THE SIG MOGUL
DEMONSTRATION
Much Interest Shown At Elliott
Bros. Tractor Show

About fifty autoes drove out to
the tractor show at the Tom Davis
farm last Tuesday afternoon and the
work of the little SIS Mogul was
watched by hundreds of farmers
anxious to adopt better and more
economical methods Of doing their
work.
This engine hitched to three four
teen inch plows moved steadily and
easily across the field. The soil, cut
to a good depth. was turned over
smoothly, and in the opinion Of near
ly everyone present the tractor made
very satisfactory showing.
Judging by the interest shown by
the farmersit is only a question of a
short time uill the tractor will be in
use on most Of the farms in this
locality.
The simplicity and ease of opera
ton as well as the low price of the
Mogul SIG makes it very desirable
piece of machinery for the man on
the farm. With one man to oper ate
it. the work of eight horses is per-
formed at cost of only about $500
per day for kerosene and lubricating
oil.
Elliott Brothers will be glad
to explain and demonstrate this
machine further to any one inter-
ested.

numbers.
After the concert the Hurley mem
