Two Styles of Horse Powers.

NTINE-TENTHS of all the Threshing
IN Machines in use in this country belong to tho
"ENDLEss APRON" class, l. e., they have tho
arrangement Of the Endless Apron" or Canvas
mon. Machines Of this style, having the same
general form and somewhat similar appearance,
are made in nearly q hundred different factories,
large and small. Yet machines from these differ
emit factories differ much in real qualities as do
different makes Of Wagons cleth, leather, cutlery,
uatches or engines. Hence the Importance OF care
on the part Of the farmer and the thresherman in
making their selections. Some are practically
cheaper at A thousand than others at three hun
dred dollars, yet thore is not more than hundred
dollars difference between the prices Of the best
and the poorest.
Q. Aultman & Co.'s Sweepstakes" is
the ccredted head and front Of this great class,
and its superior strength, durability, simplicity,
ease of draft, style of finish, and capacity for
threshing and cleaning grain are Acknowledged.
1t has been for eighteen years favor
ite and for several years without peer.
It has led the van of Improvement
and revolutionized the style and quality OF work
bestowed upon threshing machines.
It is more widely known and esteem
ed than any other. The names OF sc. Aultman
A CO." and "SwEEPsTAKEs" are household words
from Maine to California.
Our circulars contain the names of
over five thousand five hundred men in the North
west alone who have purchased it and used tan
evidence OF It's standard CnafhCteT WHICH suouiu
not be overlooked.
The great reputation achieved by this
fayorte machine has led several INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers, and numerous agents, to attach
the name SWEEPSTAKES" in one way and
another, 10 their machines and advertisements TO
mislead and deceive.
To avoid deception, look for the card

of the machine.
If you want to buy a spurious Sweep
stakes, because you can get it for poor pay
or on "long time" do it with your eyes open
That is tho way they get rid Of inferior machines
The genuine Sweepstakes con-
tains many valuable pecuIiayities of construction
as well as Patented improvements not to be found
in any other machine whatever.
It is the acknowledged Leader of the
great Endless Apron" or Canvas Grain Car
Ter" branch of the threshing machine family,
which has for more than thirty years threshed and
cleaned the grain Of the country.
- More SWEEPSTAKES are being
built for this year than ever before. Improve
ments have been added, and its Acknowledged
position at the head Of its class will be fully
maintained In the future as in the past.
