Joliet, Illinois The Only Real 0ne-M At The Demonstration! Be Sure To Seelt! At the great tractor demonstration which starts nextweek, you . can see the Bates Steel Mule, the only real “one-man” machine, right on the job. You won't see one man operating the tractor and another looking after the plows. No, Sir! The Bates Steel Mule uses- only one man for every operation from plowing to harvesting. This one feature alone on the Bates Steel Mule is worth a good $200.00 a year to you over the profit any ordinary tractor could even though it had the same power and general utility of the Bates Steel Mule. Just suppose you use your tractor 100 days a year for field work. The of an extra man at $2.00 per day (which is what he costs, counting lodging and money) puts $200.00 a year in your pocket. Two-Hundred-Dollars-Every-Year! Do you realize that that is 10 per cent on two thousand dollars? That’s almost enough to buy three Bates Steel Mules. When you figure that almost any good make of light tractor will pfactically pay for itself over horses its first year and then see how much “‘one-man” Bates Steel Mule will save over one of these “two-men” tractors, lant, running night and day, has or.Steel Mules.

It must be a steady worker, operating successfully on kerosene at all loads, before it is entitled to your con- sideration. Buy the tractor that measures up to the standards set by the Mogul and Titan Tractors, which meet all the above requirements. In the real kerosene tractor class Mogul and Titan Tractors stand supreme. See them at the Fremont Demonstration Field, Au- gust Tth to 11th. We are willing to let you be the judge.
