Mr. THoRrox BERRY-DEAR SIR II 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 equalled
my expectations The Reaper did its duty admirably,
even in tangled heavy wheat which, when not entirely
fat, cut it so clean and smooth that raker with
hours experience could place the sheayes 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 was 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
procured of you of McCormck's, which performed
all respects entire satisfaction and especially
in down and lodged grain 1t far surpassed the Nanny
Machine, has more strength and durability, is better
adapted to all kinds of land and weather. much easier
on the horses necks-not injurng them at all; and Of
equally light draught RogT =. HARNsBERGER,
H. G. MooRnAN.
Mr. BRRRY-DEAR SIR:-I think 1t due YOU to say
whether or not approve OF the Mccormick Reaper
and Mower 1 unhesatingly say 1t is the best ma
chine have seen. | was of opinion that the mapay
machine was the best until gave both fair trial.
am free to say that there il NO 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
thai they were unfit for use for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythe is much the easiest ground the
machine easy to turn, bile the NANNY is hard
In short would rather have McUormck's at double
the price. l woulG say TO any one wishing to pur
chase to try both first The beam OF the Nanny ma.
chine, which is made of wood, sprung three inches.-
The Mccormick is made of iron aud wet weather has
