WE REALIZE
-—the wheat crop is lielow normal and the price
is not, at prr*4*nt, up to our expectations, and
ihrft buying new machinery in the face of these
facts is not the biggest pleasure we ever exper-
ienced. But, when these conditions exist, it
behooves us to SAVE. Our Oliver Nichols and
Shepard Combine WILL SAVE your grain*
