The reputation of the NOVELTY 
JOB PRINTING PRESS is thor¬ 
oughly established, as meeting all 
the requirements of a first-class 
press,with which to “ do your own 
printing ,” and as being second to 
none for the use of General Job 
Printers. Many printers are using 
them, and find them most admira¬ 
bly adapted for job work. Many 
young men have bought them, 
and are doing all the printing for 
the house which employs them, thereby materially adding to 
their salaries. Traders and Manufacturers are finding 
them great aids to their business. Principals of Schools are 
finding them very useful assistants; and boys are finding 
them a never-failing source of instruction, pleasure, and 
profit. Most lads of fourteen, with one of these presses and 
a few dollars’worth of material, are perfectly capable of 
doing all the printing for their father’s business, and will be 
thereby gaining instruction. Prices of Presses, $15, 
$30, $3‘i, $50. Send for full descriptive illustrated cir¬ 
cular, with testimonials from all parts of the country, and

r J|WIE CLIPPER MOWERS AND REAPERS. 
The great field trials at Sedalia, Mo., and at Xenia, Ohio, 
in the summer of 1869, where the Clipper met some forty 
competitors, including all the leading machines built, and 
was awarded the First Premiums and Gold Medal—prove 
that the proprietors have been able to sustain, in the field, 
their claims of superiority for the Clipper Machine over 
all others. 
Its EXTRAORDINARY LIGHTNESS of draft takes one- 
third of the labor oft' the team. The adjustability of the 
finger-bar to cut high or low, without stopping the team, is 
worth §25 on any machine. It is the only Mower that, has 
the true center draft, in accordance with correct mechan¬ 
ical principles. In short, It is Hie lightest, the most dura¬ 
ble, the least complicated, the most perfectly constructed, 
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 lias used the Clip¬ 
per. See the machine yourself before you liny any other.

JOIINSTOST’S PATJEMT 
SELF-RASING REAPER. 
CHAMPION 
OF THE 
^ A. 2 ^ IE 3 ® 
PRIZE. 
The most competent and practical Self-Raking Reaper 
before the American public is that of the “JOHNSTON 
PATENT;” in fact, it is the only “ORIGINAL DEVICE” 
that is of practical worth for REELING and RAKING grain. 
It is the only Reaper that will save the entire crop when 
badly tangled and lodged. 
There is no grain that grows or becomes so tangled and 
lodged that this Reaper will not cut , clean , and deliver in the 
most satisfactory manner. (By this we do not mean that it 
straightens the straw or lays it as compact as when stand¬ 
ing); otherwise we mean all we say. Its draft is about the 
same as that of a Light 4-ft. Cut Mower; we make them to 
cut a 5 or 6 feet swath; 15 acres is ail ordinary day’s work. 
A 6 feet cut was used the past summer by a man and an or¬ 
dinary span of horses, and cut 21 acres between sunrise and 
sunset; it is simple in its construction, so much so that any 
boy or ordinary field hand can work it to its full capacity, 
or it can he worked automatically, as preferred. ‘We manu¬ 
facture for the States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylva¬ 
nia, and New York State east of the Genesee River, except 
the Counties on the Hudson River; and are prepared to 
furnish Machines to the farmer or the trade. For other par¬ 
ticulars send for Circulars in pamphlet form.
