Jamesburg, Sedgwick County, July "a.
Asssrs. Hapgood q Co. Alton, Illinois:
We own First & Brady 16-inch sulky plow
and though we bad the best the market al
iorded, until to-day your agent, III. A. Sayles,
came to our place with one OF your Pinch
stirring gangs, and having = dynamsmeteI
for testing draft, We found, TO our surprise,
that your two l2-inch plows, carrying man,
was drawn by about one-half the weight of
draft as compared to the draft of one 16-iuch
sulky. We must have q Hapgood.
William Henry,
Frank Henry,
Joseph Henry.
Jamesburg, July %, 1877.
Aasrs. Hapgood Co..:
We would say for the benefit of those wish
ing to purchase sulky :plows. that we own a
l6-inch John Deere sulky, it being in good
condition; we have tested its draft with 1G-
inch Hapgood Sulky, run by u. A. Sayles, OF
Wichita, and the Hapgeod beat the John
Deere by 800 pounds drat by the scales.
n. j. Claser,
Christian Chaser.
We, the undersigned, attended trial OF
plows between the Hapgood 16-inch sulky and
the Davenport 14-inch walking pillow on the
farm of Capt. Murray Myers, July Goth, 1877.
when the Hapgood exeelled the Davenport
by difference OF 70 pounds by the dynamo
meter. This was the difference in draft, not
withstanding the Hapgood cut two inches
wider furrow. VIM. A. Nader,
Z. Berdeau,
X. II. Kuhn,
John Ogilvie.
Nesvs. Nargood d Co.:
At the request Of your agents here. and in
harmony with our own views, we are con-
strained to write you OF the result of trial
OF your gang pl ows which we are well pleased
to inform you is highly satisfactory to our
selves as well as very complimentary to your
plows. Messrs. Cook s. Co., your agents,
maintained that your 12-inch gang would
draw easy as our iron frame sulky cutting
l6 inches, which We could not believe until it
was proven to us by actual test at our farms
this day. Our plows not being in as good
order as new plOws, pulled considerable
heavier, each doing its appropriate work, but
we considered that your plcw, doing as it did
fifty per cent. more work with NO more draft,
to say the least certainly did wonders, and is
as high recommendation Is the best manu-
could desire.
The test being SO satisfactory aud conclu-
sive to us, we had nothing to do but purchase
your gang plows which we have done this day.
Respectfully yours,
NJ. IL. Baker,
James &. Dean.

representations, criticisms and fault-fndings

thrown out a few weeks since against the

asserted that the present Board had done
their whole duty, conscientiously and fear
