Reaping and Moving Machine.

4 REAPING MACHINE being now almost
IL universally regarded as a necessary imPll-
ment to the Farmer (and not much less SO than
the Plough because Of the high price OF labor at
the season of harvest and the great Importance ot
the work to be done in q short time,) he should
investigate carefully the principles Of different
machines and points Of difference as well as the
right of the Manufacturer to sell the same.

As additional evidence of the great superiority Of this
machine, may say that in the great West and North,
where Reapers have been and still in demand by
thousands and where have sold more than 1000 Reap

the Farmers against purchasing my machines in al

farturers and suits pending against several
in Illinois, and others will be sued unless they make
fair reparstion for the past, and dcsist for the future.
The first premiums of the States of Penns lvania New
