H^nry Zander. HENRY ZAKDER I BEG to intimate that I have now on hand my season's supply of BEST BINDING TWINES (MANILA and HEMP), which are open for inspection bow, and I have great pleasure m stating that the quality of it exceeds lost year*!, notwithstanding that it then gave GRATIFYING SATISFACTION to all who used it. Among tke many I point oat the following SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:— It is manufactured m the Colonies. 2. It is double-reel, and posset through the tension WITH the twist of the yarn, not AGAINST it as m other twines. (We were the first to introduce thus great improvement last year.) 3. It is wound perfectly even and firm, and runs 750 feet to the pound, and stands a strain of aver iiolbs. 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 ' i I am now booking orders for all the leading makers of EEAPEBS AND BINDEBB including McCORMICK, MASSEY, DEER. ING, e:c, etc., and beg to inform my clients, that besides extras for the Masscy'a 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 band McCORMICK TWINE BINDERS on hand, guaiameed m good order. , I have just landed ex " lonic," 20 tons best soft Steel BINDING WIRe of the White- cross Brand (the favorite of the Farmers), and it will be of great advan age Km Farmers to give their orders EARLY, as the QUALITY cannot be equalled. X HAVE ALSO IN STOCK AND TO LAND, 50 Coses Castor Oil 100 Drams Linseed Oil ICO. Drums Machine Oil (including Colza, Olive and Sperm) ! 5 Casks Lubricating Oil 10 Cases Lord Oil aS Drams Tattoo Oil, red and black, ready for sheep branding Id Bales best 5-ply Seaming Twine Homsby'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, uid Ceylon Teas Wines, Spirits, Ales, and Stout, etc., etc., etc. Being a direct Importer of all the Aove- tUmed Articles,- 1 am m a position to under* Sell any local Merchant, and can put Farmers, and Statipnholden on as good a footing as any Wholesale House.
