A Remarkable Machine.

Our enterprising harness maker,
Mr.. A. II. Burnett, has recently pur-
chased a Lands hard wax, lock stitch,
harness machine costing 100000.
After ten years of practical experi-
menting by the inventor this machine
was first placed on the market about
seven years ago and therefore is no
experiment. 1t has been improved
from year to year since that time
until it has reached such a state Of
perfection that it does better work
than it is possible to do by hand.
AS compared with hand work the
machine uses a smaller awl, larger
and stronger thread, twice as much
hard wax which is melted and pumped
into the stitches making them water
proof, more stitches to the inch and
every stitch pulled in tighter than is
possible by hand.
A man sewing by hand pulls the
thread through hole after hole in the
leather thus weakening the thread
with each stitch taken before it finds
its place in the completed work,
whereas the machine uses new piece
of thread for each and every stitch.
Buyers of harness on first thought
consider all machine made harness as
being factory harness, but this is not
right, as there is vast difference be-
tween factory made harness and
| harness made on made on Lands
machine in Mr.. Burnett's shop, be-
cause he will use better stock and will
exercise greater care in selecting the
!! best part of the leather for parts OF
the harness subjected to the greatest
strain; he will also use better thread
and give closer attention than the
factory to the details which go to
make first class harness.
Mr.. G. B. Garfield, Iowa's represen-
tative of the Lands Machine Co., says
, he has standing offer to forfeit
/ $1,000 if harness made on the Lands
machine will not out wear hand work
when the same stock is used. Th.
5 general public is respectfully invited
/ to call at Mr.. Burnett's shop and Sc,
+ this machine work.
