The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1873-06-05


have Just had a circular handed me,
published by the Champion Machine
Co., manufacturers of the Champion
Reaper and Mower, Springfield, Mass,
stating that |, j. G. Binford, of Muir
freesbOro, Tenn, cannot furnish Cham
pion Machines, nor have the right TO
sell the same, and that the man who
buys ofme is liable for damages. l pro-
noumce these statements false, l have
on hand a lot of the Champion Ma
chimes, bought from the Champion Ma
chine Co., which l will sell $40 cheaper
than any agent of said machine in Ten
nessee, or at such prices as l deem nee
essary. l have the right to sell said
property in this or any other State.
have also made my arrangements to get
all the machines of that make can sell,
and would respectfully solicit orders for
the same.
Said Company also states in the same
circular that the Champion has made
clean sweep at this place-that fifty
Champions have been sold in Ruther-
ford to five of all other machines dur
ing the season. Having been an agent
for the Champion Machine for the past
four years, and having sold every
Champion used in Rutherford county, l
pronounce this a LIE. There have new
er been more than 10 or 10 Champions
sold in this county in any one season,
and fifty have not been sold in four
years.
mis- Company also claims that their
machine is the only one in the world
with a wrought iron frame. The john
son Mower, one of which can be seen
in this place, has as good wrought
iron frame as any machine.
The Champion Company wish to
l-npvv how taILyp1 a UpaI. q talk
then the same as / do now. | claimed
to have the best machine that was then
in our maTket-ths Champion. And l
still say the same thing; that is, l hare
the best machine mar IN the market, name
ly, The Superior.
At that time / knew nothing of the
Superior, or l would have been selling
it previous to this year. When l saw
the Superior | was convinced that it
was the machine, and secured the agency
for it, determined that our people
should have the best. A man that can't
say the same thing for the Superior
with a clear conscience don't know
what it takes to constitute machine.
| have 500 for any man that can pro-
duce a machine made of finer metal,
! simpler and better made, easier handled,
! tighter draft, and do better cork than the
! SUPERIOR.
These Points alone Constitute
a Machine.
| As to the certificates gotten up by the
| Champion Machine Company-they are
| simply to break down the reputation of
| the Celebrated Superior. As you viii
! see, the Company also tries to iniure
me. But they have proved themselves
| frauds; therefore their statements are
! not entitled to respectful consideration.
Why does the Champion Machine
! Company make false statements to try
! to break down the Superior? Because
! it is a Southern institution, gotten up
| by Southern men, and has been victO-
| rious wherever brought into Competi-
| ton with the Champion. Who bore the
! highest honors from the Grand Indus
! trial Exposition ut Cincinnati the last
season? The Superior. The Champi-
! on, with all their efforts, never touched
| a ribbon.
Hoping you viii not be preiudiced
| by false statements, but come along and
| get the Notice POloer Superior, manufac-
tured with a Brass Worm Wheel and
Hammered Cast Steel Screw, doing
away with all cog gearing and unnec-
essarY fixtures,
l remain, respectfully,
JOHN G.. BINFORD,
General Agent for Superior Reaping
! and Moving Machines MurfreeSbOrO,
