The venture has been a successful
one. Mr.. Zimmerman stated that al

machine is being used TO good ad-
vantage in all Of the farming com.
munities of the country including
Texas, Kansas. Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and Colorado.
An automobile, Mr.. Zimmerman
claims, canpot be injured in usage
with the tractor attachment, be
cause he says there is less strain up.
on the automobile than when tray

fact that the weight of the automo
