Mr. THoRToN BERRY-DEAR RI procured from
you a 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 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 GUY
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 expected
procured of you of McCormicks, which performed
in all respects to our 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 injuring them atal and of
E. G. MooRMAN.
Mr.. BERRY-DEAR SIR:-I think it due you to say
whether or not approve of the Mccormick Reaper
and Mower. l 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 in day. with no weight on the
horses necks-Manny's did make their necks so sore
that they unfit for for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythe much the easiest ground. the
machine easy to turn while the Nanny is very hard
In short would rather have McCormick's at double
the prica. / 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 inches
The Mccormick is made of iron, and wet weather has
no effect upon IT, Yours Respectfully, pAnx1ss
