TKCE IPEOI^I^ft- STEEL JPI^O'Vt^ AVOI^KIS 



Were enlarged by Toljey & Antlersou from time to time, i» 

 order to increase their liicilities for maiiufacturinfr, aiul en- 

 able them to keep pace with the gi'owing demand lor their 

 plows. 



The market for these plows embraces all of the Western 

 and bouthwestei-n States, California jind Oregon, and the in- 

 creased annual demand for them is the best evidence of their 

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

 of workmanship, and their adaptability'to all the varied soilfe, 

 crops, and modes of cultivation, over such an extended iicld. 



In March, 1867, the present proprietors procured a more 

 central and larger lot for manutacturing purposes, upon 

 which they erected entire new hyildings, furnishing them 

 with all the latest improved m|^Bner^ for manufacturing 

 Plows, several of which were thUnventions of and mad^by 

 our Mr. J. Dufl", 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, Ihat present new angles and curvatures, insuring 

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

 most approved performance of turning the soil, and con- 

 lidently offer them to the public, feeling sure that with our 

 long and extended experience in the manufacture and sale of 

 Plows in the West (since 1813), we shall be able to give all 



who deal with us. and to thosi' who use our Plows, /'<'r/Vi7 

 satisfaction, and that we now have the most perfect scries ot 

 (tillereut shape Plows, adapted to all Uinds of soil and work 

 in the world. 



We shall spare no efforts in endeavoring tt» ftdvanco in im- 

 provement, and in keeping up with the dcmiind that may 

 develop from year to year, "and t<3 merit the continuance ot 

 the liberal patronage heretofore received 



All our Plows are Hardened and have Cast Steel Sharcj^. 

 and are warranted to scour in any soil. 



Dnrlng the i)ast season we niin.-tl out .some ten tiioiisnn<1 

 Plows, more than nme thousaml nf wliiirb were put in actual 

 use. and we have had only tlini- cnniiihiints out Of the whok*, 

 which we feel bears us out fully in our jplfdge. 



For the past month we have been still further perfecting 

 our shops and machinery, and shall continue to .cpare 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.
