For more than 70 years, Wil
liam Fee. 85, of Hensall, has
been collecting antiques. He has
now reached the point where he
catalogues his collection items by
the hundreds.
Foundation for the collection, Mr. Fee ‘says, is a group of
articles left to him by his pa
rents. He has a unique rope bed
at least 150 years old and also
prizes a Northwest Mounted
Police hat which dates back to
the Riel Rebellion. Second story
of his home is crammed with
various items, ranging from the
ever popular spinning wheel to
old time sap producing equip
ment. The latter consists of a
hewn wooden sap trough and
•wooden taps.

More Production at Less Cost
Modem Equipment
Never before has a man been able to do so much work
on a farm so quickly and easily. New methods and
modern mechanization have increased farm efficiency
giving more production per worker at less cost.
Up-to-date equipment solves the farm labor shortage.
Mechanized farming is the modern* low-cost* high output,
more profitable way to farm.
For more than one hundred years Canadian Farmers
have found in Massey-Harris machines the kind of equip
ment that saves time, saves labor, and enables full
