Gentlemen: We have your esteemed
favor of June 7th. handing us clipping
taken from THE YoRKvII.LE ENQUIRER
relative to trial between "McCor-
mick" and "peering" Binders. at Mon
roe. We notice this statement is sign
ed by A. ]. Huff, no doubt one of the
employees of the Mccormick company.
As a rule, you will find that this kind
of blowing and preaching does abso-
lutely no good. We have furnished you
with a copy of Il circalar gotten out
from the Richmond general agency de-
nying the statement made by this man
Huff, which you may use to pretty
good advantage. We will have, in a
day or so, few testimonials in ad-
concerning another field contest which
we won over the "McCormick" ma
chine in this territory.

vertiser than he is n machine man, and
when some of the "McCormiCk" bind
ers are started in the vicinity of York
Vile, it will be an easy matter indeed
to prove as to which is the best ma
chine. We know that you have the
mccormick" people outsold. and we
think that is what is hurting them
more than anything else.
If you need any more help. wire us
and we will send you all you need.

which we give you here below:
Messrs. Shannon & Co.:
Gentlemen:-After seeing the NC
Cormick' and "Deering" machines
work, I must say that if I wished to
buy two machines or needed two ma
chimes, I would certainly buy one
"Deering" and one Mccormick"

Now these are the plain FACTS, and
not a man present will state otherwise,
except the Mccormick representatives,
who never acknowledge a defeat, and
who would rather misrepresent. even
if the truth would serve their purpose
best.

"There IL No Comparison"

FOREST CITY, N. c., June rs, 1900.
M. c. Padgett:
Dear Sir: The Ideal Binder bought
of you is "out Of sight" as harvesting
machine. There 1" no comparison be-
tween it and the old way. 1t Is just
like going to plow, only two hands
needed, and the cooks don't know har-
vest is on unless you tell them-no
crowds Of hands to cook for, nothing
except the regular routine Of work for
the women. And then, watch the Ideal
pull it in, tie it up, and pile 1t ready to
shock. To my farmer friends: If you
want to please your wife and give her
a nice time during harvest, and save
grain and labor yourselves, see Pad
gett or Trollinger, quick, and give them
an order for an Ideal machine and you
will be happy during harvest at least,
am pulling my machine with TWO
little mules, weighing less than the ma
chine, and doing good work. I kind o
doubted the efficiency Of the roller and
ball bearings, but 4 trial has convinced
me of my error. So hoping you sue
cess in your good work, I remain,

Yorkville, S. c.:
Gentlemen: We are handing you state
ment showing recent contest between
Deering and Mccormick Binders on the
farm of H. H. Nelms, a prominent far
mer, of Albany, Ga. The Deering won
without a struggle. McCormick's ex-
pert remained from Sunday until We'd
nesday, but had to give up. The Deer
ing expert simply started his binder
and then went on starting others. The
Mccormick binder returned to agent
defeated and disgraced.
We have sold 10 Binders at Albany,
Ga, and Mccormick has not sold one
tenth of that number. Notice that the
farmer was pleased with the fact that
the levers of the Deering Binder could
be used with the right hand.
This is the first field contest In the
South, and as the harvest goes North
YOU will find a great deal Of just the
same kind Of successes on the part OF
the Deering machines.
We had no expert on the grounds
Whatever. Simply turned the machine
over to the farmer, and that machine
with but very little trouble sent the Nc
Cormick binder back to the Mccormick
agent.

Padgett and Trollinger have done a
great work in introducing the Ideal
Binder. Under anything like favora-
BILE circumstances its work Is perfec-

is fix your land, buy an Ideal Binder,
and make your stock do the work that
heretofore was looked upon, and Is the
hardest work the farmer has to do.

Yorkville Buggy Co.,
Yorkville, s. c.:
Dear Sirs: 1t is with pleasure I give
you the following in regard to the
Deering Binder. purchased this year.
The machine was hauled to the farm
from your place of business on trucks;
was put in operation by one of my
brothers and myself, neither of whom
had ever seen Binder in operation be-
fore; the machinery worked perfectly
from the start; we worked two common
farm mules to the machine.
I have seen a Mccormick machine at
work recently. and find my machine
will run MUCH lighter. tie BETTER
bundles. more EASILY operated. Be
ing IL "right-hand" machine. was more
trouble to drive team and required dri-
yer to operate levers with left hand.
The Deering has EVERYTHING the
Mccormick has and lots of things they
HAVEN'T GOT.
Yours very truly.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-06-12

and Binder I bought of you has been
worked by me with three mules. 1t
runs light, and I am sure that two
good mules will pull it with ease. 1t
runs very much lighter than two other
machines that I have seen working in
the neighborhood. It saves all the
grain and ties nice, smooth bundle.
In short it does everything that you
claimed for it. You have been perfect
ly fair to your competitors and your
transactions with me have been per-
fectly satisfactory. I will further say
that all the levers are to the right hand
and work very conveniently.
I do not see how any one can turn
one of these machines over in driving.
Yours truly,

in cutting and binding, as both were
as near perfection as any piece Of ma
chinery could possibly be. pulled my
machine with two small mules weigh

sizes, and positively never missed tying

the Deering Ideal to the farmers OF

The Christmas Turkey.

If you were to set about to improve
upon your method of cooking q turkey
you would probably do 1t in this wise:
You would put the turkey on the rack
Of your fsh-kettle, or on an improvised
rack in a tiny washboiler bought for
the purpose, and you would fill the
vessel up to little above the rack
with boiling water, and steam that
bird for two full hovrs. Then you
would rubsit all over with the best of
butter. sdredgeait with seasoned -four,
and put it IN the~oven to bake for an
hour or more, according to its size,
basting every ten minutes-or at least
every ffteen-with the water over
which the steaming was, done, which,
Of course, you would keep hot for the
purpose. You know too much to begin
the basting until the -four has begun
to brown, or to have too much bast-
ings in the pan at once, which prevents
the possibility Of good gravy making,
or to fail to turn the bird judiciously
so that every part is equally and even.
