the two; the Mccormick is much more durable, cuts
standing grein the BEST cuts lodged grain great
deal better cuts more In dsy, with no weight on the
horses pecks-Manny's did make their peeks so sore
that they were unfit for for weeks after harvest
The Mccormick scyhe 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-
