1.-THE HARNESS YOU DIDN'T OIL

How many times during last springs plow-
ing or the fall harvest did you stop your out
tit to repair a broken harness?
Sometimes it took fifteen minutes to get it
liked or maybe it didn't amount to much and
only kept you a minute or two.
But during the entire season just how MANY
stops of ten or fifteen minutes each did you
make; how many times did you hold your
four or siX-horse team-just because of a
little break that didn't amount to much? A
ten minutes delay at the busy season costs
something too.
And how many times could the DELAY have
been prevented if your harness had been
carefully gone over before the start of the
season. In many instances a good washing
would have brought to light the weak places
and ten cents worth of repairs might have
been the means of saving you a half hours
time later when time was worth dollars.
You remember just why you didn't get that
harness fixed before the work started. 1t
was too cold to do the work outside. You
couldn't take it into the house and so YOU
waited till spring. Then the work came with
a rush and you didn't get the harness fixed
at all.
Maybe you didn't take the harness to the
shop because you thought you could do the
work cheaper at home. But can YOU
When our harness department will thor
oughly wash and oil with the best grade of
oil for only $1.50 per set?
Besides there may be places where a few
cents invested in a reinforcement, an extra
splice or a stitch or two, will save you dollars
later, not only in time saved but the actual
cost of repairing.
Now is the time to get your harness repair
ed and oiled-have it all ready when the
spring work opens up. And don't forget
that we g~uarante our work, guarantee the
quality and your satisfaction.
