Henry Zander. : HENRY ZANDER. T BEG to intimate that I have now on X hand my season's supply of BEST BINDING TWINES (MANILA and HEMP), which arc open for inspection now, and I bave grrat pleasure m s'.atiog that the quality of it exceeds last year*, notwithstanding that it then gave ; GRATIFYING SATISFACTION to all who used it, Among the many I point , out the following I SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:— It is 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 I2o\bs, The Hemp Twine is 4-ply, and runs 980 ft to the pound, and is also manufactured m the Colonies. As Hemp has and is still advancing, farmers will benefit by booking their orders now to save the extra rise.
