The field is unlimited and uncrowded; marketing the 

 product in competition with the clay interests and at clay 

 tile prices produces a great profit and a glance at the future 

 spells only success for the factory or business started today . 



No existing proposition offers such flattering induce- 

 ments or such a field of opportunity for the man looking 

 for a vocation or for the man looking for an investment. 

 No other business can net you such profits on the amount 

 of capital involved, and no other business has such an 

 unlimited future. 



Just think of a business paying from 30% to 50% on 

 the investment the very first season, and subsequently 

 from 50% to 150%, then ask yourself the question Is it 

 worthy of investigation? 



Our literature gives you all the details regarding the 

 merits of cement tile, the cost of manufacture, the amount 

 of capital required to embark in the business; how to 

 build your factory and last, but not least, it tells you 

 how we aid the manufacturer using our machinery and 

 gives you our full and complete proposition. A short 

 letter telling that you are interested will bring complete 

 data.

Can You Afford to 

 Support Horses? 



THOMAS A. EDISON, the 

 wizard of inventors, says, 

 "The horse is the poorest 

 motor ever built." When you stop to think 

 of it, the horse is about the most costly and 

 wasteful thing at work for a farmer. At 

 best his working time averages only about 

 six hours a day, eighteen hours he rests, yet 

 he eats all year round, working or idle. He 

 eats ten pounds for every hour he works. 

 One acre out of every five plowed goes to 

 feed the horse. The best horse may get 

 sick; when, besides losing his work, you have veterinary 

 bills to pay. When he dies, you have a heavy loss. 

 Since McCormick built his first binder, the tendency of 

 all farming has been away from slow man- and horse- 

 power and toward time- and money-saving machines. 

 Thus far, wherever an 



I H C Oil Tractor 



has been set to work on a farm, no machine has taken, 

 the place of so many horses, or done so much 

 laborious work with so large a saving of time and 

 money. I H C tractors have revolutionized f arm- 

 ing. If the owner desires, his tractor will plow 

 } nearly as much in a day of twenty-four hours as 

 a team of horses plows in a month. There is effi- 

 ciency for you! 

 Whether you use it for pulling field machines, 



hauling your produce, threshing, cutting ensilage, baling 

 hay, or anything else, the I H C tractor will stand up to 

 the work. In simplicity and strength of construction, 

 ease of operation, durability, and all-around economy, 

 you cannot find the equal of I H C tractors. They are 

 made in all styles and in 6-12, 7-1S, 10-20, 12-25, 15-30, 

 25-45, and 30-60-horse power. The I H C engine line 

 also includes general purpose engines, ranging from 1 

 to 50-horse power and operating on various fuels. 



It will be to your advantage to get acquainted with 

 the I H C tractor. See the local dealer, and write for 

 facts and information to the nearest branch house.
