Side by side, with the town dwellers, farm people buy all kinds of consumer goods, from breakfast goods to broadloom rugs, from canned goods to cosmetics, from raisins to refrigerators. Time was when farm buying was more limited, when farmhouse furnishings were more meagre. The change is due directly to the increase in the buying power of farm families. The reduction in operating costs and increased output per man effected by modern farm machinery gives farm families today more income from their operations in supplying agricul- tural products for home and export markets and more money for both the necessities and luxuries of life. Greater prosperity for all. Massey -Harris, builders of farm implements for over one hundred years, has contributed in no small measure to this progress through the development of modern labor-saving farm machinery.
