The benefts that win undoubtedly
result 20 farmers from the recent In
corporation Of the International Har-
Tester Company which took over the
business Of the i've leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered BY a large portion Of
the farming community.
The economical necessity OF a COZ
sOlidation Of the interests Of manufac-
turers and those Of their farmer Gus
toners must De apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cot
OF material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence Of ex-
IRENE and bitter competition between
manufactures and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
Improbable
Tho two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the in
creasing OF the prices Of machines or
the reduction OF the cost OF manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business IN one company.
As can readily be seen, the forming
Of the new company vas not a stock
jobbing operation but a centering OF
mutual interests There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is con
seryative and represented by actual
and tangible assets There is no
stock offered to the public, It having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their assOci-
ates-
The management OF the Interna-
tiOnal Harvester Company is in the
hands Of well known, experienced
men.

producing nearly or quite 90 per cent
OF the harvesting machines Of the

It also owns timber and coal lands,

It is believed that the cost OF pro-
