Show A BIG VICTORY FOR "THE FORD1 Dallas, Texas, May 19th, 1916. The Ford Tractor Co., Minneapolis, Minn. Gentlemen: One of our experts was at Stamford Monday starting one of our agents with the Ford Tractor. It was well advertised and there were more than two or three hundred people present. The agent for tractor decided ! to make a contest out of the affair, pot out some hand bills and made a bi talk as to how they were poin-r to show the Ford Tractor up. Well, he came out and "we did some plowing in the same field, and, of course, it was about an even draw on pulling plows, but when we took the frentleman out and pulled other tools over the broken land we whipped him to death. Then there was a bi bunch of county commissioners there and we hitched the Ford Tractor to a 6-foot road grader and built one and a half miles bi the prettiest pret-tiest road you ever saw. The Tractor hitched to it and pulled it one round. On coming back the next time their main and only drive wheel was on the soft land. The result was that they just pulled their engrfne down, spun their wheel and could not move the grader. To say the least, It was a bg victory for the Ford Tractor in that territory. Our agent In that county alone claims that he is going to sell a hundred machines. ma-chines. "We think he is overestimating it a little, yet, at the same lime, he Is a very good business man and has an excellent ex-cellent territory. We just pass this Information along to you, for we know you like to hear things of this kind. Yours very truly, R. H. PARKS. |
