make just three claims for Emerpon Foot Lift
1st. THEY ARE THE EASIEST HANDLED
2d. THEY ARE THE LICHTEST DRAFT
3d. THEY ARE THE MOST DURABLE
First. E&siest Handled. WHY?
Becatfse the Foot Levers are so constructed that a child
can handle the plow with the feet, leaving the hands
'•?£, free to manage the team.
Second. Lightest Draft. WHY? A.'
Because of the 2000-mile Magazine Axles forming a

high wheels which must carry the load, and the com-
pact construction bringing the load nearerthe team and
mainly on the two largest wheels,
Third. Most Durable. WHY? ..lu...
Because of the Magazine Axles being virtually in

and lender perfect control, when others are wabbling all
over the field one piece frame with land axle attached to
both sides, not to one side only, bails hitched close up
