Nc cORAICK'S
COMBINED
REAPING AND MOVING
MACHINE Z.
IMPROVED FOR 1853.

APERS THIS world-renowned Machine
II is again offered to the Farm
ers Of Montgomery county, as be-
yond doubt the very best and most
thoroughly efficient and reliable
Reaping and Moving Machine in
APERS the world. Each succeeding years
experience. as it is brought more
in contact with the various other
APERS machines, has so tended to this
conclusion until it has now become
A FIXED FACT.
APERS II is perfectly simple and well
proportional, having weight and
strength where they should be-
APERS The side draft is now as nearly
done away with as it can be in any
good machine.
APERS The Position of the Raker in this
machine is the only right one, be-
cause the freight Of tie man is upon
APERS the main acheel, where it should be,
adding just so much 10 its posoer,
and where there is strength in the
APERS machine to carry this additional
weight. When the raker is placed
behind on the platform, as in Man.
IPERS ny's and some other reapers, it is
SO much weight taken off the main
wheel, where it is important, and
IPERS placed upon the weaker part of the
machine, to be borne by the small
wheel and platform, increasing
4PERS greatly the liability to rack ard
wear out the machine. This sim
gle point independently of others
IPERS equally important, will account for
the much greater reliability and
dardbility of Mccormick smachine.
IPERS which with proper care will last
% years, whilst many of its rival
machines may not be expected to
APERS do service one-fourth that time.
In raising and lowering the cut
ting apparatus, IL retains its hori-
PIERS zontal position, (which is not so in
most other machines, hence the
cutting is equally perfect at every
PIERS different height-whlst in Now
ing, by q single joint movement
the cutting bar is made to adapt
PIERS itself to the inequalities Of the
ground.
This machine is so balanced that
PIERS there is no weight on the horses
necks--a very important point.
The Angle on the fingers Or
PIERS guards admits of the sickle being
made with very slight indentations.
This popularity in shape of both
PIERS guard and sickle, in connexion
with the reap-hook edge of sickle,
enables the machine to do its work
.PERS perfectly, in all kinds of grain or
grass in every state and condition
and at any speed, without being
liable to break or gum.
IND The Rim of Main Wheel is much
wider than that of any other reap
err. This is most important, espe-
cially in wet seasons and on soft
yERS land.
The simple arrangements for pro-
tecting the cog-wheels from sand,
VERS mud and cut grass are very eff
Glen. and highly important.
The cut.of machine for 1853 is
yERS fuH sir feet The boxes are sim
plified and the plan of securing the
taps is greatly improved.
VERS Self-Rakers and other machines
do well when all things smt them.
McCormick's machine suits all
VERS states and conditions, and aIscays
does weH.
ls8- Special attention is asked
vERS tosE M'cC ormicKs T'@ U-doRSE
REAPERS 4 MOWERS for 1858.
They are in all respects the same as
yERS the 4-horse machine, but reduced
in weight, and cut full five feet
Admirably adapted for smaller
VERS farmers. Several hundred were
sold and used last year. and with
the greatest satisfaction.
vERS At the Great National Trial of
Reapers, at Syracuse, last harvest,
the U. S. National Agricultural
VERS Society awarded to Mccormick the
Gold Medal and Diploma for best
reaper after a severe contest in
VERS difficult work.
nc As heretofore, | will de
liver the machines at all stations
vERS on the lines Of Railroads and Canal,
and give personal attention to the
fitting up and seeing them under
vERS way, and every machine warrant
ed in the fullest manner.
PRrcE-Sl55, delivered in Bal
