Machines enable fewer men on the farms to maintain and increase production. As a result of the continuous research and experi­ mentation by the agricultural implement industry, farmers today can get tractors, combines, and power machines that offer greater advantages in the saving of time and labor. In times of manpower shortage, modern equipment is especially essential in getting farm work done at the right time to produce best results. For more than one hundred years, Massey-Harris has been a leader in developing machines that through service and efficiency contribute to the progress of Canadian agriculture. Your local Massey-Harris dealer will be glad to give you particulars of the latest models. MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY, LIMITED Established 1847
