SPECI.\I. SECTIONS AT SI'ECIAL PRICE. 



Having flnally perfected and got in operation our 

 new section machinery l)y which all our sections 

 are now made by ;i new process, uniform in thick- 

 ness, and of superior quality and finish, we desire to 

 close out our entire stock on h;ind made in the old 

 way; and in order to do so we offer them at the fol- 

 lowing special i)rice-, which will apply so long as 

 this stock lasts. You may also deduct the early-

OUR NEW EXTRA POLISHED SECTIONS. 



We have not said much in print recently in regard 

 to what we were doing in the way of making a 

 superior quality of sections, wishing to hfive every 

 thing ill the waj' of improvement accomplished be- 

 fore doing so. We were a little premature a year 

 ago, and did not care to repeat the «ame mistake. 

 We have not been idle all this time: and we believe 

 that, when you examine samples, you will agree 

 that n<i better sections are made anywhere; and j'ou 

 may decide with the two people, whose letters we 

 quote below, that thoy are superior to any other. 

 We ourselves modestly decline to make this claim, 

 but leave it to our friends to spetik for us. We have 

 made and exiiorted one cai'load of these sections, 

 and are at work on other large orders. We sent a 

 sample on request to W. E. Smith, of Kenton, Ohio, 

 a manufacturer of section."!, by the way, and here is 

 what he writes on receipt of it: 



Your sample section just received, 'fo say that 

 they are nice would be expressing it very mildly. 

 I tliink I have never seen any that were anywhere 

 near as fine. I shall probably be over to your city 

 in February to see you atjout getting some" sections. 

 Please accept my thanks for sending me the sample. 



Kenton, O., Dec. 2. W. E. Smith. 



We sent a sample also to M. H. Hunt, Bell Branch, 

 Mich., and on receipt of it he writes: 



The sample sections are just received, and they 

 are fine— in fact, they are the smoothest yet seen 

 here. The V groove is perfection— no fuzzy edges. 

 I shall order 50 M. in a few days. M. H. Hunt. 



We have sent out very few samples as yet, but 

 expect to mail quite a number during the next two 

 or three weeks. We shall be pleased to mail samples 

 to any address, without charge, if you send 2 two- 

 cent "stamps to pa.y the postage. We shall also be 

 pleased to make prices to dealers and others who 

 buy in large quantities, if you will write, naming 

 quantity you can use. 



the NEW EDITION OF OUR POTATO BOOK. 



The author, T.B. Terry, seldom gets excited and 

 extravagant; but last spring I received one letter 

 from him that made me smile 1 am sure he never 

 thought of having it put in print. But a few lines 

 from it, I feel so sure, may do good, 1 think I will 

 take the chances. Please bear in mind, he would 

 never have written this wsiy if he had had any 

 thought that I would use it here, for he is careful, 

 to a fault, of committing himself. Here it is: 



Mij Dear Mr. Rout:— I want you to come out here, 

 if you possibly C!in, before another storm comes. I 

 want you to see my clover in its glory, before it 

 goes down. I believe the chapter in the potato book, 

 on rotation and clover, can easily be worth lOtK) 

 times the cost of the book to many readers, and I 

 want you to .svc what I can show you now with your 

 own eVes. T. B. Terrv. 



Hudson, Ohio, May :i(l. 



Oh if the farmers of our land would not get led 

 away bv any thing more dangerous than growing 

 clover to get their giound in order, what a happy 

 people we sliould be! I lielicve it was the very day 

 the-above was mailed that I came up with my wheel 

 in the afternoon. I have already told you some- 

 thing al)out the .sight that met my eyes when I 

 caught a glimpse of that clover-Held. Every foot 

 of the ground seemed to be Iiolding more dovtsr than 

 it could very well accimimodatc; and act e after acre 

 was a picture of luxuriant thrifty growth, such as 

 I never saw l)efore. No wonder hisgicat new barn 

 could hardly contain it. The new book tells all 

 about g(>tling such a stand of clover. ;ind without 

 chemical fertilizers or very much stable manure; 

 and 1 shouldn t wonder a l>it if some who buy this 

 book will find it wortli- yes, even i>tie Uiiiiisdiid /i/iie-s 

 ($400) what it costs. Sent free by mail foi' 40 cents; 

 if sent by f reiglil or express with other goods, 35 

 cents.
