New York Quotations 
NEW YORK, APRIL 9. 1920 
Another crop of strikes has raised high 
.links in the produce trade. Ferries and 
lighters have been tied up, and deliveries 
in many lines slow and uncertain. At 
this writing things are looking a little 
more favorable for the movement of food¬ 
stuffs. 
MILK PRICES 
New York, for April, $2.55 per 100 
lbs. for 3 per cent milk at points 200 to 
210 miles from the city, with 4c per 100 
additional for every teuth of 1 per cent 
butterfat over 3. 
BUTTER 
Top grades are higher, owing to rail¬ 
road embargoes, which have cut supplies 
s hort. Not much change in lower grades, 
as supplies of these were larger. The 
Danish butter on hand now is selling 
mainly under 65c. It runs a little lighter 
m color than domestic and carries less 
salt.

Short-sighted Economy 
In passing the Syracuse market re¬ 
cently (which is one of the crudest city 
markets in the Lmited States) I stepped 
into the square to find some eggs. The 
eggs were all sold, so I turned my atten¬ 
tion to onions. One man with a sleigh¬ 
load of potatoes and onions was offering 
fairly good onions at 55 cents a peck. 
All, right, one peck. Not thinking about 
how to carry the goods, .1 took from my 
pocket a $5 bill. The poor fellow was 
puzzled on making change. The dollar 
bill came all right, and he found a half- 
dollar and four dimes, but no nickel. 
Rather than drop the five cents off the 
price, he concluded to drop the sale. I 
was about to say, “Give me the 40 cents 
or else give me the 50 cents and take off 
a handful of onions,” when I happen'd 
to think that I had no basket or bag for 
carryin. so I passed along. A short dis¬ 
tance away I found another load of 
onions, better than the first, at 60 cents a 
peck. This time I was bent on buying. 
“How can 1 carry a peck down to my 
office?” I asked the woman in charge. 
“Have you any paper bags?” 
"No, we can't furnish-bags, but I have 
a lot of old newspapers. I can do up a 
package for you.” and his wife, started 
on the perilous job. “No,” I said, “I 
would not undertake to carry package of 
that sort down through the city.” While 
we were considering ways and means an¬ 
other customer came along. Same prob¬ 
lem. same solution. I started for the 
neares t store for some kind of package. 
Nothing to be had. Across the street 
was a tea store, but a flowing stream 
of melting snow to be crossed. I nearly 
lost my onion fever, but finally made the 
venture, bought the bag for a cent and re¬ 
turned for the deal. "We thought you 
didn’t care much about buying,” was the 
woman’s smiling remark. "I thought 
you were not very anxious to sell.” was 
my logical reply. Fifty bags would have 
cost 30 cents. or. r. b.

All-Steel Beater and Main Frame 
You don’t have to pay a big price for a good spreader. You can of course—but why do so, when for $175.00 
you can buy as good a spreader as any made? The “National Chief’—combines the best features of the best 
spreaders and in addition it has many practical improvements not found on any other make. 
Based on the prices asked for other spreaders, the “National The “National Chief” is practically indestructible. It is 
Chief” should sell for no less than $230.00. And it would be sturdily built with full length angle-steel truck, sills and main 
well worth the price. Yet we ask only £175.00, because that is all a food spreader frame—rigidly cross-braced and trussed. This steel construction prevents warping and 
need cost the consumer when it is sold by the logical route —- direct from shrinking. It keeps moving parts always in proper alignment and prevents binding, 
factory to farm. With ordinary use this spreader will last a lifetime. 
Return-type Roller Bearing Apron — Automatic Force Feed 
Two features — the frictionless return-type apron 
running on a bed of roller bearings, and the roller bear¬ 
ing beater—combine to make this the lightest draft 
spreader and the easiest on the team. Easy to load— 
only 42 inches to top of box any place. 
Automatic force feed cleans box out thoroughly. 
Steel encased, dirt and dust-proof worm gear apron 
drive, runs in oil bath—noiseless, powerful, durable. 
Eliminates all the undesirable features of the ratchet 
drive. 
Cut-under front trucks—spreader turns in its own 
tracks. Spreads 4/^. 8. 11. and 13 loads per acre.

The “National Chief” Manure Spreader is only 
one illustration of how Farm Implement Head¬ 
quarters can help you cut down the “high cost of 
farming.” On this device alone we can save you 
at least $50.00. We carry over 350 items on 
which we can save you just as much proportionately. 
The quality of every article is high: the prices 
which we ask are low. Our savings are possible 
not through lowering the quality, but through 
lowering the cost of getting the implements into 
the hands of the ultimate consumer. We do this 
by our “Short Line” methods of buying and sell¬ 
ing—direct from factory to farm—by establishing a 
Farm Implement Headquarters or central distribut¬ 
ing point where farmers can purchase implements 
at prices as near as possible to actual factory cost. 
That we have found a practical way to handle im¬ 
plements at the minimum of cost is proved by the 
remarkable values which \\c offer. 
If you do not have one of our catalogues, you 
should get one at once. A postal will bring it.
