being all mado ahko and of the same material, are necessarily worth
tho Nirao money, henco the company must ask nil people the same
price. Iho price of a McCormick machine has no more to do with
that of any other binder or mower than it has with tho price of bicy
cles. Pleaso bear this point m mind. -
McCormick makes his own machines; tho other companies
mnko theirs. J. hoy do not compare notes as to the cost of tho differ
nnt machines, nnd only do so in relation to tho SELLING PHICE
and guago their price by thoir ability to get orders that wo would
surely got if thoy would put the same price, on their goods as wo do on
ours. If their machine cost them as much money as tho McCormick
does to build, they would surely ask tho samo prico, as thero is no
company on earth tlmt can build machines any cheaper or hotter than
lho McCormick Harvesting Machine Co. build thoirs.
If you havo not bought a McCormick, you should place your
order at once with your nearest agent for onb of the McCormick mach
ines the best harvester and binder that McCormick over built, and a
machine of which wo aro all justly proud.
Reports from tho southern harvest fields aro most flattering and
encouraging, showing that tho competition only did business whore
we were SHORT OF MACHINES and couldn't till orders . Thfe Zt
vinces us and should convince you, that tho McCormick machino soils
on its merits nnd not on price, which is guuged by productions of oth
er iminuincturers, and as history usually repeats itself as tho harvest
moves north, it might bo well for you to place your order at once, as
wo-will very likely havo to-fttco a shortage in Nebraska and elsewhere.
J t might strike you when you need your machine tho -worst, "First
como must bu first served," If you havo already placed your order,
you should feel happy over it and pay no attention to any talk dven
you by a competitor with lho idea of making you dissatisfied vith
your purchase. Wishing you every success, wo romain
