"\vm The Chatham Two-Horse Cord Binder, With New Patented Adjuslahle Deck, (see next page), THE CHATHAM FIVE-RAKE REAPER, THE CHATHAM MOWER. OKIi'-ICE AND WORKS: ADELAIDE STREET, - CHATHAM, ONT. I I I I i I I I --^ to'-^.i^ \ M 'i \ . "\ ^TO THE FARMERS^ of THE y^'^'l^'^lE present to you our Annual Circular, and from the m grand success that all our machines have obtained (especially our Two-Horse Cord Binder) in the past season, we hope foA« liberal share of your patronage. We do not say, like some other munufacturers, that because we are the largest in the country you should buy from us, but we do say that we are growing very fast and by producing machines superior to all others, we will con- tinue to grow. We have now;in course of construction over 500 Binders beside our Reapers and Mowers, and hope from the unparal- elled success of our machines ir. thr Just harvest to maintain the proud position honorably won in 1 884. We refer you to the several Binder trials of last year, and in every case where the Chatham com- peted the award was in our favor. Our aim will always be to keep in advance of the times and with improvements that will be 6f real benefit to the farmers. For the last two seasons we have seen the necessity of an adjustable binder table that the fanner can .set so as to meet all the diff'erent kinds and conditions of grain. We know all the difficulties to be encountered in going into a field of grain when part is standing and part lodged or, as sometimes is th^ case, the grain is short and thin and again very rank. .wj liUillll* '•«»■ Our adjustable table meets and overcomes all these difficulties, makes the machine more compact, can lie easily operated by a Imy ten years old ; driven through barn doors, or gates; can \ie set to work in a field with the greatest Pt;se and without the driver having to remove a single Violt or leaving his seat. We cannot here explain this great improvement but request you to call at the factory, or, on our nearest agent, examine for yourselves and l)e convinced that the Chatham Two-IJorse Cord Binder is far in advance of anything in the market If there be no agent in your locality, write RuMell«b Dunn, No. 9^ Market St., Hamilton, Managers of Agencies, who will gladljj^jjive any information' required. "*^ ' '' ""^ Before giving our victories or testimonials, we wish to say that we have secured a number of valuable patents on our Binder and Har- vester, among which are, the patents covering the adjustable table and fold also the patent on our bracket, which we found to be absolutely necessary; also the right to remove our knife (in a single frame bind- er) the same as in any ordinary reaper. In short, ours is The ONL Y BINDER in existence on which the driver can sit on his seat and raise or lower both ends of the harvest- er ; can shift the binder ; can shift the butter ; can lock the harvester down ; can tilt the harvester to take up down grain ; and above all can adjust the tables to suit any condition of grain. These great improvements place our Hinder far ahead of all competitors and with all, our Binder is the lightest in weight, lightest in draught because the simplest ; dont requiie two or three men to fold it to go through a gate or bam door. Farmers look to your interests and you will buy a Chatham. Order early or you may be disappointed in getting a Chatham Binder as many were in 1885. We also build our Five-Rake Chatham Reaper and Chatham Mower, both of which have made tor themselves a name at the top of the class. They are simple, strong and light We have no hesitation in saying never before has there been a more complete class of implements presented to the farmers.

V. THE CHATHAM VICTORIOUS EVERYWHERE. THE OTTAWA TRIAL. This was a regular match held on the farm of J. R. Booth, Esq., Mr. Booth and his foreman acting as judges. Invitations were given to all. The following mode their appearance and competed : The McOormick, by John Elliott & Son, lioudon ; The North Am- erican, by the North American Ca, London ; Binder made by Frost & Wood, Smith's Falls ; and the Chatham. This was a severe test in badly lodged grain, but the Chatham did its work so well that the judges had no trouble in deciding, and Mr. Booth bought the Chat- ham there and then. ORMSTOWN (QUEBEC) TRIAL This was a trial gotten up by the farmers of the County of Huntingdon. The following Binders competed : The Little Brant- ford, mode by Harris, Son & Co.; The Patterson, made by Patterson Bros., Patterson ; The Smith's Falls, by Frost & Wood ; and The Chatham. Judges were appointed as follows : Thos. Drysodole, Esq., Donald Finlayson, Esq., Robert Mcintosh, Esq., and R Dixon, Esq. The Chatham got the first, and was purchased on the spot by Mr. Sangster. TRIAL ON MR. McLEOD'S FARM. TOWNSHIP OF KEN- YON, CO. GLENGARRY. This was a trial for the sale of a Binder. All were invited, but only the Smith's Falls and Chatham made their appearance. In this match, as with all others in competition with The Smith's Falls, The Chatham had a walk over, there being nothing worth consider- ing an opposition. rip!^ X / TRIAL AT VERNON, CO. RUSSELL. The Chatham victorious over the Elliott and Massey. All prcBont were unaiiiiuous in the decision that the Chatham was far ahead of both competitors. THE CHATHAM BEATS THE DUNDAS. Ombmee, July 20th, 1884. Charles SuAW, Esq., writes as follows: — "I, the undersigned, beg leave to state that at the earnest solicitations of myself and a large number of farmers in this vicinity, who desired to see the merits of the Chatham Binder tested with the Dundas Binder, that we got the agent to allow The Chatham to have a trial, which proved, on trial, to be all that's claimed for it, viz.: Simple in construction, light in draft, and the neat and clean manner it does the work. I am confident it would please and satisfy the most skeptical. I had previously signed an order for the Dundas machine which I tried to cancel. In justice to the Chatham Manufacturing Co'y I can only say I much prefer their machine and consider it the best I have seen yet. I am also confident that a very large majority of those who witnessed the trial would prefer the Chatham Binder. I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully, \/^ CHARLES SHAW.

Dkar Sibs. — We the undersigned were present and saw the Chatham Binder working in a field of Mr. Wm. Solomon Arnold's, near liouisville, in the worst lodged and tan^^led wheat we ever saw. It did its work far better than we ever expectsd any binder could do ; going ri|;ht around and taking everything up clear and making a first-class job. Other builders were invited and promised to come, but failed. IRA DEWITT, JAMES A. MERRITT W. J. ALLEN, ADAM ARNOLD, S. A. ARNOLD, R. J. McKENZIE, H. E. CHATTERSON. ROLAND WILLESTON.

The Toronto in atationary on the main axle, no that you have no way of railing or lowering but by the tilt, which I think, a very great objection in nhort or baiily lodged grain.

To the Chathum Harrcsttr Manufacturing Coinpany. Gents.— I have much pleasure in stating that the Binder I purchased from yoiu* Agent, J. P. Williamson of Orono, has given me entire satisfaction. I went to see other makes of binders work, but they did not suit me. Your Agent when going to Mr. A. Henry's, past my place, told me to come along, I did so with him, and as soon as I saw Mr. Henry's stait, I concluded it was the machine I wanted ; I gave my order that evening but had to drive all the way to Port Perry to get it, a distance of thirty miles. I am about done cutting, t have cut some very short barley and very long oats, and I think your machine is the best in the market, and all my neighbors that have seen it are of the same opinion. One team can handle it easily, and the work it has done cojld not be beaten. Wishing you every success, I am yours, &c. , JOSEPH SIMPSON, Lot 20. Con. ('., Clark Township. Chatham Harvester Manufacturing Company. August 22nd, 1884. I'EAK SiKS. — Having bought one of your Two- Horse Cord Binders from your Agent at Orono, Mr. J. P. VVilliamson, has given entire satisfaction. I cut ten acres of wheat in six and a half hours with one team, one horse weighing 1210 lbs. the other 1075 lbs. with the harness. I believe your machine to be lighter of draught and do its work c<|ual to any other in this section. After giving my order I Wiis almost discouraged, other agent^ telling nie I \\\i\ bought the wnmg macliine, but after finishing my harvest and cutting some for three of my neighbors, 1 am so well satisfied with the niiichine, I am confident farmers buying cannot do better than buying the Chatham ('ord Binder.

Dear Sirs— I am sorry to say that I did not write sooner, but can tell you better now because I have got all my crops cut. Your machine worked with the greatest satisfaction one could wish for, we could cut about ten acres a day, it work- ed better than any self-binder I ever saw. PETER McCALLUM. OUIDA. Chatham Harvester Company. Gents — The Cord Binder that I purchased from you this season has given me entire satisfaction. I have used it in all kinds of cutting, short barley, long and short wheat and oats, also on rough and smooth land and it did its work better than I thought it possible for a binder to do. I did all my cutting with a small team, I would not like to go back to the old reaper again. Wishing you every success I re- main yours, JAMES McCONACHIE. Cranston P. O. , Ont.

SMYTH, Stanley, Sept. lath, 1884 ChaUiam Harvefter Manufarturing Company, Gentlemen— We bought ope of your 2horse Cord Binders this year and mast say that it gave entire satisfaction, cutting the crop on three hundred acres without the slighest break or stoppage. We had a field of mixed peas^ oat^ and barley, in which were sown two bushels of peas to the acre, this we cut and bound without the least trouble. One field was so rough and stoney that we had to work the machine 13 inches high. We also cut some western corn, we don't care in what shape grain is lying or tangled ve can take it off in ^oixl style. After examining the different other machineH in this district we believe the Chatham two-horse Cord Binder is the most easily manipulated, and simplest machine in the market Wishing you every success we are yours, A.
