HOW 



Yon Get This New 

 TONGLELESS Disc Harrow 

 on Thirty Days' Trial 



FREE 



' It's this way— 



An entirely new feature Is embodied In 

 the construction of this Harrow. 



The Forward Truck.without any Tongrue, 

 positively relieves the horses of all Neck 

 Weight and Side Draft, and allows them 

 free, easy movement. They have just an 

 even, steady pull. 



Why should a team, that Is already hav- 

 ing a hard time to work and travel on rougrh, 

 uneven ground, be hampered and annoyed 

 by the Threshing of a Tongue, and by the 

 weight of a Harrow Frame? 



There is absolutely no reason for it. 



To give you a chance to examine this 

 Harrow for yourself, and to prove to you 

 that it is exactly as represented, and that it 

 will produce the results claimed for it, we will 

 send any size you select, on a 30 Days' Ap- 

 proval Test, all FreizM Charges Prepaid. 



If you find the Harrow to be exactly as 



represented, and to work as we claim it will, 



you pay for it: Cash or easy terms as you 



prefer. If not, send it back at our expense.

 American Harrow Co., Detroit, Mich. 



Gentlemen: We are pleased to write you that the No. 

 1418 Tonguelesa Disc has been received and thoroughly 

 tested, and found not wanting anywhere. 



We have at last a long felt want supplied — a Tongue- 

 less Disc. We have concluded that the draft of this 

 harrow is one-fourth less; three horses will draw this 

 harrow with as much ease as four horses will any tongue 

 disc made. Wo have often wondered why a tongueless 

 disc was so long in getting made. We are surely pleased, 

 and trust you will never make anything but Toneueless 

 DisoB.— Yours respectfully. L. F. WF.AVER. 



This Harrow is built on right principles ' 



—No Side Draft. 



—No Neck Weight 



—No crowding of team in short turns 



— Just even, steady pull. 



—Front Truck carries weight of Frame, 

 and controls movements of Harrow. 



—Ball bearings take the end thrust 



— Double levers make handling easy. 



All our output goes direct to the farmers 

 on the 30 Days' Approval Test Plan, with 

 time to pay if you wish. 



The Detroit Tongueless Disc Harrow is 

 protected by exclusive patents and manu- 

 factured and sold only by us. Write today 

 for booklet giving full description and prices 

 that will please you. 



Say when you want to use the harrow, so 

 •we can take care of you 

 right.
