FARMERS MAY LOSE IF
|. II. c. LEAVES STATE

The custer proceedings that have
been instituted against the Internal
ional Harvester Company, if same
eventually Gust, may bring sorrow
to the heart of the farmer. As con-
ditions are throughout the entire
state the big corporation carries al
most an unlimited quantity of re-
pairs, so that if a farmer has
breakdown he can 20 at once TO the
dealer and secure the much needed
repair. But if the big corporation is
compelled to withdraw from the state
il may be that local mem would not
feel like making tho iyxe6tment in re-
pairs sufficient to accommodate the ex-
listing demand, at any rate sufficient
to meet the exigencies Of. the occasion;
for the local dealer would not know
exactly when he would find the big
corporation back in the state as his
competitor.
