THE SQUARE TURN FARM TRACTOR A Nebraska product, conceived and perfected by Nebraska inventors, manufactured in a Nebraska factory with Nebraska capital behind it, officered and directed by Nebraska's ablest business men. The Tractor. Whicluhas received the highest praise and acclaim by all who have seen it demonstrated pronounced by me chanics and fanners alike to be the ultimate farm power, a tractor for big and little farms, the tractor which has led tho entire field in all the National tractor shows all over the country. The tractor that plows its four furrows, turns in its own tracks and starts back while other tractors are turning, the tractor which has the following exclu sive features which place it in a class by itself, far ahead of thorn all, and whoso features are protected from imitation by eight broad patents. 1. SQUARE TURN. The Square Turn Tractor uses a new patented transmission known as the "Giant Grip Drive..' This device does away entirely with costly trans mission and differential gear renewals, takes the place of the clutch and makes the Square Turn Tractor the tractor with the least number of working parts, it also makes it possible to turn tho tractor in its own length, on less ground and in less time than you can turn a two horse team. 2. TWO WAY. This patented transmission also en ables tho operator to drive his tractor in either direction at the same speed and power, making it the only two way tractor on the market, 3. UNDERSLUNG PLOWS. The Square Turn Tractor is the only tractor that carries its . plows where they ought to bo, ahead and below the driver, in plain view from tho driving seat. This enables the tractor to plow closer to the fence than a team. 4. ONE MAN TRACTOR. The plows being in plain sight of tho operator, makes this the only one-man tractor on the market. 5. POWER HOIST. Plows are raised or lowered for cleaning, or for turning, by a power hoist driven from tho main shaft of the engine, and can be operated by the driver at a pressure of his foot on the hoist pedal while the tractor Is traveling either forward or backward or stand ing still. Automatic cut-off stons plows when they have been raised to the desired height. Tho tractor has other exclusive features which we have no room to enumerate. The Demand For farm tractors is ably attested to by the fact that this company has alreadly received orders for ten times its yearly output, and that the combined tractor factories of the country were able to supply only about one-fourth of the demand for tractors in this country alone. In addli tion to this we have received thousands of inquiries from all over the world, Mexico, South America, and even the European countries are clamoring for Square Turn Trac tors. In the United States alone there are over three and a half million farms wlfere tractors will ultimately be used, and more than two riiillion of these farmers are al ready considering the purchase of a tractor. Our Output with our present factory unit is three tractors per day This output will pay a profit of over 50 per cent on the en tire $700,000 in stock issued to date. With our new build ings, more equipment, we will increase production and materially add to the earnng3 of the stockholders.
