achieved by Seymour. Sabin q Co.. ol
Saltwater. Minnesota, in the malu-
facture of the most successful ana
popular threshing machine manufac'
tured in the United States.
It's success is no longer a matter OF
ouestion. It is rapidly supersedlng
the machines made in Ohio, Wlscol-
sin. etc. 1t does the most peflec'
kind of work. and its workmanship IS
in every respect of the first class.
