On Rflogul and Titan Tractors
Nearly five thousand of our boys in khaki ami
blue are coming, back to work. We shall, of
course, make a plate in our organization for every
, one of them, but we wish to do it without throw
ing out of employment the men who took their
places and have worked faithfully for us ever
since. This is not gtung to be so easy for us as
tor some other?, because the Government desig
nated ours as mi essential industry during the
war, and we actually increased the efficiency of
our organization alter our boys left to join the
ranks.
We can, however, give steady work both to
o'ir present help and to the returning soldiers and
sailors. IF VK CAN' UKING AliOl T AN IMME
DIATE INCREASE IN TRACTOR PRODFCTION.
In order to do this we must move forward to the
farm some thousands of tractors that are ordered
for delivery at various dates up to May 1st, and
we shall also have to ship a large number of trac
tors that farmers intended to order later tin's sea

ers who are so situated as to be able to take ad

accept immediate delivery of your Mogul or Titan
