Vito are the Up-to-D Date Farmers?

Is9it those who influenced by every wind of doc
ine is it those who caught by every gold brick bunco
scheme those who buy every tangled tool that
out just because unscrupulous dealer rushe into
print with lot of rot, claiming be the BEST or is it
those sensible farmers who think for themselves and reject
all tools that have the appearance of being got up to catch
the farmer that does not think.
John Deere tools have been sold here for forty years.
and each they have grown favor until they are
recognized as the acme Of perfection.
There is not dealer handling implements in Decatur
county who would not handle Deere goods it they could
buy t but the only dealers handle inferior goods
because they not buy Deere goods Deere goods
uchin demand that other dealers who can not buy
them direct from the factory will watch for assign
ment sales hoping to secure few Deere tools to SELL
lot Of con talk in the county papers about this that
and the other planter will catch many up to date
farmers The up date farmer is looking for the John
Deere No. planter the model disc harrow and goods
that Glass; tools that made to tools that look we'll
tools that have been tried and found right They want
tools that made by reliable factories and sold by re-
able dealers Before you buy in and look over the

children, but when it to buying farm TOOLS there are
good standard tools the bargain The Deere
goods have market value like and hogs and dealers
handling them do have to resort to questionable
methods in order to sell them.
Files of the Leon Reporter and Journal for many years
back will show that the Deere planter has been advertised
