Ironmongery, &c. D (gPECIAL NOTICE TO FARMERS. REAPERS AND BINDERS ON SALE BY THE U.VJ)ERSIGN'ED. HARVESTER KING AND MARSH HARVESTER, I BY GAMMON AND D BERING. These Celebrated MACHINES, now brought to the highest state of perfection, have, during the last season, been remarkably successful in America, and 1 are found to surpass all others in t 3 Lightness of draught, combined with strength Simplicity of construction Freedom from breakage a Rapidity and cxccllcucc of work. The Binder is undoubtedly the most simple aiul a cttieicnt yet made, and tiic travelling bars arc a h decided improvement on ennvaa or rubber bands. 0 'lhe Aurents specially solicit the inspection of intend- ° injr purchase s, and arc prepared to supply the most r- ample testimony in favour of these Machines, e , g Trial at Altox, 111., Mat 23, IS7S.—Alton, 111., n May 23, 1878.—M'.psrs, Gammon »fc Deeriug: Gentlet men,—The trial to-day was a complete victory at this place. The #rai . cut was green wheat, live feet ten inches high, and t iick, and in places lodged. The Q McCormick and Wood were in with us. We were n allotted one-h <If acre e ich. We cut and bound ours in thiriy-oi.c minutes, and without mis.'ing a bundle or breaking a wire, and wi li a pair of mules weighing 1,400 lbs The McCormick cut theirs in one hour and thirty minutes, breaking foil wires each round on an average. And the Wo d stalled on the fourth bundle and swon br ke down, and cut twice a ound and quit, the - rain being too heavy and thick f r the capacity ■ of their Binder. The victory was clear and complete f°r the Marsh. The afte noon was rainy, and it ramiil all the time wo were cutting.—Yours, ivspectfullv, B E. Suonts.—Alton, 111., May i!2nd, 187S—Messrs. Gammon a De:ring, Chicjgo, 111.: Gentlemen,—ln a field - rial near Alt-n to-day, wi h the W. od and the McCormick Harvesters a d Binders, the Marsh, as usual, was victorious. The wheat m which wecut was very heavy and green, measuring in height (at an average) nea ly six feet. Half an acre off and allotted for each machine to cut and bind. The Marsh went in on her one-half acre at about 2 30 p m., finishing up without a stoppage, or without once , breaking the wir-, in thirty-one minutes. On her s second round the McCormick broke down so that the s Marsh had completed her work before she was again read; for action. Finally, however, they waded r through, meeting only with the slight incouveni nee of having to stop from three to four limes in every round, oii account of breaking their wire. Time, one hour and thirty minutes. The Wood Binder broke down on the first round, and when in two hours she was r.?ain ready for the fitld, was unable to complete her work, owing to the wet gain (it was raining hard) choking her down Some two hundred « people witnessed this trial, and although a ' gro ter portion of them came as friends and supporter* of the Wo d and MeC rmick, yc", at t .e close ofth? tria>, the public expression wa» strongly m favour of the Marsh Harvester a d Crane Binder. Aft-r th-i tr al, Mr. Auten produced a t stiinoniai which was signed b. many prominent farmers.— Oh:dient y y- u-s, H. 11. IlE**Nixe. Weight op Harvesters and Bidders. —The Marsh Harvester aud B ndcr is n_uch lit liter than some of its coojpetLors. It ru 8 one liorie ea»i r. Byactual comparison with o- e of its bs t-kr.own rivals, it was found to be nearly five hui.d ed pounds lighter. It uses but one wire, and if the wire breaks the twister catches it without stoppit g the machine. One of its riva's used a double wire, ana if eitr.er breaks, the mi< hine has to stop and the driver get off, adjust his machine and re-thread his needle. The .wiater on \hc Hinder is "he simplest in use, and disp nsea wi h t v 'C complicated ma hiuery required by all the other Binders. The machinery id all in plain sight, and tan b* easily understood. On some c-f the rival Binders th 4 machinery, which is very complica'cd, i< concealed, and is dii'li ult to put i'i order when or ce • ut of condition. In fact, this is the s mplest, most ellicicnt, and best. It is economy to buy the best. E. PORTER & CO., WHOLESALE & RETAIL IRONMONGERS, Auckland, AGENTS FOR NORTH ISLAND. J. * J.
