Mr, Dreger drove his Saxon Sixacross the coun try and found the roads almost im passable in many places. In relating some of the experiences of his recent trip to an interested group at thj J V. paldwin Motor company, distributors of the Saxon Six for southern, California, Mr. Dre ger said: ' "Our party left Columbus on Janu ary 8 We made very good progress until we met a blizzard in Kansas, where we -were held up for several days. The snowfall was so .heavy" dur ing this storm that the roads were entirely obliterated and it was neces sary to break our own road when we again started, . , "Thft going1 was very rough during the. next few days arid we plowed through snowdrifts that seemed im possible for any automobile to buck. The , Saxon never faltered, however, and we had the satisfaction of pulling several other well known cars out of the drifts" where they were stuck. We were told all. along the line that we were the first car to go through this winter. People along the way said that a rumber bf ears trying to make the cross-country trip had turned ba'ck after unjuccessftiUy bucking the mud and-snow-. - "Speaking of mud in Arizona we encountered the worst roads'of the trip. We came through heavy black adobe that stuck in the wheels-iintil it. was impossible for them to. turn and it was necessary to pry the mud off with a pick handle every ffew hun dred feet.

We took a chance, however, and came throufeh with flying colors. You can appreciate the difficulties when I tell you that one day we made only . 10 miles. We again played the Good Sa-( rnaritan here by palling two differ ent cars out of mudholes.' "We made the trip, in .18; days. with out any mechanical trouble arid the Saxon Six is running as well as she. did the day we lefv." Mr. Dreger is an employe of the Saxon dealer, il. Platte.

Reserve Power Saves Time and Money r" To get satisfactory results you must have abactor with plenty of ex cess power. V ' " 1 Plow Man tractors set a high mark for reserve power. That's why tl ey do better work and last longer. They make good under difficult field conditions and can handle heavy belt work with ease. You can cover more acres, get more from each man's work-savV time and reduce costs. Reserve power means minimum service, satisfied customers, larger 'sales. ' Lowest In Upkeep Back of the Plow Man is a great record for low operating and fuel expense in both Amer ica and Europe. Farmers say the Plow Man operates smoothly with but few repairs or de lays. Thus the value of our all-standard con. struction is proved from the standpoint of practical everyday service.
