THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 15, 1915 VIEWS OF TRACTORS ‘WORKING AT FREMO iAncndnnce Large, Demonstrations | All that Were Promised and | Sales Satisfactory. | I MANAGEMENT IS PRAISED There has not been another tractor | show tr ear, and perhaps no time In {the past, that has pleased the tractor | manutactu more than did the N ‘ tional Farm Demenstration, which closed | at Fremont, Friday. While the shows at Hutchison, En and Champalgne, this ]n-n: were more or less successful, the | raine at all of thess put the damper on { the demonstration and on the buying | activities, so that it remained for the | Fremont show to cap the climax. | Tractor men are greatly pleased with | the result of thelr week's work at Fre- | mont. They cannot praise too highly | this Fremont show, which is, after all, the &b that started them all on the path. Three years ago the first show )f this character was held at Fremont The other thows in Kansas, Oklahoma and Ilnols, are merely copled after the | pattern of the big show at Fremont, which was origina planned and exe- | cuted by the Twentieth Century Farmer publication of Omaha ALLIS-CHALMERS ROTARY TILLER ‘ Maay saive Ave Mide: THE HOLT OATERPILLAR Made by Allis-Chalmers Mig, Co., Milwaukee, Wis. | With some of the tractor manufacturers Made by Holt Manufacturing Co., Peoria, Il selling as many as 100 tractors and even more during the week, there was good cause for a cheerful parting, when all pulled up stakes Friday evening. Many ‘of the companies sold upwards | of seventy-five tractors during the week, and* one firm ‘reported 100 tractors sold to one dealer in Kansas, who is to repre- sent the company in that state, It was a good buying crowd that ate tended the tractor show all week. The | tractor men said so. Demonstrations or no demonstrations, the sales booths were always crowded with prospectite purchas- | ers, and for a time the tractor men dur- | ing the lattér part of the week, wrote | orders almost s fast as the pencils could | ! work. I The success of tractor farming has long since been demonstrated. The ques. tion with the farmers simply s which style of tractor do they want, or which | style of tractor 1s peculiarly fitted to their especial needs on a larger farm, a small | tarm, a hilly farm, or a level farm. ! { Keeps Back Invaders, We think of the tractor as a machine | of construction, but it is aleo capable | of great destructive power. ‘“This is vouched for by Edward Molnar of Budapest, Hungary, who has been in attendance at Fremont looking over trac- tors for the Hungarian government. Count Molnar tells of how he mobilised tractors for use in the war, and how he used 110 Holt Caterplliars in dragging forty<two centimeter guns and twenty- five-ton loads of ammunition over snow and ice In the Lupkow and Uzsok Passes up to the firing lines In the mountains.

The Hart-Parr tractors made a hit With the populace of Fremont, too, as they were used to grade seven city blocks, srading nearly half a mile of city streets In three hours. And it cost the Fremont taxpayers nothing—so they should worry. Take it Home to Try Out, Talk about guarantees, the Sandusky Tractor company offers one which shows absolute faith in the product on the part of the meker. The Sandusky Tractor, “The Little Fellow With the Big Pul Is offered to prospective buyers on a proposition whereby they may try it at home for three days. This enables the farmer to see for himselt just what the | mechine will do at his work, and cer- | tainly speaks well for the manufacturer who can show such implicit faith in his | product. | Palverises the Sofl, |' The Allls-Chalmers three-wheel Tractor |and Rotary Tiller were two singular ma~ | ehines which attrected a-great deal of | attention. The tractor with its cast steel | trame, differential, and easy steering qualities is worthy of comment, but most {attention was given tho tiligr which is a Swise invention.
