higher; vegetables are declining under 
heavy receipts. The weather is not bright,

Do You Throw 
Away Grain 
Not if you know it. 
Yet. if you depend on a custom 
thresher to thresh your crop, jou are 
almost sure not to have your thresh¬ 
ing done at just the time when the 
grain can be handled with the least 
loss through shaking out. If you 
thresh in the field, weather conditions 
may greatly damage your crop while 
you are waiting your turn at the 
"threshing rig.” 
With extra help, hard to find and ex¬ 
pensive, you cannot afford to have your 
men waiting for the threshing machine 
to arrive. Throwing away time is as 
costly as throwing away grain. 
The modern answer to the grain-rais¬ 
ing conditions of today is the 
With this efficient machine you are 
entirely independent of weather condi¬ 
tions and labor shortage. You thresh 
when your grain is ready; everything is 
ready to go ahead when you have your 
help on hand—no time lost; no grain lost. 
The Gray Individual Thresher em¬ 
bodies every convenience which SO years 
of experience in building threshers has 
proven to be practical. Made in sizes 
to fit every crop. Light but strong; 
easy to move from place to place; fine 
for hilly country. 
Be sure to write at once for our 
catalog get a Gray Individual 
Thresher this season. The cost 
" surprisingly low.
