HOW often do you hear melodies that are familiar,
and yet you do not know what they are! Wouldn't
it be fine to have in your home a Manualo, "the

it is built by Baldwin.

PIANOS and JPIAYER PIANOS
There are many things that have helped make Baldwin-built Pianos
the standard the country over. First, is the policy of producing
only high-grade instruments. Second, the two completely equipped
factory groups and experienced organizations of piano builders in
Cincinnati and Chicago. Third, the tremendous demand for the
instruments which enable Baldwin to buy the choicest materials at
the lowest prices. Fourth, the celling method which eliminates
jobbers' and wholesalers' profits. The Baldwin line includes the
Baldwin, Ellington, Hamilton and Howard Pianos aud the Manualo,
"the player-piano that is all but human."

Dear Sir: x
My five best reasons why my father and brother
should buy an Emerson Tractor
First Reason Is Because they have repairs of all
kinds for the Emerson Tractor in Alliance.
Second Reason Is The Emerson is all inclosed, dust
proof. All main parts run in oil and grease cups are
easy to get at.
Third Reason Is You can plow, plant, cultivate and
dig your potatoes with the Emerson Tractor, because
width of the wheels are just right.
Fourth Reason Is Because any boy or girl can run
the Emerson Tractor, because it is easy handled and
controlled.
Fifth Reason Is You are sitting up out of the dust
where you can see the land side of your tractor.

Messrs. Melick & Redmon,
Alliance, Nebr.
Gentlemen:
After a careful consideration of the
merits of the E. B. tractor and the Grand
Detour 3-bottom plow, I give these five
reasons why anyone thinking of buying a
tractor and plow should invest in this
outfit:
1 J3est materials used in construction
throughout.
2 Service: Systematized service. sta
tion that insures prompt filling of orders
for repair parts and avoids loss of time.
3 Simplicity: No complicated parts
to be always giving bother to the inex
perienced operator.
4 Dependability: A thoroughly reli
able machine that can be relied on in
times of emergency.
5 Durability : With reasonable care
it is good for years of hard work.

Dear Sirs: .
Reasons why a farmer should buy an
E. B. tractor and a Grand Detour three
bottom plow :
1 I think a farmer with 80 acres or
more under cultivation should have an
E. B. tractor, as it will save horses, and do
more work in a given time at less expense
and with less men.
2 An E. B. Tractor will do any work
in the field that horses can do; you can
plow, harrow, plant, cultivate, and dig
potatoes because it will travel between
the rows.
3 -A farmer ought to buy an E. B.
tractor because he can break up a field,
plant and raise a crop of corn that would
pay for the breaking, with horses it would
take all summer and be too late to plant.
A The farmer ought to buy an E. B.
tractor because it can shell your corn,
grind your feed, cut your hay and other
jobs too numerous to mention.

Study the Answers
If you are interested in the Tractor proposition it will be well worth your time to study the answers submitted by the
contestants. They have obtained their material from family discussions, actual performance of E. B. Tractors and tractor
literature. What they say has real meat for the man -who considers the advisability of investing in a tractor.
