TWO IMPORTANT ADDITIONS. 
THE LIGHT SINGLE REAPER. 
This new Reaper weighs only 750 pounds, cuts a full swath, and is strong and substantial In every respect. 'While the 
draft is light, the Machine is in every way adapted to difficult work, and Is capable of withstanding the severe usage to 
which a Reaper is frequently subjected. 
THE AUTOMATIC CORD BINDER. 
It can be safely said that this Binder has advanced to the highest point of perfection yet attained in binding machinery 
overcoming many of the difficulties which have been so serious in efforts heretofore made, and reducing to practical use 
a machine for binding grain. 
The CHAMPION REAPERS and MOWERS will be on exhibition this fall at most of the County, District, 
and State Fairs, and Expositions throughout the United States and the British Provinces. While examining the old 
standard machines, at the Fair, don’t fail to inquire after the new candidates for public favor.
