Buckeye Reaper,
The subscribers take this method to return their sincere thanks for the generous support they have received in introducing the celebrated "BUCK
EYE REAPER & MOWER" into Centra! and Northern Pennsylvania. Wc did not wish or intend to publish Certificates, choosing to let the Maclii ic
by its triumphant success be its own recommendation. But seeing, in late issues of the ''Union County Star & Lewisbur Chronicle," about two columns
devoted to the "Hussev" Reaper, wc deem it but justice to the public, to ourselves, and to the BUCKEYE, to give the verdict of the Farming community
who have not only seen and witnessed but also BOUGHT and USED "the BUCKEYE."
Wc give, below, a few of the Ccitificatcs wc have received from Farmers who have bought BUCKEYES of us this season, and a few from Farmers
who have used them for two or three years, to show their durability and entire reliability. The combined opposition of Manufacturers of Reaping and
Mowing Machines, and their efforts to crush and bring into disrepute the SJUCKEYTE, only serve to prove its sui'jskiokitv ; and the fears they entertained
of its success and tkioipii arc evidences of the real worth and merit of the Machine.
Wc arc much indebted to the friends of the BUCKEYE for their warm greeting and kind offices in recommending if their friends and neighbors, and
beg leave to assure them, that, although these favors may not be specially acknowledged, WE ARE BY NO MEANS UNA!LDFUL OF THEM.

wish no better Reaper and Muwer than
tbe Buckeye. The Buckeye is the fourth

This is toccrtify it.at I buUjrlit a BI'L'K
EYK Unper & Muwer of Mifer, Walls,
Slriaei i. I'o., cf Lcwisburg. I cut about
.0 acres of grass, and it worked better
than any other machine I ever saw in
L'ras. la fact 1 want no better mower.
L cut Stl acres of wheat. It cuts light
and Leavy and lodged wheat, first
rate. Tho outside wheel on the platform
sat out a little too far in the heat, thus
running down a little wheat sometimes,
which I ti could be easily put into th-i
rii;ht p'.ice in fact, I could do it mjselt.
Tiiat is the only fault I can liul with the
machine, and that is so small and so caiiy
rectifud that it is hardly necessary lo
mention it. I would say to the farmers
of Kelly, that if they want a good, relia
ble, and convenient machine buy a Buck
eye.

It can not be beat in making nice, clean
work, and worked very light with two
horses. I cut SI acres of grass and it
worked to my entire satisfaction as a
mower. It is tbe most convenient ma
chine I ever saw; I can fold the bar over,
and go through narrow lanes and bars
that 1 can not get through with my old
Ilussey or any other machine made on the
old plan. 1 Lave used a One Wheel
Reaper six years on this farm, and I would
not take the beet one wheel Reaper as a

not know of a Hussey Reaper being sold

This is to certify tbat I buught of Sli
fer, Walls, Sbriner & Co., a BUCKEYE
Keaper & .Mower, and it works first rate
iu both grain and grass. I cut about 121
acres, or about 20 tons of bay a day with
ease, with two borscs. In grain, I can
cut all around a lodged field, and made
good work all tbe way around. In a field
near my ben (is all my neighbors know)
s me of lLo grain was almost as flit as if it
i hail been rolled with a roller, and coosid
. .c of the worst fk'Us in tbe valley.
eiu I cut Kith the i'uekeye all
aruuuii the held, aud m'li fund work, a:.J
if any person who saw it before it was cu',
1 will come and sec it now, they will find as
' nice and clean stubble as can be found iu
jtbe valley. At first the wheel on the
platform was out too far and run down a
I little grain, but after being altered by
j Messrs S. W. S. ft Co., it did not run
1 down any grain, and I know it will beat
j atiy Reaper or Mower I have ever seen.
; I d) not know of any Uusscy Reapers Lc
j ing sold this season iu Iiulliloe Valley,
but do know of many Buckeyes being sold
In fact, the liuckcye will sell itself if it
has a fair trial.

This is to certify tbat I bought a BUCIC
EYK Reaper of Iifer, Walls, Sbriucr &
Co., and tbat it worked to my entire sat
isfaction in both grass and grain. I cut
about 30 acres of grass, some of it lodged
aud wet, and I think was tbe heaviest
grass in Kelly township. I never saw a
machine in Buffaloe Valley that can cut
grass as well as the Buckeye. I have cut
0 acres of grain with it ibis season, for
1 myself and neighbors, and I want nothing
j in the grain field better than the liuckcye
I to cut my grain. I would say to my
i neighbors, if you want tbe best machine
that ever was in .Buffaloe Valley, buy a
Buckeye. Samuel Becutel.
Buffaloe Valley, July 24, 1801.
This is to certify that I bought a
BUCKEYE Reaper & Mower of Slifer,
Walls, tjhriner & Co. I think I had as
heavy grass as grown in Buffaloe Valley.
I cut when it was wet, aud also when dry,
and it worked to my entire satisfaction.
I bad been looking at the different Heap-
! ers for the last five years, and could not
see one tbat worked light enough for me
until I saw a Buckeye, and that suits me.
It runs light enough for two horses all day
without changing. Tbe Buckeye is the
best and most convenient machine iu Buf
faloe Valley, aud I would say to the far
mers, if you want a good, reliable machine,
1 'ij a Buckeye.

about 22 acres of grass, and no machine

and am free to say that it is tbe best

acres of grain, and it cut it as well, and
did as good work as can be done. A great
deal has been said in our county about a

This is to certify that I hitmhf of Slifer,

per & Mower, and cut about 30 acres of
wheat as heavy as any that has been grown
in this valley. The only fault that I
could find with my machine was that tbe
outsido wheel stood out a little too far, and
would sometimes run down grain, but this
I consider a small matter which can be ea
sily remedied. In grass, I cut about
1 25 acres to my entire satisfaction, and it
'is the best mower I ever saw in this valley.
trial, and it would choke and break, and
break and choke all tbe time in grass, and
at last I hauled it back to Jas. S. Marsh
& Co., and cut my grass with scythes.
This year, I have not choked tbe Buckeye
in grass or grain, but cut right along. I
would say to my friends, if you want a
good Reaper and Mower buy a Buckeye.
No new Ilussey's with the Automatic im

which alterations is all it requires to make
it the most terfect machine of which I

I Af'cr I gave it a fair trial iu gros and

Reaper & Mower that has ever been intro
; ded iu Ii u If aloe Valliy, and I want noth-
ing letter oo tuy f irm than the Buckeye.
' It has no si Jo draft, an I rur.s very lijjht
for two horses, not liable lo git out of or

50 acres of grass, S'ttue of it very heavy
down, and dry. It made uo difference to
I the Buckeye, wet or dry, standing or
! lodged, it cut riiiht aloij no choking or

farm. Iu grain, I cut about ;Vl acr-s wi:li
it to my entire satUfaction. I have not
had to stop my Reaper to fix a bur, or bi It,
or anything about it. It is a very duta
ble machine, I think, aud would n t do
without it. The looker I use it, the better
! I like it, and 1 would say to my frien!s

machine that sells iu Buffaloe Valley ibis
