Gents, We place this small sheet in your hands trusting that you will carefully peruse its contents. We have long been of the opinion that the farmers and threshermen of Canada are the best judges of Threshing Machines, and from the long list of testimonials that we have received we are not far wrong in our opinion. We claim that we have the most simple, perfect, and best co;istructed Separator made in Canada to-day. There are some manufacturers that claim to make a Thresher that is not a vibrator nor yet a canvas belt machine, but that it has all the best (jualities of both. This no doubt is to secure both classes, those who use the Canvas Belt, and those who use the Vibrator Grain Saver. You have heard of the man astride of the fence, ready to jump on either side that best suits his purpose ; but the least intelli- gence can easily see that in buying such a comljination he gets neither the one nor the other. Take for instance a combined reaper and mower, it either cuts too slow for a mower or too fast for a reaper, it is not a perfect machine in either capacity. Our Grain Saver Separator has now been before, and used by the public of Canada for over eight years, and the demand has steadily increased each year, having now over looo machines in the country, acknowledged on all sides to be the most perfect Thresher and Separator in the hands of threshermen at the present time, being able to thresh all kinds of grains, also Timothy, Flax and Clover Seeds, and it is the only Thresher that will dispose of Peas satisfactorily, having more sieve room and being wider behind cylinder than any other Thresher made in Canada. In Construction, It is simplicity itself, being composed of less parts than any other Thresher, at the same time having the most ample separating and cleaning capacity demanded, being peculiarly adapted for steam power. In Build and Durability, It is A I, being made of the best material and by the best help and machinery that can be procured. In Satisfaction to the Farmer It cannot be surpassed, threshing his grain fit for market and wasting no.ie, threshing more grain in less time with better results than any other, thereby saving grain, feed, horses and time, all of which represent the farmer's capital. In Price, Combined with durability, simplicity, satisfaction and ease in running, it is the cheapest Thresher that can be bought. Read the testimonials attached, and for further particulars apply to us or our authorized agents. L. D. SAWYER & CO., Hamilton Agrwultural Works, HAMILTON.

I may just say here that the ma- chines give satisfaction wherever used. Parties are cominfj seven and eight miles to get me to do their threshing, and I do think that if people could wait on me we could get work all the year around. The Power works equally as good as the .Separator. Yours truly, JOHN FERGUSON. Huntingdon, Dec. 4, 1878. Messrs. L. D. Sawyer & Co. Dear Sirs, — We purchased one of your " (irain Savers," and we must say we think it is the best ma- chine made in every respect. We have thrtsiied nearly 15,000 bushels grain this fall, and it has given every satisfaction to us and everyone we threshed for, and our expenses for breakages for tiie season has only been about fifty cents. Yours truly, ROBERT WH.SON. JOHN ERWIN. Chatham, 27th Sept., 1879. Sir, — We, the undersigned, employed Messrs. Nat. Jones & Son in threshing ior us this fall with their Hrant- ford Champion Steam Engine and Sawyer's Hamilton Grain Saver Separator. The engine is all that is claimed for it, using less fuel and water thaii other engines, having ample power under all circumstances and being perfectly spark proof. The Vibrator Separator thresiies fast, clean and does not waste grain, and is in every respect a first-class maciiine. Wc recommend these machmes to all farmers desiring satisfaction in threshing, also Nat. Jones & Son as parties who understand their busi- ness and do it thoroughly. (Signed) JOHN URADY. DEAN COI.HY.

Gents, — I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines to let you know how my machines are getting along. With the " Grain Saver " I am very well pleased it has given good satisfaction, and I consider it the best and most durable Thresher made. 1 have threshed 90 days, threshing a total of 60,000 bushels grain. I thought she run better every day 1 used her. .She run day after day until the jobs were finished without stop- ping by belts coming off, &c. For fast threshing it cannot be beat. Have threshed 700 bushels fall wlieat, 1000 bLishels barley, and 1300 bushels oats and barley in ten hours each, and 1 threshed a lot of 400 bushels wheat in less than four hours, the straw being long and tough. I have threshed sheaves as wet as manure — beats anything I ever saw. Some farmers say that they have saved fully $20 by getting the Grain .Saver to do their threshing. Hundreds of visitors came to see me thresh and were astonished at the nice work it did. Other thrcshcrmen got up to feed and tried to choke it down, but they found they wert' not feeding a little canvas belt separator, and when they fed until the sweat run down their breeches they got down and our, declaring that the (jrain .Saver was aheul of any- thing yet. In starting I had a great many enemies, but the Grain Saver beats them all, and I could have had enough jobs to run tv\o machines. I'he Clover Mill also gives every satisfaction and is without doubt the best mill made. My average threshing was from 20 to 30 bushels seed. 1 have run the above machines with the Champion F^n,,inc, which gives every satisfaction. \'ours trulv, S. P. RAYMEK. VVilsonville, Man.. Dec. 11, 1879. L. D. Sawyer & Co. Gents, — The "Grain Saver" which we bought from you cannot be beat for ease of management, fast threshing and doing its work well, and not a cent out for repairs. We have threshed at the rate of four bushels oats per minute and 160 bushels wheat per hour. We would advise intending purchasers to buy the Grain Saver by all means. Yours truly, • Hi.AiR, Moore & Henderson. Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 15, 1879. Gentlemen, — I have much pleasure in testifying to the satisfaction I have had from the " Grain Saver " purchased from you this season. 1 have threshed 20,000 bushels in six weeks. All those for whom I have threshed are highly satisfied and have promised me their work for next season. In fact I am so well pleased that I am going to order another from \our agent for 1880. I most decidedly recommend any one wanting a threshing machine to purchase a Sawyer Grain .Saver ; it is the best in the country. Yours truly, CHAS. O. EVANS. Wh^ Can Beat it ? David Kay, Vroomanton, writes, Dec. ist, 1879— Dear Sir, — I am getting along first rate with the " Grain Saver," can beat all other threshers that come along. We threshed list week two bushels a minute right along for two days, fall wheat two and a half bushels, and five bushels oats. Who can beat that .' Will get a busy run ne.xt season if I am alive and well. Stephen Si'eck and Wii.mam H. Ficatherston, Waterdown, write — We cannot speak too highly of the " Cirain Saver.'

It runs easier than any oilier of the many machines we havo ever worked within the 25 u--ars we have threshed, and know it is less compli- cated than tile old s^yle of machine, liavin.ir hut very feu- pulleys and belts, and costs but very little to keep in repair, we consider it as durable as any Thresher, and far easier to keep in order. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■•■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■HMMimilMmiHUMMHIMUHHMMMn^ to purchase, wc would advise them by all means to buy the " ("irain Saver " Thresher of your excellent manu- facture. VVc, the undersii^ned, have had our grain threshed by, and seen the workiiif^ of the "Grain Saver" Tiiresher, made by L. D. SawYKK & C(J., Hamilton, and owned by Speck & Featherston, and would recom- mend it as the best Thresher we have ever seen, for the foUowin.r; reasons, viz : — 1st. — It runs easier than any other. 2d. — It threshes faster, jd. — It does not waste or throw over any grain. 4th.— It is less liable to get outof order or break down. 5th.— It is much easier to clean up than the old style ' of machines. 6th. —It is better in all respects than the old style, having fewer pulleys and belts, and most breakages can be fixed without going to shop. We would not have any other kind of machine do our threshing, if we could possibly get a Hamilton " Grain Saver." \VII,1,I.\M liKKKOUTlI, Nelson. I'KTKR (JRKKN, Enst Klaml.oro'. WIU.TAM HAI.L.

Saves 1"hree Men and can Thresh 1,400 Bushels in a Day A Perfect Cleaner and Thresher. J. G. Hopper, Moretown, writes— I can heartily recommend the Hamilton " Grain Saver" Threshing Machine as being the best in the market ; very easy on horses ; and a perfect Cleaner and Thresher. The side carriers arc complete and save three men. We have more orders than we can fill, and men from all parts come to see it work, and pronounce it far in advance of other kinds. I have threshed 1,100 bushels of grain in one day, and can thresh 1,400 bushels for money. Have threshed 225 bushels of oats in 1 hour and ten minutes, and 212 of wheat in 2| hours, all cleaned fit for the market. 1 have .saved 7 bushels of clover seed with your seed screen for one farmer. Men who have other machines say they arc not to be com- pared with your "Grain Saver." I also threshed 400 bushels peas for one man who marketed them as the cleanest threshed that ever camc'into the market. No one in want can go astray in buying a Hamilton "Grain Saver."

OrR, Crowland, write— The " Grain Saver" Threshing Machine wc purcha.scd. from you works perfectly and gives the best of satisfac- tion to all wc thresh for, in fact it is the best machine ever brought in this neighborhood. It runs easier and threshes much faster than other machines, wastes no grain, and does not get out of order. Wc use the picker and would not do without it. Out of poor wheat wc have threshed 500 bushels in a day, and can thresh 1,000 bushels of oats with, perfect ca.se, Runs Ten Days in Succession without even a Belt Coming off. R. H. Bennett, Seymour, writes— I simply state that your "Grain Saver" will thresh perfectly all and as fast as it can be got to the machine. 1 have threshed 100 bushels per hour without any trouble. It does not get out of order, and I have run ten days in succession without the least trouble or even a belt coming off. It will thresh the dampest straw ; peas from 6 to 9 feet long, rye the tallest grown, but all the same it pas.ses along as the shortest barley would. It saves all the grain, and the Fanner can be perfectly regulated at the pleasure of the thresher. Charles and H. K. F:vereit, Rose Hill Farm, Hays- villc, Ont., write — Sir— We have done a large business in the threshing line this sea.son. We have threshed 109 days, and have- five or six more days' work yet to complete. Wc don't think there is another machine in the market that eve- gave such satisfaction as this one has done. We have had twice as much threshing as we could do and have con- fidence that this machine shakes more grain out of the straw than pays the threshing bill. With your machine we can thresh 'peas as fast as eight or nine men can feed them to it. 200 Bushels of Oats Per Hour. Chas. MaH)NH:nt, Forest, writes— No other Thresher will at all compare with your "Grain Saver" Threshing Machine. Threshing ab.so- lutcly clean and in all kinds and conditions of grain ; it is easy on the teams, and gives good salisfact-on to all, and is pronounced the best the)- have use We have threshed 700 bu.shels in a day and .^oo bu.shels of oats per hour by the watch. Messrs. Weh H & Dodd, Prince Edwards, write — We have had three other machines, but never knew what threshing was till wc got >-our " (]rain Saver," which is only play to attend to in comi)arison with others. It does its work better and faster. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■<" ^ Al
