l wish to inform my friends and pat
rOEs that l have sold out my interest in
the firm of Craig, wilkins * Martin and
have opened up business for myself on
the corner of High aud Eleventh streets,
near the depot. also wish to tender my
sincere thanks to all my friends and Gus
toners for the kindness and liberal pat
ronage shown me in the past.
have the agency for the Deering Bin
der, Reaper, Mower, Hay Rake and
Binder Irvine, and sell the different ex-
tras used on all the Deering machines,
and when the machine season is over,
will add such line of farm implements
to my business as 1 can procure and
can cOnscientously recommend, aud
shall always keep good, practical men
TO assist me.
l have represented the Deering goods
in Maury County for the past seven
ye@rs, and can assure You that the Deer
ing Company is well pleased with he
patronage they have received At your
hands, and will in Iuture do all in their
power 10 protect their trade here, and
will be as liberal with their customers
here az any firm on earth.
trust you will remember that | have
never recommended Il machine to my
patrons yet that did not bear me out in
my assertions regarding the same. My
experience with machinery has not been
as extended ~ [ would have liked, but
[ have studied it all my life and have
done expert and experimental work in
Illinois, Indiana, kentucky, MISSISSIPPI
pi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama,
- nd AT 7 trn In
fully say that the D.,ering is the leader
III ali these States, and L honestly be-
lIeve 1t is by far the Dost machinery on
earth. The Deering for the coming sea-
son is the finest machine ever man utac-
tured by VIM. DeerIng Il Co., (Which L
shall not take space here u deScrIbe }
1 may not be able 10 sell the DeerIng tor
AS few dollars as some machines Will be
offered tor, but will promise 10 sell them
just cheap as IL rs possible for me to
| do and save for myself reasonable pay
| for my time. But To take the true mcr-
| it's of the machine into consideration, l
will sell the best machine Tor the money
| OF any OH the market. So far az the
DeerIng machines staying in Maury
| County is concerned, my competitors
| NAV be at ease on that score, Tor they
! will be here so long as there Is gram
| and grass TO cut anu the farmers show
| Their appreciation of them as they have
| in the PASSED seven years. SIncJ that
| space OF time there has been over three
| hundred Doering machines sold and
| used in Maury County. III 1850 We oniy
| sold one Deerlng machine; Iu 1850 only
| i've Binders and fourteen Mowers Our
| trade increased each year; in 1881 we
! sold sixty Binders and about forty
! Mowers. This steady growth shows
| that the DeeTIng is no experimental MA
tuine, but is one that Is worthy of the
| trade and has come to stay.
Mr.. L. ). (fuD) Neciey is with mo
ana l must say that l only ech0e tho
sentiments of hundreds OF the best
farmers III Maury County when | "a
! this county, and l believe | might safe
| Iy say, in the State. lie will be pleased
70 see all has old friends and viii DO all
he can to make your machine work to
| your satisfaction.
| Not believing il to be fair thing to
| criticise any machine or Improvement
| thereon without seeing same, most
heartily invite close examination OF
| the now Deering, mad most earnestly
do invite all my competitors to come
| at auV time and OFTEN as they see
proper and examine them-they will
meet with a hearty welcome.
1 have no disposition to say that the
| Deering is the only good machine on the
market; there are many good machines,
| and ale represented by as clever, nice
| gentlemen AS ever lived. But what j
say l believe from mechanical amt prac-
tical stand points. That is, for SIM
| pIicitY, durability, Eyhtness OF draft
and capacity, tue DeerIng is far i'll the
| lead OF all competitors.
Now. in conclusion, allow me to say
that | have no fight to make against any
other machines. l shall only sell the
| Deerimg; therefore, 1t hehOOVeS me to
learn AS much about it As possible, for ]
| fully believe all farmers appreciate the
| ability of mech MICS. Remember, We
can furnish you any extras you may
need on any DeerinE machine made,
and are ready at all hours To wait on
,,ur customers and soc that their ma
chimes do not have to stand idle in the
| field for days waiting for telephone ana
| telegraph and trains to brig extras
! from tine factory. Remember, IL has
| always been my mott" to have them IN
| stock, and will have them again.
| Hoping that all may com" ~ their

machines before buying, ~ IL will he
