Mr.. THoRros BERRY-DEAR SIR IL procured from
you Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
it two harvests in cutting my grain and grass. its
performance take pleasure in saying, fully equaed
nv expectations The Reaper did its duty admirably,
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 snugy,
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.. THoRroN BERRY-SrR-We are free to certify
that we used Manny's Reaping Machine portion OF
last harvest and it failing to perform as we expected
procured of you one of McCormicks which performed
in all respects entire satisfaction and especially
in down and lodged grain it far surpassed the Nanny
Machine has strength and durability, is better
adapted to all kinds of land and weather. much easier
on the horses necks-not injuring them at all and OF
equally light draught. RoBr. 5. HARSsBERaER,

| Mr.. BERRY-DRAR ri think it due you to say
whether or not approve of the Mccormick Reaper
and Mower. / unhestatingly say it is the best ma
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 comparison IN
the two; the Mccormick is much more durable, cuts
standing grain the best, cuts lodged grain great
deal better cuts more day. with weight on the
horses necks-Manny's did make their pecks SO sore
that they were unfit for use for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythe much the easiest ground the
machine easy to turn, while the Nanny is verv hard
In short would rather have McCormicks at double
the price. would say to any one wishing to pur-
chase to try both first. The beam Of the Nanny ma

The Mccormick is made of iron, and wet weather has
