The agents being desirous that the Deering Twine Binder shoo'd 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 way, 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.
