Thanks for sharing the photos! Certainly some great machines. Just the fact that the ads were even in this magazine is remarkable.

Cool ads!

Very cool.

The days when a tractor like that cost alot of money and people had to save for months or years to get one. A lot has changed with the amount of disposable income we have now and what we do with it.

I had to laugh at the Allis ad with the dude in his "tweed" jacket, and the Bolens ad for party crasher with a dude wearing a suit crashing a lawn party on his tractor. When I head over to my neighbors on my tractor with a couple beers..I never dress that well!!!

Neat to see the advertising trends from way back.

My eyes can't read the fine print ant the adds won't enlarge. Don

On my phone I was able to zoom in and read the print. I can't read them now that I am on a computer though.

If you save them and open them in windows photo viewer, you can zoom in enough to see the print.

Let's try these..... I saved them at the highest resolution. Let's see how they add here..... (inserting the full image.)

Gotta laugh at some of the "sales" phrase's" they used...

Bolens Huskey, "with a fast switch attachment system"..

Gravely.."powers 31 tools in all".

Cub Cadet.."you ride relaxed with lots of leg room"...

Wheel Horse.."you clip swaths a yardstick wide".

Spingfield...."Nationwide service if ever needed".

Allis Chalmers... "only proper way for a real gentleman to care for his lawn".

These work perfect and are very easy to read, Thank you. I appreciate the extra effort. I have to wonder if this new format is readable on a phone, can't check as my cell phone doesn't work at my home. Don

Works well with a phone.

Don, if you hold the ctrl key in and use the mouse scroll wheel you can zoom in. It makes reading text easier on the eyes. LOL, I habe to do it most of the time.
