Minnie Harvester Co., Indianapolis, Indiana.
Gentlemen:—I bought of E. W. Ford & Son, one of your latest Ohain
Drive, Grass Twine Binders. Have finished my wheat ai*4 baye saved more
than half the cost of cutting by using the grass, twiue which I find equal to, if
not better for tying than sisal or manila. The binder does perfect work, runs
light and will handle heavy, 4ow1* tangled grain equal to any Binder on the
jniU'kpt* * Yours Truly,

Gentlemen;—! bought of E. W. Ford & Son of Saline. Mich., one of your
latest improved Chain Drive, Glass Twine  Binders.     We are  highly pleased jtl,*& power,
with the work it does.   Ties perfect with the Grass Twine, runs light and is ii\\
every way just what you cla'iu for it.    Grass T"'ine is all right.     Wishing you
success. Yours Very Truly

Minnie Harvester Co., Indianapolis, Indiana.
Gentlemen:—I bought one of your Chain Drive, Grass Twine Binders of
E. W. Ford & Son, Saline, Mich. Have cut 16 acres of wheat. In justice to
the "Minnie Binder," I must say I think it the best Binder on the market,
light draft, no weight on horses neck3 and no side draft. It ties tight, makes a
nice bundle and compresses-and discharges the"* bundles easily. Grass Twine
is all right, it makes a good band, better than sisal or manila, at more than
one third less price. Anj one in need of a Binder will not make a mistake by
buying a "Minnie."  "- Tours Truly

Gentlemen:—I bought of E W. Ford & Son of Saline, Mich., one of your
latest improved. Chain Drive, Grass Twine Binders, and have to-day given it a
severe test in green ryo.     It positively  ties all bundles with  Grass Twine.
This Binder ties tight, discharges easily and is everything you claim for it.

Virginia's "Greatest Sons."
The state of Virginia has selected
George "Washington and Robert E.
Lee as her two greatest sons, whose
statues should be placed in statuary
hall at Washington. When the memory of the civil war is a little older
men will wonder that Patrick Henry,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and
James Monroe should all have been
passed over for Robert E. Lee.
It's like a "dip in tbe fountain of
youth." Touches the cheek so gently

as the H., S. & M.'.' But why buy an imitation, when you can
get the real article. It" costs no more, and the workmanship,
. linings and trimmings are much better,
