( c HENRY ZANDER : I BEG to intimate that I have now on hand my season's supply of BEST BINDING TWINES (MANILA and HEMP), which ar« open for ; i inspection now, and I have great pleasure m stating that the quality of it exceeds last year's, notwithstanding that it then avc GRATIFYING SATISFACTION to all who used it. Among the many I point out the following SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:— It is manufactured m the Colonies, 2. It is double-red, 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 Btrain of over I2olbs, 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 REAPEBB ANI> BINDERS including McCORMICK, MASSEY, DEER- ING, etc., etc., and beg to inform my clients, that besides exhras 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 best soft Steel BINDING WIRE of the White- cross Brand (the favorite of the Farmers), and it will be of great advantage t» Farmers to give their orders EARLY, as the QUALITY cannot be equalled.
