The° Triumph of Modern Invention ! THE vi yumiiiuii uuui nu uuui i mi A TWINE SAVER. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■a "We claim that the Simple Knottcr used on the MeCormiek Binder is more economical in the use of twine than any other. We are aware that others also make this claim. Unfortunately for the "others" the "claim" is all they have to rely on ; the tests knock them out. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof," and to the man who intends to buy a Binder this season we offer this advice : When you go to town take a bundle of grain with you and ask the agents of the various machines to run it through their Binder in your presence. After it is bound, measure the length of twine used, including the waste, and jot it down. Go to each Binder and repeat the test,. Don't take any person's "say-so" for it. See with your own eyes, and if you arc not convinced that the McCormick Simple Knotter uses k^s, wastes less twine than any other machine on earth, then we will return to the old, back number, complicated device offered by our competitors. Why are we making this .Simple Knotter if it is not in every way an improvement over the old ones ? Every feature, every device, every new method brought out by the McCormick is thoroughly experimented with by our mechanical foree — cxpiruii- nted with and compircd with others — and unless these experiments demonstrat ■ the superiority of the M •(Vir.nirk 10 i-> not adopted as a part of the machine. It is easy for others to claim their knotteis will save twine. But — "ihe pro.jf of the pudding is the eating thereof." It has happened now and then during the pa^t two years that a farmer Ins bought his supply of twine and found it to be far inferior to what he was told it would be — miserable stall' in fact. The use of such twine on most binders is a source of great annoyance and del iy. In such case-i he is a forum ite man who o\\ns a MeCormiek. Our Simple Knot-ter is so constructed that it produces a uniform strain on the cord, without v tendency to cut or tear it — a chronic fault with other machines. Our Knotter acts the same on all grades of twine, and we can L^TSefore successfully use a cheaper co:\l than can be used by others. **» MORROW, BASSETT & CO. CHRISTCHURCH AND DUNEDIN.
