Sole Agents for New Zealand for the MERCER " NON CANVAS " BINDER. ''HIS Machine is what farmers have long wished for, and is now ready for inspection and delivery. Sample machines on view at all our branches. Specially adapted for heavy tangled crops, having three times the elevating capacity of any other binder in the market. The principal feature of the " Mercer "is the doing away with the troublesome and expensive canvasses, these being replaced by such simple and durable devices that place the "Mercer" without an equal. Specially adapted for hillside work. Order early to avoid disappointment. The Gore Advertist-r of January 20, 1891, says :—" On Saturday last a trial of the Mercer Reaper and Binder (for which Messrs Reid & Gray are agents in New Zealand) was given in a paddock belonging to J. Cregan, Gore. There was a very large attendance of farmers during the afternoon. The previous wet weather made the ground heavy, added to which the crop had not been rolled. We may say that the crop, which was heavy, was well cut, the sheaves were nicely bound, and a clean stubble was left.' If we are asked what we think of the mechanism whereby the canvass is dispensed with, we reply that we think a great deal of it. It has sounded the death knell of canvass. The operation is extremely simple and easy to understand when seen. The grain is most tenderly dealt with; there would be no shsking or pressing in the ripest crop." BINDING TWINE all kinds at Lowest Prices. Lubricating Oils, all sorts ; Back-delivery Reapers at reduced prices ; Double Furrow Ploughs. Also, their CHILLED DIGGING PLOUGHS, with Patent reversible points, land edge and front-lifting lever.
