THE NEW ZEALANDER TWINE BINDER. IN asking our friends to buy from New Zealand Makers, we would point out a few of the benefits which would accrue through .so doing. Duplicates would be easier got and generally cheaper ; and from the facilities at our disposal—vi;:. , "in- branches in different parts of Now Z.iahmd.—we can supply any parts of machines from any of these'branches at an horn's note; other makers may, and do claim to bo able to do this, but farmers find to their cost, and our experience bears them out, THAT IT cannot BE DONE WITH IMPORTED MACHINES. We have known of cases where farmers with a broken down Imported Binder have had to wait a week during the busiest part of harvest time before tboy got supplied. Had such been a machine of our make, it would have been at work within a few hours. A'l parts of machines are numbered and accurately duplicated, and we challenge comparison with the best imported in that ! respect; and while asking farmers to purchase our Binder, we may state that it is now generally recognised that our machine is at least as g*od as the best imported, and much superior to many of them in every requisite of a serviceable Binder. We append a few of the many Testimonials received for our Binder; but the best ; Testimonial is the fact that last year no less than 43 wore sold in one district alone. Tkßobe West, Waifa, Aug. 11, 1887. The Reaper and Binder 1 bought from you last harvest made very good work on all sorts of ground. I cut some very steep sidlings, the Binder sliding a foot at once, and at the same timo cutting and binding a very neat sheaf. j Isaac Hodgson. ; Centre Bush, March 27, 1880. The Reaper and Binder I purchased from you this season has given mo entire satisfaction. I cut and tied 140 acres in 11 days, and made a really good job. She tied well and left a good clean stubble, although some of the crop was very light, and other ; parts of it were good. I consider your Binder quite equal to any of the imported j machines, and much lighter ok draught I than some that were working in the j SAME PADDOCK WITH ME. I sevor.il times I worked the same team of three hoisos the 1 whole day, although I had a spare team I beside me. Iliad no stoppage from tune lof starting till I finished, and I am ! thoroughly satistied that T have a really ! good and serviceable machine, and one that j will last me a good many seasons.
