WHEN prosperous farmers, noted for their 

 shrewdness and foresight, buy I H C har- 

 vesting and haying machines and tools 

 year after year, the evidence is conclusive that 

 those machines give satisfactory service, and add 

 to the incomes of the farmers who buy them. 

 The reasons why these machines are investments, 

 why they go into fields of grain and bind it all 

 with the least waste, whether it be tall or short, 

 standing, down, or tangled, why they last and do 



food work year after year, are reasons you should 

 now. The knowledge of what I H C machines 

 will do for you, is knowledge that pays. 



On matters in which there is a community of 

 interest, no business man in this country has a 

 better opportunity of gathering practical knowl- 

 edge about the details of his business than has 

 the American farmer. There is ample proof that 

 farmers are readers and students, in the constant- 

 ly growing use of machines for saving time and 

 labor on the farm, for increasing the efficiency of 

 farm help, for conserving the fertility of the soil, 

 and for quickly and cheaply harvesting crops of 

 every description. Knowledge of the uses and 

 value of farm machines leads to close study of 

 those machines. Study and comparisons bring out 

 features of quality. Knowledge of quality leads 

 to the purchase of high grade I H C harvesting 

 and haying machines and tools marked with one 

 of the following names :

 THAT PAYS 



down. Each part is numbered and lettered 

 plainly to avoid confusion in ordering. Each part 

 is made to gauge so accurately that it fits like new 

 and does the work it was made to do with no 

 more than the usual adjustments. The story of 

 these machines is told in catalogues with which 

 every American farmer should be familiar. 



There is need for the exercise of the widest 

 knowledge and most thorough care in the har- 

 vesting of grain crops in this country. Population 

 is increasing by leaps and bounds. The good 

 grain growing land is about all taken up. Feeding 

 the increased population from the same number 

 of acres means making the most of each acre. An 

 increasing population means better prices for 

 grain. The profits in view for the farmer grow 

 larger with each succeeding year. Under these 

 conditions it is exceedingly important that there 

 be no loss or waste at harvest time. The best 

 way to prevent it is to purchase I H C harvesting 

 and haying machines. 



Besides selling you the most thoroughly proved 

 machines in the world, the I H C local dealer can 

 supply you with binder twine that can be used in 

 those machines without trouble or waste. There 

 are seven brands of this twine; Champion, Deer- 

 ing, McCormick, Milwaukee, Osborne, Piano, 

 and International all made of four grades: sisal, 

 standard, manila, and pure manila, each perfectly 

 dependable.

More than half a century of experience is be- 

 hind the building of these machines. Over fifty 

 years of experimenting and adapting to every 

 known harvest field condition assures you of high 

 efficiency. These machines have been perfected 

 to a point where they meet successfully every 

 known harvesting or haying problem. The or- 

 ganization behind I H C machines secures you 

 from unnecessary trouble and expensive delays 

 after the harvest is begun by providing depots 

 for repair parts so instantly available that your 

 harvest is never delayed even by what in another 

 machine might be a serious accident or break-
