DE E R I N O' 8 E E R I N G' S Twine Binder. WITH LATEST IMPROVEMENTS for 1885 6. REDUCED PRICE—£ .0. Every Machine with latest Improvements, two knives and a supply of small extras. The agents being desirous that the Deeriug Twine Binder should retain the position which it has obtained as the FAVORITE MACHINE WITH THE FARMERS throughout New Zealand, and that the price should not stand in the w&y, we have determined to sell all machines for coming season at FIFTY POUNDS. For simplicity of construction, lightness of draught, economy of repairs, strength and efficiency, it stands unequalled, whilst for excellence of work in the field, under all conditions of crop, it cannot be surpassed. In confirmation of its superiority, we refer to the many prizes obtained each year, and also to the testimonials from practical New Zealand farmers, as well as satisfaction expressed by every purchaser of machines.
