made of genuine chilled metal which Is hard
er than steel can be tempered, and will wear
longer than steel. They will run steady. as
they have center drafts, and they can be
easily adjusted 10 take much or little land
They nave sloping landsides which gives
tight draft by cutting and turning the furrow
over easily. These Nplows will run through
heavy grass, weeds or stubble when other
plows choke up.
Shares on plow wear out oftener than any
other part and have to be renewed. We sell
tine shares at a very low price, th US the saving
OF a few cents on each share will pay for all
the other repairs about the plow.
A plow like any other machine should be
made of as few pieces as possible. consistent
with the lifetime OF each piece. We believe
the combination OF this plow is the best. con.
