McCormick Machines
. . . Insure a Successful Harvest . .
McCORMICK mowers embody all the excellent
features ol McCormick construction tad are made in
various Styles and sizes to meet all requirements.
There is the New Big 4 with its wide cut for exten
sivo fields, and the Little Vertical Lift for the larse
lawo or small fields where trees and shrubbery are
to be found. For fields Hut are full of stumps sud
etones, the Vertical Lift mower is unsurpassed. The
noiseless, smooth cutting McCormick mower is the
machine to buy.
Numerous excellent features
are found oa
-..urniica nsy ranes,amon(! which are: heavy rake
head, best quality spring steel teeth, substantial,
intcrchaiujeuble wheels, protected ratchets, and re
niovshle boxes lu hubs. These rakes are equally
jultable for rkiiif hay from the sw.th, or bunching
from the windrow. Made In either self-dump or
hand-dump style. For durability and quality of
aervice, McCormick bay rakes are unsurpassed.
A successful harvest consists of jjstlierinij all the
(Jrain, no matter what its condition, with the least pos
sible delay and expense. McCormick binders cut all
conditions of drain easily and rapidly, and bind it into
WH.lm "-"" ! Buiiuies ior future naudlinj. Under all
v 'AZ. reasonable conditions the McCormick wilt nvir " . .
M "Hate any lontf delays for repairs, and thus iconardize Mm
entire crop. The machine is so simple iu construction
and easy to operate that it can be relied upon to do the
work at all times.
The hay tedder Is now recognized as being indis
pensable to the proper handling of hay. It is a great
time saver, because tedded hay will cure quicker than
nntedded hay. It Is also a hay saver in case of wet
weather. McCormick tedders are constructed with the
same care that characterizes all machines of this notable
line, and have become general favorites wherever hay
is grown. Steel frame, steel wheels, steel forks, and the
positive and uniform gear drive, make McCormick
tedders durable and extremely elhcleut.
