NEW KELLY AUTOMATIC PRESS IS
INSTALLED IN THE AVALANCHE
JOB DEPARTMENT THIS WEEK

The new Kelly Automatic Press IS
being installed this week, by Mr.. Jas.
f. Lievsay, of Barnhart Brothers and
Spindler, Of Dallas This press is
one of the latest models of the Kelly
factory, and is one Of the most mar
velous machines ever put out. It's
speed is far in excess Of any job
press that has even been built, and
with its automatic feeder, produces
work more accurately than human
hands can feed il, and the class Of
printing is equal TO the very best.
The Avalanche job department is the
best equipped plant in this section
Of the Plains. and can handle any
kind Of printing II the Lubbock peo-
Die send out Of town for their print
ing they do so because they prefer
TO give the out-of-town fellow the
work, rather than the local printer,
and would rather build mp Houston

DO not believe that the Lubbock mer-
chants will do that and we therefore

TRACTOR PROVES SELF
AT DEMONSTRATION TUESDAY

there are large plow manufacturers
who are experimenting and special
zing on implements exactly suited
for the use Of the Fordson.
"You can't overload tractor and
get and profitable results said a
representative Of the Tri-State Mo,
tor Company Of III Paso. who was in
attendance AT the tractor demonstra-
tion Tuesday. "You have got to give
he tractor the same consideration
rs YOU would team Of mules or hor-
ses when il comes to loading them.
The tractor has come TO stay. IL will
do the work better than IL can be
done with animals II will do the
work cheaper, judging from Govern
ment statistics than il can be done
with the animals.
Practically all kinds Of farming,
especially that Of preparation of the
ground for planting was demonstra-
ted Tuesday morning. Many inter-
ested farmers were in attendance and
they showed their interest by taking
advantage Of the unusual opportunity
afforded by getting first hand infor-
nation about tractors. Feed grind
ers were demonstrated, showing the
stationery features Of the belt power
on the Fordson. At noon there was
sen ved tine lunch, consisting of bar
berued meats, pickles, buns and Bud
weiser Following the, dinner, Mr..
J. X. Jennings, County Agent, gave
bunch Of statistical information
which has recently been gathered by
the government
Ten acres Of ground per day is
the claims made for the Fordson.
Three disc plows were pulled easily
over heavy-weeded land, also two
disc harrows were pulled easily by
the Fordson. Economical operation
seems to be the most popular thing
about this tractor, however another
feature is that Of Universal service.
The same service that is maintained
throughout the world for the Ford
car is the same with the Fordson trac-
tor.
We are sure, that as an education-
al feature. the farmers who attend.

for the efforts of the Lubbock Auto

and keep the quality to the highest
standard.
The Avalanche proposes to keep IN
the forefront in the printing field in
Lubbock, and when better printing
is done, and faster printing is turned
our the Avalanche does it first.
Mr.. Lievsay, who installed the
machine is certainly on TO his job,
and he has put this complicated piece
Of machinery in operation in a short
time, and shows his ability as a
machinist. He has been with his
present employers a number Of years
and was here four years ago to in

Avalanche Office. He Is congenial

About twenty years ago, when
automobiles began running over the
country, you could hear almost any
day and almost any man, saying that
1T win be a long time before bug
gies will be done away WITH and
that Gears would never be success
because Of the expense.
The automobile kept coming Just
the same and now il IL a necessity.
Almost every farmer is the owner OF
an automobile or contemplating pur-
chasing one in the near future. They
have come TO stay. The same con-
ditions that met the automobile are
meeting the tractor. Only few
years ago was the tractor put on the
market and yet we can still hear
farmers and even business men claim
that the farm will not support trac-
tor In the first place, from the OBJ
servation Of the first tractors put on
the market. we find that they we're
hardly a success Few people knew
that Henry Ford mad been building
on tractors for years and years and
that the first tractor he offered on
the market was his twenty-first mo-
dole. The first few tractors that came
out was entirely too large and ex-
pensive. Ford built large steam
tractor. we are informed, when he
first started out, but it, like other
large and heavy tractors, was found
impractical FOR farming
Henry Ford. we are told By his
factory representatives, purchased a
nine thousand acre farm near Dear
born and on this farm he has spent
something like two million dollars
experimenting with tractors and IL
was not until he had perfected the
present tractor -Fordson-that he
was satisfied Then the public was
offered this tractor.
Mr.. Phillips, representing the
Fordson factory at the tractor DEM
0nstration here last Tuesday, tells us
that the main objective now TO make
the tractor take possession of the
farms, lies only in the hands of the
purchasers who will use care in the
purchasing Of machinery to be at
tached Co the tractor. He says that
for years the tractor companies made
the tractors and sold them TO the
farmers who tried to use all makes
Of implements upon them. Now,
