HENRY ZANDER I BEG to intimate that I have now on hand my season's supply of HE^T BINDING TWINEg (MANILA and HEMP), which are open for inspection now, and I bave great pleasure m statiDg that the quality of it exceeds last year's, notwithstanding that it then avej GRATIFYING SATISFACTION '™ to all who used it. Among the many I point out the following j ... jSPECIAL ADVANTAGES :— | It i 3 manufactured m the Colonies. 2. It is double-reel, and passes through the tension WITH the twist of the yarn, not AGAINST it as m other twines. (We were the first to introduce this great improvement last year.) 3. It is wound perfectly even and firm, and runs 750 feet to the pound, and stands a strain of over I2olbs, The Hemp Twine is 4-ply, and runs 980 ft to the pound, and is a'so manufactured m the Colonies. As Hemp has and is still advancing, farmers will benefit by booking their orders now to save the extra rise. I am now booking orders for all the leading makers of REAPEBS AND BINDEES including McCORMICK, MASSEY, DEER. ING, etc, etc., and beg to inform my clients, that besides exiras for the Massey's Machine, I shall keep a larger stock of GENUINE McCORMICK EXTRAS this Harvest Season than any previous year, and will be glad to supply them to farmers at any HOUR, NIGHT OR DAY. A few second hand McCORMICK TWINE BINDERS on hand, guaranteed m good order. I have just landed ex " lonic," 20 tons besl soft Bteel BINDING WIRE of the White- cross Brand (the favorite of the Farmers), and it will be of great advaiVage t* Fanners to give their orders EARLY, as the QUALITY cannot be equalled. I HAVE ALSO IN STOCK AND TO LAND, So Cases Castor Oil xoo Drums Linseed Oil 100 Drums Machine Oil (including Colza, Olive and Sperm) 5 Casks Lubricating Oil 10 Cases Lard Oil 2$ Drums Tattoo Oil, red and black, ready for sheep branding 10 Bales best 5-ply Seaming Twine Hornsby's and Ransome's Plough Shares Hay Rakes and Hay Forks Garden Tools of every description China and Glassware Electro-plated ware for Christmas presents General Station and Family Groceries Mauritius, China, and Queensland Sugars China, India, and Ceylon Teas Wines, Spirits, Ales, and Stout, etc., etc., etc. Being a direct Importer of all the above, named Articles, I am m a position to under- sell any local Merchant, and can put Farmers, and Stationholders on as good a footing as any Wholesale House.
