equal to, and even surprising my expectations.
The "simplicity and durability of construction
has won my highest favor, for it shows that while
great improvements have been made, the leading
principle most interesting to the purchaser, has
not been overlooked. Cleanliness of cut
have used the reaper in cutting wheat, oats,
timothy and barley, some of which was lodged,
but it cut them all to my entire satisfaction.
"Neatness of Raking '-This part is most per
feet, and men biGding for me say that they bind
much faster after this machine than after any
han d-raking machine they ever saw. The ease
with which this machine will turn a corner is

MR. f W SINNER have used one of Pal

acres per day in standing grain, and in lodged

E w. SKINNER, Esq.-Deqr Sir: l have used
the Palmer & Williams Srlf-RakiHg Reaper
purch sci of you last July and will say, if it is
not The best Reaper in the world it is certainly
the bast Lat have any o"ledge of; and
you'd cheerlulh recommend il 10 others for the
ioIi#"i Il reasons: First, of draft | think it
dr'T ia"rh ,sier than any other Reaper have
ever 1T he same width of cut. Secondly,
the -u.pic.ty aud durability Of construction.
Trudit, tie workmanship manner in which every
part OF it is built 1t is Il real pleasure 10 set up
such machinery, every part htJiug exactly, no
alteration to make. Fourthlv, for cleanness of
cut and nea ness of raking it cannot be surpass-
ed | am satisfied that one hand is saved in
binding over hand raking Reapear. Filthy,
the width of cnt, cutting full six feet / have
not tried to see how much l could cut in a day,
but think from II to Is acres with two horses,
or ! s to 20 with four horses. | never use but
two horses, and never hurry my team. One of
my neighbOrS used OF Manny's two horse
Reapers, with cut of about four feet but had
to use four horses on it. As mower think it
nearly perfect. Taking it all in all, as a Reaper
and Mower, | think it stands No l, ahead of all
| DEAR STR:-As l have used one of Palmer l.
Williams Self Rtking Reapers the past season,
and consider ii just the thing for which it was de-
signed. think it the easiest running Reaper /
have ever seen, considering the amount of labor
1t performs 1t cuts as nicely any could
desire. 1t rakes off the grain much better than
| expected | consider the chain for driving the
reel great invention, as it slips or allows
| the reel to stop. | have used the Reaper to cut
about lG5 acres of grain, and consider it about
as good as when started. There is little or no
side draft, and no weight of tongue. Any one
wishing to purchase Reaper for the next har-
vest, would recommend Palmer & Williams
Self-Rahing Reaper before any other in use.
TROY, Walworth 20, Sept l6, 1858.
f. w. SKINNER Esq Dear Sir | have used
one of your patent Seif-Raking Reapers for the
past season, and it is no more than JUST ce to
you and the inventor. to inform the publ ic Of
the simplicity and durability of your Self r aking
| Reaper. The ease Of draft and cleaEln esq of
its work, far exceeds my expectations, nd far
excels any machine that | ever saw. l have
cut thirty acres of wheat that was considerably
lodged, in one and half days, with m ddling
sized team, and it wds done to the satisfaction
ofthe owner and many Witnesses present. There
are many more qualities about your machine
that | could mention, we're this the only ore /.
| use, aud KNOWN that the public are In favor
of your machine, it needs no putting, it speaks
for itself That it has outstrpped any other
fnach ine that has been brought ito Walworlh
| county, is no mistake
