 Henry Ford's Gifts to Civilization 



Henry Ford has given to the world a 

 Tractor that will revolutionize farming 

 and help win the war. Lord Northcliffe 

 recently wrote in the London Times: " I 

 mounted the Fordson Tractor and plowed 

 a half mile furrow in about eight min = 

 utes — a speed of four miles an hour. 

 Any boy or girl can drive it." 



The Fordson Tractor is a proven suc» 

 cess 6,000 are working day and night 

 in l-ngland — several thousand more are 

 revolutionizing farming in the Western 

 States and in New tngland those already 

 in use here have proved that the Ford 

 Tractor is the best adapted for New 

 Hngland conditions.
