piano, for its many first class qualities, the
chief of which are elasticity of touch and
purity, depth and richness of tone, COM
bined with great volume and fine singing
qualities; also perfection of workmanship
and design of case and solidity Of con-

in which it is strung.

The committee on Class No. G5. Divis-

award Of first premium and sjlcet. medal
to the Emerson Parlor Grand Upright Pi-
ano for the superiority of its action and
Eghtness of touch, combined with its clear,
bell-like upper tones and resonance of
lower register; also for beauty and finish
displayed in its general construction.
Marsh Whitney Platform Tscine Binder.
This, the coming grain harvesting ma
chine Of the world, notably attracted the
attention of all classes of people at Ma
chinery hall, as well as agriculturists.
The Marsh brothers, the inventors of the
original elevating harvester, which has
furnished other companies a machine to
which to attach their automatic binders,
now offer to the world harvester which
dispenses with the elevating attachment
entirely.
The operations of this invention are sim
pie, practicable and perfectly reliable, and
all doubt as to the future supremacy of
the platform binder vanishes the moment
one sees it at work.
OPERATION.
When in operation the grain is reeled
down by large reel, easily adjustable by
the driver. is cut by the usual long throw
sickle and falls directly upon the platform
carriers, which consist of four endless
chains with pivot folding teeth, is carried
directly into the packing form, where the
bundle is bound in short order and in
stantly discharged beside the large drive
wheel through the large opening provided.
Its operations are perfect and yet simple,
and it is operated with a degree Of care
and lack of friction which insures its
durability.
ESPECIAL FEATURES.
First-It has no elevator, canvas car
riers Or belts.
Second-The main drive wheel is
much larger than in elevating machines
which gives better traction and enables it
to move over uneven surfaces with ease.
Third. The platform is Of sheet iron, but
durable.
Fourth. It is shorter than any other
machine of the same width of cut, is of less
weight and ligh5 in draft.
Fifth. The drivers seat is so located that
all parts Of the machine are visible and all
his right hand and easily accessible.
Sixth The machine is always perfectly
balanced and has u two or three horse
hitch with line Of draft the same III either
case.
Seventh, All parts OF the machines are
perfect in their mechanism and all shaft
ing of the binder is OF the best OF steel as
well as all keys or pins.
Taking it as a whole, it is not only a new
departure in grain harvesting machinery
which at once commands it to the be
holder as an object Of int crest
but the perfect simplicity Of its details and
the ease and accuracy of its workings are
at once apparent.
The Marsh-Whitney platform twine
binder, as well as the new Marsh harvester
and twine binder, are manufactured by the
Marsh Binder Manufacturing company, OF
Sycamore, Illinois, and are for sale by
their agents everywhere.
