But with the record before us of the Maxwell Low-down during the harvest of 1884, " we fear no foe," and approach you for the coming harvest with tlie following guarantee: "The MAXWELL LOW-DOWN BINDER is guaranteed, the lightest draft machine in the market, as durable as any, will do equally as good work, will work on rougher ground, go through a narrower gate without change than any other, and has less parts than any machine yet produced." The following testimonials from farmers competent to judge, who have either worked machines or witnessed tests, show conclusively that the Maxwell Low-down Kinder is what it is claimed to be — A PERFECT SUCCESS. DAVID MAXWELL. riiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii * Better than with a Reaper. Drayton, August 26th, 1884. David Maxwem., Paris. Dear Sir, -Your Low-down Binder cut for me to-day five acres of wheat. It was an exceedingly rough piece oi' ground ; the lands were narrow and furrows very deep. The Binder did (irstclass work, without missing any sheaves. It was lietter done than I could do with Reaper. My small team was quite capable to do the work. Yours, truly, HUGH MONTGOMERY. A Perfect Success. Davjd Maxwell. Paris, 3rd .September, 1884. Dear .Sir, — After arranging to get your Binder this harvest, I was informed that it was a failure, and agents of other firms endeavored to (tblain my order for their machines, when you informed me you were willing to place a machine on my farm on its merits. I was satisfied, and the result I do not think can be any mor'j satisfactory to you than myself. My son, 15 years of age, and who had never previ(jusly been on a binder, worked it through the entire harvest with as much ease as a reaper or mower. I never used more than two horses, and am satisfied they worked with very little more draft than an ordinary reaper. The machine was tried on all kinds of grain and under various conditions, and the work done was something I do not think can be equalled, and I am positive cannot be excelled. 1 would have no other machine, and if your Low-down Binder is what your opposition call a failure, I may say that in any farming machinery I require I would pre- fer the failures to the successes. I can cheerhilly recommend the machine to anyone requiring a first-class Binder. Yours truly, C. BARKER. i I n n i % t % t i n 1 % 1 % i y n t i 1 i t 1 i !^ i i i 1 i i i i i i ^ i \j*s?m::53S'::^m::5«£:?3^:5«c:::^ 4. I ■^'mmmmmm-^ I DcoB not Sweat one Span of Horses. David Maxwrli., Paris. Mono Road, August, 1884. Oeak Sik, I saw your Low-down Hinder working for one hour, and ii was ho sii.iple that I fancied the machine and got it to cut ten acres of heavy oats. I did it with one span of horses and did not Hweat them. I would advise fanners to see your Binder ijefore buying. Yours truly, WILLIAM WARD. Equally good in Standing or Tanglarl Grain. David Maxwem., I'aris. I'a,iR,— T"^ - " cut forty-three acre., spring wheat, the k sheaf. On; team produced, with mai Is All that can be Desired. HULLETT, August 29th, 1884. -do- Binder I jiurchased from you is all that can be desired. I have ^, and it tlid it s]jlendidly. I have cut fall wheat, barley, oats and " heavy and somewhat lodged. It cuts clean, and binds a good ith ease, and I consider it equals the work of any binder yet ts construction. —Yours truly, P, HAWTHORN. .miers not to Buy any other. David Maxwell, Par.:; Paris, . :t September, 1884. Dear Sir, — Your Low- 1.,., mder cut for me twenty-two acres of barley, and did the work very satisfactorily. It is easily operated, light of draft, and I much prefer it to the heavy elevating maohine. I would advise farmers not to buy any other. I. L. HOWELL. Conveniently Operated. No Difticulc y passing through Gates. David Maxwell, Paris. Paris, 3rd September, 1884. Dear Sir, — The Low-down Binder I purchased from you has given me entire satislaction. Two horses worked it all harvest, and it ilid the work well. It is easier of draft than any Binder I have seen, conveniently operated, and iio ditticulty in passing through eleven feet gate. I can recommend it to intending purchasers. DAVID RUTHERFORD. id- ■^■ ^ i I M >!< ^ I Fifty Dollars the Value of any Elevator Binder he ever Ba.vr. David Maxwell, Paris. Springfield, August, 1884. Sri, — With many others I witnessed the working of your Low-down Binder, and I would not now give fifty dollars for the best elevator I ever saw. Your Low-down is so convenient for pass- ing through gates, simple and convenient to handle ; it is just what farmers want. R. E. McKENNEY. Neither Side Draft nor Weight on Horses' Necks. David Maxwell, Paris. Cali<;don Hast, August 20th, 1884. I had a trial of your Binder on my farm, and it works without a fault. There is neither side draft nor weight on horses' necks. All who witnessed it pronounced it the coming Binder. The Maxwell Low-down takes the cake. Yours truly, THOS. GOODEAVE. ^ i n V!i^im^::MSm::'M.:'M :M:^.iMiM:'M. . W^M.

I can cheerfully recommend it to intendine purchasers as light in draft, simple, easily he lied ; and taking everything into consideration. I believe it to he the most :;uitable machine for the farmer in the market. Yours truly, THOS. ARMSTRONG. One Pair of Horses Outs 40 Acres wit !i Base. DavidMaxwel Paris. London, ist Sept., 1884. Dear Sir,- Mie Low-down Binder I look on -ial from your agent, Wm. Porter, has cut about 40 acres, ana .'as given me very good satisfactio.., cutting ami binding all kinds of graii., and was worked witheas; by one pair of horses; having done the al)ove without sending for the agent or any person t<. repair. Yours truly, JOHN ABRAY, Arva Post Office. The Coming Machine. David Maxwel. Paris. ' Belmont, 1st Sept., 1884. IJEAR Sir, -The Low-down Binder taken on trial from your ag-nt, Wni. Porter cut about 40 acres of ..ifferent kinds of grain, cutting and binding to my Vitire satisfacdottj and aB who witnessed it working say it is the coming machine. It is light m dKiftVeaslly managed, simple, and easy on horses, and I would recommenfl all purchasers to see it fiefo: - buying. Yours truly, D. McPHERSON. Out 80 Acres, and the Worst Lodged Field in Oxford Oounty David Maxwei.i Paris. Blenheim, 3rd Sept., 1884. Uear SIR, -The Low-down Binder purchased from you is everything that was guaranteed, I have cut 80 acres of difierent kinds of gram, and in ail shapes. I had one field of wheat and oats, I thmk, as badly down and lodged as anything in this oounty, but your Binder was just the article to harvest it.. It is superior to any Elevator Binder built, a horse lighter in draft, and more conveniently operated. Yours truly, RANDOLPH KENNEDY. Six and Three-quarter Acres in Pour Hours. David Maxwell,, Paris. Pak,s, jrd Sept., 1884. Dear S'r,— Yjaur Low-down Binder at a test on my farm cut six and three-quarter acres in four hours. It was on a v ;ry hilly piece of land, and the work done was excellent. I think one team can handle your Binder as easily as three can any Elevator machine. Yours truly, ELVIN HILL. In a Badly Lodged Field of Oats. David Maxwell, Paris. Dear Sir,— I witnessed the working of your Low-down Binder in a bad'.y lodged field of oats on my place. It worked to perfection, and I would advise farmers to see Maxwell's Low- down Binder before buying elsewhere. Yours truly, ANDREW SMITH. Oan Out from Ten to Twelve Acres a Day with Light Team. David Maxwell, Pari.s. Si-ringkield, August, 1884. Dear Sir,— By request of y^ur agent here, Mr. R. H. Lindsay, I went to station and got your Low-down Binder to test. I had purchased a new Reaper two years ago and had no intention of buying a Binder, but I soon changed my mind after .seeing yours work. I would not be without it for a great deal more than the cost. I cut over twenty acres, and can cut from ten to twelve acres a day with my team, which does not weigh over 2,100 lbs., and drive it into the barn every night without any trouble. I would not give one hundred dollars for the best Elevator liinder made. I wish you success. You have supplied what farmers want. Yours very truly, LYMAN LJtXTER. n t i ■4 % M I I i I i i 1^ i I i i i i 'm'^m^:;:'^imm^mm^msmmm:mmmm.m^m:m^Mrm:-mmmm
