AULTMAN & cos
Buckeye Mower and Reaper and Thresh-
ing Machine Works are perhaps the larg-
est of the kind IN Ohio The machinery
made by them is Familiarity known to far
mers all over the country, and their mer-
its are frankly acknowledged. No person
can form an idea ofthe immensity Of their
establishment without going through it.
Then they can scarcely comprehend the
vast amount of work done, IN the various
departments every day in the year. This
company has been successful far beyond
the usual achievements of men, and whilst
they have brought relief to many a nard
working husbandnan, and enable him to
de his labor faster, better, and with a
great saving of muscle, they have at the
same time been well compensated for their
efforts. The Buckeye Mower and Reaper
are standard machines and sold most read
lily where most used. But we need say
no more of thing already so well known
by the farmers of our land.

are extensively used by banks and conn.,
panies, and by counties for the safe keep
ing of treasure. They are as beautiful in
finish, as they are strong and secure IN
make. These works add very much to
the business enterprise of Canton by bring
ing work, people and money to the place.
