JPCOKMICK’S PATENT REAPING AND 
MOWING MACHINE ! 
AY7"1TH the advantage ol large experience, for many 
VV years, in the exclusive business of making and sell¬ 
ing iliese machines, I have during the last harvest, »nd 
since that time devoted much time and expense iu exper¬ 
imenting to perfect my machine as a reaper and mower, 
and am now prepared to warrant this machine superior 
to every other as a reaper and as a mower. The attention 
of Farmers is called to the following improvements for 
1853: 
1st. Iron Bearn for combined machine, which allows 
the grass to p«ss over more freely, together with improve¬ 
ments in the lingers. 
2d. A set)-adjusting arrangement for mowing, by which 
rbe beam rises and falls, ai.d thus accommodates itself to 
the tnequahties of the ground, which is very important 
for mowing, though entirely unnecessary for reaping. 
3d. Very fine cut sickles for grass. These improve- 
meets insuring the perfect performance of the mower. 
4th. Shortening the platform and placing the raker clos¬ 
er to his work iu reaping. 
5th. a new and beautiful arrangement by which the 
machine may be raised from the ground to any desired 
height in five minutes time, with tile main wheel enlarged. 
From the well known reputation of my machine, in the 
hands of more tlian 7,000 farmers, in this country, and 
that it lias maintained its high superiority, wherever it 
has been fairly tested. Having again, after a scries of 
trials at. the last harvest in England, and after a conte.-t 
with Hussey’s, in a trial of nine days, upon the Royal Ag¬ 
ricultural farm, which was the most extended contest ever 
made with Reapers in any eouutry, been declared by the 
able jury of English farmers (see their report in my hand¬ 
bill.) decidedly the best machine, capable ot cutting when 
the grain was green or ripe, wet or dry, iu all weather 
when Hussey's could not be worked. 
The verdict was that McCormick’s machine is entitled 
to general patronage, that it was considered next to per¬ 
fect in principle, such as good cutting at any pace of die 
horses ; proper delivery at the side, and economy of both 
house and man labor — an implement that might be de¬ 
pended upon for a liarvest by any farmer. Further testi¬ 
monials of its superiority can hardly be necessary. 
To convince such responsible fanners as are in doubt 
which is the best, machine, and of my entire confidence in 
tlie superiority of my own, 1 will permit them to take one 
of mine, with one of Hussey’s or Hurrah's on trial, to 
keep the one preferred. 
That Manny, Seymour & Morgan, and others, who are 
making and selling my machine, in « changed and in¬ 
jured form, with die hope of being able to avoid the re- 
sponsibilit) of infringing my parent, is the best, evidence 
of the superiority of my machines. They will all be held 
responsible, and tlieir infringements arrested as soon as 
die law, which is sure, can have its course. Those pur¬ 
chasing aud using their machines, become jointly liable 
with them. 
Tlie purchaser of tlie Reaper and Mower will save 885

FIRST PREJIHJM REAPER. 
A T the great Trial of Reapers in the Harvest Field at 
. Geneva, N. Y., in July last; the Burkali. Reaper, in 
j competition with eieven others, was awarded the 
FIRST PRIZE OF FIFTY DOLLARS I 
! and also a Diploma, by a Committee of twelve, appointed 
j by the New York State Agricultural Socle.y. The Com- 
[ mit.tee, in tlieir Report, remark, that “ T D. Burrall’s 
I machine performed its work in the most admirable man. 
! ner ; the gavels were well laid; the ‘workmanship aud ma¬ 
terials were excellent; the circular apron for side delivery, 
| the balance wheel, and an arrangement to elevate tlie exte- 
J rior edge of tlie apron, are valuable features,” &c., &e. 
During the last two years a largo number of these Reap- 
| ers have been in use, giving entire satisfaction in all cases. 
| This cannot be said, in truth, of any other Reaper. We 
i have received letters from more than fifty practical Farm¬ 
ers of Western New York, who have purchased and used 
I this machine, anil all speak of it in the highest terms of 
j approval—pronouncing it superior to any other that has 
| come under tlieir observation. We have published, the 
I larger part of these letters in a hand-bill which we would 
' I”-' pleased to furnish any who may apply either by letter 
i or otherwise. 
! 7.This Reaper has no band-wheels, pullies, straps, or har- 
; ness of any kind to get out of order, as is tlie case with 
other Reapers ; but, on the contrary, it is simple and eom- 
i pact, being made of few parts, well arranged, and each 
part having its proper relative strength — consequently, it 
\ is durable. Its draft is light, and the grain is delivered 
j from it with ease, and in nice order for binding. In all 
j these respects it is superior to any other Reaper. It so 
j struck the Committee at the great trial at Geneva, and oc¬ 
casioned them to remark in their Report, that “ it per¬ 
formed its work in the most admirable manner, and that the 
gavels were well laid,” &c., &c. 
The cutting of wheat, barley, oats, rye, buckwheat and 
seed clover, is so important to the farrnears of grain grow¬ 
ing districts that they should see to it, that they do not get 
forced upon them a second or third rate machine for these 
I purposes. No small consideration, at least, should induce 
them to have any thing other than the best. But how 
shall it be determined which is best, when manufacturers 
and agents each, assert the machine in which he happens 
'. to be particularly interested, to be the best? Under this 
state of things the question should be determined in favor 
of that machine, the manufacturer or agent of which can 
produce tlie largest amount of reliable evidence of its su¬ 
periority. Interested persons are notalways to be trusted, 
but generally disinterested persons are. Well, then, who 
can produce the best and most evidence from the class 
which is reliable ? We claim that we can; and we will 
j begin by reasserting that a Committee of twelve disinter¬ 
ested persons, after seeing all tlie Reapers of any note at 
work side by side, which was tlie greatest test ever liad, 
pronounced the Burrall machine the best. They did not 
will any other best. 
We also say that of all the Burrall Reapers sent out not 
one has been returned. All have given the most entire 
satisfaction, " • most cases have far exceeded the ex- 
| pectations of jmrehasers. These assertions cannot be 
made, in t-uth, in reference to any other Reaper. We are 
therefore, willing to leave tlie question, which is best, to be 
settled by the disinterested; and we would say. inquire 
of those of that class who have knowledge on the subject, 
and also examine the different machines for yourselves, 
and if you do not become convinced that ours is the most 
simple and durable—that it will cut when driven either 
slow or fast—that T wil' out greeu or grassy? wheat—that 
its draft is comparatively light—that the grain can be got 
off from it ,virh ease and in nice order for binding—then 
don’t purchase this Reaper; but if you find it equal in all 
: these good qualities, and far superior in many, to any oth- 
j er Reaper, then those who have not already done so, will 
! please hand in their orders as early as possible, either to 
j our ageuts or ourselves. This will enable us more fully 
| to supply the demand. 
: The undersigned lia-e the ex elusive sale of the Burrall 
I Reaper in the State of New York, west of a line passing 
I north and soutii through Canandaigua.—and those there- 
I fore, who desire to purchase will please hand their order* 
I lo either ourselves, or our authorized agents, who will

the right of selling machines for use in any of the States 
and the Canadas.

PALfflER AND WILLIAJI.V SELF- 
H A KING REAJPEK. 
! rriHIS Machine was patented July 1st, 1851, and has been 
t J thoroughly tested the two past years. It is very sim- 
! pie iu construction, having only one entire cog wheel and 
one pinion iu the whole machine. Tlie driving wheel is 
about four feet, and the grouud wheel thirty inches in di¬ 
ameter; are so arranged as entirely to obviate the side 
draft, and hence a single team can manage it with speed 
and ease. The knife or sickle is scolloped, and cannot be 
clogged in any kind of grain. Tiie grain is raked off so as 
to be out <sf the way of tlie team iu repassing, and is in 
good shape for binding. The size of the sheaf is perfectly 
under t.lre control of ihe driver. By a simple movement 
of his foot, he can throw the rake in aud out of gear. If, 
however, he pay.-, no attention to it, then tiie raking off 
will be done at regular intervals. In backing, the entire 
machine is thrown out of gear, and ceases to operate. H'e 
are tlio exclusive manufacturers of this Reaper for the 
liarvest of 1853, and have been extensively engaged for 
several years in the manufacture of agricultural imple¬ 
ments, and have examined the working of several Reapers, 
and received proposals for building others, but consider 
itiis far superior to them all. Such is our confidence in its 
superiority .hat we now have one hundred of them in 
coarse of manufacture, and shall be ready to deliver them 
on orders by the 1st day of June. We warrant tlie Reaper 
well made of good materials durable with proper care 
and capable of cutting better than by ordinary cradling, 
from 15 to 20 acres of standing grain per day, faying it in 
gavels for binding. 
Appended are a few certificate of its operations : 
Janesville. Wisconsin, Jan. 12, 1853. 
Messrs. Palmer & Williams, Gents.:— After receiving 
your Reaper I laid mine aside, and finished my liarvest 
with yours, (M) acres.) It is a perfect self-raker, it cuts (lie 
grain perfectly iu all conditions, and rakes it off out of the 
wav of the team in lvpassiug it runs lighter Ilian any 
reaper I have ever ufj< 1, two horses managing it with ease. 
Farmers can now rely upon a Self-Raking Reaper, that 
will work to their satisfaction. H. P. CULVER. 
Batavia, October G, 1852. 
Mr. Palmer, Sir:— 1 have cut 70 acres of wheat with 
the Reaper i purcliased of you. M uoh of it was heavy and 
lodged. It cut it iu tin neatest manner and raked it off' 
better than it could have been done by hand, leaving the 
grain ready to bind. 1 only used one span of horses and 
cut nine acres and a half iu 3 hours and »5 minutes. I cut 
nineteen arid a half acres per day. I believe I can cut with 
one good team, 25 acres per day. I have used other kinds 
of Reapers, but consider yours vastly superior to all oth¬ 
ers ; in a word, it is easy for a team, does the work well, 
and is a very great saving of labor and grain. 
Yours, &o , C. R. BRINKERHOOF. 
Batavia. N. Y.. October 25, 1852. 
Messrs. Williams & Palmer, Gents.: —We, the under¬ 
signed, saw the Reaper (known as “ Williams & Palmer’s 
Self-Raking Reaper,”) in full work iu C. R. Brinkerhoof's 
wheat field, in the last harvest, in this town, and we are 
glad of the opportunity to express our entire approbation 
of ihe work done, both in cutting the grain and raking it 
off the machine. We were surprised with its simplicity, 
and could not but admire the ease with which the rakiiig 
part is controlled.

Messrs. J. Ganson & Co.:— I have examined the Self- 
Raking Reaping Machine now Ving built by you. I have 
liad a good deal of experienee in harvesting grain with a 
: Reaper, usually cutting my own grain, from 100 to 150 
acres per year, and am free to say that I consider Palmer 
& William's Self-Rakiug Machine the best Reaper 1 have 
ever seen. F\ p. ROOT. 
Brockport, January 1, 1853. 
Messrs. J. Ganson A Co., Sirs :—I cut with the Self- 
Raking Machine I had of Palmer & Williams, in the last 
harvest, about 80 acres of wheat; some of it was badly 
lodged. I have tried several reapers, but consider yours 
vastly superior to any I have ever used. The raking off 
was well done. It drops the grain in good shape for bind¬ 
ing, without leaving a trail. The cutting is done without 
clogging and the draft I think full one-third easier for a 
team than the ordinary reaper. ISAAC PALMER. 
Springfield, Ohio, July 2, 1852. 
Mr. Palmer: —This certifies that we were the binders 
of the grain on the filial trial of Reapers, by the Ohio State 
Agricultural Society, and that it is our opinion that Pal¬ 
mer & Williams’ Sell Raking Reaper left the grain iu the 
best manner for binding of any Reaper on the ground, and 
that it done all its work equal to uny of them.
