McCORMICK'S KJi: APING AND MOWING 

 MACHINE FOR 1853. 



FROM the well known reputation of my Reaper in the 

 hands of more than 700 farmers, and that it has maintained 

 its high superiority wherever it has been fairly tested — hav- 

 ing again, after a nine days' trial with Ilussey's in Engl.ind 

 at the last harvest on the Royal Agricultural farm, which 

 w.is the most extensive trial ever made with Reapers in 

 any country, been declared by the able jury of English 

 farmers as decidedly the best machine in every respect, 

 and recommended to the farmer's of England as one on 

 which they may safely rely to cut their harvest, and which 

 since that time has been rjreaihj improreih and its capabil- 

 ities as a mower thoroughly tested, and which I am now pre- 

 pared to warrant superior to any other, both as a Reaper 

 and as a Mower— further testimonials of its superiority can 

 hardly be necessary. 



That Seymour & Morgan. Manna, and others, are 

 making and selling my inac/iine, a/tereil, much to it/i pre- 

 yudh-e, with the hope of avoiding the responsibility of in- 

 fringing my patent, is the best evidence of the superiority 

 of my own. They will be held responsible, and arrested in 

 their course as soon as the law which is sure can reach 

 them. Those purchasing and using their machines become 

 liable with them. 



To convince any responsible farmer (who is in doubt 

 which is the bes^t machine) of my confidence of the superi- 

 ority of my own, I will permit them to take one of mine 

 with one of Ilussey's or Burrall's on trial, to keep the one 

 preferred; and am ready to submit to the same test such 

 points in other machines, claimed as improvements, that 

 are not my own. 



The new improved Reaper and Mower will be forwarded 

 to any part of the State or Canada, if ordered before the 

 stock on hand is exhausted, of TIIOS. J. PATERSON, 

 Rochester, Office No. 6 Bum's Building. Price $110 cash, 

 or $30 on delivery and $85 on time, and $25 cash extra for 

 mowing attachment, or $30 on time. Subject to freight 

 fVom Buffalo. 



Some few reapers of last vear, an excellent article, can be 

 had at $100 cash and $105 on time. 



For further particulars see handbills.
