John Farmer Buys a TRACTOR!

When John Farmers grandfather
drove his claim stakes ia the four
corners of the homestead, he
dreamed of q big barn to shelter
the mules he'd need as power to
farm his acres. Those were the days

meant hard labor Cor every member

Now, John Farmer has Just bought

forms myriad tasks that mules

How has advertising affected Life
on the farm? Without advertising,
few farmers could afford tractors
few would have radios, electrified
homes, automobiles, automatic re.
