1 Finish This Story 



A WORKMAN in an I H C 

 wagon factory was explaining 

 the various stages of wagon 

 construction to an interested visitor. He 

 picked up two pieces of long leaf yellow 

 pine, which to all appearances were sawed 

 from the same board, and asked the visitor 

 to notice the difference in the weight of the 

 two pieces. The lighter piece, he explained, 

 was kiln-dried. The heavier piece was 



air-dried and more thoroughly seasoned. 



It had retained the resinous sap which adds 

 strength and toughness, while in the kiln-dried piece of 

 lumber this sap had been drawn out by the too rapid 

 1 application of heat. 



Every Stick of Lumber Used in 



I H C Wagons is Carefully Selected, 



Air-Dried Stock 



Here was something to think about. The visitor 

 asked for a test as to the relative strength of the two 

 pieces of wood. The air-dried piece held up under 

 nearly double the weight under which the kiln- 

 dried piece of lumber broke. The workman 

 explained how the comparative life of air-dried 

 and kiln-dried lumber has about as great a 

 difference. 



To the 63-6 there was no difference between 

 these two pieces of lumber, but when put to 



the test there was a vast difference. So it is throughout 

 the construction of I H C wagons Weber, Columbus, 

 New Bettendorf, Steel King. They are built for real 

 strength, light draft, and satisfactory service. 



After seeing the care used in the construction of every 

 part of an I H C wagon, the visitor asked: "Why 

 don't you let people know of the great care used in 

 selecting material and in constructing I H C wagons?" 



This is what we have been trying to do, but we can- 

 not tell it all in one short advertisement. 



Weber and Columbus wagons have wood gears. 

 Steel King and New Bettendorf have steel gears. 

 I H C local dealers handle the wagons best suited to 

 3'our work. See them for literature and full informa- 

 tion, or, write the nearest branch house.
