 The Primer of Irrigation 



WE want every farmer in this country who uses our twines to 

 go through the entire harvest season without one break in 

 the field. We have set out to make that the standard test of 

 all twines, and we believe that I H C twine comes nearer being such 

 a grade than any other twine. 



We have taken this matter the more seriously because we have stood back of 

 the Sisal and Standard, Sisal twines and the better grades of Manila ever since 

 twine was made. 



85 to 90 per cent of all the twine used is Sisal. It comes in a larger strand than 

 the Manila twine; and, as all binders are adjusted to use this twine, the result has 

 been that the bigger, stronger twine has proved more satisfactory in actual me- 

 chanical binding. Its only equal is the higher grade, higher priced Manila, which 

 also bears the I H C trade-mark. 



These two twines represent the highest point of excellence thus far attained in 

 binder twine. You get the best when you ask your dealer for an 



I H C Brand of SisalStandard Sisal- 

 Manila or Pure Manila 



You get a twine that has made its record in millions of wheat fields. 

 One that is guaranteed of standard length and standard strength. 

 One that is smooth-running; that works at a steady tension, without kinking or 

 tangling in the twine box, and consequently without any loss. 



One that has the smallest percentage of breaks and that works well in the 

 binder knotter. Good binder twine is as important to you during harvest as good 

 weather. You cannot regulate the weather, but you can pick your twine. If you 

 want to be positive that you will have no twine delays, choose your twine Sisal 

 500-ft.; Standard (which is made from pure Sisal) 500-ft.; Manilsu'jSOO-ft., or Pure 

 Manila 650-ft. from any of the following I H C brands: 



Champion Deering McCormick 



Milwaukee Osborne Piano International 



These brands mean time-insurance for you during harvest. 



Let your local dealer know well In advance what your needs will be. The mills are workine 

 now. And it you want more interesting facts on binder twine, write nearest branch house for 

 particulars.
