MOSELEY What Are You Losing? DECAUSE you have not yet bought a tractor, we think you must have oeen doing a little quiet figuring to see just what you are losing in time, labor and money by not having a tractor especially Ipuilt to operate on low-priced, low-grade fuels. Remember that the Titan 10-20 Tractor is designed and built with " but one purpose in view ? delivering its full rated horse power and doing good serviceable drawbar and belt work at all loads within its capacity, on kerosene or any oil fuel down to 39 degrees Baume. "N You know what kerosene costs compared to gasoline. The difference in the present prices of these fuels represents a saving of from, fifty to sixty per cent in the cost of fuel to a Titan owner. What higher recommendation can a tractor have than demonstrated ability to deliver afc^ll times, in all seasons, lov/-cost, dependable power at draw bar and belt? You know the Titan does that. You know why it does. Let us remind you again that Titan tractors are wortK owning and that you cannot place your order too soon. SPRINGS & SHANNON CAMDEN, S. C.
