HARRISON SEED POTATO CUT
TER Is MAKING GOOD

The editor Of the rit-Advocate vis-
tied the DR.. Rook farm west of this
city yesterday af'e moon, and here we
saw the Harrison Seed Potato Cutter
in operation. DR.. Rook owning one of
these machines. IL was working
"slick as a whistle" and after inspect
ion one can readily see the great ad-
vantage derived by its use in saving
time and labor to the potato growers
in cutting the seed for planting. DR..
Rook recommends the machine very
highly. This is machine that is be-
ing manpfactured by the Gateway
Mfg. Co. Of this city, it being intro
duced on the market this year. We
see no reason why the company will
not find ready sale for this new ma
chine.
