Mr.. THoRToN BERRY-DEAR SRI procured from
you Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
it two harvests in cutting my grain and grass Its
performance take pleasure saying, fully equalled
even in tangled heavy wheat, which, when not entirely
fat, cut it so clean and smooth that raker with an
hours experience could place the sheaves so snugly
careful binding enabled me to dispense entirely with
the use of my cleaner.
The mower also did its duty well-my meadows be-
ing covered principally with mixture of clover and
timothy the work executed up to every reasona-
BILE expectation. ROBERT GUY.
Mr.. THoRToN BERRY-SIR:-We are free to certify
that we used Manny's Reaping Machine portion of

in down and lodged grain it far surpassed the Nanny

Mr.. BERRY-DEAR SIR:-I think it due you to say
whether or not approve of the Mccormick Reaper

chine have seen. | was of opinion that the Nanny
machine was the best until gave both fair trial.
am now free to say that there is no comparison IN
the two; the Mccormick is much more durable, cuts
standing grain the best, cuts lodged grain great
deal better, cuts day, with no weight on the
horses necks-Mannys did make their necks so sore
that they were unfit for for weeks after harvest.
The Mccormick scythe is much the easiest ground the
machine easy to turn, while the Nanny is very hard.
