ATTENTION. 8 " BaASDEAU.


In the Lexington Register Of May Sd you pre-
our own business. To the first question. Ills the
reduction Of prices really on account of the
sympathy you have with the fArmers2" We
answer that we have sympathy with the farmers
who have stood byus for many years. When .
farmers should have the benefits. aud not tho
agents. You know u red uctiOn has occurred.
Again. you intimate that we lear the COMPETE
ton of the Deering Binder. We fear no suoA
Thing. We have dealt in Binders ever since they
were introduced here. We now feel qualified to
determine the best; hence we have selected the
minneapolis" aad buckeye Binders, know
ing them To be the very best. We have handled
several Of the different Binders that have been
in the market and have sold more than any two
houses In the county. We try to conduct our
business in sucT u way as to do Justice to all 50
that We can meet orr customers with pleasure,
not lodging them, as we learn book pedilers
have done.
AS to crops, the prospects are much better
now. than two weeks ago. and We wish It was
better than 1t is. Yet, IT 10 no better than IL was
II this time two years ago. in this vicinity. We
have In a square manner your imper-
tinent questions, as to our business. W. again
say. we do not fear the competition of the
''neering." which was SO often beaten in Field
Trials In Western Missouri. and so often lodged
or refused the contest.
The following to Mr.. 10. Hook, at Lexington
explains itself:
The time price on 81 foot binders is $40 cash;
September lst, $3.50 cash: June lst. 1928; on the
81 feet Minneapolis we hold $40 higher.
