Eto Camouflage mTms Price IB 1 - We have reduced the Titan 10-20 price $225. You can now get the world's standard 3-pIow tractor for $1,000. Titan 10-20 $1,000 Cash F.O.B. Factory $1,050 on Time When you buy a TITAN the original price includes: Friction Clutch Pulley A large, wide friction clutch policy, made in fiv. saxes, equipped wild safety shield, is mounted directly cm tha crank-shaft of the low-ped, steady Than engine and delivers th. full power to th. driven machine Th. Titan 1O-20 can be quickly backed into the belt because of the location of the pulley aud th. belt clears tho front wheels and other parts of th. tractor by a generous maryin. It is cot necessary to dig holes for th. front h tn t hf 'l clearance. Th. Titan pulley was not pet cn as an afterthought. The designers did nof overlook It in the first piece. Sc-ne tractor builc'ers committed this very serious error, du. to lack of farm knowledge and experience. To remedy this error, they designed a small make-ehih puiiev, in on. size only, attached it in an awkward place, and chaste you $35 to i0 (ot it. The Titan 10-20 friction clutch pulley tt furnished without extra charge. THERE is no "joker" in this price. We are not telling you one story in this advertise ment and then leaving it for our dealers to break the sad news that the advertised price won't buy a tractor unless you pay extra for a lot of necessary features. The Titan dealer won't charge you extra for "starting and service" before he can deliver the tractor. He won't show you a machine stripped of many essential parts belt pulley, fenders, platform, governor, drawbar, tools and then tell you that you can have these things by paying extra for them. The Titan at this advertised price is a complete 3-plow kerosene tractor. Then there is another thing. We are not experiment ing at your expense when we sell you a Titan 10-20. There is real farm machine and tractor manufacturing ing experience back of it. We have been in the farm machine business for 88 years and have been supplying tractors for 14 years. Not another company in the world knows the farmer's power and machine require ments as the Harvester organization does. Would you entrust your bank account to a man who had never had any experience in handling money? Will you risk your farm profits in a tractor built by designers whose knowledge of farming is limited to books and a drawing board? It will pay you to think about these things when you buy your tractor. Starting and Instruction Service Another "joker" of soma tractor concern, is to chars;, yon a large "start Of and service' fee extra. This is another way of getting a low price for advar- t sing purposes. But yoa can't get th. tractor without paying: this charge. They make it compulsory. The International dealer give yoa this service without oefa'ng you to pay extra for it when yon bay aJTilcn 1 0-20.

Some tractor concerns whose tractors really needfrequentadjuRtmentcnd repairs, furnish nothing but two or three wrenches. They tell you that their prcdurt is so good that it doesn't reed adjustment.

Throttle Governor Some tractors are sold without governors because, perhaps, the designers did not know that on. was needed. Which is the best economy to pay an operator a salary jest to sit on th. tractor and ad. jnst th. fuel to the loei variations when engaged in belt work or let a throttle governor do it with out extra coat? do it automatically, perfectly. The Titan throttle governor saves fuel, prevents grain losses by delivering uniform power to your thresher and lengthens the life of both tractor and driven machines. Von get this governor without extra charge. riyotirlio' Soma tractor builders put a JJIaWUdl hoofc and eve affair on th. tail end of their tractors and call it a drawbar! They seem to have overlooked th. fact that a farm tractor not only pulls plows but also mowers, bay loaders, grain binders, harvester threshers, etc each requiring different hitch ad justm.nt. Perhaps they didn't know about then other machines. Look at th. Titan drawbsr. Not. the oroviaiona fox a wida ranea cA ediust- ment both np and down and sidewise. The Titan drawbar firs every need and it is famished without extra cost. TfTtA(YG. Tha designers of some tractor 1 CilUCiO evidently did not know that the drive wheels throw dirt, dust or mud over the operator and machine unless fenders prevent ft. The Titan 10-20 has such fenders. They are also a "safety first feature. The state of Michigan baa passed a law prohibiting the sale of f.nderlesa tractors. Titan fenders art furnished without the $40 to $50 extra charge made by the "low-price" fn a no f adorers. PlpfforTTl SoaM trmctoT designers apparently never tat In a tractor seat idLlVJl HI tan hours a day or more, jolting over rough fields, so they can't appreciate what a relief it is for the tractor operator to rest himself now and then by standing np, without loss of time. You will appreciate the Titan 10-20 platform that enables yoa to do this. It is a comfort feature furnished regularly with every Titan 10-20 tractor no extra cost. 1 NTERf'ATI O NAL H ARVESTEfl CO M PA NY OF AMERICA 'e.
