ed that is there was q rov;,ty in il Mc.
Marsh would have had i: long ago. TIE
fact is, the old Invention covers the Whole
ground, end any onc has !: right to bulls: /.
Harvester that chooses. The consequence
OF this is, the purchaser viii have no pat
cnt fee Or royalty to Pay for, in buying &
machine, while q brisk competition will
drive the pcocl, made ones on: Of the
market
Last year the Mcssrs Mccormick ill.,
stGuctcd the inventor of the old Cincinnati
Machine to unite all tie valuable features
! used in the leading Uarvesters into one
machine. Of all the men in the country,
he was the most elninently fitted to do this
work, and the sample machinc now on ex-
hibition at Mr.. VanEal|zcnburgh's Implc-
ment Store, is ample evidence Of the con-
scicntious and painstaking manner in
which he carried out his instructions. A
man familiar with Harvestcrs will at once
recognize the most valuable and distinct
i've points ofthc leading machines com
bined in symmetrical proportion, with
some improvements over any and ali OF
them. Those who have feared that from
the desire the Messrs Mccormick have
always shown to build strong, that thci1
Harvester would be unduly cumbersome
will be agrceably surprised to find it com
pact and light, while it is finished and pu
together in the vcHy highest style Of me
chanical excellence. The frame is solilly
bolted and fitted together at the factory
This IS in marked contrast with some o
the others, whose frames are sent out loose
", to be shabbily hung together by u<
agent The Messrs Mccormick would no
allow SO important piece of work to b.
done out of their factory. The details O
t the cutting apparatus are as excellent a
those Of the old Reliable, while manyaof thu
, minor difficulties found i'll other uarycs
ters arc entirely obviated. The machine
, is the embodiment Of the experience ant
} experimenting of nearly thirty years, ant
will come to the farmers of Minnesota
not an untried machine, but a thorough,
tested and proved one, prepared to take it
, chances in rough and tumble fight will
all the rest, and come out ahead Its mcr
!, its are obvious and easily recognized
e Farmers are recommended to examine i
for themselves.
