IT IS BUILT FOR BUSINESS
A farm tractor is a httrt machine d
aighwl for havjr work and rough ussg-s.
and jrrt. the tractor la aa carrfully and
well mada aa any other high clasa plco
of machinery. Thl fact U emphasised !u
th Avrrjr trartora, which art so evenly
haland and no carefully constructed that
they run aa smoothly aa an automobile,
and with avrn loss vibration. Thin, of
course, aounds unbelievable, but It la trua,
a ran be demonstrated by tha Avery
representative at the Fremont demon
atratlon (rounds.
; On of the favorite stunts of the Avery
salesmen la to start the motor coins in
one of the hue:e trartora and then take
an ordinary "ten penny" nail with half
the head put off. this they balance upon
the remaining half of the head and enow
that It will stand alone; there la not
enough vibration to shake It down. Thla
la certainly remarkable and apeak a well
for tha stability of the machines. Borne
f the huge Avery tractor look big
eevxifh to shake down a barn but tholr
work la so gentle aa to leave eggs un
broken and undisturbed.
Very Complete Display
The Avery display la on of the most
complete on the Fremont grounds. The
company la making a leader of the light
weight tractors and olf-llft plows. There
are five slsea, the three-plow outfit, the
four-plow, five-plow, als-plow, and the
-10-plow eulflt
Comparison with the automobile must
be mad again to ahem that the Avery
tractors are likewise keeping pec In the
matter of elegance and faculty. The
Avery folka claim the first tractor to
be equipped with aa electric lighting and
starting system. It la pointed out that
the electric lighting system will enable
tha busy farmer to work shifts both day
and night In the rueh seasons so that the
tractor can be kept going day and night.
And the advantages of tha electric
starter are well known, avoiding all pos
sibility of broken wrists or wrenched
arms In starting.

Still another feature la dwelt upon and
Is worthy of comment It Is the sleeve
motor which la need in the Avery. This
const-its of a sleeve which fits inside the
i-yllnder. Is easy of renewal without
change of motor, and makes for an effi
cient, economical machine.
' The Avery is a sliding frame, two-speed,
gear transmission tractor and though It
has many features and conveniences as
sbove stated, the demonstrator main
tain that It Is one of the moat durable
and on of th simplest machines on the
market.

Bryan Drives Steel
Mule and Makes a
Straight Furrow
j
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, he of
the silver tongue, cannot only make a
success of oratory, but can. If need be,
turn hla hand profitably to farming. At
least he made good at the Fremont Trac
tor demonstration, successfully piloting
one of the tractors In a publlo demonstra
tion. Mr. Bryan has had considerable eiperi
ence with the democratic mule, ao ft la
entirely fitting that when he faced the
problem of operating a tractor he ahould
select the Bates "Bteol Mule" tractor.
With a Grand De Tour plow attaohed to
the tractor, Mr. Bryan successfully pi
loted th "Steel Mule" over a strip of the
demonstration field, turning up several
furrow as neatly as any plowman who
aver turned sod. Everybody was pleased
with Mr. Bryan's work and he, himself,
was highly elated over hla success. Upon
finishing his task he slighted from the
machine with a beaming conntenanoe,
and as II. II. Bates, the Inventor, ap
proached, Mr. Bryan amlllngly said: "It
Is very easy to drive It straight. I was
very anilous to see how straight a fur
row I could make." And aa for Mr.
Bates, he say that twisting the tail of
his-"Steel Mule" ia more certain of good
results than can be expected from twist
ing th tall of th democratic mule.
Mr. Bryan'a appearance created con
siderable .Interest among th crowds In
attendance at th demonstration. It Is
natural that he ahould be a strong
booster of tractor plowing, entirely In
keeping with his policy of favoring th
plowshare In preferenoa to th sword.

Cubans Bow to Light
All-Work Tractor
Mr. Hall, In charge of the exhibit of
the Electric Wheel company of Qulncy,
HI., makers of the Ught All-work Trac
tor, Is an enthusiastic booster for the
Tractor Farming demonstration or any
thing which will enable him to convince
the man who aays, "show me!" Mr.
Hall aaya that nothing la more true than
the oft repeated statement to the effect
that "seeing Is believing." He telle of
ah experienoe his company had with a
customer located away down In Cuba.
The Cubans, being used to old fash
ioned waya of doing things, were wont to
continue doing tlilnxa In the same, old
way, ' being content with slow, hand
labor. They were very skeptical of the
tractor and Ita workings. Although the
Cuban wer not from Mlaeourl, they
certainly had to be shown, voicing that
statement In their own emphatlo way as
well as making their attitude known by
their actions and continued aloofness.
However, In due time one progressive
Cuban bought a tractor. When it ar
rived, th natives, being prejudiced, en
deavored to throw all possible difficulties
In th way of tha machine, hoping that
they could thus hinder It and prevent It's
accomplishing the work set out for It.
But the tractor, one of the Light All
work Tractors, overcame all obstacle
and did such remarkable duty that the
natlvee, who dame to scoff, went away
to praise. And now they are all boosters
for the praetor as the sturdy man of
all-work,'
Mr. Hall points out that skepticism Is
not 'confined to the Cubans that It is
a mark of Intelligence In a man to want
to' Investigate, and that everybody should
be shown. That's why ha is such a
booster for the Fremont show and why
he Is such an enthusiastic demonstrator.

Peoria Tractors Are
Making a Big Hit
The Fremont Tractor demonstration is
not a Chautauqua, nor a rellgeous revival,
yet, In so far as the Peoria Tractors are
concerned, It certainly emphaaltea the
Biblical atatement that "a little child ahall
lead them." Tha Peoria tractors were
the only tractors on the grounds oper
ated by a child, a mere boy of 15 years,
doing the demonstrating throughout th
how.
Older heads are, of course, on band.
President George McFarland and Secretary-Treasurer
C. F. Iomls of the
Peoria Tractor company left their work
In the hands of assistants, so that they
might attend to Fremont demonstration.
They say that although they have se
cured good business from all shows, the
Fremont demonstration has outclassed
them all as regards actual results paid
business.
The Peoria Tractor company officials
credit their success to ths fact that their
machine Is so similar to an automobile
that ths average up-to-date farmer read
ily understands it Coupled with this
they claim the lightest weight machine
on the grounds handling three fourteen
inch plows at a speed of from two and
a half to three miles per hour.
The LION Tractor

COME AND SEE US AT FREMONT
WHAT THE GREAT LITTLE LION DOES:
The LION is aelf-ruiding when running In a
furrow.
Bide hills have no terrors for the LIOX It
will not tip over.
The LION has only two gear reductions, re
sulting In much power saved, in contrast with
other tractors.
The LION is a three-wheeled tractor; two
drive wheels, one of which runs in the furrow,
and a steering wheel behind.
The LION pulls 8 H. P. at drawbar, or delivers
15 brake H. P. at belt.
It travels faster while working than horses cau
walk, and is untiring.
It costs less than a teem of fine farm horses,
and its "feed" costs little while working, and
nothing when idle.
It requires little care and only common-sense
attention when at work, and need not be thought
of when idle.
Toe L
The LION is able to work all day and every
day in the year, if you want it to.
The LION does all kinds of farm work, such as
pulling plows, discs, seeders, harvesters, drills,
mowers, and hauls anything that horses pull.
The LION, as a 15 H. P. Stationary Engine,
grinds feed, saws wood, cuts ensilage, pumps
water, phells corn, etc.
We know of no tractor which should be classed
with the LiON as to simplicity, durability, pulling
power and price.
The LION'S light weight of 3.200 lbs., its great
traction power, its economy in operation, and the
various uses to which it may be applied, make it
the most Valuable Labor Investment at its price
on any farm.
The LION Tractor is Above the Ordinary, In
a Class by Itself, and Stands Alone the I'ncoaV
querrd King of the Farm.
