MULLINS HAS PLOW FACTORY

Solon B. Lewis, the son of the
original inventor and manufacturer
of the Lewis Upright" plow stock
(now made by concern in another
town in this section) has invented
and patented a wrenchless plow
which has many advantages over any
plow Of it's type. There are no bolts
to loosen, as a rachel bar or setting
bar runs up through the beam and
is locked by a spring bolt that fas-
tens under the beam. To set your
plow, release the spring bolt lock and
elevate or depress your handles to
the desired slot in the rachel bar, let
go your bolt and you are again
ready to resume your work. This can
be done in from fifteen to thirty sec
onds.
Some of the best farmers in this
section are we'll pleased with the
new plow, and many of them have
already placed their orders with Mr..
Lewis for number Of them.ad
