Five Years! GUARANTEED I FOR I Five Years! If you want to be insured against futuae troubles on a manure spreader, let us show you the “Litchfield." This is only machine on h earth giving a five year guarantee, and this is where we take the breat h away front ail competition. Did you ever hear of sucli a tiling as a five year guarantee on a | manure spreader? We think not. What would the average spreader iJ manufacturers be doing with a five year guarantee which, according I to the record of most of these machines, would put the makers into f bankruptcy, if they made good. We are authorized by the Liu-htield Mfg. Co. of Waterloo. Iowa. I to issue a guarantee for five years on their 1906 Spreader, which we g want to show you. By this we mean we are issuing this guarantee for five years witli the Company behind us and if you want to tie I protected against that continual expense and annovance found in K other machines, in the way of repairs and repair troubles, vou will g not miss this opportunity. This guarantee is made this year on the Litchfield Spreader tie- I cause, from actual scientific and practical tests and experience of B several years on these machines, it is found that thjs guarantee can be made witli absolute safety and conservatism. We understand : that the last year’s output of the factory lias required something less than $20.00 wortli of repairs for the thousands of machines put i out by them over their entire territory. Tliis we consider a wonderful record for a manure spreader. £ Knowing it to have this kind of “backbone’’ we see no reason why j they should hesitate to make the guarantee and assure our customers if of absolute protection against repair troubles when buying a Litch field Spreader. If you will come and see this Spreader and see where it differs from all other spreaders—look it over, compare it with other * machines and pass your own judgement on it. you will see why this ( guarantee is possible. We beleive in talking business and when we have a good proposition we warit our customers to know it. In the next issue of this paper we are going to explain a mechanical principle and we hope vou will read it. f. M. PEED.
