IMPROVED REAPING MACHIIVE, 



MANUFACTtiKKD AT BROCKPORT, MONROE CO., N. T. 



THF; subscribtTS are preparing to offer to the Farmers a superior 

 REAPING MACHINE. Having for years been engaged in 

 manufacturing a large number of JilcCvrmick^s Reapers, they are 

 confident that the Reaper which they arc now manufacturing is 

 far superior in every respect to any other now in use. It was 

 thoroughly tested in the harvest fields la^t year and gave entire 

 satisfaction to all who wilnessed its opt-ration. It surpasscB any 

 machine now before the public in many important points;— the 

 Cu/(sr or Sickle being in sections, in caee of accident can be re- 

 paired by a good Blacksmith, without the owner being obliged to 

 go to the manufacturers for a new blade The ground wheel is 3 ft. 

 in,diameter. and all the geeringruns in iron boxes. An early or- 

 der is important from those wishing to purchase a machine, as we 

 have already contr;irted for the sale of 300 for the West. In all 

 cases a liberal warrant is given to the purchaser. 



The improved Reaper was constructed under the supervision of 

 our Foreman Mr. Gko. F Burnet, who has been engaged three 

 years for us in the business. SEYMOUR & MORGAN.

Sweden, Nov. 12, 1849. 



McFsrs Si'ymour, Morgan St Co.— In my harvest, last season, I 

 used one of your Improved Grain Reaper.'?. I had formerly used 

 one of McCormick's Improved Virginia Reapers, I have had con- 

 siderable knowledge of them. In comparison, ! think yours deci- 

 dedly preferable; firstly— in point of perfection in cutting, which 

 is the great{de.->ideratum. it is far in advance of his.and next, in ease 

 of operation, 1 think it has decided advantage. I did not obtain your 

 Reaper until a largo jiart of my harvest was completed; conse- 

 quently I had not an opportunity to test the amount that could 

 be cut in ft day. still I am satisfied that it is capnble of cuttiug 

 from fifteen to twenty-five acres per day. and that, too, in the most 

 perfect manner. I used no change of team, I did not find it 

 necessary in doing an ordinary day's work— about fifteen acres 

 per day. 1 tested your machine in wet grain and when there was 

 grass at the bottom; here 1 found it had a great advantage over 

 other Reapers in use. it being able to go through almost any 

 grain, some badly lodged, without any apparent diflSculty of clog- 

 ging the knife. And from my experience I think it a valuable 

 labor-saving-machine, and would cheerfully recommend it to the 

 attention of farmers, as I think grain can be cut with it, all ex- 

 penses counted, at half the cost of cutting it the ordinary way — 

 Wheat can be bound and shocked in a better manner, and with 

 less labor, besides a great saving in the waste of grain. 



Yours &c. F. r. Root. 



I saw the aforesaid. Seymour &, Morgan's Improved Heaper, in 

 F. P. Root's harvest field and do concur in the foregoing state- 

 ment. Wm. Root. Esq.

I have seen the Machine work in very heavy, and also in wet 

 wlieat where it performed well, and'"belieTf it to ho au improve- 

 ment upon McCormick's Reaper. There was no clogging, as in 

 the caie of McCormick'a and it mxut be a good machine if well 

 made. Nathan Locke. 



Brockport, Not. 13, 1849, 



.^^es3^8. Seymour fit Morgan: —Gents— I used one of our Improvtd 

 Reapers in my harvest, which worked bttter thrin any I have seen 

 before used- cutting wheat when there is much grass, without 

 choking, which other machines that 1 have used would not do — 

 I have had much experience with Reapers- having purchased 

 the first one of McCormick's brought to this State. I have since 

 put a large number of McCormick's in operation at the AVesl, and 

 believe yours to be the most perfect Reaper now in use.

I used one of Messrs. Seymour & Morgan's Reapers last ha^^(-^!. 

 and cheerfully recommend it to Farmers as the bc'-t mneh-ot- 

 within my knowledge for cutting grain. Gro. H. Ahi;n.

This may certify that I used in my harvest of Vi49, Svynvm i< 

 Morgan's Improved Reaper, which worki^d to my entire sali-ft.'-- 

 tion; cutting grain in all conditions. I believe it cannot b:- cl"gg- 

 ed in either grassy or green wheat. I have witnessed the opera- 

 tion of other Reapers now in common use and I believe it to 1 1- 

 superior to any that I have seen— cutting wet or prat-sy wh(;-.f 

 where other Reapers cannot. ■ F. W. BnKi^sTiK
