Mr.. THoRIoN BERRY-DEAR SR,-I procured from
you a Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
It two harvests in cutting my grain and grass. Its
even in tangled heavy wheat which, when not entirely
fat cut II so clean and smooth that raker with an
hours experience could place the sheaves so 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.
F Mr. THoRroN BERRY-SIR:-We are free to certify
that we used Manny's Reaping Machine portion Of
last harvest and it failing to perform as expected
procured of you one of McCormcks which performed
in all respects to entire satisfaction and especially
in down and lodged grain it far surpassed the Nanny
Machine, has strength and durability is better
adapted to all kinds of land and weather. much easier
on the horses necks-not njuring them at a; and of
equally light draught. Roa5. :. HARNsBERaER,
Z. G. MooRMAN.
Mr. BKlRY-DRAR SIR IL think it due you to say
whether or not approve of the Mccormick Reaper
and Mower. unhesitatingly say it is the best ma
chine have seen. was of opinion that the NANNY
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 more in day, with no weight on the
horses necks-Manny's did make their necks 30 sore
that they unfit for use for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scyhe is much the easiest ground the
machine easy to turn, while the Nanny is very hard
the price. would 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 nches.-
The Mccormick is made of iron and wet weather has
no effect upon it. Yours Respectfully,
