John Moore, Esq:
DEAR SIE-I 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, Sabn & Co., Saltwater, Mimi,
which you sold TO John Rogers & Co., and l
consider it the most perfect Separator and
best cleaner ever saw and l have owned
and operated several different makes of
threshers for a 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 l ever Saw. Two ma
chimes were sold on the ground.
Respectfully WILLIAM RYALs.

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 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
very poor team, but had no trouble in keep
ing up speed 1t 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

81 900 that they can beat any machine in the
county-thresh more grain and clean it bet

Messrs. Seymour, Sabin Il Co.:
GENTs-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
ent machines, we can truthfully say it is the
best thresh ng machine We have ever used.
For lightness OF draft, separating and clean
ing it has no equal. Yours truly,

Messrs Seymour, Sabin Il Co.:
GENTs-We started Minnesota Chief to-
day alongside of Pitts thresher. Their
man was there to take charge of it. We
started the Chief first. | set the seves 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
it ju>t 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.

Messrs. Seymour. Sabin Il Co..
Gentlemen: Hail to the Chief! Yesterday
went out with Mr.. Prescott to start Chief o.
the farm of Mr.. Hershey. near Morristown, and
must say the machine went oil as never befor'
saw a new machine run. Several men came
quite distance to see the Chief operate. The.
invited by Mr.. Prescott to do so, and try am
choke the machine if they could, bus in that the
failed. and after satisfying themselves that tn
Chief is the big Iujun OF Minnesota, they CAV
Mr.. Prescott an order for a complete outht, the
, having previously decided to take Case.
think we can sell twenty Chiefs If you will ont
furnish them. Must have another car by the l0t
of August or before. without fail.

, Messrs. Seymour, Sabin l. Co.:
Dear Sirs: With one of your Minnesota Chic
/ Separators we threshed on July 10Th, about 5
acres of heavy stray on my farm. 1t was to
largest straw tack ever threshed on my farm
, the same number of hours. The Chief ceane
the wheat beautifully, and the straw and cha
did not have any grain IN them after paSsln
through the Separator. l can recommend IN
. Chief. for it did more and better work than
would have asked or expected OF any other max
: of machine. 1t was the most satisfactory work
f have had done since have been farming, ie
the straw log, wet and weedy and neye
saw machine do such good work as the Chi'
did. Farmers wanting t e best Separator mad
l in my opinion; buy the Minnesota Chief.
