DO IT MORE QUICKLY WITH AN AVERY TRACTOR! Doing a thing more quickly is a big factor iu successful farming. If you could cut down time in ploughing, discing, harrowing, drilling—if you could run your farm with one man less—then there would be a bigger bank balance waiting tor you at the end of the year! To do held work more quickly, you simply have to do it with an Avery Tractor, Instead of patting two men with two teams to plough your laud, put one man with an 8-16 h.p. Avery Tractor on the job. The work will be done more quickly—more cheaply. And so with discing and every other operation—Avery means a -saving in time —a saving in , wages —a saving in every way. When the Avery is idle, it is costing nothing, and it ties up no land for grazing. Its “food” is Kerosene—-and* Kero sene is cheap! The Avery Duplex Gasifier converts it into powerful gas—a rich mixture t'oat gives complete combustion with a minimum of carbon. The B.l6'\p. moiei is ideal —there are sizes tor all farms.
