Here are two actual photographs taken the same day the same hour. They 
illustrate two fields of corn —one adjoining the other. The scene at the left shows 
an average corn field. The scene at the right shows a field in which stumps 
stood last year. It took no more seed, no more labor, no more investment of 
time or money, to raise the field that wil 1 probably produce a 90 bushel-per-acre 
crop than the average field that will probably produce a 35 bushel-per-acre crop 
The climate was the same for both fields—and the rainfall was the same. 
We merely want to show you how much money you are losing by leaving 
the stumps stand, when you can so easily turn those stumpy acres into dollars .

Plant on Virgin Soil—And Reap a Double Harvest 
P ULL out the stumps! Stump land eats up half the money 
your land is worth if cleared—and all the money y 
would get if you raised crops where the stumps now stan 
besides the taxes which now return you nothing! Land is 
high priced to be wasted that way. - Crops bring in too 
much money to be passed up .that way. -,You have paid for 
all your land—why not farm all of it?

profit on forty acres the first year and $750 every year 
after, in extra crops and added value of land — by

your neighbors or by renting your machine at a nice profit. 
Clears an Acre of Land a Day 
My book shows actual photographs and prints actual 
letters from owners, telling of the remarkable feats of the 
Hercules—how it pulls any size stump, green tree or 
hedge in less than five minutes—how it easily pulls an 
acre or more a day. Read how one man increased his 
land value from $25 an acre to $125. Read h5w easy 
it is to clear an acre or more of land a day. The fastest 
working machine made. Prove to yourself that the 
Hercules pulls the biggest stump in five minutes—an 
acre or more a day—and three acres without moving 
the machine. Settle the question of stumpy land 
once for all. My book will tell you how—the quick¬ 
est, cheapest, surest, safest way. 
Special Features 
The Hercules is the only all steel triple power 
Stump Puller made. It is the on'y puller that 
has the single, double and triple power features, giving 
you three machines in one. There isn’t a stump, green tree 
or hedge grown that the Hercules won’t pull out without 
straining or breaking any castings. It’s the only low- 
down constructed puller that has self-anchoring and 
stump-anchoring features — the only one with double 
safety ratchets, that insure the absolute safety of men 
and team. Its all steel construction means 60 per cent 
less weight and 400 per cent greater strength than any 
cast-iron or ‘•semi-steel” puller made. 
New Low Price 
My special advertising offer will enable me to quote 
you my new low price—a figure that saves you at least 50 
per cent of the regular price, and which will make you a 
Hercules owner if you have the least use for a machine 
that rids your fields of all standing stumps. I can con¬ 
tinue this offer only a short while longer—to first buyers 
in each locality.

Grand PrizeYellowStrand Wire Rope Used onHercules Pullers! 
It is this Yellow strand wire 
rope that won first prize at St. 
Louis Exposition— proving twice 
as good as nextbest cable. It is this 
Yellow strand wire rope that is 
being used by the U. S • Govern¬ 
ment at Panama on the real im¬ 
portant worlt of building the 
canal. And experts say this 
Yellow strand rope is one of the 
big helps that will enable Uncle 
Sam to complete the canal a 
whole year before expected. 
Don’t forget—it’s the Yellow 
strand cable that is showing 
such wonderful strength—the 
Yellow strand rope that is beat¬ 
ing all others on every test put 
to it, under all conditions all 
over the world. And it is the 
Yellow strand wire rope that is 
used exclusively on the Hercu¬ 
les Stump Puller— not a green 
strand, blue strand, white strand 
or red strand—but a YELLOW 
strand—don’t forget that—and 
don’t let any unscrupulous 
person or comnanv confuse you.
