Dear Brother and Family:
Your letter received a few days
ago, and was glad to hear from you.
It found me O. K., and I was glad
to hear that you are all well and
getting along nicely. I suppose when
these few lines reach you you will
have forgotten about corn plowing,
will probably be making hay and
threshing. I don't suppose 1 would
know how to farm now, but am will
ing to learn. How is aunt Lizzie

getting along? Xo doubt she speaks ,
of me often. It has been raining a j
little today in France. This is sure
a pretty country, but somehow I,

AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
What If You Were Buying An
Airplane to Use?
You Would Insist on Knowing All About that Machine
Before You Bought It, Wouldn't You?
If you had to make airplane
trips frequently and had to buy a
machine for the purpose, you
would take the utmost care in se
lecting it.
You would realize that your
life, to a great extent, depended
upon the judgment you used in
making the selection.
Buying direetly from a catalog
wouldn't interest you.
You would be interested most
in a machine raad by a manufac
turer who was widely known as a
maker of reliable airplanes.
You would rather buy from a
friend that you know was inter
ested in your welfare.
Most of all, you would want to
see that machine-to go over
every part of it before you bought
it.
The same principle ought to
hold good in buying a farm im
plement. In such buying, aKo, much de
piids upon vour judgment. Your.,
crop production prolit oppends
largely up nit. You want an im
plement that, you can ab-olutely
rely on to help you make t he most
of time.
Why not lake the same care in
sell-cling farm in; oh m-nts that
you would t ake in .e!-et i'l'S an air
