THE BUCKEYE THE BOSS
The thousands of farmers in attendance yes
terday seemed to be more interested in the Buck
eye light elevator, or folding binder than in any
other one thing on the ground. The binder is
exhibited by II. J. Prier the efficient State agent
in Power Hall. The Buckeye folding binder is
the first folding binder that was a success. For
years inventors worked to perfect such a ma
| chine, but the Buckeye men were the first to
| perfect the invention. Others, seeing their sue
cess have attempted to initiate the machine and
with some success, but the Buckeye still, and al
ways will, stands at the head All other machines
are only limitations and of course. not have
the superior points of the original. The sale of
| the Buckeye elevator binder the past year was
| remarkably large, and every machine put out
| gave the very best satisfaction From present
indications their factory will be hard pressed to
keep up with the orders another year. For
| years all other machines have been compelled to
| take a back seat when the Buckeye was around
and the Buckeye folks intend that it shall al
| ways be so. They never follow in anything. but
| always lead Mr. Prer, the State agent is To-
| I'D NJ
he will be glad to show the binders points Of ex
cellence to all who may call.
