Mn. THoRros BsRRY-DKAR SIR IL procured from
you Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
it two harvests in cutting my grain and grass lug
performance take pleasure in saying, fully equalled
nv 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 an
hours experience could place the sheaves so snugly
careful binding enabled 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 3uf.

machine was the best until gave both fair trial.
am now free to say that there is no comparison IN
the two; the Mccormick is much more durable, cuts
standing grain the best, cuts lodged grain great
deal better cuts in days with no weight on the
horses necks--Manny's did make their necks so
that they were unfit for for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythais much The easiest ground, the
machine easy to turn, while the Nanny is very hard
In short would rather have McCormicks OF double
the price. would soy to any one wishing to pur-
