Every time the old man went
down to the sea he stopped at the
little cottage and had a cinnamon
bun and a glass of lemonade. He

THAT COUNTS
There is perhaps no better illustration of co-operation between an industry
and the people it serves than that of the implement industry and farming.
Its inception was the making available to other farmers, the tools which one
ingenious farmer developed to lighten his own labors and enable him to accomplish
more in the always -too -short seasons.
Its support by farmers to the point which has enabled the budding of organiza-
tions financially strong enough and technically equipped to carry on large scale
experimental engineering has increased its efficiency and usefulness to the benefit
of every former.
In the implement engineer, the farmer has had a partner ever intent on finding
easier and more profitable ways of doing the jobs he has to do. The co-operation
of the implement maker, in this respect, has transformed farming and made farm life
pleasanter and more profitable, ---a co-operation that really counts.
