D. M. Osborne.
On the strength of Mr.. Osborne's ex.
periments in Texas we would now say
to all our customers who purchase our
wire binder for the harvest of 1880
that we will undertake to furnish them
with Irvine binder attachment for
the harvest of 1881 at an additional
cost of t,oe7ty dollars each, or we will
exchange the twlne binding attach
ment for the wire binding attachment
without any cost except for freight,
and warrant 1t to vork tcell...
We assume that farmers generally
will be glad to have both attachments
for wire and Irvine binding. The
change from one to the other can be
done in very few minutes by any one
at all familier with that kind of ma.
chinery. 1t is done 10y merely taking
out the wire twister and the switch
frame and inserting in their place the
knot-tyer and another switch frame.
These attachments were both used
i'll Texas on the same machine and
with the most satisfactory results to all
who saw them. and we do not hesitate
a moment in guaranteeing the per.
Torrance of either one or the other on
the same machine. BY having both,
farmers will be enabled to use either
acire or twine for binding as they may
find it for their interest, either in the
price of wire or the Irvine, or in the
convenience of getting either. We do
not believe there will be much differ
ence in the cost of wire or Irvine, al
though our competitors who use Irvine
only will say the Irvine will not cost
more than half as much as wire, but
we believe there will be so little diff.
ference in the cost of the two that it
will really make no difference to far.
mers which they use,
Those who have used our wire bin
ders need not to be told that they are
the most simple and perfect machines
of that kind that have yet been made.
We need only say that our Irvine bin
der is equally as good as the wire, and
we stand ready to guarantee to the
same extent these machines, as we
have, and still do, our wire binders.
We shall make of these Irvine binders
as many as we possibly can for the
harvest of 1880, but it is too late to
make any very large number. We
shall endeavor to get samples to all
our agents who desire them, but can
promise no more for this season-but
will be fully prepared for the harvest
of 1881 to furnish either as may be re.
quired, and also to exchange with
those who purchase our wire binder
for 1880 if they so desire.
(From the Austin, Tex. Statesman, Apr. 29)
A Statesman's reporter had the pleas
ure of witnessing one of the greatest
inventions of this country. yesterday
on F. w. Hennig's farm about twelve
miles north of Austin. It was one of
the D. NJ. Osborne & Company har.
vesters and self.binders, which cut
and bound perfectly green oats with
cord or wire, and performed it's work
with accuracy and dispatch in every
respect. We noticed that in this cord
binder the serious objections which
exist in all other cord binders namely,
the binding of bundle loose is entire
ly overcome in the Osborne machine,
as it binds as tight as can be bound
with wire. Another very important
feature In this machine which gives
it the preference to all other cord bin
ders is that it can be changed from q
cord binder to wire binder in very
short time by simply taking out GER
tain pieces and replacing them by 9TH
ers. This enables all those who have
Osborne wire binders, to attach a
Irvine binder, which the company
Will he able to furnish next year at
the trifling cost of $40. The trial was

will be seen by the certificate be-
