A Distinction With a Difference i YOU may not always get what you pay for. It takes a good judge of values to do that, but if there is one sure rule in business it is—you pay for all you get. You may not be able to see the difference between engines of similar appearance at different prices, but if you buy from a reputable firm you may be sure the difference in quality is there. I H C Oil and Gasoline Engines cost more than some others because they are more carefully made, and more thoroughly tested. Skillful designing, better material, better workmanship, more careful assembling, and more thorough testing, tell in the long run. Given equal care an IH C engine costs less per year of service than any other engine you can buy. If an IH C engine is given all the work it will do, pumping, sawing wood, running the grindstone, feed grinder, hay press, silage cutter, repair shop machines, cream separator, churn, washing machine, etc., etc., it will pay for itself in a very short time in money and labor saved. I H C engines are made in every style— horizontal, vertical, air and water-cooled, stationary, portable and mounted on skids, to operate on gas, gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, dis tillate or alcohol, in sizes from 1 to 50 H. P. Kerosene-gasoline tractors, 12, 15, 20, 25 and 45-H P.

Cotton was rising. When it reached a certain figure he proposed to sell. The day before it hud amiost reached his price. What would it bring today? The farmer needed first-hand information at once. He stepped to his Bell I elephone. The Long Distance connection with the buyer in a distant ckv informed him that cotton had reached the top figure, and he sold his crop at a handsome profit. The Universal Bell System enables the producer in remote rural d-istricts to keep in touch with market conditions without the necessity of leaving home. By the way, have yon a Bell Telephone?
