invented.
4 roin the success of last vear's operations I
take pleasure in announcing this Machine to the
Farmers lor the next Harvest, and feel assured
it will folly meet their highest expectations.
It is easily managed, cuts clean and easy, is of
light draft, and readily changed from a Reaper
to a Mower, and vice versa, requiring not more
than a minute to make the cha.'fe. The al
terations from last year are as follows, viz:
All the Journals will be Case-hardened, the
SitOES, (:(;.\K])S A-ND EEAIiLX!',
wbi built of the best Salisbury Iron, and
, wrought iron substituted for cast in" several p ,i

ver without obstruction, by simply removitu''
lour holts am! leaving .>ll' i pait of the fiaine
work. With these alte;ati>ns and improve
ments the machine will be stronger than here,
tofire, when it was the only reliable
CCVI3INED REAPER AND MOWER
made.

satisfaction, I bought it after grain harvest. Mv
hay was cut with it ; and, from its admirable a
daptation to the purposes intended—having
fully equalled the representation—l am pleased
to recommend it to the farmers of Bedford

believing it fully worth the price asked as a
