Henry Zander. HENRI ZANDER I BEG to intimate that I have now on hand my season's supply of BEST BIDDING TWINES (MANILA and HEMP), which are open for inspection now, and I have great pleasure in stating that the quality of it exceeds last year's, notwithstanding that it then gave GRATIFYING SATISFACTION to all who used it. Among the many I point cut the following SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:— It is manufactured in the Colonies. 2. It is double-reel, and passes through the tension WITH the twist of the yam, not AGAINST it as in other twines. (We were the first to introduce this great improvement last year.) J ■ . -■- v> 3. It is wound perfectly even and firm, and runs 750 feet to tbe pound, and stands a strain of over iaolbs, The Hemp Twine is 4-ply, and runs 980ft to the pound, and is also manufactured in 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 EEAPEBS AND BINDEES including McCORMICK, MASSEY, DEER- ING, etc, etc., and beg to inform my clients, that besides extras 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.gkd to supply them to farmers at any HOUR, NIGHT OR DAY. A few second handMcCORMICK TWINE BINDERS on hand, guaranteed in good order. \-j 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 te Farmers to give their orders EARLY, as the QUALITY cannot be equalled. I HAVE ALSO IN STOCK AND TO LAND, 50 Cases Castor Oil ico Drums Linseed Oil ico Drums Machine Oil (including Colza, Olive and Sperm) 5 Casks Lubricating Oil lO; Cases Lard Oil 35 -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, &ncT Ceylon Teas Wines, Spirits, Ales, and Stout, etc., etc., etc. Being a direct Importer of all the above- named Article*, I am in a position to under- sell any local Merchant, and can put Farmers, and Stationholders on as good a footing as any Wholesale House.
