With the above facts before you in
regard to the Monroe Field Contest
from which to draw your own conclu-
sions, we submit the following from
YORK COUNTY USERS OF THE
DEERING BINDER. You know these
men and can depend on what they say:
the
Mccormick Order"
GUTHRIESVILLE .. c., June 1O, 190l.
To My York County Friends:
1 wish to say that in the first week
of May, 1 gave conditional order for
Mccormick Binder to a Mccormick
representative. The condition embodied
in that order was that it was subject to
countermand until May 20.
I told the salesman that day that If
saw a machine I liked better than the
Mccormick, I would buy it.
The next day, Mr.. r. S. Fitzpatrick,
representing the Deering company,
called to see me, and insisted on my
going to see his Binder, stating, at the
time, if he could not show me a better
Binder than the Mccormick, he would
not ask me to buy 1t.
Udu tiiS AVN
Cornick closely, so 1 accepted his in
vitation and went to see his Binder.
After examining the machine, and af-
ter talking to some Of my good friends
who had seen both machines operated.
I decided to take the Deering Binder.
And upon that date. which was May
Is, countermanded the Mccormick or
der.
I brought the Deering Binder home,
and started it in my field today. Had
it doing nice work before the Deering
representative arrived. AS far as I
have tested it, it has given entire sat-
isfaction.
I wish to say in behalf Of Mr.. Fitz-
patrick, that my dealings with him
have been perfectly satisfactory. He
used no unfair methods to obtain my
order. Neither did he offer me any ex-
ira inducements.
The Mccormick people have report
ed that the order I gave their repre-
sentative was unconditional. Now /
have a copy Of the order in my posses
sion with the condition written in its
face. j. L. WILLIAMSON.

A FALSE REPORT.

The Mccormick repreSentativeSgr gross
ly miSrepreSented the facts when they
claimed that they had "dcfeated' the
Deering Binder in Il field contest at
Monroe, Tuesday, the 4th, for we have
had no contest this Week with them.
The FACTS are as follows: We met at
Monroe, Tuesday, the 4th, to engage in
Il field trial with the Mccormick Bind
er and, after arriving on the ground,
Mr. Il. Is. Fox, general agent FOR the
Mccormick, refused to recognize our
representative. II. II. Showulter, and
told him he was not our legal repre-
sentative and he would not go into the
contest. Mr.. ShOwalter was sent there
by us with full authority to act. He
therefore issued Il challenge to the Nc
cormick people, and embodied in the
challenge, each of us was to select one
Judge and they select the third. They
declined the challenge, and further
stated that they would not agree TO
there being Judges appointed, and they
would only agree to let Mr.. |. f. Fly
lrr. whom they had brought there TO
sell Il binder to, decide the matter.
Any man with common sense would
know we would not agree to such con-
iition. and therefore no contest look

that if the conditions were anyway
equal, he would give the Mccormick

crowd present who wanted to see our
machine in operation, our Mr.. ShOWal-

"Deering Binders"
MIR. Nclms Makes a Statement.

ALBANY, Ga, June 5, 1901.
Deering Harvester Co.,
Atlanta, Ca:
Dear Sir: Being desirous of buying a
Rinder for use on my farm, l proposed
to the Deering and Mccormick agents
at Albany, that they each send one OF
their machines out to my place with
the understanding that / keep the bind
er doing the best work, and which gave
the least trouble, and at the same
time seemed best adapted to the soft
sandy land in this section.
| hauled the Deering Binder on It's
TRANSFORMATION trucks on Saturday. ana
III N. Hall came out Monday after
noon and started 1t in rank, heaVy
oats. some of which were blown down
and tangled. Two mules pulled this
binder through heavy grain with SEEM
ing ease, and the machine handled it
nerrectly. making bundles that were
inst right in size, and missing only one.
This was no doubt attributable to the
fact that the twine guides were stlll
covered with paint and consequently
rough. Your expert demonstrated the
fact that the binder could be adjust
ed 70 tie bundles Of almost any size,
either tight or loose as preferred.
II is my opinion that your binder IS
no heavier than reaper to pull, Whlch
no doubt is due to the use of roller
and ball bearings. Your truck IS Ger
tuinlv the most convenient l ever saw,
and at the same time appears to be
very strong. The bundle carrier is
strong and easily operated, and the
folding feature makes 1t better suited
to this section, where we have stumps,
than any other I have seen.

owe Think the DeerinR Il the Most
Durable Machine."

| ROME, Ca, June 1900.
Deering Harvester Company,
Atlanta, Ca:
Sirs: We, the undersigned, have this
year purchased an Ideal Deering Bind
er. We live in one Of the best agricul-
tural sections Of the state Of Georgia,
where binders have been used, Of all
kinds, for the last 20 years. There
were five different binders represented
| in the territory in which we live.
We decided to buy Deering Ideal
Binder, because, after comparing their
construction with other makes, we
found such points Of excellence In re-
gard to their construction and simplici-
ty.
We discovered that there are less
sprocket wheels and chain-links and
levers on the Deering machine than on
any other. We found that where
strength was needed, there was
strength. We found the Deering ele-
vator adjustable, the reel adjustable,
and adjustment for every possible wear
and give that might, in the course OF
time, show up.
We, too, are Of the belief that the
use Of the ball bearings are just as
necessary on q binder as they are on
acotton-compress, bicycle, or any 9TH
er machinery, where 1t Is desired to re-
duce friction.
Then again, we notice that the lev
| ers are all in reach Of the right hand.
We notice that the main sprocket
wheel is set away from the drive-wheel
so that the sand could not come In con-
tact with the drive chain and cut 1t out.
We notice that the bundle-carrier could
not be broken by running up against
q stump. The double butt-adjuster Is
4 20 ha Ijttof ofQr Ia have
ever seen.
We think the Deering Is the most
durable machine, and we believe, be-
| ing in one of the oldest wheat countries
in the state Of Georgia, we are In po-
stion to judge as to which Is the best
binder, because we have had years OF
experience with them. We have seen
almost every kind worked in this ter
ritory; and to those starters, who are
beginning to raise wheat in the state OF
Georgia, we wish to say that they have
our full assurance that they will not
make mistake by buying the Deerine
Ideal Binder.
It is by far the lightest draft Binder
made. 1t will handle any kind Of grain
and is so simple that you can trust II
to your farm hands without feeling any
anxiety because Of their liability to
break this machine up. Put your twine
on a Deering Binder. and your wheat
will be in nice, smooth bundles for you,
at the rate Of about 16 acres per day.
Yours respectfully,

"We Are Better Pleased With 1T
Than We Ever Expected

GUTHRIEsvILLE. S. c., June TO- 1901.
To Whom It May Concern:
We wish to say that in the month OF
April we gave a Mccormick represen-
tative a conditional order for McCor-
mick Binder The condition embodied
in this order was, if we saw a Binder
we considered better than the McCor-
mick. we were at liberty to buy it, and
countermand the Mccormick order.
Now, after mature consideration, and
after investigating both machines, and
after consulting our friends who had
seen both machines operated, we decid-
ed to buy a Deering and gave our order
to Mr.. Fitzpatrick.
Now, the Deering Binder has been set
up on our farm, and we have been ope-
rating it and can heartily say we are
better pleased with it than we ever eX-
pected. We have tried it in long and
short grain, and find that it handles 1t
nicely. We are pleased to say that you
can operate all the levers on our Binder
with your right hand, and the draft is
lighter than we expected. And we wish
to say, in behalf of Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
that our business relations with him
have been as pleasant as could have
been. and he has always shown his
competitors the utmost courtesies.

the right-hand of the driver, can be
handled to much better advantage than
machines having them on the other
side. My driver says the so-cailed
"right-hand" Mccormick Is very hard
to operate and is not as well made as
the Deering.
On my land, which Is soft and sandy,
the Mccormick Binder is much harder
to pull than the Deering. Another OBJ
lection had to the Mccormick binder,
was that it broke the twine very fire.
quently, making it necessary to tie the
bundles by hand.
The facts above mentioned compelled
me to render my decision in favor Of
the Deering Binder and to return the
Mccormick. I understand that great
many Deering Binders have been sold
from Albany and are giving perfect
satisfaction.
Wishing you the success you deserve,
