Having purchased the right to manufacture the above 

 represented Wheat Gleaner in Richmond, with pi ivilege 

 of selling the same in Eastern Virginia, with the excep- 

 tion of the counties of Fauquier, Loudon, Madison, 

 Orange, Green, Albemarle and Louisa, I take this me- 

 thod of soliciting your order for as many as you may 

 need for the coming harvest- 



I feel fully assured that I am advancing your interest 

 to a far greater extent than my own, by urging the im- 

 portance of this article to your attention. INo farmer 

 who makes wheat on 20 acres of land can afford to be 

 without one. So sanguine am I, that you cannot dis 

 pense with the Gleaner alter you have once used it, 

 that f am willing to send you one, subject to be returned 

 to me, if after a fair trial, it is not found as represented. 



Binders need not carry hand rakes, nor use extra ef- 

 forts to secure scattering w heat, as the Gleaner will se 

 cure every head, and may be used with safety over roll- 

 ing, rocky, stumpy and uneven land, at the rate of about 

 •20 acres a day. 



Under favorable circumstances, when used after cra- 

 dles, it will save more than cost each day it is used. 



It will save more wheat, following the revolving wood 

 rake, than that rake will the first time going over the 

 ground. No farmer that I know, or can hear of, who 

 has once used one would dispense with it for three 

 limes its cost. Independent of its value as a Gleaner 

 and hay rake, it is invaluable tor raking in clover, grass 

 and other small seeds. See Southern Planter, March, 

 1856, and June, 1855. 



§3^Please order at once, to give time to forward the 

 Gleaners before harvest and prevent the many disap- 

 pointments occurring in harvest. 



My Threshing Machines are now so prominently be- 

 fore the public; that I need only refer t© them and call 

 particular attention to the fact that they have so far 

 excelled other machines, as to secure all the premiums 



of the Virginia Agricultural Society at their exhibitions 

 in 1853,1854 and in 1855, although each year brought 

 in competition with all the prominent machines manu- 

 factured in this and the Northern states. This is also 

 true of the Pitt's Patent Thresher and Cleaner which 

 I am manufacturing in a superior and improved man- 

 ner with steel axles and self oiling boxes. 



This is the best Thresher and Cleaner in the estima- 

 tion of the most experienced, and being perfect in itself 

 and mounted upon wheels can be put to work in any 

 field in one hour without any previous preparation, and 

 the wheat may often be threshed and secured in bags 

 with less labor than is expended in hauling it a mile to 

 a stationary machine. My improved horse power which 

 attracted so much attention at the Fa r of the Virginia 

 Agricultural Society last November, at which time it 

 received the first premium, is adapted to any machinery 

 and has many advantages worthy of particular attention. 

 The. horse wheel is 7\ feet diameter, secuiing plenty ot 

 motion. It requires no digging to secure it for working 

 — may he connected with thresher. by geer, avoiding all 

 annoyances of slipping bands, breaking strings, &c, 

 and is equally well adapted to the use of bands if pre- 

 ferred. Any farther information will be given if desired.
