 team can dig as fast as fifteen persons can pick up. The potatoes are gathered without being cut or bruised, and 

 cleaner than is usually done with a hoe. Every Digger Is sent on 9J days' trial so that there is absolutely no risk 

 In buying. We want an agent in every County in United States and Canada to exhibit our Digger this fall at the 

 State and County Fairs. We will furnish clrculars/z-ee, and pay your newspaper advertlsmg bills in your Coun- 

 ty. Don't failto mention this paper, and icrJie^ttiCft for illustrated circulars giving prices, terms, &c.

 MonarchMfg. Co.— Dear fflrs.' I Just write you a few lines to let you Icnow what success I have had with the 

 Monarch Lightning Potato Digger. I received it to-day at 1J:40 o'clock and thoroughly tested it In the potato

 wagon-load of DiggiTS. Please to have an ndvertisement put in the Eockport "Sentinel." I want to tell yon 

 that the Digger exceeded by far my anticipations, after giving it a hard test. The ground was very hard and dry 

 and covered all over with grass, and the Digger worked splendid. I would not take ^tO f nr it and do without It. 

 Ten men can't pick up the potatoes fast enough. I have sent money by express. iShip 3 Diggers right away. 



Yours Respectfully, Geobgk Hollis.
