Sease Enthusiastic About New Tractor J. Ellerbe Sease, who recently witnessed an official unveiling of the Case “490” at Charlotte, is making great preparations for his own showing of this new tractor at the Case Fjfrm Machinery Com pany on the Cutoff. Highlight of its introduction here will be a grand opening all day and evening Saturday, February 5th. Mr. Sease declares that the Case “400” is the first completely new tractor in the 50-horsepower Class to come out since World War II. It was developed first as a diesel. Then the same super- strong features, such as electric- hardened crankshaft with five main bearings, were built into a gas engine with adaptations for gasoline, LP gas, and distillate^ This is the first gas tractor en gine ever developed on the diesel basis, according to Mr. Sease. He also is particularly enthus iastic about the "Powr-Range” transmission of the Case “400,” With eight forward gear speeds it provides an unbroken range of proper travel speeds from a slow creep to highway transport for every farm job, all with the engine running at or above its strongest pulling speed so its power can be fnlly applied to any task. : Besides the Case “400” tractor, ase Farm Machinery will intro- uce new quickly attached “Eagle Hitch” mounted implements in large sizes to match the capacity '6f the tractor and the new duo- tihhtrol hydraulic system. Visitors > warmly welcome any time, but ate especially invited for the “open house” on Saturday. From William' R. Smith, Sidney. Ohio: I was glad when I ran across The Old Timer column in the Jackson (Kentucky) Times, as I was reminded I am an Old Timer formerly from Kentucky. I was raised at Jackson and as a young man worked on the Lex ington and Eastern Railway as a telegraph lineman. I said “tele graph” lineman, because there were no telephones, and if you were an operator, you would have to talk on the brass keys with your hands, using the Morse Code. I remember the first telegraph operator I ever saw. His name was Ben Wells, at Jackson. Ben was old, couldn’t hear too good, but he read the instnunent by watching it. After Ben was Jinunie Clark, a good morse man. They were having some trouble (in town) when Jimmie was there and it made more work for the opera tor-sending messages to Lexing ton and other newspapers in other cities. The messages were long, and I watched Jimmie Clark sit for hours and send until he would get so tired he would have to hesitate sending to rest his hand and wrist, and at the same time the operator on the other end could rest on his copying ... I am retired now . . . but I have to keep on doing something. I like to dig in the garden, raise fresh vegetables in the summer, and write letters to my good friends and relatives in the winter time. I have oodlins of good friends, no enemies, thank the Lord. (Send eontrlbntlona to this to The Old Timer, Cemmnnitjr Press Serv ice, Frankfort, Kentmeky.)
