present you with this statement as evidence of
our high appreciation of the value Of the Ar

since its introduction, having found no other
Tie that compare with 1t in utility. durabili-
ty and strength, and from our own experience
we can safely recommend it to planters as the
BEST TIE we have seen.
Pressing from five to seven hundred bales per
day, when running full time, we find it to our
interest to purchase the ARROW BUCKLE from
you for the purpose OF replacing any other
buckle that may be on the bale, taking the
others off and throwing them in the scrap pile
