"Neatness of Raking"-This part is most per
feet, and men biz ding for me say that they bind
| much faster after this machine than after any
hani-raking machine they ever saw. The ease
| with which this machine will turn corner is
most satisfactory, not requiring cradle in the
! field after the grain is once cut rouud
Yours truly, r. CHENEY.
! Mr.. E. W SKINNER:-I have used one of Pal
mer & Williams Selt-Raking Reapers, with two
| horses, and am confident that in standing grain
that two horses will pull it all day with ease 1t
is constructed simply but substantially, Our
| Reaper has cut one hundred aud fifty acres this
season, and we have not been to one dimes
expense for repairs. ] can cut heater and more
ground in day than any other Reaper in use
and in regard to rakng, no har d-raking can
equal it in standing or lodged grain. We cut II
acres per day in standing grain, and In lodged
grain 10 acres, when cut way only.
We cut one hundred and fifty acres this harvest
We sometimes worked two and sometimes four
horses. hive no Moving Attachment bit
can recommend what | have got with clear con-
MEssRs. PALMER & WILLIAMS Cents We
| have used your reaper for the harvest of 1855
! and can truly recommend it as the best now in
use. 1t cuts clean and rakes it off better than
it can be done by hand. The machinery is very
strong and not liable to break. 1t is the easiest
running Reaper in use. We have cut from
| grain this season with p. q WIS SelfRaking
| Reaper, and 1t did the work to my entire salts
| faction. The amount of team used was one span
| of light horses; and there was neither side
draft nor weight upon the neck yoke, they hand
! led it with perfect ease About one half of nv
! grain was badly lodged, but the machine cut it
| clean and the rake laid it in gaveIs in such
perfect manner that each of my men bound 8
| acres per day. A man can bind 8 acres cut by
| this machine in the same time required to bind
my old Reaper | found that | could do better
work and do it easier. | cut with the old Reap
er about six hundred acres, and then sold it for
| SS25 and bought new one. l am perfectly sat-
isfcd with the simplicity of iskng off and ease
| of draft. ! cut from ten to fifteen acres per dav
! with two teams, and might cut more. The ma
| chine combined works to a perfect charm. | be-
| Setf-Raking Reaper, with Moving Attac hmert,
and consider it ahead Of any other Reaper that l
am acquainted with, for ease of draft, doing
more work with the same power, than any am
! acquainted with, cuts cleaner ard rakes neat
| leaving my fields much cleaner than l ever had
| them before when using the handwriting Reaper
| | have cut twelve acres per day with one team
| and consider it no harGer than blowing two and
| a half acres per day. ! have cut ninety acres
in all, reapng only for myself The mower

| have used your Reaper the past harvest, and
| consider it, TO t. ease OF draft, simplicity
and durability OF construction, cleanness of Cut,
! and neatness CT rakmg, great Improvement
over anything that have used or seen. / con-
| slider il Il saving tn, handwriting of twelve
| shtllings per day, and does the work better 1t

| have cut 20 acres per day. | cut in all 10
acres. | like your machine well that | would
! not take one OF the hand kers gilt and use
| il until 1t was worn out, if ! could get one Of
my brother farmers, that if they want Reapirg
Machine that will pay them, lay aside their old
| back breakers and purchase of Palmer &
| Williams Scf-Raking Reapers For my own
part would not give this ole for two of any
! other reaper | ever saw, and We have almost
every kind in this vicinity. 1t is unnecessary
ct NE 10 say anything in its commentator, but
| | would say that | have cut over two hundred
acres of grain az grass, and the greater part of
the time have worked only TWO horses, and |
! expect to cut fifty acres more before the wild
! grass is dead. For of draft and durability
| Cf construction neatness Of cutting and raking
it excels all OILERS that have any knowledge of
and as Moving Machine it can't be beat in
these diggiugs. | don't think that there will by
any other kind of machine sold in this vicinity
for the next harvest, but Palmer e. Williams
Self-Raking Reaper with Moving Attachment.
| f w. SKINNER, Esq.-Dedr Sir: I have used
the Palmer & Williams Self RakiRg Reaper
purchased OF you last July and will say if it is
l
the bsst that | have any knowledge of; and
would cheeriully recommend it to others for the
following reasons First ease of draft I think it
| draws much easier than any other Reaper have
ever seen of the same width Of cut. Secondly,
the simplicity ard durability of construction.
Thirdly the workmanNlikemanner in which every
part OF it is built. IL is real pleasure to set up
such machinery, every part fitting exactly, no
| alteration to make. Fourthly, for ceanness of
| cut and nea'ness of rakng it cannot be surpass-
| ed l 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 | could cut in a day.
| but think from II to Is acres with two horses
or Is to 20 with four horses. / never use but
| two horses, and never hurry my team. One of
my neIghbors used one 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 Reaper
. and Mower, think it stands No. l. ahead of all
DEAR IR:-As / have used one of Palmer Il
Williams Self Raking Reapers the past season,
and consider it just the thing for which it was de-
signed. think it the easiest runLing Reaper
have ever seen, considering the amount of labor
IL performs. 1t cuts as nicely any one could
desire. 1t rakes off the grain much better than
expected. l consider the chain for driving the
reel great invention, as it never slips or allows
the reel to stop. | have used the Reaper to cut

as good as when started. There is little or no
side draft, and weight of tongue. Any one
whshing to purchase a Reaper for The next har-
vest, would recommend Palmer & Williams
Seh-Raking Reaper before any other in use

| E. w. SKINNER, ESQ. -Deor Sir | have used
! one OF your patent Self-Raking Reapers for the
past season, and it is no more than Justice to
/ YOU and the inventor. to inform the public of
! the simplicity and durability of yolr Self Raknc

Its work, far exceeds my expectations, and far
/ exces any machine that | ever saw. have
I cut thirty acres Of wheat that was considerably
/ lodged, in one and half days, with q niddng

/ OF your machine, it needs no putting, it speaks
