AWARDED THE CROWN OF HONORS 
IN THE FACTORY AND IN THE FIELD, BY 
EXPERT MECHANICS AND PRACTICAL FARMERS. 
For Lightness of Draft, For Excellence of Construction. 
For Superiority of Execution. For Simplicity and Durability, 
AND FOR 
New and Valuable Features never before Combined in Harvesting Machinery, 
THE NEW CHAMPION MOWER. 
The new mechanical device 
for giving to the knife bar a 
rapid reciprocating motion, is 
oife of the wonders of modern 
mechanism, and after years of 
the severest trial lias proved 
its superiority. It runs without 
noise, and with’extraordinary 
smoothness and regularity. 
Tlie entire power exerted by 
the horses is applied directly 
to actuating the knife; hence, 
while it is the lightest draft, it 
is the strongest cutting ma¬ 
chine in use, as has been re¬ 
peatedly pro ven in the mowing 
of swamp lands, which bad 
never before been mowed, be¬ 
cause uo other machine 
could be found that 
would do it. The Cutter 
Bar may be raised bodily to a hight of twelve inches horizontally, or be thrown up at any angle, or to a vertical 
position, all without throwing the machine out of gear, or stopping the team. The bar may also be tolded and secured for 
leaving the field without the necessity of the driver leaving Ids seat. The perfect control which the driver has over the bar 
■adapts the machine for use in the worst kind of mowing, readily clearing trees, stone heaps, or other obstructions. 
THE CHAMPION SINGLE REAPER 
This Harvester is expressly de¬ 
signed to meet the wants of far¬ 
mers who cut an unusually large 
amount of grain. The advan¬ 
tages of this machine are the 
width of cut and lightness of 
draft, two very essential features 
in a Reaping machine, From 
twelve to twenty acres of 
grain can be cut down in 
a day. The difficulty hereto¬ 
fore with all Single Reapers was 
the very heavy side draft and 
heavy weight, incident to one 
wheel harvesters. These two 
faults have been completely 
eradicated in tlie Champion 
Single Reaper, and we are pre¬ 
pared to furnish the farmer with 
a Reaping Machine that will cut 
a swath of six feet with¬ 
out side draft, while the ma¬ 
chine itself will not exceed in 
weight the smallest pattern of _ 
the ordinary combined machines, cutting an average swath of four feet. II®“ It is estimated by the most compe¬ 
tent Judges that over one-half of tlie Hay and Grain Crop in the United States is harvested with 
CHAMPION MOWERS AND REAPERS. 
REMEMBER, under no circumstances should: you buy a Mower or Reaper, until you have seen THE 
CHAMPION. When ever you hear of one of thele machines in your vicinity, do not fail to examine it thoroughly.
