Glimpse of Drying Sheds 



All Lumber For SHC Wagons Is 

 Air-Dried For At Least Two Years 



WOOD that is naturally air-dried retains the sap, which cements it 

 together, rilling up the pores, thus leaving the wood tough and 

 strong. In kiln-dried wood the sap is forced out by the heat, leaving 

 the wood brittle, brashy, and porous easy to break. 



It is much cheaper to build wagons with kiln-dried lumber. But such 

 wagons could never live up to the I H C standard of excellence. That is 

 why all the lumber used in the construction of I H C wagons is air-dried 

 in enormous sheds for at least two years and most of it for three years. 



Weber New Bettendorf Steel King 



are I H C wagons that make you sure of getting the most for your money 

 in the style of wagon you want. 



Weber has stood for all that's best in wagon construction for the past 66 

 years and still maintains its leadership. Farmers who know Weber 

 quality need no further argument. 



New Bettendorf has the only satisfactory tubular steel axle ever 

 put on a wagon. It is the only wagon with an extension reach, box 

 no extra reach is needed to lengthen the gear. Removable malle- 

 able sleeves protect the axle and can be replaced when worn. 



Steel King haJhe only perfect adjustable stake; hollow steel axles 

 and bolsters made to resemble the old wood type; skeins are cast and 

 can easily be replaced; wheels are "A" grade; wagon boxes of best 

 quality and construction.

 mation from him, or, write to nearest branch house.
