FORESIGHT IN FARMING 



In every business, foresight plays a vitally im- 

 portant part. Lack of it encourages failure, while 

 presence of it furthers success. And so it is in farm- 

 ing, for farming is now the world's biggest business. 



Foresight simply means the ability to see things 

 beyond today, or tomorrow, or next week. It means 

 thinking about this year's harvest now. 



Thousands of farmers are aptly demonstrating 

 their foresight by looking over their present equip- 

 ment. Those who are doubtful of the efficiency of 

 their machines; who are not sure they will work un- 

 interruptedly through another season are getting 

 new machines. They know that they would need 

 new machines in a year or two anyway. They have 

 foresight enough to see that it does not pay to take 

 chances of delays from breakdowns when the grain 

 is ripe. 



The same foresight that prompts these up-to-date 

 farmers to select harvesting machines now, is also 

 prompting them to select I H C Harvesting Mach- 

 ines. They know that these machines are right. 

 The test of time has proved it. They have won 

 their way to the top by their work in millions of 

 harvest fields throughout the world.
