Great Emancipators
The Reaper in 1831
and now the FARM ALL
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, while men and women toiled for
their daily bread in the fields of the world, Cyrus Hail McCor
mick built a stiange machine which did the work of several
men. That machine was the McCormick Reaper. Cn the heels
of the Reaper, bolh Agriculture and Industry leaped forwa:d
with great strides.
TODAY another invention is creating another far-reaching
revolution in farming. This machine is the McCormick-Dee ing
Farmall, the first true all-purpose tractor. In time lo come, ibe
invention of the Farmall will take ils place with the invention
of the Reaper in the schoolboy’s his-ory book.
THE REAPER began man’s emancipation from hand labor in
the harvest. The Faunal] now frees him from dependence on
slow Animal power.
THE FARMER with his Farm-11 and the machines that co with
it is ready for every power ieh He is *«Mv equinoed for horee-
’ess fanning. He is master of time and season, broad acrejr\
big crop, and low cost production, rle has put the iabo; of
many men into the hands of one, and made it far easier. He
is using his Farmall tractor to give him leisure and profit so that
he and his family may enjoy the good things of life.
