name "MASSEy-HARRIS"
has become synonymous for all that is best in farm implements
the world over. It has set the standard of quality
by which all implements are judged.
This unique position is the outcome of steady
growth and a rich experience over a period of
eighty years.
From very small beginnings the Company
has grown until now it is the largest makers of
Farm Implements in the British Empire. Its
activities spread to almost every' country in the
world, and wherever grain or other crops are
~rown Massey-Harris Implements will be found
in use.
This steady growth has beep due entirely to
the high quality of the machines bearing the
name "MASSEy-HARRIS"
and the long service and
satisfaction they have given to users.
The Company has also earned a world-wide
reputation for fair dealing with its customers,
and ltS service, both in connection with machines
in the field and the supplying of repair parts is
unexcelled.

,.
Its line of machines and implements is also
replete with almost everything that is used on
the farm from scufflers and walking plows to
tractors and reaper-threshers.
The passion, and passion it may well be termed,
that surged through the hearts and minds of the
founders and men responsible for the conduct
of the business in earlier days, for turning out
machines of such a quality as brought worldwide acceptance of them and demand for them,
still rules the policies of Massey-Harris today.
Never before was such skill employed in the
designing and developing of machines for the
farm. The factories today are equipp~d with
the latest and most up-to-date machinery for the
production of farm implements, and these factories are manned by men of training and experience, a great many with a life-experience in the
making of Massey-Harris Implements.
It is with great confidence, therefore, -that the
Company offers its present line of implements
and machines to the farmers of the world, believing that they are not only up to the usual
Massey-Harris standard but just a little better
than ever.

One of the greatest contributing
factors in the success with which
Massey-Harris Company has met is
undoubtedly the thorough, and efficient service it renders to its customers.
BRANDON
It has never been content simply
to' make and sell machines, no matter
how good they may have been, and
leave the customer to his own devices to get the most from them and
keep them in repair.
Always, has it had a strong organization
throughout
the land,
which has followed the machines
into the field, seen to it that they
were properly set-up and has at all
times been prepared to render helpful assistance.
Spare parts for every machine,
no matter how long ago it may have
been made, and whether or not it is
now considered obsolete, are kept
on hand at branch offices, warehouses and local agencies in every
part of the country.
SWIFT CURRENT
'f)
~,
The illustrations on these pages
show the branch houses throughout
Canada; these are supplemented with
warehouses in other large centres
and in almost every town or village
there is a local Massey-Harris Agent.
The Company reaches out to every
farmer and every farmer has easy
and direct access to the Company
t,.hrough its own agents.
There is no divided responsibility
in the selling of Massey-Harris
Implements. Every machine is sold
direct to the farmer by the Company
through its own Local Agent.
This net-work of service stations
throughout
the country enables
Massey-Harris to render a service
that is invaluable to its farmer
customers.
The service rendered is second to
none, and is a matter of company
pride, jealously guarded by all on
whom it depends.

Massey-Harris New National No.8 is a very strongly made
Gang Plow, especially adapted for sod and stiff clay lands.
The frame is of channel steel, well braced, and the plow is
exceptionally light and easily handled.
If romng coulters
are desired, the design allows ample room for them to be
placed where they do most effective work. The standards
are 1 in. higher, giving more clearance. Wheels have removable hubs and screw grease caps by means of which
grease can be forced to every part of the bearing. Perfect
lubrication is thus secured and all dust is excluded.
Special attention is drawn to the new style Mouldboard
which turns over and packs better.
It will turn 8, 8;!1 or
10 in. furrows perfectly and without doubt is the lightest
draft two furrow plow on the market to-day.
The New No.8 is fitted with a third lever (for widening
furrow wheel and keeping furrow straight),
knife coulters
(rolling coulters as shown in illustration,
extra), two extra
cast shares and wrench, unless otherwise ordered.

In the Massey-Harris New Great West the farmer of Western Canada is given a
plow that has been experimented with and tested under the most severe conditions.
It has been brought to a high point of perfection and will be found to meet the requirements of Western Canada better than other makes.
Beams Dropped for Correct Draft
,.
The beams are dropped well down for easiest
draft and are strongly braced. The draw bar is
a heavy angle iron securely bolted and rivetted.
Both vertical and evener clevis are all-forged
steel. They are adjustable and swing either way.
Equal Traction
on All Wheels
The wheels, being placed exactly the right distance apart, give perfect balance.
This gives
positive assurance of equal pressure on all wheels.
The rear wheel acts like
the rudder on a boat.
It
can [be set so as to relieve
the landside of all friction.
The friction becomes "rolling" rather than "sliding"
thus lightening the draft and
saving landside wear.
Strongest
Wheels
Any Plow
ordinarily found on plows, make the strongest
wheel put on any plow. The spokes, which are
staggered for greater strength, are securely held
at the hub and the outer end is rivetted into the
tire. Hub boxes are extra long. The land axle
is reinforced at the corner with malleable elbow
and has a cushion spring.
Furrow Axle Adjustable
Long Wearing
Rolling Coulter
The rolling coulter is supported by two extra large
cone collars which revolve in
hardened cups.
The cones
may be taken up to provide
for wear-thus
true running
is always assured.

half oval steel and the large
round steel spokes, of which

A Combination
Clod Crusher, Roller, Pulverizer and Packer
That Saves Time and Labor and Increases Production
,
The Machine consists of two gangs, each of which is made up of a number of wheels
that are so shaped that their faces form alternating series of sharp ridges and cupshaped depressions. The ridges cut down into the soil splitting all lumps with which
they come in contact and pack out the open spaces. At the same time, because of the
cup-shaped depressions, the surface is left in little ridges of loose mellow earth which
form a mulch blanket and retard soil blowing. The result is the lumps to a depth of
five or six inches are thoroughly crushed, the soil beneath is firmed down, the surface
is placed in excellent condition to receive and conserve moisture, and an ideal seed bed
with that continuous connection with the subsoil so necessary to the promotion and
sustenance of plant life, is obtained.
Can Be Used to Advantage Mter Seeding
After seeding, and especially if grain is sown, should the ground become dry and
baked the pulverizer may again be used to good advantage.
It will pack loose earth
about the seed firmly and increase the moisture holding qualities. Then, too, in the
spring when the frost has heaved and opened up the soil around the roots of the plants
it is especially valuable. Used in the field at that time it closes up the cracks, loosens
the crusted surface, tucks the soil about the roots as though they were being transplanted and restores the whole acreage to a good growing condition.
Simply Constructed-No
Fine Adjustments
Necessary
And there is nothing to get out of order. All there is to the machine is an angle
steel frame, two end standards, the wheels, an axle, a seat and a pole--nothing which
will easily wear out or break, and nothing which needs fine adjusting. You can' hitch
high or low, long or short, it will always run and do the work for which it is intended.

Harvests All Conditions of Crop
The work of the Massey-Harris Binder has established for this machine among the
grain growers of the world the reputation of being the best binder for all conditions
of crops. In fact, it might be said that farmers would concede a crop hopeless if it
could not be harvested by a Massey-Harris and time after time the Massey-Harris
has successfully harvested crops in which other binders failed and has been the means
of saving crops that would have been lost.
.
Costs Less for Repairs
That the Massey-Harris is such an efficient and dependable harvester suggests that
it must be well made in every way. Having a stronger frame than any other, and the
strongest table construction, the Massey-Harris Binder maintains its alignment season
after season and the value of this is evident to the owner in the comparative low upkeep
cost and the freedom from making extensive repairs. Even to the binder canvas-there
is no binder canvas as strong nor as durable as that put on the Massey-Harris Binder.
Saves Money by Using Less Twine
The compressor being separate from the weight trip which operates the binding mechanism always
assures the Massey-Harris tying the sheaf as tightly as it is compressed, saving on the average about
lYz inches of twine on every sheaf. This saving, year after year during the lifetime of the binder,
counts up to mean something worth while.
Is Light in Draft
The strength of the Massey-Harris Binder makes it light in draft, by holding the alignment of the
working parts not only for the first year but for many seasons after. The Massey-Harris Binder Frame
and table do not spring out of shape during the first two or three harvests, consequently the draft is
kept at a minimum. Also the Massey-Harris has more roller bearings than other binders and these
play their part in making the Massey-Harris a light and easy running binder.
