Mr. THoRroS BERRY-DEAR SIR IL procured from
you Mccormick Reaper and Mower and have used
it two harvests in cutting my grain and grass. II:
performance, take pleasure in saying fully equaiied
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 me to dispense entirely with
the use of my CLEANER.
The mower also did its duty well-my meadows be.

horses necks-Mannys did make their necks so sore
that they were unfit for use for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scythe is 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 price, would soy to any one wishing to pur-
chase to try both first. The beam of the Nanny ma.
