.Who Makes the Most Profit? The rancher with a scale, who knows the weights of his stock and the market prices, and who bases his selling price on that knowledge— Or the rancher who tries to OUTGUESS the shrewd buyer who makes a life work and a good living at that business? We believe the rancher owning the scale has the advantage, and, therefore, we think each ranch should have a McDonald Pitless Scale BECAUSE—A McDonald is the best scale made on top of the earth, and being PITLESS it requires $40 to $50 less material and labor to set than standard pit scales. The first cost is the last cost when you buy a McDonald, and the saving to a rancher that sells or buys will pay for the scale in six months. A 10 -Year Guaranty Protects You!
