FEED CUTTER, 



MANUFAOTUBKD FOR 



DEALEKS IN 



HARDWARE & AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, 



No. 7 EAST KING ST., LANGASTES, PA., 



Has been demonstrated by competitive tests to be THE 

 BEST FEED CUTTER IN THE MARKET. The feed-roll 

 is operated by a new and novel device which completely 

 overcomes the objection to the uneven action of other cut- 

 ters, while the length of cut can be varied to meet the wants 

 of the operator without the removal of any gear-wheels. 

 The material and workmanship are of the very best class, 

 and guaranteed to give satisfaction to the purchaser. Farm- 

 ers are invited to call and see for themselves. 



"THE CHAMPION." 



The Champion Reaper and Mower, which we have sold 

 with such entire satisfaction to our customers for the last 

 six years, still maintains the lead of all competitors — 

 33,74>l having been manufactured for the harvest of 18T5 

 — aud we have already completed our arrangements to sup- 

 ply the increased demand for next season. The Farmer 

 who buys the Champion is always satisfied that he has the 

 full worth of his money.
