BorduLac
Company to
Incorporate

Attorney James Morris of Bordulac
arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing for the purpose OF making appll-
cation for articles OF incorporation
for the GrahamRoach Harvester 4
Stacker Co. of that city.
Tho inventor of the harvester and
stacker, David M. Graham, says the
machine gives a new method OF
handling grain which will prove to
the grain raisers to be the greatest
labor and grain saving device that
has been produced since the advent
of the self binder. -H "t
The machine is 4 simple mechanl-
cal construction. The stacker is at
tachcd to any eight-fOOt harvester
from which has been removed the
binder head and all Of its necessary
parts, leaving nothing but the reel,
sickle and harvester frame. The
machine goes along with the binder
and stacks are built on the ground
1t eliminates the use Of binding
twine and pitching OF bundles. The
grain cut and stacked in this manner
goes through a sweat just the same
as If cut and stacked in the old lab
orious way. A new and distinct ad-
vantage in favor of stacking direct
from the harvester instead OF from
the shock is shown in the gain in
weight OF the grain harvested.
Attorney Morris stated to Secretary
Remission of the Commercial club yes
terday that the company is consider
ing the proposition Of locating in
Bismarck and manufacturing the ma
chine here.
