country. "No Hill too steep; no Sand
too Deep" and delivering power or
the belt to do the job with plenty of
reserve power. Well, what we start
ed to say was that this old Thresh'
box Gas is commonly called has beer
on the job thirty-nine years, and only
laid eff three seasons, and still does
as nice work as any machine regard
