Arizona republican., 1920-11-10

More than 20 years ago two young men studying in the engineering de- pertinent of the University of Wiscon- Sin, formed a companionship that was to result in the invention of the great est labor saving device of the age, and | in the foundation of a great business | enterprise. The men were c. W. Hart | and c. Fl. Parr, inventors of an oil | burning tractor, which was placed on | the market 19 years ago as the Hart | Parr tractor.
 The two young men were held to- | gether by a common vision, a mutual | ambition, that of binding a machine to | relieve the drudgery of farm life and | one that would conquer the difficult | soils of the northwestern prairies.
 Side by Side, early and late, they dis cussed and worked out their idea, with great persistence overcoming many ob- stacles until they at last realized their dream. They evolved the first oil burning tractor known to the world and experienced a phenomenal and i'm mediate success. Each year sees the usefulness of their invention extend Ing over a broader and more extensive field, more far reaching than they could ever have dreamed of. even in the optimistic vision of those early days in the workshops and laboratories of their alma mater.
 The "Old Reliable" Hart Parrs con- Quered the virgin soil of the great northwestern prairies, and they did more than that. They paved the way for the modern Hart-Parr 30 of today, the last word in tractor evolution and power farming efficiency. It is a sig nificant fact that many of the "Old Re- liable" that first plowed the prairie land of Wisconsin, are still in actual opera ton today.
 With the development of the tractor farming has been revolutionized, placed upon a basis much broader than ever had been dreamed of in the past, and at the same time, new and import ant manufacturing industry of unlimit- ed scope, has been founded.
 The Question Today
 What the farmer of the Salt River valley is asking himself today is not, shall I buy a tractor7 but what make of tractor shall buy? This question Is answered in various ways by the num- erous manufacturers of these wonder full power implements, and differing reasons are given for the replies. And each of them is worthy of investigation It is often the case that one type of tractor is needed by farmer of one class while an entirely different one may fill the necessity of another man. In designing the Hart-Parr 30, an effort has been successfully made to place upon the market, a tractor that would answer every reed on the farm that any tractor could. The company then evolved a machine that was stan oardized to suit the all round need of the ranch, in size, tonnage. shape, pow CT. adaptability. and simplicity of con- etruction. Not a detail was overlooked to make the Hart Parr 30 the ideal universal implement for power agricul- ture.
 Since the building of the old Hart Parr No. i, the great granddaddy of all tractors, in 1901, many companies have been organized for the manufacture of tractors. and indeed, in the past few years. tractor factories have appeared to spring up over night.
 The farmers choice of a tractor al first glance, would appear to be com plicated one, in the midst of so many wares on the market. were 1t not fol the fact that the wise purchaser of 6 tion, not on type of experimental con. struction based on engineering theory but upon the kind of construction that engineering experience. And that il where the difference lies between the Hart Parr 30 and many makes of trac. tor only recently placed upon thu market.
 
 requisites of good tractor construction which the farmer and prospective pur, chaser will take into consideration They are Ample power for all pur poses, economy of fuel, simplicity O construction and operation. ease of ad justment, adaptability to all draw-b ba and belt work. and durability of con struction.
 For Fair Week Visitors
 Visitors to Phoenix during fair weel will have an excellent opportunity t fudge how the Hart-Parr 30 operates for a demonstration will be given in tn big field on the corner of Fifteenth ave nue and McDowell road, half mil east of the entrance to the state fai grounds
 The tractor to be used in the demon stration is the property of W. s. Mont Komery, Jr, of the firm of Montgom ery-Thomas Hart-Parr company, c g9T-241 West Washington street, dis trfbutors of this line of tractor. Thi power implement has an interestin history because 1t is directly respon sible for the formation of the Mont Rornery- Thomas partnership in tn Hart-Parr agency.
 This is how it happened. Two wear ago. ID. E. Thomas, of the present firm was connected with the Southern Dor der Motor company, and sold Hart Parr tractors in the panhandle countr of Texas. as well as throughout tn southwest. Mir. Thomas, in fact, wa the pioneer tractor sales agent in thl section of the country.
 Among others. he sold MT. Mont zornerv two Hart Parr tractors thu Were used in producing a crop of cotto on TgO acres of land. The local ma ma vaa so pleased with the way the trac tors operated and the excellent resuIl he obtained from them. that he foresa Immediate popularity for this machir tn inc salt River valley. The partner sh,n of MT. Thomas and MT Montgon cry as distributors of the liar. ..i, u. was therefore a logical outgro"'h the original sales
