The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-05-26

marched through the principal streets, and
was a grand display and conveyed to the
minds of the beholder some idea Of the
magnitude of the machine business. and
the genius energy and enterprise necessary
to be employed by both manufacturers and
statesmen to bring about such wonderful
results. He. sre
Mcssrs. Williams 81 Hartshorn take
this opportunity to tender their thanks to
the ladies Of the Methodist Association,
and also Mr.. Geo. Fauth, of the Exchange
Hotel, for the able manner in which they
catered to the appetites of the hungry
crowd and thereby assisted in preserving
the best of good nature to all, through the
entire day. In view of the strong compe-
ton in the machine trade which every
where exists, and especially in Owosso,
Messrs. Williams & Hartshorn are exceed
ingly well pleased with Saturdays demon
stration of the results of their labors up to
this date, which is still early in the season,
and no doubt feel like breaking out some
thing after this fashion:
Oftentimes It has been said
That farmers have been beat and bled
By agents, who will them deceive,
And anything make them believe.
Some agents have been known to say
sour machine can be drawn away
By just one finger on the tongue"
For speaking truth they'll not be hung.
80 ...
OF others, too, it has been said
"This:is the lightest mower made,
The cutter bar will stand up straight
1t will trim your hedge or pass your gate"
But Williams & Hartshorn are the men
Who are bound to sell you a machine
That will NOW your grass or reap your grain,
And another year it will do 1t again.
They nothing keep except the best,
Which In every spot will stand the test,
And you will never fail to hnd
That 1t will m0zo or reap or bind.
For these machines are so well made
OF them you need not be afraid,
And on agents you need never call
For 6yeak@ge either great or small.
In the morning when to work you go,
And hitch up your team to reap or NOV, .
Your work is bound to be well done
For your machine will surely run.
The drafts is light, the parts are strong,
And as you NOW or reap along
And quickly save your grass or grain
From spelling by tile zVind or rain.
We know that tickled you will be
To think that Hartshorn you did see
And that he persuaded you to buy,
And take to your farm a Nezv Buckeye.
We were glad to see you one and all,
And trust that you again will call,
And have your n~eighbors with you come,
And each one take a Buckeye home.
The following are the names of parties
who participated in the display, and who
had purchased farming tools and machines
of Williams 81 Hartshorn. There were
many others who have bought Of them,
but were not able to be here on account of
press of work at home. The machines
sold comprise the Mccormick, Buckeye
and Triumph reapers and mowers.
