Cover of an advertising catalog featuring a color chromolithograph illustration of a farmer working in a field with a grain binder. A young man holds a parasol for two women standing on either side of him. They are on other side of a fence watching a man working in a field with a team of horses pulling an "All Steel Binder." The caption reads: "How large is this field, Mr. Farmer? Bout 25 acres and I reckon it'll look derned empty by sundown." The illustration was created by Shober & Carqueville Litho Co. of Chicago.
