HARVESTER MAKER
DEERINC IS DEAD
Goes South for Health But in
Vain-RiSked Fortune on
First Automatic Grain Binder

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O.-William Deer
ing, the Harvester manufacturer, died
Tuesday night at Miami. Fla. his win
ter home, according to a message re-
ceived here by associates.
Mr. Deering went To Miami several
weeks ago, accompanied by the men,
bers of his immediate family. He
had been i'll for a few months and
went south to escape the rigOrs OF
winter and in the hope his health
would be benefited. He failed grad
ually.
Mr. Deering was born at South
Paris, Maine, April 25, 1926, Of a
Puritan family, which was established
in America in 1884. His father was
a manufacturer of wOOlenS. Mr.
Deering early gave up the study Of
medicine TO enter a commercial life.
After several years in his native town
as a manufacturer he became in
terested in western lands of which he
became a large owner. In 1865, with
Seth NJ. Milliken, he formed in Port
land, Me, the firm of Deering, Milli-
ken & Co, which became one Of the
largest drygoods commission houses
in the country.
Visiting Chicago in 1870, Mr.. Deer
ing met Z. II. Cannon, an old Maine
acquaintance, who was engaged in
selling agricultural machinery. With
him he formed the firm of Cannon &
Deering. Nine years later Mr.. Deer
ing became the sole owner of the
business.
Risked Fortune on Binder.
In 1879 and 1880 Mr.. Deering at the
risk of his fortune put on the mar
ket a grain binder invented by J. F.
Appleby. which automatically bound
the sheaves with twine This ma
chine lacked much in the first year OF
being a complete success, but today
almost all of the grain harvested by
machinery is gathered by it. This
| process was jeopardiZed for time
| by the failure to find twine adapted
! to the use of the binder.
| A successful tWine was finally
manufactured from Manila fibre.
In 1874 the Deering factory was
| moved from Plano, Ill, to Chicago
where 5000 operatives are now en-
! ployed. In 1902 the Deering inter
ests were merged with the Interna-
| tional Harvester Co.
Mr.. Deering admitted his two son:
and his sOn-in-law to partnership anC
in 1901 he retired from active work
| spending a large part of each year a
| his winter home.
The wealth of the founder Of the
| harvester business is estimated a.
| from $4,000, 900 to $50.000,000

FRAGILE MATTER
SHOULD BE MARKED
PoStoffiCe Authorities Urge
Users of Parcel Post to inLi-

Extra Care.

PostOffice patrons who wish TO send
fragile articles through the parcels
post are urged by Postmaster Crabill
to mark plainly on such packages their
nature This viii enable the postal
employees to give the package the dis
tinctiVe service provided for fragile
matter. and the liability OF breakage
in transmission is lessened.
Much OF the criticism for damage TO
packages is due 20 the neglect OF the
sender 10 indicate its contents. the
postal officials declare. Especially
during the holiday rush are the pa
irons urged 10 tell the rate clerks II
their packages contain fragile articles.
The department regulations provide
that matter labelled fragile" shall
be placed in special sacks bearing red
taos. Especial care Is exercised in
handling these sacks, they are not
permitted 20 be thrown from ears or
dropped 20 platforms or TO be piled
underneath other sacks. Many times
they are handled loose in the ears as
express matter.
The postal officials point out that IL
is far easier for the sender TO indicate
the nature OF the package than for
the rate clerks To inquire as 10 the
contents OF each package.
Here is another case where the
spirit OF cooperation viii make for ad-
ditiOnal Christmas cheer" said Post
