we are too far from your line of

two
or three hundred miles away, and
yet nearer to us than any King and
Queen of Great Britain and of Can-
ada have ever been before.
AND one other thing, Your Maj-
esties. We are emboldened to ad-
dress you in these respectful but un-
conventional terms, because we be-
lieve that both by your short rival
experience and by the long -developed
instinct of the great families to
which you each belong, you are not
unskilled in reading beneath the of-
ficial veneer to the solid timber of
popular feeling that lies below it, We
believe that the cheers and the flag-
waving of us, the million$ of the
Canadian people who will .line your.
path, will mean more to you than
the conversation of the official din-

legislators and the aldermen, the

SERVICE in the implement field is no mere
appendage or fancy trimming.
Time and timeliness are the essence of success
in most farming operations. Great loss may be
sustained by the farmer, during seeding and.
harvesting, through machine breakdowns caused
by wear and accidents, if parts are not readily
available. It is then, that promptness in securing
parts has a definite money value.
Massey -Harris hasalways taken a pride In•.
the manner in which it has rendered Parts service„
Fit and quality may be taken for granted, for
replacement parts are identical with the originals.
Its extensive selling organization,with local dealers.
in practically every town across Canada, brings.
this service within easy reach of every farmer,.
No matter, too, how old the machine bearing
the name "Massey -Harris" may be, spare parts.
can always be obtained for it.
0 Last Spring a farmer ordered a small part fora drill he
bought 30 years ago. No demand for many years for
this part resulted inthe pattern becoming destroyed. To
make a new pattern and part cosi $25.00, an expenditure
willingly undertaken to preserve the Company's long and
enviable record for service—although the port sold tp
the farmer for only 15e.
