Best Machine in the World! !

During last harvest hundreds Of Farmers,
IN consequence Of our inability 10 supply the
demand were unable 20 obtain the Bucksye
and were forced 10 purchase an inferior
machine. The continued scarcity of laborers
and the new calls from the government for
troops, will take many more laborers from
the country, and the farmer will have to rely
entirely upon machinery in gathering his
hay and grain crcps.
Farmers who would avoid disappointment
in procuring Buckeye can send in their
orders now.
We are now prepared TO fill orders for the
coming Harvest. Address,
