The InternatiOna
Harvester Company
in perfecting labor
saving farm machinery
is helping the won1aI1
as much as the J man

The farmer who always has field to plov
has no time to plan for the betterment of hi
crops nor the extension Of his farm. The womaI
with too many duties cannot pay proper atten
poultry. When drudgery takes up the day
there is no time for development.
The use of two very simple machines
a gasoline engine and a cream harvester
as they have been perfected by the 1nterna
tional Harvester Company, will do much tc
increasethe woman's leisure and earning capacity.
So long as the cream has to be skinned
from the milk with ladle and the butter
churned by hand, the work will always remain
a woman's work.
But when an I. H. c. gasoline engine is
running the cream harvester and is calling out
for more COWS to supply more milk that more
one that farm hand will willingly assume.
When the water is pumped by gasoline
engine, and, if desired, is piped through the
house and stabe-when there is hose instead
of heavy water bucket to clean off the porch
when its power runs washing machine, and
a churn it is much easier to keep hired girl
On farm thus equipped woman has time
to extend her garden and her poultry raising,
and the making of dairy products, until the mar
keting of her garden truck, chickens, eggs and
butter develops into one of an important revenue
product.
The wife's sphere of importance grows, she
is freed from her burdens of drudgery and
keeps pace with her husband
The work of the International Harvester
Company is not only bent towards making this
the day of the business man farmer-but also the
day of the farmers BUSINESS WIFE.
