Were enlarged by Tobev A Anderson from time to time, in 

 order to increase their facilities for manufacturing, and en- 

 able them to keep pace with the growing demand for tlieir 

 plows. 



The market for these plows embraces all of the Western 

 and Southwestern States, California and Oregon, and the in- 

 creased annual demand for tbem is the best evidence of their 

 superiority in the material of which they are made, the llnish 

 of workmanship, and their adaptability to all the varied soils, 

 crops, and mooes of cultivation, over such an extended field. 



In March, 1867, the present proprietors procured a more 

 central and larger lot for manutacturing purposes, upon 

 which they erected entire new buildings, furnishing them 

 with all the latest improved machinery for manufacturing 

 Plows, several of which were the inventions of and made by 

 our Mr. J. Duflf, a most thorough mechanic: and we believe 

 we now have the largest and most complete Plow Factory in 

 the country. 



We have added to our assortment of Plows a number of 

 new styles, that present new angles and curvatures, insuring 

 greater depth of furrow, with lightness of draft, and the 

 most approved performance of turning the soil, and con- 

 fidently oflfer them to the public, feeling sure that with our 

 long and extended experience in the manufacture and sale of 

 Plows in the West (since 1843), we shall be able to give all 



who deal with us, and to those who use our Plows, perfect 

 satis/action, and that we now haTe the most perfect series of 

 different shape Plows, adapted to all kinds of soil and work 

 In the world. 



We shall spare no efforts in endeavoring to advance in im- 

 provement, and in keeping up with the demand that may 

 develop from year to year, and to merit the continuance of 

 the liberal patronage heretofore received. 



All our Plows are Hardened and have Cast Steel Shares, 

 and are warranted to scour in any soil. 



During the past season we turned out some ten thousand 

 Plows, more than nme thousand of which were put in actual 

 use, and we have had only three complaints out of the whole, 

 which we feel bears us out fully in our pledge. 



For the past month we have' been still further perfecting 

 our shops and machinery, and shall continue to spare neither 

 pains nor expense to keep our Plows ahead of all others, 

 guaranteeing at all times our prices to be as low as any 

 similar style and finish of first class Plows.
