FARMERS 
Swearing Allegiance 
TO THE 
BUCKEYE! 
I f *1 , 
The BUCKEYE is emphatically THE MOST ECONOMICAL BINDER MANU¬ 
FACTURED. The Knotter is constructed with a swinging disc, so tnat it can use a low 
grade of twine, as well as the higher grades. All steel machines with so-called “simpli¬ 
fied knotters” lack as broad capacity in this particular. The faulty construction of all 
steel machines has indue'o 
claim, are for the purpose? 
facturers themselves in 
'«ir manufacturers to offfer new attachments, which, they 
ireaking the Twine Trust, but really to aid the said manu- 
a k. iga few extra dollars into their pockets at the expense of 
the farmer. The BUC, * - iS? fi presents no old wire binding device, or header or hand 
binding attachments w cost the farmer more at the end of the season than if he had 
used the highest price ae. The Buckeye, with its COMBINATION OF WOOD 
AND STEEL AND ^ ,’5 .J, the three essential elements of LIGHTNESS, STRENGTH 
AND DURABILIT't , *omplete and perfect in itself. There is no extra charge for its 
knotter with swingii o 4 e. The BUCKEYE is endorsed by the leading manufacturers 
of wagons and cars «£ United States, and thousands of honest sons of toil throughout 
the civilized world cT ^ illing to swear to itB general excellence. The BUCKEYE BIND¬ 
ER and the BUCF^ , MOWER are a pair of machines which will render their pos¬ 
sessor contented ana aJtppy. If the farmer desires to break the Twine Trust let him buy 
the BUCKEYE.
