The New McCormickDeering Binder - Don’t take the chance of a brtakdown or steady loss of high priced grain this season. Harvest this year’s crop with a brand new AlcCormick-Deering grain binder. How provoking it is when the old binder gives out in the midst of the haiwest and more especially when it is of an obsolete type with the repairs miles away. Trade it in on a new McCormick-Deering and save much high priced grain. We have a full line of repairs. We will be glad to show you over one of these grain, labor and time-savers and point out th e features that make such a binder the logical purchase for you.
