Champion Harvesting Machinery
| Inside spread of 4-page brochure featuring illustrations accompanying blocks of text explaining the features of Champion machines. The top left shows a man in a field pausing in his work to pour liquid into a cup, with the text: "The wide awake young farmers are all warm friends of the Champion. They are progressive and the Champion is the only machine that meets their wants. The Champion has no enemies except Agents of cheap made harvesting machines, they all hate the Champion, it is in their way and that forces them into misrepresentation to push their cheap made machines on the farmer." An illustration at the bottom left, of a man leisurely enjoying a pipe while reading a paper, includes the text: "All farmers who have bought Champion machines are our best friends, they have the best machine and are not worried by breaking down and heavy expense for repairs." The facing page on the right has three illustrations, and the text at the top reads: "That the Champion mowers, reapers & binders are the best, most durable and cheapest machines made, is admitted by all who are intelligent, truthful and disinterested." |
