These today are classed in two groups: the reel type power mower and the rotary power mower. In servicing many of these each year, we have cen­ tered our interest on the Wor­ cester Model 750 18", as the manufacturer puts it, a quality product at a price that defies competition—$132.00, TURNING TO the rotary type power mower which became popu­ lar last year . , . Under certain conditions where the grass is long, they are more popular than the reel type but the general feel­ ing has been they have cost too much for what they consist of in comparison to the reel type. This season the Otaco Co. have a ro­ tary type mower with outstanding features such as an automatic slip clutch which protects the engine crankshaft if the blade hits a solid object. Another is the built- in leaf mulcher which saves rak­ ing time in the fall and among the likeable features of the Otaco rotary is its selling price. Sim­ plicity of design and manufacture keeps quality high and price low —only $76.95. TURNING TO chines where no complete without soil Machine and Ingersoll, Ont., manufacturers of the famous Gemmer type steerjng gear used by a great majority of motor cars produced throughout the World, have this to say: The Ingersoll washer, both in design washing rna- home is Quite one, the Inger- Tool Co.

Prices range from $127.50 upward. IN CONCLUSION, we have the plowshare to deal with. Well, a home can' be complete without one but we pause for a while and mediate on the luxurious foods on the table. Has not the plowshare played ah active part from whence it sprung? We are now thinking of Mr. Farmer and wanting to know if he ifi satis­ fied, Is he getting his dollars out of plowshares? Our plowshare' business dates back to the horse and buggy days when they didn’t break shares. Why? Too slow. Today we’re geared up, going faster; even the tractors are go­ ing faster than the horses did in the past. TO MEET this demand for bet­ ter shares, the Otaco Co. Ltd. have built a share, namely Gold Tip, which is their trade name to distinguish the share. In thia share is put a metal, namely Ductalloy—a metal produced by Otaco Ltd. under the first Can­ adian licence issued by the Inter­ national Nickel Co. The metal in this group consists of steel and cast iron. Experimentation showed us that shares made of Duetalloy would take shocks without break­ ing like steel shares do, and that shares made of Ductalloy would wear for more acres than steel' Shares will. Please get this fact clear. We don’t say they’ll never break but the percentage that does break is very low and not worth getting excited over. After all, a chain is only as strong as its Weakest link. We have on hand a full line at all times of Ductalloy Bhares. FURTHER WE DO hard sur­ facing shares which give them three to ten times longer wear backed by the company the rod is purchased from.
