 3^ American Manure Spreader 



Free 



It's just like this. 



You need an American Manure 

 Spreader. 



It will double the value of every 

 bit of manure you put on your land. 



It will pulverize and break it up, 

 so it will mix with the soil easily. 



And it v.'ill distribute evenly, so 

 every square foot of land will get its 

 share. 



The other reasons you will find 

 out yourself just as soon as you try 

 the Spreader. 



And we will let you try it for 30 

 days at our expense. 



We send you the Spreader and prepay 

 the freight. You use it a month. Before 

 the 30 days are up, you will wonder how you 

 ever got on without it. 



The Spreader will practically earn Its 

 own cost before you send us a cent. 



We g-ive you a liberal allowance of time 

 in which to pay for it. 



And if you shouldn't find it exactly as 

 represented, you send it back at our expense, 

 and the trial costs you not a shilling. _ 



We can afford to make you this oflfsr 

 because we know that our American Spread- 

 ers are well made, on correct principles, and 

 that tiiey will stand the Test.

 result of our knowledge of field needs. We 

 have developed them alongpractical lines. 



American Spreaders are carefully and 

 sensibly constructed, and they show it.

 WHAT MR. KILL SAYSs 



Nanticoke, Pa., Dec. 12, 1905 

 American Harrow Co., Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Sirs:— Enclosed you will find notes, 

 duly pigued, f'lr spreader. 



I am very pleased with the construction of 

 the American Spreader, a'.l its parts seem to be 

 made for long service. The work it performs in 

 three minutes is bettei than I have been able to 

 do with the fork in 25 to30 minutes and I antiii- 

 pate irs results to be far ahead of anything I have 

 had in the past, especially on the hay-fields, as it 

 dues the manure into such small particles as mt 

 to smother the smallest tuft of grass. Your coar- 

 teius treatment and prompt shipment of machine 

 leaves nothing to be desired and I have no hesita- 

 tion in saying I nra a wi 11 s itisfied customer.
