Read u few of our Testimonials. Also many
others on file at our office:
DANIEL HEFLEBowER says: I have tested
the light Suntish Pillow that 1 purchased
of you and find it mp to all the requirements;
light in draft, easily adjusted. aud the only
pillow I ever saw that will follow equally us
well two or three horses. want no more cast
plows.
CHARLES E. TIMBERLAKE says: The inn
proved two or three-horse Sunfsh Plow l
got of you Con trial) this Spring proves to be
equal to ali you claim for it. and more.
plowed piece of new ground with three horses
hiched to it. that were altogether too fast, but
lit was equal to it, and came out with colors
flying.
pleasure in saying that the New Plow, pur-
chased of you this Spring, gave entire satisfac-
ton. The peculiar quality of the soil which l
have to pillow makes it necessary to have moth
ing but the very best pillow to do the work.
+. E. BOYD. of Kabletown, says: L will
say in regard to your New Pillow that it is the
best have ever used-wOrks easy to both man
and horses, and is just what you want for hard
ground. and is the cheapest to keep in order.
JOSEPH L. EICHELBERGER suys: Received
your note the other day. and say in re-
gard to the Pillow. that it is all that could be de-
sired ; light of draft, and does its work well,
and is in my judgement much better Flow
than any of those light Plows from the North
and West that are shipped here by the car
load. Farmers had better spend their money
at home and encourage home manufacturers.
G. w. SNYDER. Middlevay. says: like yOur
Pillow both for two three horses, and have
never seen any better. 1t can be Kept In order
with less expense than any have ever used.
1t cuts the ground off before it turns it: there
by making q level surface below. There is
where it beats other PlOws.
RUDOLPH RAu. of Bolivar. says: 81 am
much pleased with the Pillow. | think the
New Pillow superior TO the Old Suntish. in fact
it does more and better work than any PlOw
ever had on my farm: VIII call and sec You

II SuNFIsH Prov were far beyond our most
sanguine expectation, and its praise has been
sounded far and wide for quality of work and
lightness of draft. Our business has not
been confined to this and adjoining counties,
but we are receiving orders from abroad
Farmers are learning not to buy poor imple-
ment because it is cheap. but get the best and
gain in good crops. There are several good
points in our Pillow. which commend it above
all others. In the first place. it is made of the
very best material. and secondly, it is
Wrought Pillow. and can be repaired by any
ordinary workman, and at q less cost; thirdly,
1t cuts off the land level below before COM
mencfng to turn the furrow. thereby leaving
the ground to get the full benefit of a rainfall.
while other plows trough it out, leaving the
water to follow the trough 1t can be adjusted
TO a nicely to cut any desired width of fnrrow:
works easy with two or three horses. Try the
Pillow. We don't give Chrome with each
Pillow, butwe do give satisfaction. Our Three

He said, however, he did IT, think 1t
would occur again, 10 the company would
try to prevent d repetition. Morton said
in regard to the progress the road WAS

that they had engaged forty new switch
men to-day. The company now have six

freight cars the company bad AZ its dis
posal were loaded at the freight house
and the Ieas IN greater nua ber were
not loaded was because the Burlington
emplis are Vi. d up on other ailRays and
are out in the country.
BOYCOTT DECLARED.
An extra edition OF an evening paper
says: A meeting of engineers, Hremen
and switchmen was held at First and JET
ferson streets this evening. There were
representatives from sill the roads
present, and 1t was resolved that
general boycott be declared against
Burlington freight on all roads. The
sentiment expressed was thst the Bar

was no reason why the .Dgi eer de-
manos should not be complied with. Tney3
