LIVER CHILLED PLOWS 
The Reason Why 
more Oliver Chilled Plows are used than those of any other make 
is that they are the best plows that can be made under any cir¬ 
cumstances. They are capable of doing better work under a greater 
variety of conditions. They are the result of long years of experience 
and study in plow art, aided by the largest and most complete plow 
factory in the world. _ .
