R EAD this leaf from the tractor 
experience of Frank Gerry, 
St. Charles. Minnesota, who 
bought the first Avery Tractor back 
in 1911. 
The Story of Ignition 
On The First Avery 
There are thousands of tractor 
owners like Mr. Gerry who would 
be just as surprised and enthusi¬ 
astic if they once tried a K-W Mag¬ 
neto—because it is specially de¬ 
signed for tractor service. 
The first tractor manufacturers 
bad much to contend with. The 
Avery Co. early appreciated a mag¬ 
neto specially built for tractor work 
*—became one of out- first customers 
land have used K-W Magnetos con¬ 
tinuously. 
If your tractor is not working 
right—try Mr. Gerry's plan—ask its 
to equip it with a IC-W Magneto.

IGNITION Cb 
Cleveland. Ohio. USA, 
“I bought the first Avery Gas Tractor that they sent out in the 
fait of 1911 and used it till the fall of 1919, n•lieu I sold it and 
bought a neiv 25-50 Avery. 
"My first tractor teas equipped with an . Magneto when 
I got it and it did such unsatisfactory work that the company re¬ 
placed it with a . which did very writ, but was of such deli¬ 
cate construction that it Jailed ta stand up to the rough usage a 
Magneto gets in tractor service and was replaced with a . 
These outfits did what I supposed was good work, until I bought 
a small tractor for field work equipped with a K-IT High Tension 
Magneto, and after operating it a few days. I got a K-W Model TK 
Magneto and put it on my Avery rig, aud in all the time I ran it, 
it never failed me once starting or in running under any zveather 
conditions. 
“The 25-50 Avery I nozv have came equipped with a K-W 
Model IIK and gives the very best service
