< HENRY ZANDER : I BEG to intimate that I have now on hand my season's supply of BEBT BINDING TWINE? (MANILA and HEMP), which are open for ■ inspection now, and I bave great pleasure m stating that tbe quality of it exceeds last year's, notwithstanding that it then gave GRATIFYING SATISFACTION to all who used it. Among the many I point out the following SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:— It is manufactured m the Colonies. a. 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. 1 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. I am now booking orders for all the leading makers of BEAPEBS AND BINDERS 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 Seafon than any previous year, and will be glad to supply them to farmers at any HOUR, NIGHT OK DAY. A few second hand McCORMICK TWINE BINDERS on hand, guaranteed m good order. I have just landed ex " lonic," 20 tons best Soft Steel BINDING WIRK of the White- cross Brand (the favorite of the Farmers), and it will be ot great advantage to Farmers to give their orders EARLY, as the QUALITY cannot be equalled. I HAVE ALSO IN STOCK AND TO LAND, So Cases Castor Oil 100 Drums Linseed Oil ico Drums Machine Oil (including Colza, Olive and Sperm) 5 Casks Lubricating Oil 10 Cases Lard Oil 25 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 Whclesale House.
