[FARM PROGRESS: FORDSON TRACTOR ADVERTISEMENT]

The original catalog description provided by the Ford Motor Company reads as follows: [Part 2] “Poor Brown is still at his plowing.” Man standing by rail fence watching a horse-drawn plow at work, walks to field where two men are talking, one sitting on tractor with another tractor nearby. “‘Boys, I’m afraid poor Brown is going to get his oats in late again this year.’” Man walking behind horse-drawn plow, two dogs follow - the three men talk. “‘Boys, what do you think about helping him finish his field?’” “‘Fine! Let’s go! It won’t take long.’” Two tractors start across field. “‘Well, Brown, we’re caught up on our work and we’ve come over to help you out.’” Tractor pulls plow, horses pull plow. “Brown’s old methods stand out in vivid contrast to the rapid work done by Anderson.” Tractor-drawn plow out-distances horse-drawn plow. “This furrow is made by the Fordson.” Deep, straight furrow. “Here is one of Brown’s handmade furrows.” Shallow, crooked furrow. “Before Brown can get his oats in Anderson’s have sprouted.” “To put more land under cultivation a new field is cleared of stumps.” Tractor pulls stump. “But Brown just plows around his stumps and seems to be satisfied with the result.” Man guides plow around stumps. “‘Don’t neglect your orchard’ -- is Anderson’s slogan.” “To raise a good crop of fruit the orchards must be sprayed. This can be done by the Fordson.” “Next comes corn planting on Anderson’s farm.” Tractor-drawn corn planter. “Brown still plants corn in the old way.” Hand planter. “The potatoes are drilled with the tractor’s aid.” “Brown sticks to the old way.” Man and women hand plant potatoes. “Watch the tractor make hay while the sun shines.” Tractor-drawn mowers. “The tedders shake up the new mown hay to hasten drying.” “Side-raking.” “Loading. These modern implements and the Fordson make Anderson’s boys content.” “In the meantime Brown is working hard.” Hand loading hay on a horse-drawn wagon. “The hay is now stored in the hay-mow.” Tractor hauls wagon into barn - entire load is lifted into mow at one time. “Harvesting grain on Anderson’s farm.” Tractor-drawn harvesters in operation. “A tractor runs the threshing machine.” “The sacked grain is now stored.” “Delayed threshing often results in the grain being spoiled by heavy rains.” “Transplanting celery.” Two men riding on implement behind tractor place celery plants in ground by hand. “Continued cultivation is necessary to keep the weeds down and the ground moist.” Tractor-drawn cultivator in cornfield. “Mr. Anderson makes light work of cutting corn.” “Part Three will follow immediately.” [1924]
