KIRBY's
AMERICAN HARVESTER.

TINE SUPERIORITY OF KIRBY's AMER
i ICAN HARVESTER, over all others, will
become more obvious by looking ut its several
superior points in detail, and then considering
that all these separate excellencies combined
in one MACHINE, in the most simple and sfec-
tive manner. In some of these excellencies II il
entirely unequaed, and in none OF them Is IL sur
passed. While other MACHINES may equal it
in some of its desirable qualities, We can safely
which COMBINES ALL THE EXCELLEE-
CIES that are found combined in KIRBi'S
AMERICAN HARVESTER.
We would call the attention Of Farmers to the
following facts:
l. That-Ths is the most perfe Combined
Mower and Reaper in use; better than any single
mower mower, and better than any single
reaper Il reaper.
2. That-It is the strongest and the lightest; be-
ing made entirely of Iron, except pole, seat and
platform. The finger bar is of wrought angle
iron, OF great strength and lightness.
That--It has Revolving Track Clearer,
which is the only track clearer that will thorough
ly separate the cut from the uncut grass and with
outleaving the cut grass in punches.
That-IT REQUIRES oNE-THIRD LESS DRAFT
THAN ANY OTHER MACHINE.
That-NO PRESSURE II MADE UroS THE HoR-
SEES NECKS, AND NO SIDE DRAFT.
is not equalled by any machine yet produced
The fnger-bar working up and down, indepen-
dent of the driving wheel, enables the machine to
go through deep burrows and bitches, among stones
and boys, over knobs and gopher hills where no
other machine could follow it. Ii will work from
2 to Is inches high.
T. That-It can be used in moving either with
or without the reel.
S. That--In both moving and resping, the po-
sitions Of the driver and raker the most copye-
nent and easy, enabling them to do their labor
with but little eXertion.
That-While the machine is in motion tho
driver can, by means of lever, throw the cutters
out aud into gear, and by another lever he can
raise and lower the finger bar to pass obstructiops
or move from field to field.
10. That-It is easily managed, marvelously
simple well built, compact, not liable to got out Of
ORDER made of the best materials, Babbet, metal
boxes, and IS furnished with double trees, neck
yoke and extras complete.
We would request all those who are in want Of
