The Universal Bean Harvester. 
The profit derived from the growing 
of beans depends largely upon quick 
and efficient methods of harvesting 
them. W hen bean s a re ri pe, j ust right, 
and the weather favorable, harvesting 
should be done in a hurry. The quality— 
the bright and salable condition of the 
beans, depends upon that. All hand 
labor should be displaced with im¬ 
proved machinery. 
This Machine 
Harvests Beans 
in the most rapid and approved 
manner. The tempered steel 
blades cut off the stems of two 
rows of beans at one passage 
and the steel rod cleaners sepa¬ 
rate all dirt, etc., and deliver 
the two rows of beans into one 
long continuous windrow’. 
The Harvester is mado of best 
material throughout, well painted and varnished and will last indefinitely. Pole has a special shifting 
lever which enables the maehine to work on hillsides ns well ns on the level. A long evener and neck- 
yoke are furnished with each machine. We Guarantee the Harvester In every respect. Ask your local 
dealer for the Universal Bonn Harvester. If not found there, write us direct and we will see that you 
are supplied. Write at once l or catalogue and prices, and be informed on the subject.
