MERITS OF THE IMPROVED sELF.RAKER.
I. twill sweep through the heaviest crops that
ever grew, and In fallen or lodged grain will
stra ghton out aud rake OF tho Shcaf better than
can DO done by any Hand Rake or Dropper, We,
or any other manufactured ever built.
2. II Is ,aade Of such a combination OF ifoa
and wood parts, rs 20 DO the strongest, and yet
tho llghcst draft lf.Raker made. II has Of
late been lightened 10 the verge Of safety, aud
beyond that line We will not 80, for Intend 90
sell machine that shall be honestly worth all
we ask for n.
g. II Is the cheapest uaehlne IN market, bscau,s
tho best and most lasting, and needs no uhkoring
10 keep u In order.
a. II will u ot break down or get out Of order
In dl1lcult cutting, but can 90 relied on to 60
through any harvest, under all circumstances.
D. The experience Of m ordinary lifetime has
been expended on itby the inventor aud manu-
faciurersI Ia perfseing lie details, year after
year.
q. II lsso simple that boy or girl can work II,
and Ia fact great many of our machines are OPP
Grated by those just old enough TO drive team.
T. II will save Ne much grain over other ina.
chimes "a will pay for IL IN few scasonsi and the
saving Of labor over hand raker, viii almost

=. II is tho only raker that makes the sopara-
ton Of tho sheof In tho standing grain bofoie the
sickle Tho rake sweeping over The sickle and
platform makes clean work az every revolution,
leaving not straw behind. This IL the greatse-
ofet Of It's success.
.. The machine In all Its minute details. IL
made nj our factory 10 Chicago under our personal
care, and every part Of every maehIHe undefEoes
careful Inspection before shipmeht
10. Each years machines being made by I'm.
proved machinery from separate sci Of patterns,
carefully preisrged, an exact counter part Of any
piece In the machine can be had at any time In the
future, and on short notice.
II. 1t IA n splendid Flax Cutter, and In the
hemp region Of Missouri, IL mure used for hemp
cutting than any other machine. While NO do
not make u especially for hemp cutting, We do
warrant u for Flax Cutting rs fully as for grain,

does tho best work. The poorest machine may
do good work In fair weather, and In nice grain,
but the proof Of n sterling machine Is Ia piece
of heavy down grain, or in a whole seasons work.
