IMPROVED REAPIIVG WACHIIVE, 



MANUKACTUKKD AT BROCKPORT. MONROE CO., N. Y. 



THF, subpcribors are preparinf; to offer to the Farmers a superior 

 REAPING MACHINE. Having for years beKii cDgagdd in 

 manufacturing a large number of J\h Cn7-mtck''s Reapers, they are 

 confident that the Reaper which tbey are now manufacturing is 

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

 thoroughly tested in the harvest fl<-!as lai^t year and gave entire 

 satisfaction to all who witnessed its opi-ratiou It surpasses any 

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

 C»//cr or Sickle being in sections, in case 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 diameier. and all the geeriug runs in iron boxes. An early or- 

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

 have already contmcted for the sale of 300 for the West. In all 

 cases a liberal waiTant is given to the purchaser. 



The improved Reaper was constructed under the supervision of 

 our Foreman Mr. CJko. F Burnet, who baa been engaged three 

 years for us in the business. SEYMOUR & MORGAN.

SwFDKN, Noy 12. 1819 



Messrs Seymour. Morgan & Co.— In my harvest. last season,! 

 used one of your Improved Grain Reapers. 1 had formerly used 

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

 siderable knowledge of them. In comparison. I think yours deci- 

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

 is the greatdei^ideratum.itisfar in advance of his.and next, in case 

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

 Reaper until a large part of my harvest was completed; conse- 

 quently 1 had not an opportunity to te.'^t the amount that could 

 be cut in a day. still I am satisfied that it is rap^ible of cutting 

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

 perfect manner. 1 used no change of team. I did not find it 

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

 per day. I tested yourm:»chine in wet grain and when there was 

 grass at the bottom: here f found it had a great advantage over 

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

 grain, some badly lodged, without an> apparent difBculty of clog- 

 ging the knife. And from ray experience 1 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 outline^ it the ordinary way — 

 Wheat can be bound anJ shocked in a b'tttr manner, and with 

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

Messrs. Seymour 8t Morgan:— Gents— I usede 

 Reapers in my harvest, which worked better than any I h; 

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

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

 1 have had much experience with Reapers—having purchased 

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

 put a large number of McCormick's in operatiou at the We?t. and 

 believe yours to be the mobt perfect Reaper now in use, 



A. Chafpf.ll 

 I used one of Messrs Seymour &. Morgan's Reapers last harvest, 

 and cheerfully recommend it to Farmers as the best machine 

 within my knowledge for cutting grain. Gr.o, H. Als.en.
