It has been used at work but two days. WILLIAM LEHNHARDT. WALNUT, Iowa. May 22,1897. O. II. Jones 6 Co., Audubon, la.:— DEAR SIB: —Will you be kind enough to sell the McCormick Binder as it Is Impossible for me to dispose of it here, as farmers will not buy a ma chine that has McCormick's name 011 after knowing the way the they served me. Yours truly, WILLIAM LEHNHARDT. The above letter from William Lehnhart shows my authority for trying to sell the McCormick Right Hand cut, open end JBlnder, and as it is hard to sell them without first ad vertising, I take that method of let ting the people know that I have one for sale. The above notice is suffi cient proof of the quality of this ma chine and the class of work it will do when compared with the NEW CHAMPJON. This binder has not got the PUSH FEED nor the CON CENTRIC tVHEEL, but it has the usual NECK WEIGHT, SLUGGISH DRAFT, RIGHT HAND CUT, the elevator is open, conveuieut for long grain to hang out behind, allowing the heads to dangle on the elevator chain. This feature is not objection able where grain, is not fully ripened. In case your grain is ripe and the chain shatters it out, a canvass might be hung oh rear of the machine to catch the grain that otherwise would be wasted. This also operates as a weight behind and relieves the horses' necks. You also save some iu threshing account. The first to apply will get a deal if desired. G. H. JONES, Audubon, Iowa.
