' SWEEPSTAKES . / . •' /

katisas City Lad Worked Four Years On' His

"'Hudson 24-valve." r

Indianapolis, Ind.. Ipeb. are ago W. W. Brown, ;ty driver, entered a car for the last 0 mile race, known as DuChesneau, io "rail birds" or ,"wiseacres'^] ound tho track kept a weather eye sn for this car. with a Queer nairie several had the hunch that it was

famous speedster masquerading un-or another name. The date of^the ce was near at hand and still the

luChesneau did not take"Its place In :e line of garages.

e afternoon when' Besta, De-, lma, Altken, Rlckenbaeker and the

> kings had been treating the 'an* to a few fast miles a strange car ppeared and word flew around the

•pits that the -DuChesneau from Kan-sas City had arrived. Imagine - the

^surprise of the followers of the speed iSWrfesport when they got close to the car

f|#to And that It was not a -foreign I,,''dark horse" but built by . W. W.

3rown himself and christened for |nls backer. In fact, Brown had been kin such a hurry that he had forgotten

w^io obtain the regulation hood strap. gg^The track officials told "Brownie," as

he prefers to be known, that he could not try out hla mount without that

jy! accessory. The canny westerner scratched his head a moment, con-versed With the officials and then an­nounced that he was able to overcome the lack of the strap. I

Scratching around In the bottom of his tool bag, he produced a length of binder twine, which he used to tie the hood down. Although the drivers and "rail birds" chafed him unmerci­fully, "Brownie" had made good and was accepted as a regular fellow. Everyone was genuinely sorry. when "Brownie" failed to make the quali­fying speed- but he did take his car and "hop it up" as they say to a point where he won money In five out of eight speedway starts later In the season.

This morning his entry arrived for 'the BOO mils Liberty sweepstakes on

May 81, as "Brownie" wants his share of the (50,000. The DuChesneau Is forgotten as the Kansas City lad-1 has worked four winters on plans Tor a new car. This racer is a rebuilt Hudson-Super, which he designates as "Hudson 24-Valve." Brown also has a new backer, C. L. Richards, a Kansas City millionaire sportsman and amateur toad driver. The hew car represents an Investment of $2f,-000 and "Brownie?* Is confident that

"he will not have to hug the pole this year to let the best of his competitors whlsz by. <

WHETHER PLOWING, HARROWING, DRILLING, HARVESTING, THRESHING OR , OTHER FARM WORK, THE WALLIS TRACTOR GIVES TRUE ECONOMY

The average tractor consumes about half of its power to pull itself. It delivers but one-half-of its engine power at the drawbar. • . . ^5:v

The WALLIS consumes only one-fourth its power in self-pulling. It delivers THREE-FOURTHS of its engine poorer at the drawbar J f

; * This is largely due to li&ht weight. The Wallis weighs 1,000 to 5,000 less than tractors of equal belt power rating. The simplified Wallis "U" frame and the special Wallis wheels have cut out much needless weight. Strong, light steel has largely replaced the heavy cast iron of old-time tractors.

- Wallis was first to enclose all gears, including the final drive. Not only does this feature save power, but it is of

^priceless value in protecting the tractor from the ravages of dust, 'sancf'and grit. ,v. v

The Wallis motor and transmission is comparable in workmanship and material only to the finest aeroplane construction. All bearings are Hyatt. All gears are cut and hardened. They run in a bath of clean oil.

Thus the Wallis minimized friction. Ended power waste. Produced an engine that runs with velvet-like smoothness—that keeps cool under farm conditions which would "burn up" the average motor.

You will see the Wallis offers real economy—ability to do a given amount of farm work at least cost of time, fuel and upkeep. 'Its light weight, dust-proof construction and wonderful power make it the ideal tractor for surface work on plowed fields.

If you are a careful buyer and a keen observer, your choice will be a Wallis tractor.

. Why the Walljs is America's foremost tractor is ex­plained in the latest Wallis catalog. A copy will be mailed on request >• ;
