A Wood Frame Harvester will not bend out of line when it comes 
into contact with an irresistible force. Or if it should yield it will at 
Ce spring back to its original shape. Steel under like circumstances will bend, and when the 
steel frame of a Binder is once sprung it remains bent until straightened at the shop, or is replaced 
by a new one. In order to give the requisite strength to a Steel Frame Machine, the weight of the 
machine must necessarily he increased over the wood parts. If this is questioned, let the farmer 
take the parts of steel substituted for wood in the so-called Steel Binders and weigh them. He will 
find that steel is the heavier. Or if it is not, it will be found to lack the required strength. Then, 
to test the strength, put the wood and steel in a clamp under equal pressure, and there will he no 
difficulty in the farmer deciding to his own satisfaction without the aid of any smooth-tongued 
agents.
