Business Notices. REID & GRAY, Sole agents for new Zealand FOR THB MERCER "NON CANVAS" BIDDER 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 heavy tangled crops, having three times the elevating capacityof any other binder in the market. The principal feature of the "MERCER" is the doing AWAY WITH THE TROUBLESOME AND EXPENSIVE CANVASES, these being replaced by such simple and durable devices that place the "MERCER" without an equal. 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 beaper and Binder (for which Messrs Reid and Gray are agents in New Zealand) was given in a paddock belonging to J. Cregan, Gore. 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 crop, which 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 that we 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 shaking or pressing in the ripest crop." EXTRACT FROM AUSTRALASIAN, DATED DECEMBER 26, 1891. "At a field trial of reapers and binders, held near Ballarat under the auspices of the Smeaton Society, on the 17th insb., the Mercer Non-canvas Binder was the only one that opened up and came back without a stoppage,' and went through its whole piece without a single choke, defeating the M'Cormick, Wood, and Brantford machines."
