Description
Black and white 7 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad for their Plowshares. There is a drawing of a man who has squatted down and turned to face the reader as he points to his Oliver Plowshare to call attention to its condition. The headline claims that “Here’s a plowshare you never have to resharpen!” and the text clarifies the matter by explaining that it has replaceable blades. A replacement Raydex blade had a cost of less than a blacksmith resharpened blade and, with the better construction of the Raydex blades, the need to resharpen or replace is usually longer. It talks about how just switching the blade is quicker than driving to town and waiting for the blacksmith to finish your job.
