WEAVER SON, The Leaders, Gettysburg, Penn'a, A I When we deliver a Cletrac we know that the owner is go- ins; to come back to us and tell us that his tractor does more andbetier work than he expected of it. The Cletrac goes over soft ground because it travels on its own endless tracks which it picks up and lays down as it goes along, like the great "tanks" which accomplished almost unbelievable feats on the battlefields in France. The Cletrac Tractor "does more than does ALL the seed-bed work because it is the tractor that operates successfully over plowed ground. Cletrac Tractor helps the farmer to pay greater dividends on his already acquired automotive knowledge, it means greater production with less labor, it takes the ace of both man and beast, it doesn't eat when it isn't working, it needs no rest, it works faster, it works better, it works more, it means more crops at lower cost, ii makes money for its owner We will gladly arrange a demonstration with you and show you what a wonderful designed tractor, the Cletrac is.
