McOORMIOK'S STEEL BINDERS. FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN-FEET CUT. THE " Machine of Steel," would never have been built had McCormick been con tent to stop when their self-binding harvester was considered by thousands to be good enough. "Advance and improvement " the policy of the McCormick Com pany. It is striving at all times to anticipate the wants of the agriculturists, and to make machines for handling grain and grass more perfect than any other machines on the farm. THE FRUIT OF THIS POLICY is seen in the immense sale of the McCORMICK. i The people of the world demand and will buy the best, even though the cheap is offered them at far less price. While McCormick machines are recognised world ; wide «ts the best, the Government of the U.S. specifying them as the standard, still at home and abroad, in the competitive field trial with a combined opposition whose cry is " McCormick must not win," 1 NINE TIMES OUT OF TE3 THE McCORMICK IS VICTOR. The aggregate of aU the prizes won by all makes of machine, both home and foreign, do not equal the prizes won by the McCormick. But the MrCormick has done more than this ; it has pleased the critical farmers oi the world. John Orr and Co., AGENTS.
