Ths Following Points Should b Kept Ia

Beware Of INSCRIPTIONS dealers who
misrepresent the quality of this import
ant article.
The hest material for Binding Irvine
Is pure Manila fibre, The poorest ma
terial for Binding Irvine is Sissil fibre.
The best Binding Irvine is Pure MA-
Mia, selected fibre, $50 feet 10
the pound. The next grade is made
partly OF Pure Manila fibre and runs
600 feet to the pound.
Irvine made OF Sisal fibre cannot be
spun longer than 500 feet to the pound
with proper strength and eyenness.
The great question is how many
bundles can you bind with one dollars
worth OF Irvine? Notice the length,
per pound and figure how many feet of
Irvine You get for dollar. The mixed
fibre Irvine is 20 per cent longer than
the Sisal grades. The Pure Manila
Irvine is so per cent longer. 1t is a
simple problem in arithmetic. Use a
little "horse sense" and YOU cannot
fail to decide right.
Standard Irvine il Sisal Irvine, col
ored or dyed to initiate Manila, and is
same length to the pound as Sisal, is
the same strength and same price at all
factories where it is made. Some
dealers are selling it for a better grade
than Sisal, which it is not. When
they mIsrepresent the Irvine and use
deception to enlarge their profit do
they deserve patronage?
IL Twine is made of Pure Manila
fibre the tag attached to each ball will
always bear the words Pure Manila"
II Irvine contains any Manila fibre
the word manila" will always appear
on the tag, for no dealer or maker will
fail to put on the labels any fact which
will recommend his goods.
The Red Clover Lear is the best
grade of Irvine made and is the favor
lite with the farmers all over the Pacific
coast, and is OF guaranteed length and
strength.
The Manila grades are the smoothest.
eSenest and most satisfactory in every
respect.
The Sisal grades are rough. coarse
and harsh; they wear out the knotters.
twine guides and Irvine holders on the
binders very fast and are so stiff and
unyielding that the knots are more like
ly % slip and become united when the
bunile drops from the binder or in
shocking and hauling.
Some twiues are sold merely bv the
name OF the manufacturer and the
salesman is careful not to mention the
grade or quality. In buying ALWAYS
require specific information as to the
quality OF the Irvine, and, moreover,
be very carefll 10 inspect the tag at.
tached to the balls. The buyer, il we'll
informed, cannot be deceived.
Manila fibre is all brought from the
Philippine islands. The Pacific coast
should especially encourage trade with
these islands, for they now belong 10
our country, and in Asiatic trade lies
our best hope for the future, for the
reason that when this trade is devel-
oped the Pacific coast will control il |
and our commerce will increase a
thousand fold
