IT DON'T PAY

tell a lie; like the chickens, they
come home to, roost.
The trust machine companies
seem to have notified their
agents to run down the Acme
Hodge machines, to tell the
farmers that they. cannot buy
the machines after this year,
that they cannot getextras, and
talk in every other mean, con-
temptible way about the COM
pany.
Well. this may do for a low
bred, Ignorant, worthless fellow,
but not for such a great COM
pany as othe trust company,
which is composed of the Deer
ing, Champion, Plano, Milwau-
kee, and Mccormick.
I'VE can hardly understand
why their agents should talk
this way about other machines,
but it is only to their disadvan-
tage and hurt, because the hon
est farmers of this country are
after the right and the truth,
and are going to patronize the
people that stand for right and
justice. Right Loyalty have they
done it this year Parties who
have even bought trust machines,
after they found out they had
been lied to have cancelled their
order, and bought the Acme
Hodge machine. They say.
they have lied to US in one thing,
they will lie to US in another,
and we cannot trust them.
what is more, we have Away S
got the Hodge machines when
we wanted them, and always
got extras just as promptly as
we could get them anywhere else,
and the Hodge carries more ex-
tras in Great Bend than any
other company.
, Now, we ares going to show
the farmers that the antitrust
company, that is the Acme
Hodge, is going to sell the
, Hodge, 3 it. mower $500 cheap
er than the trust company's
mowers, and is going to sell
them hay rakes $500 to $500
cheaper than the trust rakes.
And if the Hodge mower is not
as good or better than the Deer
ing or Mccormick, or any other
mower in existence, if it is not
as heavy or heavier, if it is not
as we'll made and durable, we
will refund your money.
We want the people to know
that the antitrust machines are
bound to sell lower if the people
4patronize them, and are bound
. to knock the trust in the head il
they continue to do business in
such an arbitrary and oppres-
siye, way.
We are thankful to the farm.
ers for the way in which they
stuck to the machines that have
fought the trust. They will be
rewarded for it now, and more
SO in the future. We have no
i'll will against a soul on earth
we are simply fighting for the
right which hurts some people
