A New DEPARTURE IN GRAIN AND GRASS
CUTTING MACHINERY.
The Deering,

One Western manufacturer, who anticipates
a demand OF the New England farmer for i'm
proved Western machines, has opened "A per.
manent Branch House at so So. Market street.
Boston, with warehouses on Commercial and
Central wharves.
Their success since they have come to New
England indicates a revolution in the grain
and grass cutting trade.
WIN. Deering Il Co.'S general agent, Mr..
Pierce, tells us that VIM. Deering & Co. would
have been in New England years before they
came, had it not been for the general low
prices established there for their class OF
goods. He claims that their machines cost so
much more to manufacture that it would be
ruinous to put them on the market at the low
figures some other machines are selling for.
Their introduction in New England has been
simply wonderful Their sales in 1855 in this
territory did not exceed ten machines, and
these machines were sold from New York
State; VIM. Deering at that time not being
represented in any way in New England. In
1887 they put on the New England market 6s2
machines; last year they sold in the same
territory nearly $500 machines; and their gen
eral agent tells us they already have in New
England about 40t 0 machines Tor this seasons
trade. and will no doubt sell upwards of 5000
machines here the coming season providing
he can get them from the factory.
The factory Is already holding back his or.
ders on account of shortage on certain sizes.
VIM Deering Co. furnish each and every
Tan in their employ two books one, "Field
Observations on Irvine Binders and Reap.
ers;" the other, "Field Observations on Now
ers;" and IA small clause in the instructions as
follows explains itself
eve wish you to observe everything con-
nected with our machines, however tritiing it
may appear, II, in your opinion it is n defect
or difficulty OF any name or nature. Record
carefully any difficulty that you have in doing
successful work in any kind OF grain or grass
or on any ground Mention anything that
strikes you as being peculiar and notable
about the working of the machine. Do not
fail TO mention every breakage, however
slight, not speaking in general terms, but
give the number of cases that come under
your observation, and the special cause in
each case. Mention everything that you find
on the machine that wears more rapidly than
II should do, and mention specific cases. In
every case give what in your opinion is the
cause tor trouble defect in wear, and your
opinion OF the proper remedy"
| The pa inch section, the high wheels, the
ease with which the machine can be handled,
and their guarantee that their IT. mower
will run lighter than any IT. mower made,
certainly has tendency to put confidence in
! the minds of those thinking OF buying ma
chine OF this kind, that nothing but facts could
produce.
VIM Deering & Co. started manufacturing
grain and grass cutting machinery at Plano
H. in about 1860, moving to Chicago in 1863
small CONCERN then, compared to some In
their line, but they have gradually outstrp
ped all their competitors and today stand at
the head, the largest and best-known manu-
facturers of this line OF goods in the world
They will turn out 1872 900 machines this wear
from their immense works, covering over
As acres and employing upwards of 1000 men
massachusetts Ploughman.
These machines in all their varieties
can be had of ii. E. SANFORD, West
Cornwall, or of A. X. CARR or ALLAN
CALHOUN of Middlebury, any one OF
whom will be pleased to furnish further
information about them. 25-2w
