| In looking in paper few days ago, found Q

gentleman that he would undertake to give such q
certificate after taking his harvest off with the Nanny
machine and taking good care to cut bis meadow be-

Mr.. WALTER A. WooD-DEAR SIR:-I purchased
and used one of your combined machines this
was told what it would do in grass by your agent.
and thank him for perseverance, in my case, but not
before trying McCormicks combined machines having
used for the past five years it could do nothing in
my grass. tried it and gave it up Having large
amount Of hay to cut applied to your agent for one
of your machines and just time to get the last
one he had on hand. 1t has worked entirely beyond
my expectations. have used but one team, and have
moved and reaped $50 acres and the machine is as
good as new. consider the raising and lowering Of
the machine one of the greatest improvements on
reapers of this age used to carry rail on my back
when used McCormick's machine, to lift it over
stones and bitches, but that lever your machine is
worth everything. If had got it on the start
should have saved half the price of the machine.
am prepared and so are my neighbors to recon-
mend it as being the best machine in use.
