Moscow Farmer Sorry He Did Not
Invest.

hi """|
D. W. Driskel, one Of the respon'
sible farmers Of Latah county, and
owner Of a fine farm near Moscow
recently had occasion to write a let
ter to his old friend. George c. Fem
Of Idaho county. Mr.. Fem had OPP
Grated one Of the Idaho National
combines on bis farm during the sea-
son Of 1910, and incidentally Mr..
Driskel inquired Of Mr.. Fem how
be liked the new machine. Here is
what Mr.. Fem wrote in reply;
Grangeville. Idaho. Feb. IL, 1911.
D. W. Driskel.
u am we'll satisfied with our ma
chine. We were bothered some With
the drive chain breaking. II was
not heavy enough for the work 1t
had to do. This year the company
is putting on a much stronger
chain. That vas all the bother We
had 10 speak Of. We made an av-
erage Of twelve acres day working
seven horses. We made run Of
twenty-six days and in that time
threshed our own crop and cleared
$500 on the outside. ! thought that
was doing very we'll"
George c. Fem.
Mr.. Driskel, in commenting on the
statement Of his old friend saids
"Here Is the testimony Of a practi-
cal farmer. Who has told just what
be actually knows from practical
Geld tests and a years experiences.
One cannot doubt such proof. and
while have always felt that the
Idaho National was to be a great
success. am now thoroughly con-
vinced that the machine is today a |
success. The testimony Of Mr.. Fem
has settled the matter in my mind,
and have only one regret. ! am
nov convinced that this great inven-
ton Is Of immense value, and that
would have done better had ! bought
Idaho National Harvester stock in
stead Of mining stock. II ! could
get my money back would certain
" buy Idaho National Harvester
stock today"
Mr.. Driskel. like many careful,
men, looked With some
doubt upon the proposed harvester
which It's promoters we're putting in
the field. and during the years 1907,
1903. and even the following year.

mate success Of the new invention.
This doubt kept him from investing

that he couldn't take the chance

and like many others waited for the
machine to be perfected. He has
discovered. just as thousands Of 9TH

But With this enterprise the op-
