KIRBY'S
AMERICAN HARVESTER.
FOR l 8 6 0

TIME SUPERIORITY OF KIRBY'S AMER
/ 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 eXcclcncles are combined
in one MACHINE, in the most simple and efec-
tive manner. In some of these excellencies 1t is
entirely uneuualled and in none of them is il sur
passed. While other MACHINES may equal it
in some of its desirable qualities, we can safely
saw there is II OF another MACHINE in the world
which COMBINES ALL THE E&CELLEN-
CIES that are found combined in hlRBY'S
AMERICAN HARVESTER.
We would call the attention Of Farmers to the
following facts:
|. That-Ths is the most perfect Combined
Mower and Reaper in use; better than any single
mower as a mower, ana better than amy single
reaper us reaper.
2 That-It is the strongest and the lightcst; 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--lt has Il Revolving Track Clearer,
which is the only track clearer that will thorough
" separate the cut from the uncut grass, anu with
out leaving the cut grass i'll punches.
That-Ir REQUIRES oNE-THIRD LESS DRAFT
THAN ANY OTHER MACHINE.
) That--No PRESSURE IS MADE UPON THE HoR-
SEES NECKs, AND no SIDE DRAFT.
g. That-Its ability to work on rough ground
is not equalled by any machine yet produced.--
The iinger-b bar working up and down, indepen
dent OF the driving wheel, enables the machine TO
20 through deep burrows and bitches, among stones
and boys, over knobs and gopher hills, where no
other machine could follow it. 1t will work from
= to Is inches high.
7. That-It can be used in moving either with
or without the reel.
g. That--ln both moving and reaping. the po-
stions Of the driver and raker arc the most conve-
n;ent and easy, enabling them to do their labor
with but little sXcrtiOn.
8 That-WhiIe the machine is i'll motion the
driver can. by means OF a lever throw the cutters
out and into gear, and by another lever he can
raise and lower the finger bar TO pass distractions
or move from field 10 field.
10 That-It is easily nianagcd marvci0usly
simple, well built, compact, not liable to get out OF
order, made of the best materials, Babbct metal
boxes and is furnished with double trees, neck
yoke and extras complete.
We would request aii those who are in want OF
4 REAPER and NOW ER, to send for i Circular
