KEROSENE TRACTORS
For Those Who Need
X Big Power *
A BOVE is pictured a large Case Kerosene
VA Tractor, die 20-40. This big fellow
"*■ ^ pulls a 5 to 6 furrow gang plow, de-
pending on field and soil conditions.
It operates threshers such as the Case 28x50
or 32x54, fully equipped. For either draw-bar or
belt work this powerful tractor meets your heavy
duty requirements. Everything that stands for
simplicity, sturdiness, durability, economy and
practicability is found in this splendid machine.
OUR INTEREST DOESN’T CEASE WHEN
THE GOODS LEAVE OUR
STORE
We are just as much interested as you are in
good work by the implements that
you buy from us.
When you come into our store to buy an implement you
are mainly interested in getting a good bargain. And we are
mainly interested in giving you a good bargain.
As we seeit, there isn’t a particle of difference between
a good bargain for you and a good sale for us. They mean
exactly the same thing.
If the implement you buy gives you full satisfaction in
actual work, you have made a good bargain and we have
made a good sale. No matter what you buy of us, we are
concerned in its giving satisfaction.
We live here among you. We do business over and over
with the same people. We know thtat we can’t make future
sales by selling unreliable goods, but that the extent of our
patronage depends upon the satisfaction given by each and
all of the implements we sell.
I
To help us carry out this policy of our, we handle only
high-grade implements and machinery that have a reputa-
tion for satisfactory service in the hands of the farmer.
Our interest follows these implements and machines
into the field and, if for any reason they fail to work prop-
erly, we take steps to find and remedy the trouble.
Our business is founded on confidence—and service.
Make our store your headquarters when in town.
We have a good supply of all kinds of Garden
Tools, Extra Handles, etc.
Ask us for Devoe Paints and Varnishes.
■t __
Our sales are splendid on Reliable and Ameri-
can Beauty Flour.

Biscuits and Cakes and Pastry.
The Reliable flour is the best bread flour that
ever came to Clifton.
Another car load of syrups just unloaded, in-
cluding Karo, Mary Jane, Lassies, Farmer Jones,

A fine supply of razors, pocket knives, scis-
sors, razor straps, sharpeners, etc.

We wish to show you the 10-18 Case tractors

adrfiire its strength, symmetry, and its very prac-
tical features.
The Mitchell and Bain Wagons are always in

THE VICTORY LOAN
DRIVE IS overt
“The Victory Loan drive is over
but we still have a chance to share in
1 the Victory,” Chas. W. Clarkson, Vic-
tory Loan Chairman for Bosque Coun-
ty, said today. “The Treasury De-
partment is urging that holders of
Second Liberty Bonds exchange the
interest they get May 15th for Thrift
' and War Savings Stamps. This
amounts to $1,582,827.50 in the Elev-
enth Reserve District alone. Many
persons in this county wanted to buy
Victory Bonds but were not financial-
ly able to do so. They can share in
tne Victory by investing in War Sav-
ings Stamps. The “V” in War Sav-
ings Stamps also stands for patriot-
ism.
“Liberty Loan interest coupons may
be exchanged for Thrift or War Sav-
ings stamps at any postoffice, bank or
authorized sales age rev The smsd
