August Goth, 1858.
Having used one of Morrison's Reaper and Mower
in cutting the crop of the Messrs. Haxall Brother
this season, speak what think that said Reaper is
superior to any know OF.
It's cutting was rapid and perfectly clean. did
not time the quantity cut per hour, but feel assured
that between rise and set, with the usual dill
igence in harvest time, this machine will cut over
twenty acres with ease. used but two mules (good
sized to haul it-fOuud iteasy of draf-nght upon
the necks OF the mules-strOngly made-and in every
respect It gave entire satisfaction.
RICHMOND, Oct. 9Th, 1858.
Dear Sir: attended at several exhibitions of Nor
risons Reaper. 1t seemed to work most efficiently.
cutting and gathering clean, and always in advance
of the six eight men who were appointed to attend
it, / also consider another valuable feature connect
ed with it was the excellent material of which it was
made, not liable to get out of order, and subecting
the farmer to unnecessary delay, who is always nata
rally anxious to secure his crop.
Yours truly,
WIZ. II. HAxALL.
