44 BRIEF NARRATIVE OF THE 



To Obcd Hussey— Dear Sir:— Having used one of your Reapers 

 upon land, a great deal of which was hilly, stony and rough; I take 

 pleasure in saving that it has given entire satisfaction, and proved to 

 be a very durable, well built,and great labor saving machine. 



Respectfully, 



A. B. DAVIS.

1 made an experiment this season in my field, of testing the Mc- 

 Cormick and Hussey Reapers. I tried each fairly, and under similar 

 circumstances. I a'm satisfied that Hussey's is decidedly the best 

 Reaper, both as to cutting grain and durability.— The objections made 

 to Hussey's Reaper by agents and manufacturers of other machines, I 

 do not find, upon trial, to exist in any one particular. 



WM. STAGE. 



We, the undersigned present at the trial, concur in Mr. Stage's 

 statement:— Z. Pritchett, John Reber, Philip Stuart, Isaac Stage, John 

 Hogeland, Michael Eyer. 



Salem Tp. Champaign Co. O. July, 1851. 

 I have worked with McCormick and Hussey's Reapers three sea- 

 sons, and unqualifiedly pronounce Hussey's the best machine. It 

 cuts cleaner and faster, and leaves the grain in better order on the 

 ground; and this is the opinion of every hand in giving an expression 

 of the comparative merits of the two machines.

 I have for the past four seasons worked Hussey's Reaper, and 

 unhesitatingly pronounce it vastly superior to McCormick's or any 

 other Reaper I have seen used.

 I have had Hussey's Reaper used on my farm. — It will cut 20 acres 

 of the heaviest wheat per day, with ease. I consider it far superior to 

 the McCormick Reaper. JOSHUA BUFFINGTON. 



Ross County, Ohio, July, 185 1. 

 I have used Hussey's Rcaper.and consider it an invaluable machine. 

 I have seen McCormick's Reaper operate, and am of opinion that 

 Hussey's is the best machine.
