THIS SEASON A SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THE MASSEY HARRIS BINDER ! ! In the Field Trial of Reapers and Binders held at Maitland, S.A., on October 20th, 1898, by the Maitland Agricultural Society, the MASSEY-HARRIS BINDER again demonstrated its supremacy over others in the actual work of the harvest field. After a most thorough and exhaustive series of tests by the judges, they placed the machines as follows :—: — Total Possible Points— 7oo. First— MASSEY-HARRIS, 690. Second— Buckeye, 665. Third— Osborne, 599. The Judges' decision shows that the Massey-Harris Binder was First for Lowness and Eveness of Cut ; First for Certianty of Tying ; First for Ease and Adjustment ; First for Handiness for Oiling ; First for Construction and Durability ; First for Quickness and Handiness of Transport. The Reapers and Binders of the MASSEY-HARRIS CO., LTD., have, since their introduction in the Colonies, competed in 94 Public Field Trials, held under the auspices of the Australasian Agricultural Societies, in which trials they were awarded 117 Prizes, or more than were awarded to two of their competitors combined. Every competitor on the show ground will tell you that his Binder is just as good as the Massey-Harris, but buy the Binder that is as good in the harvest field as it is on the show ground.
