ars of the time,

re not many men who can say 
kept house for over GO years, 
are glad that The R. N.-Y. has 
•ing 50 years of this time. We 
women subscribers who have 
outside labor for more than 40 
rder to support a family. 
"You know.” said the lady whose motor 
car had run down a man, “you must have 
been walking very carelessly. I am a very 
careful driver. I have been driving a car 
for seven years.” “Lady, you’ve got noth¬ 
ing on me. I’ve been walking for 54 
years.”—Toronto Sun. 
The use of steel where strength is 
needed in the Bellevue No. 10 
Spreader is assurance of its ability to 
stand up to hard work—not alone for. 
one season, but for many years. 
There’s the steel arch that keeps the 
bed from “giving” and that acts as a 
support for the upper cylinder. The 
bed is built on channel steel sills and 
is supported by steel braces and 
straps. And the cylinders that pul¬ 
verize the manure are steel and each 
tooth is riveted to an angle steel cross¬ 
bar. The distributor is made of steel 
from the sharp points of the blades 
clear through to the square shaft to 
which they are securely fastened. 
Rugged strength characterizes the 
entire Bellevue No. 10. 
That’s the only kind of a spreader 
that is profitable for you to own—one 
that’s built from the ground up to give 
you the same economical, satisfactory 
service, season after season. 
The Bellevue No. 10’s that kind of 
a spreader. Ask your dealer about it. 
—and if he doesn’t know, write us for 
our free Spreader Catalog.
