Because there's no tractor ahead running down
standing grain on the opening cut, you'll save a
half-bushel of grain per acre with a Massey
Harris Self-Propelled Combine. And you can do
the work of 2!6 men. With controls at your finger
tips, you pilot the Combine like driving an auto
mobile ... a great feeling of independence when
you handle your harvest alone. With no tractor
power required, you save fuel and motor main
tenance—you can figure on saving V2 gallon of
fuel per acre. And because you can work faster
and easier wl.h a Massey-Harris Self-Propelled,
you'll finish your harvest sooner with more time
tor other farm jobs. Remember, too, you can un
