William Stone Sons, Ltd., •_INGERSOLL, ONTARIO Barris darn Masse the key - dealer one f every lay businessmen community. Serving Canadians in Town and Country It's an old saying that if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a pathway to your door ... but it's only partly true. Unless somebody takes it out and shows it to the people who need mouse traps, most of them will never bear about it. It's the same with farm implements. Even though Massey -Harris has been building better and better farm machines for more than 100 years, thousands of Canadian farmers would still be doing their work the hard way if it weren't for the service of Massey -Harris dealers. Since the earliest days, the dealer (or "agent" as he was once called) has performed a triple service. He has served his farm customers by TORONTO REGINA selling them machines that enable them to increase their yearly earnings. He has served Massey -Harris by enlarging the distribution of Massey -Harris products. And equally, he has served his community, because increased farm earnings result in better business for all merchants, and in better homes, better schools, better churches and hospitals. The Massey -Harris dealer of today is an modern in his methods as any merchant in town. You find him in an up-to-date building on "Main Street" with a showroom to display his streamlined machines and every facility to serve the needs of mechanized farming. He is one of the key businessmen of the community. MASS,EYHARRIS MONTREAL TORrTON 6fubli.hed 1847 MONCTOfs WINNIPEG MILT CURRENT CALGARY MANGON IMMONTON WASKATO= RA/WOtaId *
