Description
Three color 7 3/4″ x 11″ ad for the Pioneer “400” Chain Saw. The ad calls it the “New lightweight Pioneer Chain Saw” handles any farm wood-cutting job!” and has a drawing of what it looks like. There are three pictures of a man working away with this unit. In the first one he is cutting a 4″ fence post down to size, in the second one he is trimming a tree branch and in the third one he is cutting branches to size. The ad text says that “The rugged all-new PIONEER “400” makes quick work of a thousand tough farm and wool lot cutting jobs. Most versatile chain saw you can own, it cuts firewood, fence posts, brush, dock stakes. Trims and limbs orchard or ornamental trees with almost unbelievable ease. Here at last is a lightweight chain saw that really makes sense. Weighs only twenty pounds, shaped and balanced to handle more easily, with complete control. Yet the new “400” packs enough lugging power to double as a production chain saw for profit-minded farmer-loggers who harvest annual tree crops. Seeing is believing. Come on in and prove to yourself how this powerful new all-purpose chain saw will meet your needs”.
