NTE take pleasure in announcing to the Farmer. and
w Grass growers Of Sandusky county, Ohio that we
have made ample arrangements TO supply all with this
rvaled machine who may favor with their orders the
coming harvest The Importance economy of cutting
crops by machinery is settled point with every intelligent
farmer and therefore requires no argument the enIy
question is which is the best machine and il of this we
wish TO speak.
The inventor OF the Ohio mower, seeing the many oh
econs to all the mowers before the public has for the
last three years abored asduouly sparinp no skill or
pense TO overcome those objections which he has
friends During the short time it has been before the
public 1t has earned for itself reputation OF which the
inventor and manufacturers justly be proud and met
with series of unprecedented in the history
agricultural machineiy; pleasing evidence of which
we will state that although the last the first harvest
they offered for SALE vet notwithstandno Ave hnn
dred built by the subscribers the demand could not
be supplied, since last harvest number OF improve
greater strength and durability and II fact estab
shea beyond all controversy with those who have
thing In the grass-cutter line invented.
The points Of excellence and incompatible advantage,
over other machines consists in the following:
lstIn hanging the cuterbar the frame of the ma.
chine by hinge universal joint to allow il of H.

and durable.

ceases TO vbrae hence can at any moment be
back as readily as empty cart.
7h-!t requires but moment to the cutter-bar
and by placing upon the machine the whole can be

The above are few Of the advantage sclaimed for the
Ohio Mower, and will simply add one of the many
tiacates which will speak for ITSELF
