Breaking the Law Most Farmers know something about engineering. It is a law of mechanics that every time power is passed through a bevel gearing, a good percentage of it is lost, so that it is possible to so arrange the shafting between your Engine and your final driving pulley as to have very little power left. The more hands your money goes through before it reaches the source of supply, the more of its purchasing power it loses. It’s common-sense, isn’t it? If direct drive for an Engine saves power, doesn’t direct buying save money? Of course it does. That’s why over 30,000 New Zealand farmers, some of them right down in Southland, use our direct factory-to-farm plan. They pay no double profits. Why should you? For instance the best denims cost them 2/II from us. What do you pay ? Our BIG General Catalogue of Grocery, Hardware, Implements, Buggies, Drapery, Boots, Saddlery, Furniture, etc., is Free.
