soy that this machine EXCELS ALL OTHERS greatly

get out of order in durability, in in operating
In the quantity Of grain win cut and the excellent
manner In which II performs its work.

WE DESIGN MAKING THE BEST MACHINE OF
THE KIND EVER OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.
This machine combines many useful improvements
and was pronounced by the Committee the greatest
invention of the kind. One of the above mentioned
cut, last season, over
1000 Acres OF Grain,
And the expense of repairs did not exceed TWENTY,
DOLLARS.
So as this great labor saving machine is known
It cannot fail to take the place of all other machines
OF the kind. Mr. Peck has displayed great ingenuity
and judgment, the advantages of which every farmer
should avail himself of, and We believe that the COM
munity at large viii be much benefited.
We have already received, through Mr. Peck from
those who saw them in operation last season, orders
for nine machines.
