Man operating a horse-drawn McCormick grain binder in a field. Original caption reads: "Kinsella Grain Co., Colon, Nebraska. Aug 22/99. Gentlemen — In reply to your letter asking what I think of the McCormick Binder will say, that I don't have to do but little thinking, I run a McCormick Binder on my farm for ten years cutting on an average of 70 acres per year and did not pay out one cent for repairs; it is strong and durable, light draft and does the best work in down or tangled grain of any machine I ever saw work. Yours truly, Math Rasmussen."
