Patented by J. H. MANNY, Sept. 22,1851, j April 12,1852, June 21, 1853, March 29, ! 1854, Oct. 15, 1854, and by WALTER A. j WOOD, 24th day of June arid Ist day of July, [ 1856. The best combined MACHINE ever invented. From the success of last year's operations I take pleasure in announcing this Machine to the Farmers for the next Harvest, and feel assured it will fully 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 mmute to make the change. The al terations from last year are as follows, viz: All the Journals will be Case-hardened, the SHOES, GUARDS AND GEARING, will b built of the best Salisbury Iron, and i wrought iron substituted for cast in several pla- ! ces. The Machine is made to mow lodged do- j ver without obstruction, hv simply removing j four bolts and leaving off" a part of the frame work. With these alterations and improve-i nrients the machine will be stronger than here- I tofire, when it was the only reliable COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER made. The Machine is warranted capable of coiling J from ten to fifteen acres of grass or giain per ; day, in a workman-like manner. N. B. Parties manufacturing Reaping or Mowing Machines, using WOOD'S PAT EN PS, are cautioned against their further use, and are hereby notified that payment will be exacted to the full extent for the use heretofore made of them.
