McCORMICK'S REAPER.

VIE undersigned returned, & snort tlmc since,
i from the Northwestern country having lcl
Virginia in The latter part OF June last, 10 attend
to the introduction of his Reaper III this vast Ic-
gion. He had machines in operation, during the
last harvest, in Western New York, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri, and he has the
satisfaction 10 say, without failure, and with the
most perfect success. Machines we've sent also
to Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, (hy
way Of New Oreans,) but they did no, reach
their destination until too late for harvest.
After succeeding, by sales and contracts, in
making arrangements for the extensive nlroduc-
ton OF the Reaper in most parts OF this great
country, for the next harvest, (at one point Gin
cinnati the manufacture Of 30 machines has
been contracted for-50 for Virginia, which State
has been sold-and 300 for distribution in Ohio
and elsewhere,) The undersigned returns 10 the
"Old Dominion" with cordial greeting; and, with
his Acknowledgements for the liberal patronage
with which he has heretofore been favored, and
promising 10 strive moIe and more 10 merit it, by
building improved and superior machines OF best
materials, he announces again tn the public,
that he continues 10 manufacture his Reaper on
the same terms as heretofore, viz 800 al The
manuiactorv, or $sl05 al Richmond, al four months
from harvest, including an extra blade, (boh war
ran;ed good,) &c, warranted in every respect, as
usual Al $sll0, The Reaper can he sent 10 most
parts of Maryland, and some pats Of Pcnnsylva-
MIA.
From The almost universal satisfaction, not 10
say delight, which has been given By This ma
chine, and from lis having been diiiuscd over
most parts of Virginia, the undersigned could not
very well publish all the certificates Of its salts
iactory performance, which he could obtain, and
cannot suppose ii ncccssarg 10 publish many in
addition 10 those which have already appeared in
the Richmond papers Is reputation has been
sustained, increased, and greatly extended by
another wears test; and, ii is believed, that no
new and important lahor-saving machine has ever
been introduced into this country with less diff
guilty. and which has given more general and last
ing satisfaction to purchasers, than this since of
tering tito the public. Many large farmers, after
trying one, ordered others Immediately; and many
stating, that, in cutting single harvest, their ma
chimes had paid for themselves or would do SO in
cutting 100 acres OF wheat.
A good number of certificates were published
in the Richmond Wing ami Enquirer about the
close of the last harvest Of which were those Of
Judge S,anarl, Corbin Warwick, Esq, William
Cali, Esq, and Col 7. J. Randolph each Of
whom expressed an expectation OF wanting ano-
Their machine for the next halvcst-and a consi-
derahlc number have been procured since, few
of which are hereto sualoined.
As many orders have been received for the
Reaper, and the demand for the next harvest pro-
misses 10 be considerable, it is very desirable, and
NAV be necessary, that persons wanting machines
should order soon. The undersigned could have
sold several more tor the last harves, il he had
had them made. When persons want machines,
therefore, orders should hot be deferred.
The South side OF James river, and Of the Blue
Ridge, and few counties West OF Roanoke, has
been scldto Col NJ. Tu,wiler, OF Fluyanna: Hen
rico, Charles City, James City, New kent ard
Gloucester counties have been sold 10 Iabcz Par
ker, Esq, of Richmond Clarke, Warren, Fredcr-
ick Berkeley, Jefferson. Fauquier, LouIoun and
Fairfax counties have been sold to James NJ.

known to the undersigned, succeeded well in the
last harvest with the Reaper.

father,) will be associated with him in The manu-
lacture of the Reaper, address X. & G. H. Me-
