HAVING LEARNED rRaw VA
IL RIOUS sources that II, adwell & Co., Of this
city, are endeavoring to produce the impression In
the farming community that am manufacturing the
Nanny Machine, am once more in the field to as
sert that al such representations are unmitgated
falsehoods.
am not building the Nanny Machine, nor infring-
ing on the Nanny Patent, nor do intend to do either
on the other hand, am building a Machine Of my
own invention, far SUPERIOR called the
California Combined Reaper g Mower,
Wholly unlike the Nanny Machine, except in the use
ot the knife, which there is not now, nor has there
ever been patent.

they might the more securely and successfnlv go
tlnue TO monopoize the agricultural trade and keen

IhE GREAT SECRET OF THEIR USscRUPULoUs AND Rx-
| TRAoRDNARY WARFARE upon me at this particular
time Is that as the for selling has commenced
ue! Detn 70 leei as wei as see, that my CALIFOR-
| MA COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER Is a decl-
ded success; and that unless they can intmidate ne
farmer, and force him to buy from them at greater
cost, machines much inferior TO mine they will .
Obliged to hold large stock over for next wear. n
unpleasant S truly but Fate decrees that they mu.
"grin and bear it."
Persons who threaten prosecutions would be mueh
better employed in actually prosecuting and estab-
fishing the truth OF their assertions than hy sending
their hrengs and secret circulars snd letters
out the country, to poison the public mind with sto-
ries KNOWN TO DE FALSE.
Why don't they prosecute me, and let the farmers
aloneY They know full well that they can maintain
no action As | said Above, they find the "BIUFP
GAME" more successful with the farmer than with me
and consequently the Of their operations this
year has been transferred from this cy to the farmer
in the country.
