i IHC Wagons Are As 

 Good As They Look 



To really know the value 

 of a vvagron you must know 

 of what material it is made, 

 how it is built and about how many 

 j-earsj of satisfactory wagon service you 

 may expect. When you know all there 

 is to know about IHC wagons it is safe 

 to say that your next wagon will bear 

 the IHC trademark — the stamp of 

 quality and honest value. 



Every piece of wood used in I H C 

 wagons is carefully selected and air- 

 dried. Only in air-dried lumber does 

 wood retain its full strength and elastic- 

 ity. All steel or iron is selected with the same care to 

 secure the greatest possible strength. Thorough knowl- 

 edge of the strain each part must stand is necessary be- 

 cause a wagon, like a chain, is no stronger than its 

 weakest part. Every part of I H C wagons

has the same relative strength. The men who build 

 IHC wagons know why one part is built 

 stronger than another, know the exact strain it 

 will have to bear. This same thorough knowl- 

 edge has enabled them to build a wagon of 

 light dra^t, which puts the least strain on the 

 horses, without impairing the strength or dura- 

 bility of the wagon. 



The finishing touch, the thing that adds to the life 

 and appearance of an I H C wagon, is pure paint. 

 Cheap paint may improve the appearance of a wagon 

 for a short time, but after that is a positive detriment. 

 Only pure paint is used on I H C wagons. It fills the 

 pores of the wood, prevents shrinking, swelling, warp- 

 ing and twisting, and acts as a wood preservative. 



There are many other reasons why IHC wagons 

 are such good wagons, why owners say they are the 

 best and most satisfactorj-. Have the IHC local 

 agent show you an I H C wagon, or, if you prefer, 

 write the nearest branch house for catalogues.
