The Wingham Advance-Times, 1949-09-07, Page 7The "Pony" that replaces a Team W ITH the introduction of the "Pony" tractor, Massey-Harris extended the advantages of power farming to practically everyone who makes his living from the soil. There are thousands of farmers and market gardeners whose acreage does not justify the investment in large-size tractor equipment. Such noqi were barred from the use of power machinery until the "Pony" came into the picture. Today, it is helping them to increase their farm output, reduce production costs, and eliminate old-fashioned drudgery. The "Pony" is an outstanding example of the farm-minded engineering that lies behind every Massey-Harris machine. In designing the "Pony", Massey-Harris engineers were not content merely to build a small-size low- cost tractor. They studied the kinds of work that a small tractor woutd have to do, in practical farm use, to give satisfaction to its owner :. . and they calculated the require- ments of power, traction, weight, and en. durance that such work would call for. As a result, the Massey-Harris "Pony" out-weighs, out-pulls, and out-works every other tractor in its class. It will do more work than a team, and much more work than a little walk-behind tractor. Going further, Massey-Harris engineers ;designed an assortment of quick-mounted tools for the "Pony" ... exactly the right size to yield the maximum amount of finished work per hour of time and per gallon of gasoline. With these tools, the "Pony" not only does more work than a team, but does it better, faster and cheaper.

Reavie Motor Sale an agricultural fair that attracted great crowds. Then the reader wonders why Wingham cannot have similar gathef- ings. To my personal knowledge some isf our master minds are asking them- selves, and asking others, why. It is getting irksome to many citizens that Wingham has no agricultural park of sufficient acreage to allow of a half mile course, buildings adaptableto a Fall and Spring Show, and withal a baseball field.
