GentlemenHaving used your O. K. 
Digger will say ltdoes all you claim- 
idfor it. It is sure a wonder. Two 
rsea handle it very well. Have 
.tried it on all kinds of ground 
and am well pleased with it. 
Very respectfully, 
ROY COUUtRIGHT. 
No matter what the condition of soil or season 
the Hallock O. K. Potato Digger keeps a'digr- 
ging right along. We can offer no better proof of 
what our digger will do than Ithe letter below. It 
is one of thousands just like it, every one unsolic¬ 
ited but full of praise for the O. K. If you raise 
potatoes for market it will pay you to own a 1907 
O. K. Digger. Its success lies in its peculiar 
mechanism—the result of years of experience in 
this one line—the building of 
potato diggers, exclusively. The 
O. K. is the lightest draft; two- 
horse elevator digger ever devis¬ 
ed, the only one that won’t balk 
under conditions which put other 
diggers out of business. This 
has been demonstrated time and 
again in many fields all over the 
United States. Canada and 
_ Mexico. If you are going to buy 
a digger this is the digger you 
Catalog tells why, describing how 
^ it’s built and how it works. You’ll want to hear 
about the “don’t clog” elevator device—found 
only on the O. K. Potato Digger—ft; will save you

RAKE 
Two desirable feat¬ 
ures to look for 
when buying a hay 
rake are ease of 
operation and 
durability of 
construction. 
The Johnston 
All Steel ltiike 
'is made toughest 
where the strain is 
greatest. The head and 
frame where most of 
the strain comes are 
made of angle steel 
making a light, rigid, 
strong, durable machine, 
wheels are made of steel 
cast hubs and round 
staggered spokes — it’s all 
steel bnt the tongue or shafts— there’ll 
be no warp, no shrink and no split if it’s 
a Johnston. The teeth do clean work 
without scratching: are long flat-pointed 
and interchangeable. The Johnston All 
Steel Rake is easy to operate—easy on 
horse and man because it is so nicely 
and evenly balanced. The Johnston 
NOT IN

Book describes the con¬ 
struction and tells all 
the good points—tells 
why it’s the rake to 
buy, also describes 
other farm tools that 
you’ll want to know about. Made, mar¬ 
keted and backed by 56 years devoted to 
the construction or farm machines of 
true merit. Read the book before you 
buy. Don’t forget that Johnston’s Not
