John Moore. Esq:
DEAR SIR was present on the farm of
John Rogers of Benton county, Yesterday,
and saw the operation of the Minnesota
Chief Threshing Machine manufactured by
Seymour, Sabin & Co., Saltwater, Mimi,
which You sold TO John Rogers & Co., and l {
consider it the most perfect Separator and
best cleaner ever saw. and | have owned |
and operated several different makes of
threshers for number of years. The Brake |
and Drop Gear on the Pitts Powers manufac- |
tured by the above firm gives it many advan- |
tages over any other | ever Saw. Two ma |
chimes were sold on the ground.
Respectfully, WILLIAM RIVALS.

STERLING, KS, July ~, 1877.
Messrs Seymour, Sabin & Co.:
Gentlemen: The Minnesota Chief Thresh-
err, manu- actured by you, threshed on my
place the 18th of July, and did not sup
pose machine could be found that would |
do as good work in wet grain as was done in
my grain. 1t was very wet, and l did not
expect to get it cleaned, but it was cleaned
we'll and taken out of the straw perfectly 1t
is also very light of draft. We had on a
very poor team, but had no trouble in keep
ing up speed. It is easily managed and we'll
built, and would advise all having thresh-
ing to do to engage the Chief, and their job
will be done we'll and quickly.
Respectfully yours,
DAVID WELLS.

Messrs. Seymour, Sabin Il Co..
GENTs-rhe last machine sold here has
run IA hours, set twice, and threshed /. 100
bushels, and is giving splendid satisfaction
saw the parties last night who bought the
first Chief here, and they are willing to stake
81, 900 that they can beat any machine in the
cOunty-thresh more grain and clean it bet
ter. J. NJ. GROSS.

Messrs Seymour Sabin & Co.:
GENrs-We have purchased one of your
Improved Minnesota Chief Threshers from
your agents Of this place. Would say that
said machine gives universal satisfaction
wherever we have threshed with it, and hav-
ing had several years experience with differ

ing it has no equal. Yours truly,

FREMONT, Neb.. Aug. 10, 1877.
Messrs. Seymour, Sabin Il CO.:
GENTs-We started Minnesota Chief to-
day alongside of Pitts thrcsher. Their
70 10 oh Of NO
started the Chief first. l set the sieves to
suit the grain, examined the belts and then
| told them to put in the straw. She Just did
the work beautifully; took all the straw they
! could get to her. and separated and cleaned
it Just perfect. Well then we went to the
Pitts. Their man tried to do all he could,
but it was no use--he could not come up to
the Chief. He owned up the corn.

Gents: purchased one of your Minneso-
| ia Chief Threshers and Pitts Power, of 5. ID.
Cummings, of lndianola. We are perfectly

Messrs. Seymour. Sabin CO..:
Gentlemen Hail to the Chief! Yesterday
went out with Mr.. Prescott to start Chief o,
the farm of Mr.. Hershey, near M"rristown, and
must say the machine went OF as never before
saw new machine run. Several men came
, quite distance to see the Chief operate. They
invited by MIR. Prescott to do so, and try anc
choke the machine if they could, but in that the,
failed. and after satisfying themselves that thu
Chief is the big I9jun" OF Minnesota, they CAV,
Mr.. Prescott an order for a complete outfit, the,
having previously decided to take Case. !
think we can sell twenty Chiefs II you will onl!
furnish them. Must have another car by the l0tl
of August or before, without fail.
, Yours truly,
D. CAvANAUGH.
