Eight Reasons for Buying the Crawford Improved. 
1—The Frame is made entirely of Iron, thus pre¬ 
venting warping and spi inglug, while the Gearing is 
so securely boxed as to keep it entirely Ireo from 
dust and grit. 
2. —The shafting is all held firmly by the Frame, 
and consequently must always work in Hue, with 
equal friction on the bearings, until the Machine is 
worn out. 
3. The Machine is II ecu rate! y balanced upon the 
Driving Wheels, »o that, the horses’ necks are en¬ 
tirely relieved from a heavy weight. 
4. —The device for lowering and raising the Cutter- 
bar is very simple and ofTeetive; also, that lor chan- 
S lng the angle of the cutting apparatus, the driver 
eing able to effect these changes almost Instantly. 
5-Four bolts only are required for the Cover, 
Caps. Seat. Shafting, Gearing aud Frame. 
G.—Thu seat lor the driver answers a double pur- 
jxiue- h* u Uml-box amt seat combined. 
The Gearing of the Cha w run ft IMPROVED
