least, rather queer.
Upon investigating what do we findY
We find this: That where we had taken
orders for the Mccormick machines on
Mccormick blanks, at McCormick's ex-
pense, they had changed them over to
Buckeye orders, givingas a reason for so do
ing that they could buy Buckeyes for less,
consequently sell for less. And more, we
found every man in their employ working
in favor OF the Buckeye, not because il
was a better machine, but for the follow

they have transferred the agency of theil
machines from Williams & Harris
horn to James A. Chaplin. The
reason is obvious: The Mccormick and
Buckeye Binders have been on exhibition
standing side by side, through the entire
season, and farmers after IA careful inspec.

bly, gived their orders for Buckeyes. II
would seem that they cannot bear the con
trast, hence the change.
WILLIAMS & HARTsHoRN.
Replying to the above card we would say
that through respect to Messrs. Williams &
Hartshorn we did not give the public our
reasons for taking our goods out of their
hands. But now, as they have forced us
to do so, We will place the matter before
you and we know you will uphold us as
does every man who is familiar with the
circumstances
Mr.. Williams has been our agent for
years, and it is unnecessary to say here
that he has always stood by our goods and
declared them (as they are today the best
in the world and he as our agent has given
perfect satisfaction. After taking in Mr..
Buckeye Hartshorn as partner, we were
assured by both that they would sell as
many of our full line as of the others and
the Mccormick Binders they would push
to the front as they knew il was a success
and had a good record, while the Buckeye
they knew nothing about AS it had never
been tried and was an experiment, and the
Buckeye last year was a complete failure.
And the general agent was then carrying
in his pocket a photograph of still another
that they proposed to build next year.
Certainly they looked at il in the right
light. To satisfy the Buckeye Company
and themselves they would put M two or
perhaps three Buckeye experiments and
the balance successful McCormick's. AL
though the best business men of Owosso
assured us our goods would stand no show
whatever in their hands, still we had so
much confidence in the pledges of the firm
that we let them go on and sent men here
at our expense and took orders for McCor-
mick goods and they expressed themselves
more than pleased with the help and start
we v them. What Is the result? The
day of their delivery of implements, May
Goth, according to their own statement,
some 90 or 25 Mccormick machines should
be delivered. Our men were there to
assist in loading them. You well know
the display they made and in that display,
which according to their pledges and the
orders we had taken should have been one
half made up by Mccormick machines,
while there was merely two G) McCor-
mick Mowers and no Binders, notwith-
standing they had taken a good number of
orders.
