DEAR SIR-You are
aware that each ofthe subscribers purchased from
You this Spring, one OF your Grain Cutting Ma
chimes.
The man who by tho efforts Of genius or the en-
ergy of duplication, has rendered service 10 the
community, is justly entitled To tho distinction
which such resui. merits. That Your name
VIII De associated with those whose mechanical
Efforts have advanced tle interests and promoted
The convenience OF the agriculturist, we have no
doubt. our Reaper, we have no hesitation in
declaring, will rebound 10 your reputation as an
inventor of that which will DO permanently use
iul, and (Which some would greatly preier) add
much TO your pecuniaTy means. Although we
purchased This Reaper rather as experiment,
than from amy full assurance we entertained offs
capacity to perform what it had been represented
as capable OF accomplishing, we have been, OH
a TAR trial, fully pursuaded, that il will when
well made and properly tried earn for itself thai,
good opinion, which is no, often gained by certf-
Gates OF recommendation. Your Reaper with six
hands to aid, we think, will perform what4 Graders
with their eight assistants can accomplshs If
THIS be SO, every one can calculate the saving
But when we remember the Inconvenience of OH
tanning harvest hands, $50 many of our laboring
class having removed TO the West,) your machine
is not only means of saving, but source of
much comfort.-'The neat, and clean and perfect
manner, in which the Reaper discharges its du-
Ties, and so little does i, leave the field for the
ipur'tooted cleaners, that in this respect it excited
Tue admiration OF all who SAW its wonderful per-
fornancc. The simple construction of the ma
chine (Such as to excite surprise TINT it had not
sooner been discovcred,) is not,he least Of its mer-
It's. That your success, with your discovery,
may be equal to its merits is sir the wish of
