[AT] Some ads from the 7/29 Lancaster Farming

[Larry D. Goss]

:-)  There are probably thousands of those out there.

I got a kick out of the last illustration in the book showing using a
manure loader ("front end loader" was not any anyone's dictionary yet)
to haul fence posts.  I'm not sure I would want to haul a load that
large (around 20 posts) on a loader with a trip bucket.

HuMM:

It just so happens I have one of those next to my Lazy Boy. A friend of 
mine found two of then when his mother in law died.

28th edition just like yours. It is a small world.
