To The Farmers of
Robson County.

We are Jobson System Dealers for
this County, and as such are actively
engaged in bringing the Common
Sense Methods of easier and more
profitable farming to every nook ard
corner of our section.
These methods and the remarkable
Jobson plow have received the en-
dorsement of great Agriculturists
State officials and practical farmers
all over the country, and these Lcne-
fits are being extended to all parts OF
the country at rate that certainly
proves its merit and genuine, prac-
teal advantage. No farmer can af-
ford to overlook the opportunity f a
thorough investigation Of this Sys-
tenn before going further with his
spring work.
The Jobson plow has no equal in
preparing the land (late or early, wet
or dry) before planting, and it is also
of extraordinary value in working
growing crops and in getting ready
for second crops. In fact, it is so ne
thing the farmer needs every month
in the year. A little investigation
demonstrates this beyond doubt.
Call on us for literature and full
particulars. We're here to serve you
