Do Ten Days' Work in One 



ONE day's plowing, under 

 favorable conditions, used to 

 be two to three acres is yet, 

 on many farms. But not for the farmer 

 who owns an I H C tractor. He plows 

 twenty to thirty acres a day, or more, de- 

 pending on the size of his outfit, and has an 

 easier time doing it than the man who 

 walks sixteen miles or more a day holding 

 the handles of a walking plow. If you 

 have 160 acres or more of arable land to 

 plow you are losing money every day you 

 neglect to put an I H C tractor to work. 



When the plowing is done the year's 

 work for the tractor is only just begun. 

 With it you can draw three or more drills 

 at a time. At harvest time it takes the place 

 of teams on the three or more binders that 

 cut a swath as wide as a street through 

 your grain. It furnishes power for thresh- 

 ing. It hauls the produce to market. An 



I H C Kerosene-Gasoline Tractor 



with its simple, powerful engine and transmission, care- 

 fully protected from dust, dirt and grit; its 

 ample, well-oiled bearings; its light weight for 

 the power it develops; its freedom from dan- 

 gerous sparks and annoying soot and smoke; 

 its all-around usefulness and general reliabil- 

 ity, has done more than a little to make pos- 

 sible the stupendous operations of modern 

 farming. If you can use a tractor, buy a time 



and field-tested I H C tractor. 



I H C tractors are made in every approved style, and 

 in 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 60-horse power sizes. I H C 

 general purpose engines, for use on the farm and in 

 shop, mill and factory are made in 1 to 50-horse power 

 sizes. The I H C local dealer will give you catalogues 

 and full information. See him, or, write the nearest 

 branch house.
