And many other like encomiums have been enthusiastically 
awarded this Reaper, the past few years, lor meritorious 
work. 
It is the only reaper that will save the entire crop when 
badly tangled and lodged ; and it has the only Original De¬ 
vice that is of practical worth for Heeling and Raking grain. 
We make them to cut a 5 or 6-feetswath, the draft of which 
is about the same as that of a 4-feet cut light mower. 15 
acres is an ordinary day’s work. 21 acres were cut with an 
ordinary pair of horses between sunrise and sunset with a 
6-feet cut; it is so simple in its construction, that any boy or 
ordinary field-hand can work it to its full capacity; or it may 
be worked automatically, as preferred. 
For particulars send for Pamphlets, and address

To the No. 4 is attached for reaping either a Dropper or a 
Seif-Rake, and the change is so easily made that not over 
five or ten minutes’ time is required, and only two pins and 
two nuts have to he removed and replaced. As a Reaper 
tire Clipper cuts 514 feet in width, and the bight of cut 
ranges front three to eighteen inches, and can be quickly 
and easily regulated. It is perfectly balanced, leaving no 
weight on the necks of the team. 
Its EXTRAORDINARY LIGHTNESS of draft takes one- 
third of the labor off the team. The adjustability of the 
finger-bar to cut high or low, without stopping the team, is 
worth $23 on any machine. It is the only mower that has 
the true center draft, in accordance with correct mechanical 
principles. In short, it is the lightest, the most durable, the 
least complicated, the most perfectly constructed, and the 
most symmetrical in design of any implement of its class. 
Farmers, the Clipper is the Horses’ Friend, and you 
cannot afford to ignore their welfare. Send for pamphlet. 
Investigate, see or write to some one who has used the 
Clipper. See the machine yourself before you buy any other.

IVe have erected new works for the manufacture of these 
goods, and now hope to avoid the disappointments experi¬ 
enced by our customers, in not being able to supply the 
rapid increased demand. And as to their merits, we can 
produce evidence that they are superior to any thing in the 
market, which fact our Horse Hay-Fork and Fixtures have 
established at 22 State Fairs, where, in 15 months, they 
were awarded 37 First Premiums, and upward of 600 First 
Premiums at County Fairs. All the Premiums awarded at 
State Fairs were from actual test of goods. These facts are 
not equaled in the history of Agricultural Implements.
