-••IV m EEID & GRAY, SOLE AGENTS FOR NEW ZEALAND FOR THE MERCER "NON-CANVAS" BINDER This 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 hillside work. Order early to avoid disappointment. The Gore Advertiser, of January 20, 1891, says "On Saturday last a trial of the Mercer Reaper and Binder (for which Messrs Reid and Grey are agents in New Zeaiand) was given in a paddock belonging to Mr J. Cregan, Gbre. 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 ct*p. jirhich 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 canvas is dispensed with, we reply thftlwe think a great deal of it. It has sounded the death-knell of canvas. The operation is extremely simple and easy to understand when seen. The grain is most tenderly dealt with; there would be no pressing or shaking in the ripest crop." BINDING TWINE—ALL KINDS AT LOWEST PRICES. LUBRICATING OILS, ALL SORTS.
