two ways: (1) by selling their lands 

 at a greatly enhanced price, and (2) 

 by disposing of water rights to the 

 settlers upon government land within 

 reach of their canals. Many of the 

 canal corporations have been far- 

 sighted enough to so construct their 

 canals with branches and laterals, that, 

 by owning a few thousand acres they 

 could control hundreds of thousands 

 of acres of undeveloped and govern- 

 ment soil. While this is an important 

 factor in the profit of the investments, 

 the ultimate object of the present day 

 corporations is the enhancement of 

 the value of their own lands.

T 1BE EXPERIENCE OF THE 

 MAJORITY OF FARMERS BE 

 YOUR GUIDE IN BUYING TWINE 



'HE time has come to order your binder twine for the 1910 harvest. Twine dealers are placing 

 orders for their season's stock. The mills are running. Now is the time for you to decide the 

 twine question. It is something that requires careful consideration. The success of your har- 

 vest will depend on the uninterrupted work of your binder, for no binder can work well if you use a 

 cheap grade of binder twine. 



It is our aim to have every farmer who uses I H C twine go through the 1910 harvest season 

 without a break in the field. We have much more at stake than merely selling twine. Your interests 

 and ours are the same. 



We know that the raw materials from which I H C twines are spun have the quantity and quality 

 of fibre that insure greater strength than is found in any other twine. Tney are evenly spun smooth 

 running do not tangle in the twine box work well in the knotter, insuring perfect binding and 

 perfect tying. They insure your being able to work-your binder through the entire harvest season .with 

 greatest speed and economy and are therefore practical profit insurance. 



Those who buy cheap twine will certainly have trouble delays due to tangles, knots and breaks 

 ''will mean the loss of valuable time and every delay at harvest time will cut down your profits. 



There is a sure way to avoid this. Let the experience of the past be your guide in purchasing your twine. 

 The verdict of the majority of the farmers of this country is a safe guide. Their decision should have more 

 weight with you than the statement of any twine manufacturer. These farmers know. They have the same 

 problems confronting them that you have. They have no axe to grind. They do not sell twine. They are 

 only interested in results. 



I H C Brand of Sisal Standard Sisal 

 Manila or Pure Manila 



Are the twines used by the majority of the farmers of this country. They have been proved to give the best 

 results. Eighty-five to 90 per cent of the farmers use Sisal. It is smooth running and works at steady tension 

 without kinking or tangling in the twine box insuring perfect binding and perfect tying. Its only equal is the 

 really high grade Manila twines such as bear the I H C trade-mark. 



Your interests and ours are identical on this twine proposition. We have more at stake than selling twine. 

 We are vitally interested in the successful operation of hundreds of thousands of binders. On their successful 

 operation depends our success and we know they cannot operate successfully with poor twine. No binder 

 made can. For this reason we have given the twine problem careful study. When we say "Stick to Sisal or 

 high grade Manila bearing the I H C trade-mark" we do so because we know them to be the highest stand- 

 ard of excellence in binder twine. 



Bat we don't ask you to do as we say. We want you to be the judge. But your judgment to be right should be based on 

 facts not on the statement of any twine man. And the fact is that the majority of the farmers of this country use I H C twine. 

 Sisal or Standard (which Is made from pure Sisal) comes 500 feet to the pound; high grade Manila, 600 feet to th pound: Pure 

 Manila, 650 feet. See your local I H C dealer at once and let him know how much you will need. If you want more facts on binder 

 twine, write the International Harvester Company of America at nearest branch house for information.
