HAVE PRODUCED
( A DEPANDAbLE
! FARM TRACTOR

Several years ago, the General Mo-
tors corporation. recognizing the
great economic need which existed
for a mechanically dependable farm
tractor, decided to concentrate their
extensive manufacturing facilities
towards the production of such a
machine.
At first thought, perhaps, II would
seem rather strange that an organi-
zation such as General Motors cor
porations, that had already achieved
n worldwide reputation with such
motor car successes as the Cadillac,
Buick, Oakland. oldsmobile, Chevro-
let, Scripps Booth and G. NJ. c.
trucks should turn its attention to
the production of such distinctly
different type Of unit as farm trac-
tor. ItI
But on second thought. II is quite
obvious that the same highly eff
cient production methods which made
possible the manufacture Of automo-
biles in such huge quantities as to
afford the public unusual values
both in quality and price. could well
be utilized for the same purpose in
the manufacture of farm machinery.
Under the personal direction of
Mr.. w. c. Durant. former president
of General Motors corporation. ex-
periments were begun TO perfect
farm tractor which would. as near
as any machiue ever can, displace
the horse for the majority OF farm
tasks and do a great deal more work.
better. cheaper and quicker.
From these efforts, came the Sam
son tractor. q machine which was
designed with a full appreciation OF
farm requirements. and built to do
all the work It Is supposed to do with
dependable efficiency at all times.
Knowing that the efficiency OF
any farm tractor depends largely
upon the efficiency OF the implement
attached, whether IL is a pillow. n disc
or a harrow. a countrywide inves-
tigation was made in the effort to
secure a line OF farm implements
which would measure up with the
same quality standards as the new
Samson tractor.
For so years. the Janesville Ma
chine company of Janesviile. wiscon-
sin. has bcoa. manufacturing sue

which had an envitable reputation
for enduring quality and worth
throughout the country.
The Janesville tractor plow, the re-
suit OF over halt century of plow
manufacturing experience, had won
prize after prize In plowing matches

Other Janesville implements OF the
company designed for tilling, plant
