Mr. THoRroN BERRY--DEAR SIR II procured from
you Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
it two harvests in cutting my grain and grass. Its
performance, take pleasure in saying, fully equaed
my expectations. The Reaper did its duty admirably,
even tangled heavy wheat which, when not entirely
fat, cut il clean and smooth that raker with an
hours experience could place the sheaves snugy,
careful binding enabled me to dispense entirely with
the use of my CLEANER.
The mower also did its duty we-my meadows be-
ing covered principally with mixture of clover and
timothy, the work was executed up to every reasona
BILE expectation. ROBERT GUr.
Mr.. THoRToH BERRY-SIR:-We are free to certify
that we used Mannys Reaping Machine portion of
last harvest and it failing to perform expected,
procured of you one Of McCormick's which performed
in all respects to entire satisfaction, and especially
in down and lodged grain it far surpassed the Nanny

Mr.. BElRY-DEAR SIR:-I think it due you to say
whether or not approve of the Mccormick Reaper
and Mower. unhestatingly say it is the best ma
chine have seen. l was of opinion that the Nanny
machine was the best until gave both fair trial.
am now free to say that there is 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-Msnny's did make their necks 90 sore

The Mccormick scythe is much the easiest ground the
