.As Harvest is fast approaching we would solicit intending buyers •to inspect this Season's Maohina, " Light "Low Elevator," now on view ; at the same time we_ would mention that crops being exceptionally heavy this year, at the Totara -Trial, 1885, oars was the only machine fit to do the work required, completing 4 aoresin 2 honra 11 minutes of heavy laid wheat, the next machine taking 3 hoars. In asking onr friends to bay from as, we would point oat the following benefits' which would' aoorue through so doing, viz, Duplicates would be got easier, and generally cheaper,; as from oar branches we oan supply any parts of the machines at an hoar's notice, day OK NIGHT. We have known of cases when farmers, with a broken down imported Binder, have had to wait a week during the busiest part of harvest time before they gat supplied ; had Bach a machine been of oar make it would have been at work, wit nin, a. few hours.
