No. 9 
Planter 
Get Real Accuracy of Drop Combined with 
Simplicity and Reliability 
AYORE No. 9 Com Planters are in use than 
X any other three makes combined. This is 
a bare fact and in no sense a boast. Farmers 
everywhere praise the work of this planter. 
They know from experience, how accurately 
it drops the corn, how easy it is on the team, 
how quickly it can be changed to a drill, how 
surely it operates and how durably it is built. 
That's why it “stays put.” That’s why you 
can depend on it. That’s why you should buy 
it. It’s worth is fully proven. 
Devices that change the drop “theoretically” 
are of no benefit, if the drop itself is not accu¬ 
rate and positive. They only cause loss and 
disappointment. 
D. 33. 
Better stick to the machine that you can 
depend on for accuracy. Better buy the planter 
that you know will do the business. Then you 
don't have to worry. Then you don’t have to 
replant. Then you don’t lose the price of two 
or three planters by getting a poor stand. 
The No. 9 is built by planter specialists, in a 
specially equipped plant—not as a side line in 
some buggy, pump, or plow factory. 
Write for our latest book “MORE AND 
BETTER CORN.” Contains all the vital 
facts about seed corn, practical hints on pre¬ 
paring the seed bed and information of value 
to every farmer. It is mailed FREE. To be

There isn’t any doubt about the quality of the paint you 
have bought AFTER you have bought it and used it 
Then if you have gone wrong in your selection, it is too 
late; the mischief is done. 
While there is a wide difference in paint—in its covering, 
its protecting and its enduring qualities, still there is no 
gamble in buying paint. 
A little investigation will teach you that among paint 
manufacturers there is one that stands out as the pioneer in 
this country—one that has been making paints and var¬ 
nishes of the highest quality for forty years, and has grown 
to be the largest paint and varnish concern in the world. 
That concern is The Sherwin-Williams Co.—a nanx 
to remember when buying paint for every farm need. For 
whether you buy S W P for your house, Commonwealth 
Barn Red for your outbuildings, S-W Wagon and Imple¬ 
ment Paint for your machinery and wagons, or S-W 
Brighten-Up Finishes for floors, woodwork and furniture, 
you get what the greatest paint organization in the world is 
willing to stake its reputation on as being the best. 
Our Free Book 
tells just what paint to buy 
for every surface on the farm and just how to apply it. 
This book is free. It should be in the hands of every farmer.
