Read His Letter DO YOU KNOW 



Read of the economy 

 and profit in this farm- 

 er's potato-digging, — 

 how he gets every 

 potato in the field,— 

 how he avoids loss from 

 scarred and crusl.ed 

 potatoes, — how he has 

 made the work easy 

 and fast. 



It TeSIs You

Acme Hand 



ATTACHMENT 



proved out under hard, practical actual field use ; 



Potato Implement Co., Traverse City, Mleh. 



Gentlemen:— Two. vearsaijo I bouyht one of 

 your Acme Hand Potato Dintj-ers and after 

 Hiving it a sliort trial lu tlio lidd, my sous, 

 who were dii;tcingr the potatoes, %vere eo 

 pleased witli tiie Acme Digger that 1 now 

 Lave live in use oa my fai"m. 



The Acme is .just thediijri.r we needed. Un- 

 like the machine dii^gers it digs clean, gets 

 every potato In every bill, doesn't scar the 

 stock, and Is not bothered by the vines. The 

 men work easily, yet quickly, and don't get so 

 tired as with ordinary fork or hook digging. 



I know from my own experience that the 

 Acme Digger does better, easier and cheaper 

 work than any other digger I have seen, and 

 the best recommendation I can give anyone 

 Is that I continue to use It on my own farm. 

 I am, vours truly, 

 r. LALTNEH, Leeknau County.

Attaclinieut prove itself tn you. Let it

 potatoes better and more economicall.s — that
