warming them not to settle with me for
Mccormick machinery, which have sold.
All parties interested, are hereby notified,
that all said notes are in my possession
that all who may be ready can pay me and
get their rotes. A thing they cannot do,
of G. Fl. Mccormick & Bro. Of course all
will know that if they pay and get their
notes, they must be right; while if they
pay Mccormick & Bro, or any one but
me, they are not released, but still held
liable to pay their notes. Pay the man
who sold you the machine, and can deliver
you your note, and then you are sure to
he right.
You all know that the Mccormick Ad-
vance Reaper, has proved to be a total and
complete failure, and that they have been
returned by the hundreds? | have taken
them back in all cases where they were
| failures, and parties were dissatisfied, and
returned to the parties their notes. still
claim to do this until all parties are salts

do my full duty in this respect, have and
hold, all the notes for this purpose, and
also, to indemnify myself for damages,
commission and claims. which l justly
have against Mccormick Bro, and
which they refuse to pay or settle.
| Mccormick & Bro, finding their worth
less machines being refused from all direc-
tons, have sent out horde of agents to
take my place, have notified farmers thai
their machines, which, have nearly ruined
many poor farmers, must be paid for to
them, and not be returned to, or settled
for with me- The following are names Of
some of the farmers who have returned
