Buck Rakes Built By Farmer-Mechanlc
In Great Demand Over Northwest Ohio

Pennsylvania have been buying the
rakes.
The firm has manufactured total
of 100 rakes and so far this season
have built 40 of them. Thes four men
can build usually two rakes week.
The arrangement is for the farmer to
furnish the chassis. Hilty prefers a
heavy chassis taken from one of the
larger automobiles in the 1928 to 1884
period.
Prefers Heavy Chassis
He has built the buck rake on the
chassis of the lighter cars but the
rake must be correspondingly smaller
with a consequent reduction In eff
cheney.
The use of the power rake is in line
with the development of the power
shovel, device far more efficient and
a much greater labor saver than the
old hand method of moving dirt.
Altho the firm has been able to get
some priorities on material this prob
lem has been more acute this year
than usual. Another problem in their
manufacture is the present emergency
is the increasing difficulty to get old
automobiles. People have tendency
to hold on to them more than usual.
Many cars in the junk piles, however,
can be renovated to do years of USE
full service on the farms of America,
Hilty stated.
AS to the future of the business
Hilty was very optimistic providing
that materials may be obtained. If
the war lasts too long there may be
because of materials short
ages but at the present moment the
demand far exceeds the supply, Hilty
said.

Small TOlUn Stores
NOU Haze Advantage

Small town stores have more than
held their own so far in the war
period, according to Ohio State Uni
versity's Bureau of Business re-
search, following analysis of 100
retail store reports.
Conservation of rubber and trans
portation congestion have brought a
new appreciation for the small town
and neighborhood stores, as many
customers forego their trips to the
larger shopping centers.
At the same time the Ohio State
bureau suggests that the smaller
stores can't be too sure Of continuing
a better showing than the larger
stores. With commodition growing
harder to get, the larger firms may
have a future advantage in pur-
chasing ability and larger inven.
tories.

Firm Managed by Philip Hilfy
Has Built 40 Power Rakes
This Season
Service is Popular on Farms at
Present Time Because OF
Labor Saving

Farmers in northwestern Ohio are
profting from the ingenuity of Philip
Hilty, inventive farmer living soutf
of town on the Dixie highway, who
manufacturers auto buck rakes and
has just completed successful sea.
son.
This is a farm power tool which en-
ables a farmer to gather and store
hav. Other uses to which the device
is put are picking up straw after the
combine, putting up soy bean hay,
picking up corn shocks later in the
fall, to mention a few.
Hilty employs three workers in the
construction of the rake-his son,
Herman Hilty, Henry Hilty and Den
ard Loganbill. He started making
them three years ago at the Augs-
burger garage but last year set up
his own shop at his farm on the Dixie
highway.
Labor Saver
The device is a labor saver and at
the present time with the farm labor
problem becoming acute the tool is
becoming increasingly important. 1t
has been estimated that the buck rake
reduces haying costs by so per cent
and speeds up the job of getting the
crop stored.
Hilty has chosen to mount the rake
on an old auto in preference to trac-
tor as some manufacturers have done.
Hilty states that this type of rake
makes for more fexibility. Shorter
turns can be made and visibility is
improved.
The Hilty firm has been frequently
mentioned in agricultural journals
and newspaper dispatches. The May
issue of The Country Gentlemen and
the April issue of the Ohio Farmer
describes the buck rake in some de-
tail mentioning some of the improve
ments that the Hiltys have developed.
Originate improvements
Walter Baxter, Van Vert county
farmer developed the first buck rake
in 1885. Philip and Herman Hilty
several years later developed the
mechanical lift powered by the motor
of the car and they originated water
muffler that removes all fire hazards
from the equipment.
Despite the fact that their business
has never been advertised in any pub
iication they have always had consid-
erably more work to do than they can
handle. Farmers all over northwest

Mr. Hendy a look. So / have the right to kill
him under Mohammedan law"
These words. as it happened. awoke a nos
talgic echo from the Princes past. Back in the
1e20's, when he was wowing society as the
Emir OF Kurdestan, he turned up one day with
a Princess, a Kentucky beauty previously
named Kitty Spigh.
Kitty later disappeared as mysteriously as
she had come. Nobody bothered much over the
exact manner in which she had severed con-
nections with the hgh-riding potentate until
ne got engaged TO the Chicago heiress Max
inc Stresenreuter-Culver. Then those ne
elected details became rather important
When did you divorce her asked Mama
Stresenreuter
Il can't say that offhand, but I will get
you a copy of my letter" replied the Emir.
And then he explained that according to
the Mohammedan custom all he had had to do
TO put himself and his previous wife asunder
was write letter notifying her that she
wasn't his wife any more.
So there was no wedding between His
Highness The Emir Of Kurdestan and Miss
Maxine Stresenreuter- Culver, of Chicago.
Anyhow, after all these years of knowing
how he wound up marriage, 1t was nice TO
find out how he started one.

ward his own lawyer, and began to ques-
tion Irene.

The Prince was equal to the occasion. With

Plain Kaye Dishon later confirmed this.

found to read "You have been in my mind
