P..S Any repairs 10 Obi :?
The company replies:
We are still running the factory
will run lights If necessary-till the
last bundle is tied. And the last will
be tied, also the first, and all in be-
tween ii you use the uncqualed "Min-
ME-, knotter.
We would rather sell SO cents worth
OF repairs for an old machine than TO
sella new machine, for the durability
and long life of the Id ones is what
has made the word Minnie" on our
cover iron mean the same that 'Ster-
ling does on silver.

Gentlemen
Can you furnish us with repairs
for tie Minneapolis wheat binder
made in 1881 and 1883? We still have
two OF that make and cut 100 acres OF
grain with them last year, being the
twentieth consecutive year they have
done duty. We need repairs to put
them In shape for another seasons
work. We see or know OF no reason
why they should not run for invent
years more. The Minneapolis binder
ought to have more friends in Ohio
than it has as they certainly were and
are an honest built machine. Let us
know by return mail as to ourinquiry
as we have fresh in our minds just
we will need in the way of repaire.
Please seEd your 1908 catalogue and
we will reimburse you expense Of post
age on same. To run a binder twenty
consecutive years is something to say
for any machine. We secured few
repairs last year and with the excep-
tion of bad Irvine the two old ma
chimes did not fail to bind perfectly.
Were we not engaged in farming ex-
tensively would enjoy nothing better
than to take the agency at this point
for the celebrated Minneapolis Wheat
Binder. Yours truly,
(Slgnedj @. FL. NILES.
NOTE: The minnie good'' things
are coming too fast to print, but here
is one Of them: Yes we can furnish
the repairs for any minnie or Min
neapolis binder; in fact, repairs are a
drug on the market with us. Observe
the construction Of our machine and
see why. Observe also, the similarity
to the old Minneapolis, all the valua,
BILE and really vital features remain,
while all OF the few genuine modern
improvements have been added. I'M
