"I have worked with McCormick and Hussey's Reapers three seasons,
and unqualifiedly pronounce Hussey's the best machine. It cuts
cleaner and faster, and leaves the grain in better order on the
ground; and this is the opinion of every hand in giving an
expression of the comparative merits of the two machines.

"THOS. OUTRAM."

"I have for the past four seasons worked Hussey's Reaper, and
unhesitatingly pronounce it vastly superior to McCormick's or any
other Reaper I have seen used.

"I have had Hussey's Reaper used on my farm. It will cut 20 acres
of the heaviest wheat per day, with ease. I consider it far
superior to the McCormick Reaper.

"JOSHUA BUFFINGTON."

"July, 1851.

"I have used Hussey's Reaper, and consider it an invaluable
machine. I have seen McCormick's Reaper operate, and am of opinion
that Hussey's is the best machine.

"D. M'CONNELL."

"I have used Hussey's Reaper for four years. I prefer it to every
other machine. I do not have to drive fast, and the raking is the
easiest work in the field.

"JOHN EARSOM."

"Salem Township, Champaign County, O.,
"August, 1851.

"I bought a Hussey Reaper this season, and it has given the best
satisfaction. I cut wheat that was down as badly as any I ever
saw. It operated well by driving in a slow walk. My hands would
rather rake than bind.

"JOHN LEE."

"Union Township, Champaign County, O.,
"July, 1851.

"I have used for five years Hussey's Reaper. It is a labor and
grain saving machine. It is a much better machine than
McCormick's, in several particulars; it is more substantial, not
so liable to injury, and will cut faster and cleaner. I cut this
season, with three horses, sixteen acres of heavy wheat, in five
hours and thirty minutes.
