GRAIN BINDER
I Take the main frame for example. Its
strong, wide steel bars are widely over
lapped and hot-riveted together. The main
bearings are self-aligning there's no twist
ing of the frame or binding in the bearings.
The wheels are extra high and have wide
traction-giving tires. They furnish ample
support for the machine and extra traction
in wet fields.
The John Deere makes better bundles.
Its three packers instead of two insure this.
This binder handles extremely short or
heavy tangled grain better than others with
less dogging and less missed bundles.
Its bundle carrier is the easiest to operate
we have ever seen no particular effort to
dumporreturn to position it can be adjusted
as wear develops to keep it in easy-working
order.
The Quick Turn Truck is another feature
you will like. It keeps the binder running
straight, permits of square turns, takes off
side draft from the horses, and because its
axle is flexibly mounted, the wheels hold to
the ground.
There is no other binder that will give
you the years of satisfactory service that
you can get with the John Deere it's real
economy to buy this better machine.
Be sure to come in and see it before you buy.

One method of cut
ting motoring costs
Low grade oil, or oil of unsuitable body,
is the direct cause of fully ninety per
cent of all overhauling, repair and re
placement costs. It is also frequently
responsible for the low mileage many
an automobilist complains of and blames
on his gasoline.
Finding just the correct' lubricating oil
for your engine will save you a lot of
expense and bother.
Polarine is the highest quality motor oil you
can buy. Its stability under high engine heat
provides a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal in the
cylinders which insures maximum power and
mileage from gasoline. Its smooth, continuous
.film protects bearings and engaging parts
against wear, vibration and breakage.
Polarine is made in four grades light, me
dium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but only
one quality. Get the proper grade for your
car next time you buy clean-burning Red
Crown Gasoline and you will start cutting
down motoring costs.
