Little Giants Coming Into Ward Co. A tractor of quality that promises to satisfy a great many of our Ward county farmers, is the four cylinder Little Giant, manufactured by Meyers Brothers Company, Mankato, Minn., and handled for the Northwest by S J. Taber & Co., of Fargo. The manufacturers are more than elated over the fact that recently, when the French government sent a commission to this country for the purpose of buying tractors to be used after the close of the war, the Little Giant Tractors were selected by the French engineers, and an order was placed for 180 machines to be deliv ered at regular intervals soon after peace is declared. In France, on account of the scar city of labor, which is bound to grow worse as the war goes on, the gov ernment has taken hold of the tractor proposition with much interest and every farmer who buys a tractor that is approved by the government re ceives 25 per cent of the purchase price from the French treasury to help pay for the tractor. Field Manager W. W. McDermott, representing S. J. Taber & Company of Fargo, is now at the Leland hotel, and will be glad to see or hear from any farmers interested in this high grade tractor.
