I I IUG1 men. Be sure you get the genuine 
^Buffalo Pitts* made only at The Pitts Agri- 
cfULTURAL Works, Buffalo, N. Y. It is said that 
other manufacturers are using the name “ Buffalo 
Pitts ” on their make of Threshing Machines. 
This Unintentional Compliment to the 
great reputation of the only genuine Buffalo I xtts, 
by use of its title to sell inferior machines, is flatter- 
ing to the 44 Buffalo Pitts. V But Agents and 
Threshers must not be deceived, nor hold the 
genuine Buffalo ritts responsible for the . faults 
of its bastard namesake. For Catalogues and Price-

I seeded 3,400 acres of wheat with these machines_The 
stand of wheat is now the best I have ever seen on new
