I found a copy of The Rural New Yorker (newspaper) at a barn sale, and I've
put several of the ads up on the web.

What I've scanned in so far:

-Witte engines
"Now-only $14.24 down", "90 days FREE trial", with photo of the "all-fuel"
engine (looks throttle gov to me) and also photo of ED. H. Witte, pres.
Lists 7 "superior points" that make this "the best all-purpose engine built
today"

-Edwards Farm Engine
"Try this engine FREE", "No other engine like it", engraving of engine, and
also drawing of A. Y. Edwards.

-Case steel-wheeled tractor
"Collect Nature's Reward for Timely Work"
 An awesome engraving showing a farmer working a field, pulling a small
grain cutter(?), with house, barn, stormy sky and lightning.  This must have
been an expensive ad, with that engraving work.

Rumely OilPull steel-wheeled tractor
"Is your tractor big enough for its job?"  With engraving of a tractor and
also a "Triple Heat Control" book, and a list of the "five big advantages"
to owning a Rumely.
