NEW COMPANY HAS EXCLUSIVE LINE IF
 SAMSON PRODUCTS

Farmers and ranchers of Maricopa and adjoining counties. who are inter eSted in progressive methods of agri- culture and modern conveniences will be glad to learn of the local agency which has been opened under auSpi- cious circumstances at 10 West Van Buren street for the purpose of dis tributing Samson products that will be handled exclusively by the new firm of Brown, Beard Largent company, sue cessors to the Whyman Machinery company.
 The new company is incorporated for $150, ,000 under the laws of Arizona and the officers are: Bert O. Brown, presi- dent and general manager; w. J. Beard. vice president, and B. H. Lar gent, secretary and treasurer. Samson products. while comparatively new, are attracting attention all over the coun- try and includes tractors implements, farm trucks, automobiles and the won derful Sunuyhome light and power plant with its many electrical novel, ties. This complete line is made by he Samson Tractor company, a divi- sion of the General Motors corporation, which controls the well-known Cadn- lac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Chev- rolet and Scripps- Booth automobiles, and the GMC trucks.
 Bert o. Brown, well known local Chevrolet dealer, was the first to ap- preciate the importance of this line and was the principal figure in organ izing the new company and in bring ing the products Of the Samson com pany to PhoenIx. The Samson model M tractor is a two to three blow trac- tor especially adapted for heavy belt work such as lifting water for irriga- ton, threshing. silo filling, etc. This tractor is designed to take the place of a barnful of horses. without cost ing a small fortune to buy and main tain.
 Unlike the average I-beam and channel steel frame tractor which weighs so much that it takes a large per cent of its own power for self propulsion, it is a close coupled unit
 all by itself from radiator to rear
 wheels The compa ctness. even weight distribution and low center of gravity gives the Samson great sta bility causing it to hug the ground and preCluding any danger of rearing and | tipping over. There is no lost motion
 for it is built and fabricated like a i S300O automobile Every working part 1 is enclosed and protected from dust l rain or mud.
 1 4 still cheaper tractor is the mar | vicious Samson Iron Horse. Respond 1 ing readily to the touch on pair of | short rope reinS, the little tractor is driven just like a team Of horses and | seems to possess to an uncanny oegree | the intelligence of these animals. The reins are attached to pair Of levers i By pulling the lines back the iron ! horse is made to back up: if released | it goes forward A pull to the right
 turns it in that direction: a pull to the | left in the opposite. The lines can he
 held in two hands or one, the lightest
 kind of a tug causing the machine tC go in the direction wanted. The irOr horse must be seen in operation to be l appreciated.
 A truck which will pass with perfect
 ease over a freshly plowed field, across
 soft peat land, through deep sand
 adobe mud or a stubble field is another of the Samson products. These % ton and 11z ton trucks can dC
 this because they are equipped witt
 patented extension bases for wheels, g
 wonderful new invention which gives
 them sure traction under conditions
