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.
