MERITS OF THE IMPROVED sELFRAKER.
]. II will sweep through the heaviest crops that
ever grew, and In fallen lodged grain will
stra ghicn out and rake on the Sheaf better than
can be done by rny Iirnd Rake or Dropper, we,
any other manufactured cter buiit!
2. 1t Is icado Of such combination OF Iron
and wood parts, ms 20 be the strongest, and yet
the ightest draft Self Raker made. IL has Of
late been lightened to the verge of safety, and
beyond that line will not 90, for we intend 10
sell machine that shall be honestly worth all
we ask for IT.
3. 1t is the cheapest ma chi re in market, becsuee
the best and most lasting, and needs no tnkering
TO keep IL In order.
4. II will not break down OF get out Of order
in difficult cutting, but can re relied on TO 60
through any harvest, under oil circumstances.
5. The experience Of en- ordinary lifetime has
been expended on II by tho inventor and manu-
facturcrs, la pcrfee,ing its details, year after
year.
6. II Ia so simple that boy or girl csn work IT,,
|
Grated by those just old enough to drive team.
Z. II will save ms much grain over other ma
chimes as will pay for II In few seasons; and the
saving of labor over a hand raker, will almost
pey for IL In one season.
). II Is the only raker that makes the scpara-
ton Of the Sheaf in the standing grain before the
sickle. The rake sweeping over the sickle and
platform makes clean work at every revolution,
leaving not straw behind. This Is the grcatse-
cret Of ITS success.
o. The machine In all its minute details, Is
made ut our factory Ia Chicago under our personal
care, and every part OF every machine undorgoes
n careful inspection before shipment.
10. Each years machines being mnds by i'm.
proved machinery from separate set OF pHttcrns,
csrofully preserved, an oxRct counterpart OF any
piece In the machine can be had atany time In the
future, and on short notice.
II. IL Is n splendid Flax Cutter, and In tho
hemp region Of Missouri, Is moro used for hemp
cutting than any other machine. While We do
not make 10 especially for hemp cutting, we do
warrant II for Flax Cutting Ms fully as for grain.
~. II will NOW as we'll ms any other combined
mr shine, while we recommend our Separate Now
or to those who have much haying to do.
PROOF or THESE STATEMENTS.
Asproof that we say what wo mean, and mean
what We say, we challenge all other Reapers Of
every description, by proposing TO allow the farm
or who desires II leave to work oar Self Raker
on trial through the harvest with any other ReHp.

does tho best work. The poorest mnchiuc may
do good work In fir weather, and In nice grain,
but the proof Of n sterling machine Is N piece
Of ksavy down grain, or In whole seSson . work.
