THE RENOWNED
'Esterly Irvine Binding Harvester.

Having learned through various sources
that several of the Manufacturers of Self
Binding Harvesters are industriously circu-
lating a report TO the effect that they had
bought the right 10 make and use patents of
Geo Esterly 4 Son in the construction of
their machines, which they propose to offer to
the farmers the coming season, have thought
it proper to publish the following Circular
received from Messrs. George Esterly & Son,
which speaks boldly, plainly and strongly to
the point, and am sure / need add nothing
TO expose the deception, Il may say fraud,
which is intended 10 be practiced on the farm
er, by representing that they are using the
Esterly patented improvements. They ac-
knowledge the superiority Of these improve
ments in the Es,erly by seeking to palm off
their less valuable machines, by claiming that
they have right to use the Esterly patents.
| deny the truth Of the statement and pro-
nounce it false, no matter by whom, or to
whom uttered, and in verfcation of the above
statement call attention to the following Cir
cular OF December 5, 1889. Let no farmer
be deceived BY the false statements made to
him, but If he wants to use the Estery pat
ents in reaping and binding his wheat, buy
he Simon-pure Esterly Light-Draft Self-Bind-
ing Harvester, built by Messrs. George Ester
ly Son, of Whitewater, Wisconsin, viii CHI
can be bought OF me, as their authorized Gen.
eral Agent, as cheaply and on as accommo-
dating terms as any machine made and sold
in the United States. You will then oe able
to get extras and repairs when wanted close
at hand, and competent, trained and skilled
men TO put them on If needed.

OFFICE OF GEoRGE EsrERLY & Son.
Whitewater, Wis, Dec. 8, 1882.
To our Agents and others whom it may
concern:
DEAR SIRs: We are in receipt of informa-
lion that seems to be reliable, as 1t comes 10
US from all parts Of the country and through
different channels, TO the effect that d. N.
Osborne 4 Co., OF Auburn, New York, are
industriously advertising through their agents
and travellers, that they have Bought us
OUT or "bought license" from us, and that
they contemplate manufacturing the Esterly
Binder for 1888, etc.
While the fact of their thus advertising may
be and is highly complimentary to the I'M
precedented success of the "Esterly," we
deem il proper for us 10 say we have not sold
out to D. NJ. Osborne h Co +, that we have not
neither do we intend to grant license 10 D.
NJ. Osborne Co., or 10 any other party
whatsoever, to manufacture the Esterly Bind
err in the United States.
II is true that ID. NJ. Osborne 4 Co., have
solicited patterns Of our Binder and the right
10 build them, both Of which have been en-
phatically refused under any and all circum-
stances whatsoever.
1t is also true that In our correspondence,
D. M. Osborne paid the Esterly some we'll
meri'ed compliments, all Of which we fully
appreciate, but the improvements have been
made for our own use and benefit and that of
our Agents and customers emily.
And we hereby give notice that we shall
hold all parties Infringing our rights strictly
responsible whether they either 'manufac-
ture, u ''sell'' or "use" Harvesters and Bind
srs containing any Of our numerous patented
Improvements.
Yours truly, GEO. ESTERLY 4 SON.
