OFFICE OF
G. ii. e J.. J. MCCORMICK,
CHICAGO, ILL, 1877.
We wish to call your attention to
the fact that we have for sale this sea-
son very large and fine assortment Of
harvesting machinery, consisting Of
Harvesters ;Harvesters with SelfBind-
ing Attachments Combined and Single
Self-Rake Reapers and Mowers. All
these machines are manufactured out
Of the very best of material in every
respect, and are fully warranted by us
to do thorough work under all condi-
tions, wherever any machine can be
operated.
THE MCCORMICK HARVESTER
Is eminently adapted to the wants of
all large grain growing farmers. It is
easily drawn by two ordinary horses,
and requires but three men to operate
it, and thus cut and bind from ten to
twelve acres per day. The mode of
attaching the binders stand to our
Harvester has occasioned much lust
praise ; the table being hinged SO that
it always remains level, no matter how
the machine is tilted. The adjustable
reel is also most valuable point. By
it's use grain badly down, and tangled,
and even leaning away from the bar,
can be pickedup and laid on the plat
.forns apron in good shape.
It is unnecessary for us to 60 into
detail concerning the many admirable
qualities of this machine, Jas most farm
ers are conversant with it's merits, and
we hope those who are not will fully
inform themselves by inspection before
buying elsewhere.
THE MCCORMICK sELF-BINDER
Is new and valuable attachment to
our Harvester, which we are able to
put in the field this year, with the con-
fdent expectation that it will take it's
place in the van Of all Binding Attach
ments, and prove to the farming COM
munity of the great West that the era
has at length begun, when they shall
no longer be at the mercy of a horde
Of hands during the season of grain
harvest; but that farmer may now go
forth single handed into the waving
grain, and with the aid Iof this wonder
full machine, cut and bind all his grain
in better shape, and do the work easier,
and with less expense, than it could
possibly be done otherwise.
The material used for the bands is
No. 20 annealed steel wire, and that it
makes good band we have ample proof
In the certificates of farmers, who, hav-
ing bound their grain with it last year,
state that not one band in a thousand
comes Embossed, and that the sheaves
are nicer to handle than any hand
bound sheaves.
THE MCCORMICK ADVANCE
/
Is two-wheeled self-rake reaper, with
moving attachment, and is really
two machines combined In one, the
former five and the latter four feet wide
THE MCCORMICK PRIZE MOWER
Is two-wheeled machine, with jointed
bar, and cuts swath four feet wide.
For cutting all kinds and conditions
Of grass and clover it cannot be ex
called.
If you will only examine for yourself
the merits of our Prize Mower, befor'
buying elsewhere, we do not fear bu
that we shall obtain your order, ant
you will be perfectly satisfied, afte
testing the machine, that you have act
ed wisely in making your selection.
IN CONCLUSION
We desire to impress upon you tn
following facts:
That every machine we manufacture
1--we guarantee SO do thorough work
under all circumstances, wherever
machine can be operated.
That the material used in the man
ufacture Of our machines is the yer
best that long experience can select AM
money buy.
That every precaution istaksn by u
to combine all the different qualities o
material In such manner as to Civ
to our machines, in every feature, tn
necessary durability, and at the sam
time desirable degree of lightness.
| That for simplicity Of constructio
and ease Of management, they have not
nor can they be beaten.
All things then considered, we hop
you will examine thoroughly for youl
