A. B. Farquhar, Co., York, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—I enclose check which is in payment for potato digger. 
I would have sent you the money before but I got my check for my potato 
crop only yesterday. The machine was very satisfactory, handled all kinds 
of weeds, big and little, remarkably well. I do not believe we left two 
bushel of potatoes on seven acres of ground and there would not have been 
that many had it not been for the weeds. We feel that we could not farm 
potatoes now without the elevator digger. A number of my neighbors came 
to see it work and they all said it did the work fine. 
Yours respectfully, 
R. F. D. No. 5. Henry L. Frantz.

A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd., York, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—Enclosed please find certified check for the diggers. I 
thank you for extending my time a little. We have had a very unfavorable 
season in which to use the diggers, but they have given excellent satisfac¬ 
tion. The one I sold worked in a lot that was almost paved with stone and 
it was given as severe a test as a machine could have, and it was an un¬ 
qualified success. 
I confess I was somewhat discouraged over my first test that I gave it, 
but I know now that all the fault lay in my ignorance of the machine, and 
now I am enthusiastic. I shall undoubtedly do a good business for this 
territory next season. Yours very truly, 
Geo. A. Temple.

Gentlemen:—I have used your Hallock O. K. Elevator Potato Digger 
for which Mr. Gunther is agent and think it a first-class machine. I used 
two horses through very heavy clay ground.

Dear Sirs:—Doubtless you think strange of my waiting so long to make 
report on potato digger. However we put the machine to work and it 
handles them to perfection. I am satisfied with the machine. It is doing 
fine work. Expect to get some orders now in shortly. 
Yours truly, 
E. S. Meanley. 
Harrington, Del., Oct. 24, 1907. 
A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd., York, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—I have tried your digger this week and it gives perfect 
satisfaction. It gets the potatoes all out and throws them on top of the 
ground. The O. K. Elevator Potato Digger is 0 . K. Thb boys are pleased 
with it. I will close. 
Yours respectfully,

Hawley, Mass., Nov. 21, 1907. 
A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd., York, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—The potato digger worked fine and I am much pleased 
with it. I had five acres of potatoes and they yielded 975 bushels of 
marketable potatoes. They are a fine lot of potatoes of the Green Mountain 
variety. Next year I shall plant ten acres anyway and perhaps more. I 
have seen the . . .. and . . . diggers work and am convinced mine 
is far superior. That is a heavy clumsy complicated affair and I would not 
take one as a gift. While the O. K. is compact, simple, light and durable 
in every way. I hope to influence some of my neighbors to buy the O. K. 
I have a pair of light weight horses not over 2100 and they drove it all 
right, but of course it was a little heavy for them. Shall have a new pair 
next year. I shall be glad to recommend the O. K. to any one you may 
refer to me. ' Yours truly, 
H. C. Harmon.

. Gentlemen: I have tried the 1907 O. K. potato digger to my entire 
satisfaction. I am only too glad to keep and pay for such a perfect working 
digger as that has proven itself to be. I will pay for it according to agree¬ 
ment; within 30 days after one day’s trial, which will be right around the 
10th of November. _ What are your terms to agents? I would like the 
agency for this vicinity if your terms are liberal enough, as I think I might 
sell some. Thanking you for the confidence placed in me and allow me to 
remain, Faithfully yours,

expected it would or could. Yours respectfully,

Herbst, Ind., Oct. 24, 1907. 
D. Y. Hallock & Sons, York, Pa.' 
Gentlemen:—Enclosed you will find my check less the freight for pay¬ 
ment in full for potato digger that I ordered last August. I am well pleased 
the way the digger works. It does the work in every respect, just as well 
as the . . . and is from one to two horse lighter draught. If I can do you 
any good in the future will be glad to do so. 
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:—Enclosed please find draft for O. K. Potato Digger you 
shipped to me Aug. 30th. I have my crop dug. It worked fine, all that I 
could expect. I dug 90 bushels in one hour with one span of horses. Dug 
four acres in less than nine hours. 
Yours respectfully, 
Mr. I. K. Borden. 
Detroit Harbor, Wis., Nov. x, 1907. 
A. B. Farquhar Co., Ltd. 
Gentlemen:—The potato digger arrived just in the nick of time, was 
greatly worried over its delay, as there was many neighbors depending on 
it. I gave it ten days hard run, was persuaded to put it in veritable stone 
heaps, dug in one and one-half inches frozen crust with one team though I 
often put two teams on in a good sized patch. I broke the pole and twisted 
the fastenings but no fault of yours nor the digger. It gave the best of 
satisfaction everywhere and I prize it above all other machinery on the farm. 
Enclosed you will find check for balance. 
Yours respectfully, 
Gus Jacobson. 
Elgin, Okla., June 27, 1907. 
D. Y. Hallock & Sons, York, Pa. 
Sirs:—I enclose check in payment of Potato Digger. We started digger 
17th. It has dug 15 acres. It does very well. It is heavier draft than 
I expected, however it does good work, which is the main thing. There will 
be several diggers sold here next spring. 
Yours truly,

Spokane, Wash., Oct. 23, 1007. 
D. Y. Hallock & Sons, York, Pa. 
Gentlemen:—O. K. digger received and tested. It has given general 
satisfaction to myself and others who have investigated its work and action 
while at work. Those who had knowledge of the work of other machines 
claim this does better work than two of the most prominent machines now on 
the market. . Personally I like the machine for the ease in which two Taorses 
can handle it. My team of two 1050 pound horses handle it O. K. The 
machine sent me was a single wheel one. I have tried it on level, semi 
ridged and ridged; potatoes clean, weedy, dry vines, green vines, straight 
rows, crooked rows; level land, hillside land, etc., etc. 
Yours respectfully,

Dear Sirs:—I received the O. K. elevator digger the 3d of October, 
1907, and I am well satisfied with the machine in every way. The only 
fault I can find is it works so well that all of my neighbors want to use it. 
I let a few of them use it for an advertisement this fall as I could not order 
any more as it was so late when I got mine. Please send me agency. 
Yours truly, 
J. R. Dailey.

Gentlemen:—I gave the O. K. potato digger a fair trial and find it as 
the name implies: all 0. K. I find it as good a machine as I ever used 
and I have used the best machines that are manufactured.
