La the State Journal, published at
Madlson, Wisconsin, ana also Ia man
other newspapers at various points in
the West, have appeared statements over
the signatures Of the Marsh Harvester
Manufacturers, purperting TO be tele-
oranas and letters from their agents, an
nouncing great victories by the Marsh
Harvester over the Mccormick, in field
trials.
Our Harvester has done and is doing
so unitoranly well, and gives such excel
lent satisfaction to all who have purchas-
ed and used 1t. that until row we nave
net thought it wortE while to pay
attenti<n 70 the false and absurd states
ments OF these parties. But as they
have gathered boldness from our seem
ing Ind ifference. and continne their
malicious siandeFs&with unabaGed venom,
we deem it necessary to contradict them
point blank Apeosa0 strife, and can
pyoge 0gr st0tenseslt NTH sadGsputG6te
euSdsnce. that wherever fair trial has
been lad between the Marsh and Nc
Corm;ck Harvesters, so far as we know
TO this date, car Harvester has proven
it, elf by far the better machine, and
that the statements xade by the Marsh
people as co the trials in Southern
Illinois and other places are Wilfui mis-
representations, prompted By the fact
that our machine has become SO popular
and is selling so largely.
For instance, the9 say. AT Vandaliaa,
I'LL, June 10Th, the Mccormick was q
heavy draft and elevated poorly" as If
this were the report +of a committee.
Vow the facts ia this case are these I:
Three large farmers wishing to purchase
Harvcsters, were undecided as between
the Marsh and Mccormick. and wished
to see them tested lie the field, and after
a thorough AMI exhaustive test, coduct-
ed by themselves under the supervision
Of the representatives Of Doth manufac-
tnrers, all three purchaser MeCormlck
Hargesters, and we have their certificates
to that effect, and can Get their atfidavits
if necessary.
AT Nashville, I'll, cur ageat has sold
and delivered tifyy-nine (593 Mccormick
Haryestess. all giving Pertset satiStac-
tioa
At Ta1aarea, ILL.,, ne committee was
appointed. aud therefore ne decision.
consequently the view given in the
Marsh publication IS simply sheir own
opinion.
At Independence, Kansas. the Com
1aattes decided in favor ofthe Mccormick,
and act tie Maysb people clssRl ~ &c enc OF

The absve ere samples Of Marsh
oSotorsss and Marsh Misrepresentation,
and we now again asser5 that our
Harvester has proven Itself the superior
of the Marsh In nanny respects and in
ferior in none. at many times and piacas,
some of which we will now detail ia
addition 10 others previously published.
