| Title: |
The Nation's Binder |
| Description: |
Color advertising cartoon depicting Uncle Sam with arms outstretched over a Deering grain binder. Hybrids of binders by rival manufacturers are depicted on either side of the Deering machine. One machine is labeled "McWoodeye Horse Killer" - likely referring to McCormick, Wood and Buckeye machines. The other binder is labeled "Esterborne Binder and Harvester" - likely referring to Esterly and Osborne machines. Caricatures of what appear to be contemporary political figures are spread throughout the foreground, with the word "vote" appearing in a field of wheat. The original caption reads: "The Nation's Binder - the only machine that will gather the votes of the farmers and never break down. Uncle Sam (to farmers Blaine and Cleveland who are about to lose their harvest through broken machines) "Here she is Boys; the best in the Land and only one left for both of you. The one with the longest legs shall have her and you can't gather an American Crop without her." Caricatures include Blaine, Cleveland, Hendricks, Conkling, Whitelaw Reid, Edmunds, Logan, and Tilden.
