THIS IMPORTANT LABOR-SAVING IMPLEMENT IS NO"W BEING BUILT FOR THE FOURTH 



HARVEST. 



During the last three Harvests we have worked it upon nearly all the different styles of Reapers in use in 



all kinds of grain, and under every variety of circumsiances in which such an implement 



could be placed and have never failed to demonstrate that 



ONE MAN COULD BIND THE REAPER SWATH AS PAST AS CUT. 



ITS RECEPTION AT THE DIXON TRIAL. 



^^- The eager, pressing throng, gave ample ample reverberating evidence of their approbrtion, and 

 anything I can do to further your worthy efforts, shall be willingly done. — Extract from a private letter to 

 K8 from the Hon. H. W. VanEpps, President of the J. S. A, S. 



Jl^" It drew the attention from everything else, and when it first started into the grain the crowd could 

 not be restrained from rushing after and almost over it. — From the Prairie Farmer. 



_^®- The great feature of the day, which never failed to draw the crowd, was the Grain Binder of "W. 

 W. Burson. — Chicago Triiune.
