[AT] Some ads from the 4/10 Lancaster Farming

[charliehill]

Interesting Dudley.  Actually there were tons of A's and Super A's around 
here.  I'd say 75 % of tobacco farmers had one.  Some as their only tractor 
and some as their small cultivator tractor.  However,  I don't think I ever 
saw a B or at least don't remember one.  We really didn't have many C's 
around either.  There were some H's and M's but not that many.   Typically a 
guy would have a MF 35 or one of the Ford N models and a Super A.
