PORTABLE FARM ENGINE, 
“NEW MASSILLON” THEESHER, 
Makes the Best THRESHING outfit known. 
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin Testify. 
From John Bechel, New Washington, Ohio. 
Threshermen, look here. If you want a good machine 
this season buy the “ New Massillon." It beats them all. 
No more growling about not threshing clean, or beater 
wrapping, or stirring at the riddles. That is all done away 
with. Start up in the morning and thresh till noon without 
stopping for anything. 
I threshed 500 bushels of wheat and never stopped till all 
was out; could have threshed 200 bushels more before we 
had dinner. 
Threshed 1,700 bushels of grain in one day; had to stake 
three times, and had to move two miles at that. The new 
riddle that is put in now cleans ready for market. 
I threshed 55 bushels of timothy seed in two hours, and 
135 bushels in one-half day. How is that, for high. I can 
beat anything that travels the highway in threshing any kind 
of grain; don’t care where they come from; don’t except 
any of them. 
Put the “Massillon" Engine and the “New Massillon” 
Separator together, and there isn't another machine made 
to heat it. Gentlemen, I am satisfied that I have the best 
machine in the United States. Have threshed twelve years 
and ought to know a little about threshing. 
From Samuel Deppen, Herndon, Pa. 
1 had my threshing done this season by the “ New Massil¬ 
lon ” Separator and 10-IIorse Traction Engine, and they gave 
me the best of satisfaction. It was the best work I ever 
had done. It threshes fast, takes all the grain out of the 
straw and chaff, separates and cleans It well, and don’t cut 
or break it. 
There is no choking or clogging of the machine. 
From T. H. Austin, Janesville, Wis. 
The No. 8 “ New Massillon ” Separator and 10-Horse En¬ 
gine that I bought of your agent at this point, lias given me 
the best of satisfaction, and after a full season’s work I can 
say, without any hesitation, that It is a No.l outfit in every 
respect for fast and good work in all kinds of grain, and 
especially in timothv and flax. (A want long felt by every 
farmer, is now supplied by yonr “New Massillon.”) I paid 
the cash for my outfit, after giving it the most severe tests, 
and being warned bv agents and general agents of other so- 
called first class Machines and Engines that they were 
worthless. 
But I bought your machine on my own iudgment, paying 
very much more than I could have bought other machines 
for, and will say here that I can beat any or all who oppose 
you or your “ New Massillon,” for I can assure you that you 
nave a world beater.
