THE DEMOCRAT-VOICE, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1925._Page 9
This is the season of the year when the farmer should be thinking about the eco-
nomical operation of his farm. The farmer who is to keep his farm cultivated in proper
shape must be equipped with the proper machinery, to do it economically. If he or his
wife is to raise chickens, why not be equipped with an incubator? A modern farm kitch-
en not only lightens the labors of the housewife but makes life more worth living.
The Gray Mercantile Company is prepared to furnish the farmer with the con-
veniences jfs well as the necessities—we keep abreast of the times, and are prepared to
fill your every want.

we realize. 1 have never appreciated

Comanche Indian.
Dick McMahan had suffered some
twenty year* from the effects of
eh conic appendicitis—unable th past
two years to do a good days work. He

plowing and doing all necessary farm
Work. But in obedience to direction*
from Dr. Allison, he avoids heavy lift
ing. My Heart overflow* with grati-
tude to every Doctor and nurse for
the rest, ration of my boy to normal
health. I think Coleman shelters
more warm-hearted, sympathetic men
and women than any town lj
knew.

should remember this when he comes to
buy a planter. For a Mr. Bill will pay
for itself the first season. And every year
after that will mean added profits.
Mr.Billisthe “daddy” of all riding com

it is today the acknowledged leader. It is
so simple that anyone can run it; and so
durable that hundreds of Ivlr. Bills 17 or
18 years old are still doing their bit. In
fitting Avery Single Seed Hoppers on Mr.
Bill Planters we have found some over 15
years old that are doing good work today.
For planting cotton, com, peanuts
(shelled or unshelled), velvet beans,
maize, Kafir, peas, etc., no other planter
approaches the Mr. Bill. It can be used
at any time with many kinds of attach-

a large variety of sweeps and plates.
