaar-Scott, Advance, or Rumely trademark, its merit is assured. All three of these lines have been on the market for years their trademarks stand for much to all farmers and threshermen. This reputation will be maintained. Tractors, steam engines and threshing machines that were formerly built by the dozen or half dozen are now produced by the hundred, but with greater care than ever. The savings of larger scale production help to secure better tools, better workmen, and better service to the customer. Rumely branches are scattered all over the United States and Canada. There is' a Rumely dealer in every agricultural community. Quick service is thus assured to all customers, both in the shipment of new machines and in the delivery of repair parts. Something is manufactured for every farmer-a machine of just the right size or capacity to meet the farmer's power-needs, sold at a price to suit his pocket-book. Interesting literature has been published, descriptive of each of the machines listed below. If you are interested in any of these machines, or in the subject of power-farming in general, write for more information a postal will bring it.

IN GRANDFATHER'S TIME It took 3 hours of human labor for every bushel of wheat produced. A bushel of wheat brought the farmer less than 18 cents. About four hours work was used in raising a bushel of corn. It took four families in the country to scrape together a meagre living for themselves and support one family in town.

AND NOW

A bushel of wheat entails only about ten minutes work, with the aid of modern machinery. The wheat raiser gets as much for 20 minutes' easy work as the farmer in 1830 got for an hour's back-breaking labor. Power-farming machinery makes it possible to raise a bushel of corn with less than 45 minutes of work. A single family on the farm can live comfortably and provide food and clothing materials for two families in the city besides.

Machines are as necessary on the farm today ae they are lit the factory. You would not think of starting in to build, autemebllea without providing yourself with up-to-date machinery. Nor should you expect best results from your farm unless you employ modern power-farming methods. Machines do the heavy work of the farm the tasks that are all drudgery In less time, better and cheaper than It can be dona In any other way. The traotor, for example, euppliee the power of ten te forty horses In traction and twice that number In belt work, at a ceet about one-tenth ae great. A tractor like the Oil Pull, burning kerosene, or the Tiger Pull or Gas Pull, burning gasoline, takes Issa expense for "feeding" than horses supplying the same amount of power. Tractors will work night and day, practically without stopping, for they never tire, never get sick and never die. One man can da more with one of these power giants than half a dozen men with horses. Tractors will plow deeper than horses, opening up new stores of fertile soil. They will plow, harrow and seed, all at one operation, getting the seed into the ground quickly when delaya mean big losses. At harvest time they will reap, thresh and haul to market. Between seasons they will do scores of other jobs. Smaller enginee are built, too stationary or portable, burning gasoline or kerosene, for the many odd Jobs that keep one or a couple of hired men busy sawing wood, shelling corn, pumping water, grinding feed, etc. Power-Farming isn't an experimentit has proved itself the sur est path to bigger profits.
