10 the 7HresAern,en and Farmers of
this and adjoining Cbsssties:
We have taken great pains to hunt
up the record Of. and find . threshing
machine that will save the most grain
and come nearest meeting the wants
Of central Kansas, and find in the
Rumely all the best points with the
fewest objections ofany in the market
Below We give record of the Rumely:
At the United States Fair held in
Chicago, - far back as 1859, in the
field against IL threshers, silver med
nj, valued at so. was awarded to NJ. Il
]. Rumely, and numerous times at La
Porte fairs, between 1859 and 1871; at
indianapolis, in 1871, IL took the gold
medal, valued at 500, against IL diff
ferent separators; at Clayton, Mich,
In 1875, for SIS, It took the money
against the ]. I. Case and the b. F.
Dow Separators; In 1876, at J. Gar
woods, against the Nichols 4 Shep-
ard, 1t came out first best; in 1877 Mt
Clyde, o., against the new Massilon
made by Russell 4 Co, il came out far
ahead !; in 1878, at Fishersburg. against
the Minnesota Chief, it was again
crowned with success also in 1878 ut
Chilicothe, O., against the Sweepstakes
made by Aultman & Co., and at Belle
vile. ILL.,, it took the lead. In 1879 at
Archibald, O., against the Springfield
Pitts, 1t led the latter. In 1880 at Cir
cleviile, O., against the Minnesota
Chief, and Belleville, ILL.,, 1t won the
contest. At the latter place Mr.. Wade,
agent for the Belleville machine, said
II the Rumely came in the builders
must put up 500. and he would cover
II. The Rumelys acceded to the de-
mand. In 1881. at BrOOkeville, o.,
near Dayton, the Rumely agent had
succeeded in taking an order In the
neighborhoOd of the Gaar-ScO agent
and the agent of the Russell. The lat
ter agents took the matter SO hard and
parties who gave the order for the
Rumely demanded q trial with the
Gaar-Scott and the Russell machine,
while each of their machines were
much larger than the Rumcly machine
which, in this instance, was one of the
small size, but the Rumely went in and
the record was thus: Rumely, LIST, time

Peru, Ind. the Dow machine was or
dered by Mr.. Alspaugh and failed. He
then ordered Nichols 4 Shepard and
that also failed. Next came the Rum
ely, which proved to be the machine he
and the farmers wanted, and settled
for the same. At the LaPOrte County
Fair, in the fall of 1881, the Agricultu-
raj Society offered q Diploma for the
best Thresher, the same to be tested
and operated in the presence of the
Agricultural Board, in which case Mr..
Charles GarwOOd and Mr.. George
Wells, owners Of the new Rumely Sep
aratOr, took the prize with ease against
the New J. 1. Case AgitatOr Then
comes the first victory for 1882, April
2lst, on the farm of Charles Wing, Al
miles south east of LaPorte, the New
Rumely against the New Ashland
made at Ashland, o., i'm
which the former was the victor, thresh
ing 81 bushels per minute while the
Ashland threshed q scant q bushels |
per minute, the waste in the case of the
latter being three times the amount
made by the Rumely. The correct
ness Ofthe above statements can be
In no test have any of
the manufacturers been able to get
away with the Rumely.
We have had the pleasure of meeting
J.H. Harding, General Agent. Those
thinking Of buying a machine would
do well to call on or address him at |
Salina, Kansas.
