For Men Who Want a Quality Tractor 
As farmers study and buy tractors more and more, the merits of Case 
Tractors are better appreciated. Quality is the first thing to consider, advise 
authorities. Wise men heed it. For quality means performance. 
Careful farmers are more inclined than ever to 
turn to an old-established concern which has a rec¬ 
ord behind it, one that can afiEord to include con¬ 
struction superiorities. That was evident at the 
demonstrations. 
From grandfather to father and son (this is our 
75th anniversary) has passed the word that Case 
machinery may be depended upon. It is almost a 
farm proverb. This has decided hundreds to 
choose Case Tractors. Few can content them¬ 
selves with lesser quality. 
With 24 years of gas engine experience, Case has 
set the pace in the farm world for kerosene and 
gasoline tractors, of the higher grade, as it did in 
the steam engine field years ago, where it still 
dominates. 
This preference for Case was proved last winter, 
when over 15,000 farmers wrote to us to inquire 
about these farm labor-savers. Hundreds of 
testimonials have come in from all over the 
country from satisfied, enthusiastic users. At the 
demonstrations, farmers saw for themselves the 
superiorities which Case can afford to put in its 
machinery, and made comparisons. Farm paper 
and agricultural college experts praise the per¬ 
formance and simplicity of Case Tractors. 
Most people now concede Case leadership. 
Announcing a Fifth Size 
In addition to the four master tractors offered 
last season. Case now introduces the 9-18. This 
smaller size follows Case principles, and is built in 
the same honest and careful manner as the 10-20, 
12-25, 20-40 and 30-60. All are made complete 
at the Case plant by Case workmen. The 9-18, 
though designed for smaller farms, is not too 
light, too small nor too cheap. 
At the tractor demonstrations this summer the 9-10 
created a profound sensation. Orders for hundreds were 
received from farm owners and dealers. 
All know that Case Tractors have been approved after 
long and severe tests. Owners have the insurance that comes 
with owning a proved tractor, not an experimental one. 
Announcing a Small Thresher 
Another announcement of widespread interest is that 
Case now offers small, light threshing machines suitable for 
use with tractors. While these have all the well-known per¬ 
fections of the larger CaseThreshers, their capacity and price 
make it possible for each farmer to own his own thresher. 
We have just prepared a new 1917 Case album in colors 
in commemoration of our 75th anniversary, which we think 
is the finest yet produced in the agricultural world. It is 
a book so replete with information of value to every 
farmer that no one can afford to be without a copy. 
This catalog describes Case kerosene and gas tractors, 
Case steam engines, Case threshing machines. Case road 
machinery. Case automobiles, and every Case product.
