7-Foot Quick-Attachable Mower for the Farmall 12
Burns the Cheapest Grade of Fuel Oil
FORMERLY   $736.50   COMPLETE
Now Only $662 Complete
It takes 1% to 2 minutes to attach the mower to the
Farmall 12, and about a minute to take it off.
This Quick-Attachable feature "makes the Farm-
all 12 almost instantly available for the different haying jobs. A minute to drop the mower, and the tractor is ready to pull the tedder or loader.
The mower bar of the new Quick-Attachable
Farmall mower is the same type of high-grade bar
used on all Farmall mowers. The mower is so designed that if the bar strikes an obstruction, it lets
loose and springs back without damage. It takes only
a moment to re-hitch and go right ahead. There is
also a sKp-cluteh on the power take-off.
Remember, all Farmall 12 tractors now in service can be readily equipped to use this new Quick-
Attachable mower.  Ask us about it.

The territory served by The Detroit
Edison Company has for several
years been divided into areas called
"Districts." These district areas
grow slowly by accretion and tended
toward unbalance as to size and
shape. County lines seem now to
be the best method of division and
the districts are now being realigned.
The changes in personnel for the

NEW HIGHWAY MAP
The August edition of the official
Michigan highway map came off the
press last week and is ready for immediate distribution.
Except for corrections in trunkline
mileage, the map is identical with
the previous summer edition published May 15. Trunkline changes were
made not only in view of new construction since the last edition of
the map but also to incorporate new
determinations and cancellations in
mileage authorized several weeks ago
by the highway advisory and state
administrative boards.
The accordian fold, first used last
year, is again a feature of the new
edition along with mileage tables,
a population table of principal cities
and towns, routings of principal
county roads, a state park table, an
enlarged map of the metropolitan
area, and scenic views of- Michigan.
It is said that 150,000 copies of the
official map have been distributed to
date this year. They are available
to the public at no charge. Copies
may be received by writing the commissioner at Lansing.
