'Royal Cord' • Hobby' 'Chain' 'Useo' 'Plain' Tires You Can Depend On UNITED STATES TIRES are GOOD TIRES. We are proud to be able to sell them in Lynden. The United States line is so complete that we can fill the needs of any automobile owner in such a way as to give him superior service. The men who have had machines for years don't buy new off-brand tires. They have learned it does not pay to experiment with tires—delays on the road and tire worry more than make up for any saving in cash. When you buy a United States tire here, you are paying for quality that has been there for a great many years—you are not doing any exper imenting. You expect to get the mileage you pay for, and you are not disappointed. AN AUTHORIZED BATTERY SHOP This is an authorized Willard Battery shop. That means that we have the equipment to repair and recharge all makes of batteries, and that we have been able to meet the strict requirements that are laid down by the Willard factory to see that the owners of Willard batteries get efficient service. Drive in and let us inspect your battery. Axlund Service Station Corner Third and Front Street There are many Tractors clamoring for the patronage of the farmer. The very air is charged with the noise of claims. One would think that all the farmer had to do was to buy a Tractor and he would enter into the Millennium. Well, consider this fact—there are a great many different makes of Tractors. Tractors have been on the American market for twenty years. In that time some three hundred thousand Trac tors have been sold to the farmers in the United States. The Fordson Tractor has only been on the market two years, and in that time more than one hundred thousand Fordson Tractors have been sold to the farmers of the United States. T\\ o and two make four. Two and two always will make four. If the Fordson Tractor had not delivered more good work, more satisfactory work, more economical work, than any other farm Tractor, it would not have sold in the ratio of anywhere from five and more to one. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." The proof of the superior merits of the Fordson Tractor is in its larger sale and use. The Fordson Tractor then asks you to buy it because of what it has done for your neighbors. It asks you to buy it on its merits. It asks you to buy it, Mr. Farmer, because you have use for it every day in the year. All the uses for the Fordson Tractor have not yet been uncovered because new places where machine power can replace well human power, where machine power can supplant horse and mule-power, are being found every week, and wherever such discovery occurs, the Ford son Tractor will fill the bill more satisfactorily than any other form of power. The Fordson is simple in design, and it is very strongly made of the highest quality of iron and steel It is the product of the greatest mechanical genius the world has ever known, and it is most economical in first cost and after expense. The Fordson Tractor on your farm will increase the val ue of every foot of ground in that farm. It will put more dollars and cents into every hour you put into the farm. , , , m r PHONE MAIN 11 F^ordson. G. W. ROBERTSON THE LYNDEN TRIBUNE, LYNDEN, WASH frit RSDAY.
