Think Before You Actl

You farmers who have had your wind
mills destroyed by hard winds can save
money by not having them replaced,
but instead purchasing small gasoline
engine with which to do your pumping.
One Of these little machines will save
you much anxiety in long periods when
there is not sufficient wind TO run mills.
They are cheap. always ready and cost
less to operate than yearly repair bills
on windmills Call and consult and see
engines before having that old mill re-
paired or purchasing new one. We
