CERTIFICATES. 



Mr.'Newell— I have used the Nos. 1 and 2 Howard 

 Ploughs, which I purchased of jou, and am much pleas- 

 ed with them. I have used a number of different kinds 

 of cast iron ploughs, but have never Ibund one that did 

 the work so perfectly, with so little labor. 



DANIEL CHANDLER. 



Lexington, Aug. 27, 1831. 



Mr. Newell— The Howard Plough which Capf. D. 

 Chandler introduced into Lexington, Irum your establish- 

 ment, I consider to be a first rate article. I purchased 

 a No. 2, lastsprieg, and turned over about eight acres of 

 very rocky turf sward land. 1 have likewise used it 

 through the season upon different soils, some of which 

 were very rough and stony, and find tb.it it holds well 

 and does the work easier and more perfectly than any 

 other plough I ever used on my farm, either wood, 

 wrought or cast iron. ,
