the distribution of the products of fac
tories who are not endeavoring to give
a perfect machine at reasonable price.
More especially should the dealer dis
countenance the purchase of goods that
are out of date and the factory has dis
continued manufacturing them, because
they can be purchased at lower prices,
nor should the dealer attempt to force
upon his customer new and untried ma
chine in the interest of a manufacturer
who desires to experiment on new ideas
Rt his customers expense. As one of the
difficulties that enters into the trade is
the disposition OF some customers to in
sist upon trying a new tool in the field
before making settlement on the plea
that the tool may not be perfectly made
or of good material. and will not do the
work for which it is intended. and in the
event that the tool does not fulfill the
requirements it may be returned To the
dealer but in the event taat it is salts

farmer will come ia and make settlement.
Using the argument that his neighbour

certain kinds of tools because they were
not suitable and would not do the work

fact, but most likely the trouble was in
the operator, which resulted in The return
to the dealer OF an implement in which
there was no fault whatever. thus de-
moralizing the trade in that neighbor-
hood and causing the dealer a great deal

The dealer had been in the habit of cN-

customers expense. Therefore. il seems
reasonable to suggest that ali improve

very Objectionable features that has been
in the trade since the early introduction
of farm machinery.
Improvements in Machinery.
Improvements in machinery are certain
ly commendable and the factory that
does not keep pace with the requirements
OF the hour is not entitled 10 the dealer s
consideration; neither is the factory that
IS continually changing its construction
from year TO year entitled to the dealers
business. as il brings such varieties of
tinuance of the manufacture OF certain
kinds. that often it is impossible for the
dealer 70 get repairs for goods that he
has sold, that as a whole are practically
in good condition and suitable FOR the
work. but for the lack of some small part
must go to the scrap pile. resulting in
financial loss To the customer not anuci-
