THE EsTERLY MACHINES.
The harvesting machinery of George
Esterly 81 Son, of Whitewater, Wis, needs
no eulogium or recommendation from any
one, so well is it known and appreciated,
and when it is stated that the exhibition of
this favorite harvester in motion attracted a
crowd it is the literal truth and nothing
more. They were exhibited by Mr.. G. W.
Mckay, OF 2l9 Washington avenue, Mime
apolis, and the increasing demand for
them in the northwest is their best recon-
meudation.
OF the machines placed in market three
sizes are built, five and a half, six and q
half, and seven and a half foot cut, the lat
ter class being used mainly by the bonanza
farmers Of western Minnesota and Dakota
A demand for lighter weight machine ex-
listing in sections of Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, a machine was built to meet
such wants in the harvest of 'S4. the weight
OF which is only twelve hundred pounds.
Out of those built Mr.. Mckay could get but
one-there being such a demand for them
The few built this year have proven a won
derful success. and the works at Whitewater
will hereafter build largely of this pattern
The one on exhibition at the grounds is at
tracing unusual attention, and proves to
the farming community that a very light har-
yester can be and now is made and success
fully operated. The long and marked sue
cess OF the other Esterly machines is suffi-
cient guarantee of the light weights sue
cess.
The Meadow King mower, which for up
ward of twelve years has been handled BY
Mr.. Mckay, is so well and fayorably known
as to need no particular mention at this time
further than that it is still at the front The
Gregg reaper, placed in the field some FIVE or
six years since, is q comparatively new
candidate for favor, weighing only $50
pounds, constructed mainly of malleable
iron and steel, where cast and wrought iron
are generally used in reapers. The business
of this house has grown with great rapidity,
and their presest quarters being entirely too
cramped, they will probably soon locate in a
large three-story and basement building on
! Third avenue north. The exhibit is GER
tainly complete and creditable one, every
thing being trim and tidy, including a COM
modious tent flying the Esterly banner, IN
der which all are welcomed and made at
home.
W. ~. KIMBALL & co.
The dedartment of musical instruments eft
the exposition building at the state fair
grounds was as usual a place of great attrac-
ton to everybody. The principal exhibitors
in this line we're the well known ". W.
Kimball company, of Chicago. They occu-
pied, as of right they should, the finest posi-
ton in the building, and a larger or better
display has never been made by any one
firm at a Minnesota state fair. It consisted
Of some nine or more of their matehless or
gans and some three or four of the Haliet &
Davis and Emerson pianos.
The display was made from their regular
Owatouna stock and embraced only cats-
logue goods, the duplicates of which can al
ways be had at any of their salesreoms
throughout the country. They were critically
examined by large number Of teachers and
players during the fair and were tested in
every respect. The interior construction.
which embraces more desirable features than
any of its competitors was easily shown
when the back was removed, and any child
of a dozen years can take the Kimball or
gan apart and put it together with ease.
The city of st. Paul can feel proud of the
elegant establishment of this company, at 81
East Third street, which has no equal in the
magnificent display which 1t contains, and
70 know that the ". W. KimbaIl company
has come to St. Paul to stay. julius E.
Young is their special agent at Owatonna,
and carries a fine stock, as shown by the dis
play at the grounds.
W. c. NICHOLAS & SON,
of Cresco, Iowa, had the finest herd of Hol-
stien cattle on exhibition. Then take
second premium on best bull, first on cows,
first and second on yearling heifer, and first
on bull calf. Their farm being FIVE miles
north of Cresco, Howard county, Iowa.
Their stock show signs Of great care.

tablished by the premiums taken at the fairs
