MCCORMICK'S REAPING AND MOWING MACHINE' 



I AM manufacturing 1000 Reaninfj and Mowinc: Machinns for 

 1854, and fanners who want Machines are requi-sted to send in 

 their orders earl}'. Last year I had not a supply, althougli I had 

 1500 in the market. 



I offer my large experience (both in this country and in Europe) 

 for the last fifteen years and more in this business, as the safest 

 guarantee the farmer can have in the purchase of a Machine of 

 this kind. 



Deeming it useless to insert long advertisements in the newspa- 

 pers, 1 shall be pleased to furnish applicants with my printed Cir- 

 cular. 



Some important improvements have been made, while the Ma- 

 chine will be found as simple and efficient as a Machine of the kind 

 can be. The important points that will present themselves in these 

 Machines, will be Perfect Simplicity, Ease of Repairing, Durability, 

 and Adaptation to the 'R'ants of the Farmer as a Reaper and 

 Mower. 1 shall continue the use of the Wrought-iron Beam, which 

 will be found very important in mowing, because of the friction 

 upon the ground, and lialjility to tear and wear a Wooden Beam, 

 or any sheet-ii;on lining that may be used upon it. Another very 

 important advantage which I claim for my Combined Machine is 

 that it can be readily changed so as to cut any desired height of 

 stubble as a Reaper or Mower by simply removing three bolts. 

 This principle will he found wanting in other machines, though 

 valuable upon rough ground, or for mowing barley or lodged oats, 

 timothy seed, clover seed, &c., or where the ground ma\' not be 

 firm, and there be liability in the wheels to sink and the cutter to 

 be brought in contact with the ground, sand, gravel, &c. With my 

 Combined ilachine the farmer has the advantage of a Reels in 

 mowing, which admit.s of a slow walk to the horses, and is es- 

 pecially valuable when the wind interferes with the successful ope- 

 ration of the Machine. I have no fear of the result ujjon trial of 

 the Machine with others ; it has no superior as a Reaper or as a 

 Mower. 



The public are now especially cautioned to beware of Seymour 

 & Morgan's " Xew York Reaper." These men have been selling 

 my Machines, though under an ivjunction the second time since the 

 re-issue of my Patent in April last, in addition to a verdict of $20,000 

 for past infringements. 



Jjip^ Sundrj' other parties will soon be held to strict account for 

 their infringements under this Patent, which makes them just as 

 liable to be enjoined as Seymour & Morgan. 



The Machine will be warranted equal to any other, both as a 

 Reaper and as a Mower; and it will be fon\-arded to any part of 

 Kew York or Canada, if ordered of THOS. J. PATERSON, at Ro- 

 chester, N. Y., who wants Agents to sell it in some of the unoc- 

 cupied wheat districts. C. H. ilcCORinCK.
