years ! A machine that goes wherever it is wanted under its own power 
and that does the work of a stationary engine in addition to the work of 
a horse. The device that harrows your ground, drills, plants, weeds and culti¬

day and does it better, easier and more economically, that costs little to operate 
and that costs nothing when not actually working,— that makes money for you

annihilates farm drudgery as the automobile has anni¬ 
hilated distances. It is the touring: car of progressive 
farming. It multiplies the efficiency of farm labor as 
modern machinery has multiplied the efficiency of 
factory labor. It enables one man to do the work here¬ 
tofore done by two. The only limit to its capacity is 
the capacity of the operators. With three shifts of 
drivers the Universal Tractor can work in the fields 
for twenty-four hours straightaway. Its total opera¬ 
tive cost is trifling in comparison with the cost of the 
feed consumed by a horse. 
The Universal Tractor is obedient to the touch of the 
thumb. It runs with uniform and unvarying speed 
according to your will and not at the caprice of your 
horse. One, two, three or four miles per hour exactly 
as you wish, the Universal Tractor maintains a per¬ 
fectly uniform and unvarying rate of speed no matter 
how rough or uneven may be your fields. 
If you want to cultivate close up to the rows of grow¬ 
ing plants you can regulate the position of your shovels 
accordingly. If you want to straddle the rows you 
can do so without danger of injury to the plants such 
as is almost certain to occur when you do your cul¬ 
tivating by horse. 
The Universal Tractor will do any work that a horse 
can do in cultivating your fields and do it much better, 
quicker, cheaper and easier. It will also operate any 
machinery that you can operate with any three to five 
horse power engine, and it requires no special skill to 
operate. It is so simple that a child cau start it, regu¬ 
late its speed or stop it without assistance and without danger. 
It is built as strong as a young locomotive and as accurately 
as a watch. It cau not freeze up in the coldest winter weather. 
It requires little attention and it is so perfectly adjusted that it 
is not liable to get out of order. All parts are standardized and 
interchangeable and can be removed or replaced without the 
assistance of a mechanic. 
Think what this will mean to you. Think Of the time 
you will save, of the trouble and delays you will avoid. 
Here is a cultivator that runs itself, one that works 
without tiring, one that never needs to stop for water 
or feed like Old Dobbin, that maintains a uniform 
rate of speed, that you can guide to the accuracy of 
n hair's breadth, that has power to spare and that is 
always ready for work. Here is a harrow that works 
automatically,—a drill and seeder that does not depend 
upon any horse,—a weeder that will go through twelve 
acres of ground in less time than you now require to go 
through six acres with your horse-drawn weeder. 
Here, in the same machine, is an automatic churning 
device, a motor for your separators, a power plaut that 
will operate nil your small machinery, one that will go 
to the place where the work is to be done instead of mak¬ 
ing you bring the work to it. And all this for a price that 
compares favorably with that of a high grade stationary 
engine capable of doing only the simplest kinds of work, 
and this only when the work is brought to the engine. 
The Universal Tractor opens up to you, Mr. Farmer, 
an outlook of unlimited opportunity. No more delay 
cultivating your growing crops with a horse drawn 
cultivator. No tramping on the young plants, nibbling 
at the tops of the tender sprouts, no more lurching and 
plunging of the old horse as he starts up after pausing 
to shake off a horse fly. No more back breaking labor 
over the chopping box or the feed mill, no straining at 
the cider mill; no more hard drudgery for your wife 
at the separators and churns and washing machines. 
With the Universal Tractor you will enter upon a 
better, easier, pleasanter mode of living because all 
your hard work will be made easy, your labor will 
return you a larger profit, and your sons and daughters 
will not want to leave the farm because farm life will 
be more pleasant and more profitable than city life can 
ever be.
