More than Double Emp0r
tanf to Farmers.

Since it has been a compulsion with
some Of our agents here, to publish
their dispatches to sell their Self Bind
ing Haryesters, after a few hours trial,
and the great victories they have
achieved over other Self Binding Har
vesters, tried at long distance from
home, they fail to publish and to notify
tho public of their almost entire failure
at home and about Martinsburg, where
they tried to cut and bind grain last
year | 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 at the same time Yet |
still claim ! have other advantages in
the Osborne Binder which will more
than NJ Ike up the above named advan
tages in other machines. The Osborne
only cuts and biz Dis the grain, lays of
the sheaves nicely and will cut 6, 7 aud
feet vice. which no other Self Bind
irg Harvesters that | know OF can do,
and which ] claim certainly is an ad-
vantage, in saving time An 4 money to
farmer, over narrow cut achi e;
as with a narrow cut machine you are
compelled to drive in hurry, to do
day work, and in case of striking IN
obstruction the strain and break are
fully thribbe TO that of vice cutting
machine, where you can drive slow AS
your horses will walk, if you wish TO,
and still get u large days work done,
while the wear aud tear on your ma
chine and horses will not he half
that Of "a narrow cut machine The
Osborne Self Binding Harvester Now
err and Self Raking RtapeIs ire with
out doubt the cheapest, strongest and
best machines n farmer can buy. They
do the work that is claimed Of them to
perfection and no mistake, and are
fully warrants ted and must, therefore,
fill the warrantee or no sale. lsm nos
"A strong believer il hearsays thai come
so far from home, but rely upon my
own judgment Of machines; but in or
der 70 let you know that the other
agents o not receive all the telegraph
dispatches of the trials and victories
Of heir 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 uarvesters, its system of
binding thoroughly indicated. Com
petitions at large discount.
Ifyou want to get he most for your
money and your grain off in the short
est time, save more grain and in the
best work man-like manner, with the
most ease to yourself and horses, don't
fail t. call on the undersigned before
purchasing elsewhere. Don't delay
your orders too long as have cOnsid
cradle Osborne Binder and Self Rak
ing keapers 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.
