This ad was carefully removed from a 1967 issue of a popular construction industry magazine. Page size is approximately 8-1/4” wide x 11” high, and 16-1/2” 2-pages wide for perfect side-by-side display or framing. DESCRIPTION: ”NEW FROM THE PIONEER OF EXCAVATOR HYDRAULIC CONTROLS ... THE IDEAL 1-1/2 YARD HYDRAULIC HOE. The new LS-5000 is the most powerful 1-1/2 yard hydraulic hoe in the industry.” Note: Our construction company bought an LS-5000 in 1972, and it was truly an exceptionally good machine! Nicely illustrated with an outstanding full-page color illustration of the LS-5000. CONDITION: This outstanding LINK-BELT magazine advertisement is in near-perfect condition. Printed on excellent quality low gloss paper, much better than many magazines of this era. The only imperfection that I can see, is that the paper has yellowed some from 41 years of age ... otherwise it is very close to ‘perfect’ ... almost as good as the day it was printed. Excellent color illustration, extremely clean, no tears or marks, excellent edges, no mildew or water damage, and has been in excellent dry storage for many years.
