Call and see us before placing your SPRIHB DUST CAP Last season we did the biggest disc business in our history. We advertised the splendid qualities of the VAN BRUNT disc, and there area great many good qualities to talk about. This is not too early to consider your machinery-buying. If you need a disc, come in and let us show you the VAN BRUNT. Or better, ask your neighbor how he likes the VAN BRUNT he got of us last season or the season before. Note the above cut carefully. It is a representation of the interior of one of the discs of the VAN BRUNT single disc. We wish you to especially notice the oil chamber, which positively excludes all dirt, and the oil has no possible chance to leak out. One good oiling for every quarter section is enough. Oil these discs when convenient and, if not used for a month, when you hitch on to the machine it Will be ready for business. There is but one piece to each bearing to this disc, while in all others there are five or six pieces to each bearing. This bearing is made of chilled steel, ias hard as glass. This is a great improvement over the old style bearings, which are bound to wear in a little while, allowing the dirt to work in, cutting the beating, allowing the disc to wobble. This, of course, means poor work and general dissatisfaction. Minot, North Dakota IS art rasa OSCAR L. VEACfl, Mgr. loans IMINMWM .IS' V4'|I If' .ia- 1 •a VUv-r '?i' •',! i-'frf
