MERITS OF THE IMPROVED sELF.RAKER.
!. II will sweep through the heaviest crops that
ever grew, and In fallen or lodged grain will
stral ghten cut aud rake of the Shcaf better than
can be done by any Hand Rake or Dropper, we,
or any other manufacturer ever built.
2. IL IL toade Of snoh 70 combination Of iroa
and wood parts, as 10 DO the strong gest, and yet
the lightcst draft selc Reker made. IL has Of
late been lightened to tho verge Of safety, and
beyond that line We will not 90, for NO intend 10
sell a machine tha, shall DO honestly worth all
we ask for IT, 't- t's
5. It Is the cheapest aehinsi In market, because
the best and most lasting, and needs no tinkering z
TO Keep II In order. -
Z. II will not break down or get out Of crdsf
In dineuIt cutting, but can oe relied on 10 ~
through any harvest, under all circumstances.
b. The experience OF an ordinary lifetime has
been expended on ~ by the invcntor and manu-
faeiurers, In Perfesting lis detalls, year after

0. II isso simple tha. boy or girl can work II.
Grated by those Just old enough 20 drive team.
7. II will save rs much grain over other ma
chimes will pay for IA I'm n few seasons, aud the
saving Of labor over q hand raker, will almost

B. IL IL tho only raker that makes tho separa-
tion Of tie Shoaf In tho standing grain hefafe tho
sickle, The rake sweeping over The sickle and
platform makes clean work at every revolution,
leaving not n straw behind. This Is the great 30.

.. The machine In MI It's minute details, l.
made at our factory In Chicago under our personal
care, and every part Of every machine undsrgoes
careful inspection before shipment.
10. Each years machines being mads by I'm.
proved machinery from separate sos Of patterns,
carefully preteryed, an. exact counterpart Of any
rooe In the machine can he had at any time In the
future, and on short notice.
II. IL Ia n splendid Flax Cutter, and In the
hemp region Of Missoufl, Ia moro used for hemp
cutting than any other machine. While we do

PROOF OF THESE STATEMENTS.
As sproof that we say what We mean, and ,sssp
what we say, we challenge all other Reapers Of
every description, by proposing TO allow the farm
er who dosires it leave toswork oar eelf.Rakcr
on trial through tho harvest with any other Reap
er, he agreeing to keep andpay for tho ono that
does the best work. The poorest machine may
do good work In fsirwcather, and In nice grain,
but the proof Of sterling maehineis Ia piece
of heavy down grain. orfu'a whole seasons work.
We invite all such trials, aud our agents are In
structcd to aibrd evory facility to tho farmers In
making such tssts. 'fSraasrs Information write
