Since 1883. One Hundred Thirty-six Thousaud
and six Hundred of Walter A. Woods Harvest
ting Machines have been manufactured and sold
At least one hundred and ten thousand were In
use during the past harvest season. and in Ru.-
land County alone there were In good running or
der, during the having season OF 1871, q. least
to twelve years old. During the last twelve years
a score of different Mowers have been brought be-
fore the public tried. found wanting condemned
and thrown under the fence.
In 1868, the Whitehall Chronicle, in speaking
Of Moving Machines, said Every year witness,

chsnieal principles, and every year new Mowers

A few years ago there were In Rutland county,
Moving Machines that were for q time sharp

this entails loss on the farming com munity, and
any one can perceive it would be Cheaper TO pUr-

Nearly every agent for these new M0wers re-
commend their own machines by decrying first
class standard mowers. And the Wood Mower

Reasoning according to the old sdsge, that ''Ths

As rule, all new mowers are recommended ga
being of lighter draft than any of the STANDARD
machines. They are great Improvements and

use, of course they must, because they are later
improve ments, and possess some very novel g.
lures. Even If the novel features are obtained A.

Why, the man that invented my mover, ~as
the same man that invented the Wood Moser
and sold him the patent" Another one, in hts
zeal, says:-"Walter A. Wood has offered seEer.
ty-fve thousand collars for the pstsDt on n,E
