NOTICE.
More than Double ImpOr-
famt TO Farmers.

Since it has been compulsion with
some of our agents here, to publish
their dispatches to sell their Self Bind
ing Harvesters, after few hours trial,
and the great victories they have
achieved over other Self Binding Har
yesters, tried at long distance from
home, they fail to publish and TO notify
the public of their almost entire failure
at home and about Martinsburg, where
they tried to cut and bind grain last
year. l admit that most all Self Bind
ing Harvesters which | have seen here
this season. have one marked advan-
tage over the Osborne Self Binding
Harvester, which | represent. and that
is they will partly cut, partly thrash
and partly bind the grain in the field,
and do all ut the same time Yet
still claim ! have other advantages in
the Osborne Binder which will more
than make up the above named advan.
tages in other machines. The Osborne
only cuts and binds the grain, lays off
the sheaves nicely and will cut 6, Z and
8 feet wide, which no other Self Bind
ing Harvesters that | know OF can do,
and which l claim certainly is an ad-
vantage, in saving time and money to
a farmer, over n narrow cut MACH @;
as with u narrow cut machine you are
compelled to drive in a hurry, TO do
days work, and in case of striking an
obstruction the strain and break are
fully thribble to that of wide cutting
machine, where you can drive slow as
your horses will walk, if you wish to,
and still get large days work done,
while the wear and tear on your ma
chine and horses, will not be half
that Of q narrow cut mschine. The
Osborne Self Binding Harvester, Now
er and Self Raking Reapers are with
out doubt. the cheapest, strongest and
best machines a farmer can buy. They
do the work that is claimed of them to
perfection and no mistake, and are
fully warranted and must, therefore,
fill the warranted or no sale. / am not
a strong believer in hearsays that come
so far from home, but rely upon my
own judgment of machines; bur in or
der 10 let you know that the other
agents o not receive all the telegraph
dispatches of the trials and victories
of their machines, / will here also
publish one of my many dispatches
received.this season:
NASHVILLE, Tenn,
May 18th, 1882.
After two days thorough trial the
Osborne wins over the Deering, Wood,
Mccormick, Buckeye and st. Paul
Self Binding Harvesters, its system of
binding thoroughly vindicated. Com
petitions at large discount.
If you want to get the most for your
money and your grain off in the short
est time, save more grain and in the
best workman-like manner, with the
most ease to yourself and horses, don't
fail to call on the unde signed before
purchasing elsewhere. Don't delay
your orders too long as / have consid
cradle Osborne Binders and Self Rak
ing Reapers to set up, which | desire
to complete before cutting time, so |
can have time to put them up well and
complete, which is much to the far.
