The United States has out- distanced all the countries on the globe in comfort, luxury, and jovous conditions of human life. She has more railroads than the rest of the world. She exports steel and steel machines to England. The mail goes by at sixty miles an hour. We peruse our electrically printed newspapers by electric light. A netw(;rk of roads ramifies this wide country. We have spread to the Rockies, yea to Cali- fornia, yea west to the Philippines, and south to Cuba. We are wi'thin a week from Chicago to London and less than a day from Chicago to New York. No person needs to wear homespun. We converse and do business a thousand miles apart. The deepest ocean carries our messages. The farmer sows his wheat by machinerv and reaps it by a machine which also ties a knot around the sheaf with human-like deftness and accuracy -and that machine IS tne famous McCormick. The chief agent, the chief initiator, and the chief instigator, the great source, the fountain-head of this wonderful progress of the century is the McCormick, for without the McCormick the illimitable wheat fields, the bread-bearing areas of the world would have remained as of yore beyond the grasp of man. Large areas could be planted, but scarcity of help THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE. TMf FinST STEAMBOAT. ' 1 hindered the harvest. The crop was ruined by over-ripeness and storms. The area that it was possible to till was limited. Before the invention of the reaper, the average size of the farms in America was about 25 acres, and now it is nearly 150 acres. This tells the story of how the McCormick strengthened the farmer on his farm. The reaper not merely lessened human toil, but it increased the value of every tillable acre. It led in the grand march of progress. It gallantly pioneered the way for both railroad and steamship, and then made them profitable by its output, which taxed their utmost carrying capacities. The three great achievements of the century are, the railroad, the steamship, and the reaper. The Steel Horse and ihe Steel Ship have done much, but the Steel McCormick has done more. For when Cyrus McCormick designed, constructed, and put on the market the first practical reaper known to the world, he made the pivot upon which swung the progressive nineteenth century, showing more marvelous achievements in human progress than in all the sixty centuries — the 6,000 years — preceding. The McCormick for the first time in history made bread cheap in the temperate regions — cheap and constant. The McCormick banished the fear of our fathers — famine times — the fear of the failure of the harvest. This glorious invention has doubled the food resources of all nations. It has made possible The Agricultural Capture of the World's Grain and Grass. From the moment when the first McCormick machine ensured the regular food supply of man, the nations have leapt and bounded forward on the road of progress. The inventions of Edison may replenish the world's treasuries with gold wrenched from the fastnesses of the mountains; the discoveries of Tcsla may place within our very hand the long-wasted forces of the sun, the winds, and the rivers; but the fruitful genius of Cyrus Hall McCormick can never be surpassed in its effects upon the well-being of mankind. To Cyrus McCormick is due the enlargement of the results from the world's agriculture. To him is due the enormous growth in wheat raising, and the creating of the hay harvest as the most valuable of all the crops our land produces. To him is due the glory of emancipating the agriculturists of the entire earth from the cramping, back-breaking, uncheered toil of the sickle.

In 1837 he returned to the reaper, which he had previous y secured to h.m by patents, made several valuable improvements, and began to manufacture them for sale.

[Vlam Wheel is UUr ratent. ^ j^ ^^^ ^^ j^e lightest wheels made. Its tire is steel .specially rolled with thickened edges. Its lags are angle steel and strengthen the tire. Its spokes are steel rods doubled and thickened at their ends. All first-class bicycles have copied this from us. Its hub is very wide and bored large for the roller bearing. The sprocket wheel is removable. This Steel-Pinned Drive Chain Outwears Two Ordinary Drive Chains. It is only to be found on the McCor- mick. Its wearing surface is the greatest known; its joints are covered from the dirt; its steel pins do not turn, but the wide bearing of the link turns on the steel pins. This Sprocket Chain Tightener is riveted to a spring steel bar. It springs when a stalk gets into the chain and prevents breakage; it keeps the chain just tight enough; it saves draft. The mouth of the long oil duct is in a handy place; it is our patent. ^. . , This is McCormick's Long-Tested Roller Bearing. Its cage holds the rollers straight with the shaft. This lessens draft. Crooked rollers increase draft. These roller bearings are in both ends of the hub of our main wheel and they are in our grain wheel. We were very busy last Harvest delivering McCormick machines to our vast army of customers— too busy to pay much attention to competitive field trials. To demonstrate the superiority of the McCor- mick to a public already well aware of that superiority, and especially at a time when it was impossible to fill orders already taken, would not be to make the best use of our time ; but in some instances, where the field test has been forced upon us, we have "gone in to win" — because we knew we had that kind of a machine. Space prevents our naming the places and dates, but they number over one hundred in America alone. In France the McCormick had a clean sweep, while in Ger- many, Russia, Australia, and South America it was victorious almost without exception.

Altbough the highest-priced of all harvesters, its sales in ii^oS were the largest ever made. ,;^:"5«<': "X^^^U _. C-. r»« J.. „ show the accurate, costly gear- These rive I- ictures -^^ ^^ u^e RiRht-Hand McCor- mick. The long picture shows the one-piece end sill of the hiirvester, to which is fixed the long steel crank-shaft. Its front box is twice the length of others. Its rear box holds the bevel wheel and pinion immovably together. This pinion and wheel run true all the life of the machine. The top picture shows the sprocket wheel and the removable bushing cut in halves. It shows the shaft and roller bearing partly drawn out. This is the End of the Century construction - costly, but the "Right-Hand" has .the lightest draft at all cost. The picture at the right-hand lower corner shows (through a shadow of a sprocket wheel) the removable bushing partly withdrawn and the roller bearing below. The power for the elevators, reel, and adjuster comes from this sprocket wheel and causes wear and friction. The bushing takes the wear and saves the friction. Other harvest- ers have a solid box, which soon worn out costs a large sum to replace. The central pictures are the main cross-^haft and an enlarge- ment of the clutch cut in half. The removable boxes of the eross-shaft keep in line. They never bird the shaft as in cheap machines; but, not content with this, the removable boxes of the costly-built McCormick are fitted with roller bearings, so, to the fullest extent, the horses arc saved. The McCormick Patented Clutch (costing four times more to make than any other clutch) starts the moving parts of the machine as quickly as would a mower. The pawl is covered from dirt. The steel roller in its point rolls out of the ratchets, saving wear. The bell shipper will not wrap with trash, as it does not turn with the shaft. This superb line of gearing fulfills its purpose. It gives the McCormick wings in comparison with cheap harvesters. 6 A Stiff, Strong, Durable Elevator that StaVS in Line ^^^ °'"^ ^^'^ found on the McCormick. ^ Weak, slimsy elevators get out of line, rip the slats from the aprons, tear the canvas, stop the grain, and worry the farmer. Aprons are the most costly part of the har- vester to replace. Two stiff stays hold the lower elevator frame in place. It can not draw apart or push together, cramping the rollers. The heavy bent steel yoke is riveted to the frame. It keeps the upper apron frame in place. It supports the sea; where the driver can see his work. It stiffens the whole machine. It costs us twice any other yoke to build. The McCormick Hard Maple, Oil-Boired. Removable Boxes wear longer, run easier, need less oil. These oil-soaked boxes are the greatest convenience put on harvesters in years. The farmer looks how hard it is to get oil to the gudgeons when the oil holes have are handily replaced. If the driver is too busy to go to town, he can whittle one out while the horses are eating at noon. We fit all the bearings for the wood rollers that move with these hard maple boxes. The Apron that Carries the Load is Supported in the Middle by a Third Roller. This keeps it from sagging and the grain from going to the rear. Though the aprons are costly, we do not provide the short ones seen in inferior machines. We continue the elevator to dis charge the straw over the wheel. Loosen the Aprons at Night by quickly ' turning up the lower rollers. It is easily done. Turn up the rollers as shown in the upper picture when you put on or take off the aprons, so as to make them buckle and unbuckle easily. The , spring rod just above the large lower roller is a lock that prevents gram from lifting this roller when the machine is at work. Pull the with one finger and the roller is easily turned up with the other hand, Our Improved Spring Platform rp. t. will carry 120 pounds, if necessary, to • •SslXcner ^.^^p apron runninij. No other ma- chine has an npron tightener which stretches the apron more than seven poimds. (The cheap tightener is not strong enough to keep the cheap apron running, and it is uuckled up until the spring is rigid, making the tightener useless.) The spring is adjustable. Both ends of the roller move together. There is only one spring, and the flat bar connects the hinged links. The dew keeps the roots of the grain damp, thus wetting the front edge of the apron, causing it to contract, which draws in the front end of the roller; but when one end goes in or goes out, so goes the other, and the apron is thus always kept running true. Loosen your Aprons every night. It is quite a job on other machines, but is easy and handy on the Righ.-Hand McCormick. Lift the elevator rollers; throw the handle (see cut). There is more than $25 in time saved on this one appliance. Like many other good things, it is to be had only with the McCormick. We provide our popular hard maple, oil boiled, easily changed when worn out boxes for the bearings of this .small roller, which, as every farmer knows, wear out rapidly. The McCormick Patent Windboard can be locked down and locked up. It moves with the binder. It carries the grain to the binder. The open end binder requires a rigid board like this. Sixteen thousand farmers owning old Mc- Cormick and other binders, doug/if t/icsc roller tensions last year to replace old tensions of various kinds. This tells the story of the ever-anticipating McCormick. Our Right-Hand Binder Model of 1899 is the most simple, reliable, durable, and capable binder that ever saved grain and twine in a harvest field. It is a wonderful worker. You can not tell by the appearance of the team when the binder is compressing and tying the bundle. In 1894 we built one of these Right-Hand Binders; in 1895 we built a hundred; in 1896 we built a thousand; in 1897 we built :o,ooo; in 1898 we built 80,000; for 1899, the end of the century, we shall build over 100,000! In construction it is the . ilest of all binders. In operation it is the easiest of all binder;,. It is a Great Twine Saver, is the McCormick knotter. Nineteen balls in the McCormick bind more grain than twenty on the other machines. In a host of field trials its steady, fine work has beaten the irregular performances of the cheaply-built binders. At home and abroad it has been a great win- ning knotter in the season of 1898. It Ties with Great Certainty. It has less moving parts than any other knotter. Other manufacturers want it, and are getting too close to it. We have begun three suits in the United States courts to stop them. It costs money to defend suits, and, therefore, poor devices are never — stolen. The stop-finger in the needle-slot, the knotting-bill point- ing down, the cord-holding disc and the knife revolving with it, the double grasp nn the end of the twine, are only a few of its special points. The Right-Hand Open Elevator has made a clean, wide swath of victories at home. Abroad it has secured w4th ease, almost without exception, the entire list of first prizes. The One Novell Invention made in binders during the past ten years is to be seen in this binder — the trip spring near the center on short leverage is the compressor spring away from the center on long leverage — and more, -vvhile in cheap binders the compressing force is tl rown on to the moving cam wheel, or. the McCormick it is largely on the stationary stud upon which the link is pivoted, and it is thus easy to com- press the bundle. This is our patent. See the two middle pictures. The McCormick Bundle Carrier. The lever responds promptly to the touch. It delivers the bundles just when you want 'em and where you want 'em. They all go off the carrier at once. They touch the ground lightly. It carries more bundles than any other car- rier. When you want to double up a windrow the carrier will take the double load — the extra load does not hurt it — the double load makes it no harder to operate. The boy can work it all day long without being tired. The strong spring brings it back to hold the bundles. The strong spring does two things — it brings the carrier back into place after it has slipped by a stone, and it makes easy the task of the driver in lifting the ends of the teeth to hold the bundles. The men who operate a McCormick Bundle Carrier say they would not work with an ordinary bundle carrier for $io a day; it uses a man up so much; it makes some of the men push so hard that light men have to be strapped into the seat to work the dumping lever. Drive along the country road in harvest time and the straight row you see was made by a McCor- mick; the sprawling row was made by the " mean swinging-finger kind." With this kind the outside bundle strikes the ground first, the next bundle falls two feet after, and so on until they stretch along the field. The machine during all this time is dragging the bundles through the stubble, shelling grain, and increasing draft, but, worse than all, the poor driver, with legs stiff from repeated dumpings, must swing the fingers back into place against the momentum of the machine and the stiff stubble. Fifty dollars would be a small price to pay to be relieved of this knee-breaker. Our bundle carrier is the end of the century triumph of all bundle carriers. Every farmer knows the bundle carrier on the McCormick Right- Hand knocks the cheap carrying apparatus of other binders out of the smallest hope of rivalry. The inventors and the experts, as well as the sharp-eyed farmers, are all alike enthusiastic over our bundle carrier. Other manufacturers know this, and have made us various tempting offers, but we retain it solely for the buyers of the McCormick; for, althougl. 't costs twice as much to make, it is worth five times as much in the field as any other carrier. ^^^^^ A CENTURY OF POINTS IN WHICH THE McCORMICK IS AHEAD OF THE WORLD. t.

Victory and McCormick have been identical words throughout the century. McCormicIc has always been the Medal-Crowned Victor. The McCormicIc has sent numberless competitors into oblivion. Vi/hat are the names of our competitors of 1846, or 1851. or 1855? Where are the would-be rivals of 1863. 1868. 1876. or 1879? Even those so recent as 1893 are sinkinu into the dim past. Before the irresistible march of the ever-conquerinjr McCormick no opposition has survived that met it with different devices -and the opposition of to-day can not compete with the McCormick. although their machines have their basis in McCormick's invention. Vtfe are at the pinnacle of perfection in machine building, not merely from priority, but through our splendid array of special inventive talent, our magnificent plant, and our huge resources of all kmds. concen- trated on building solely one line of machines for the Farmer's Profit. >)s; . ^ ■ , •' V 0.:;,k- T/ie E, rei cni spo, but m P T/te End of the Century reveals the great McCormick Works a^ain .//// /■ ., ^,,000 farmers, zvUk tluir money ready spoke for this mower last season but they were too late -we were sold out THE MoCORMrOK NEW 4 IV,OWER.-4« F«T ..o 5 FEET CUT. 85 On a Right Line ! Always on a Right Line! That's Where the McCormick Finger Bar is At ! -'^'^^^y^ °" ^ ^^s^^ ^^^^ ■ it i^ turned out of our works hung* t a right line with the frame, and after long years of hard use it still stays at a right line. Whether Cuttins Level, or Tilted Low, or Tilted to Cut High, the McCormick Finger Bar is always on a right line. (When the finger bar on other mowers gets untrue — gets out of the right line — then comes t/ieir increase in friction, making it hard for the team and hard for their mowers. T/ieir finger bar gets worn, their knife heads are jerked off. T/ietr pitmans get broken. T/tetr boxes and connections play out, and t/ietr mowers will not cut.) The McCormick has the Finger Bar Hinge Pivoted on the Outer End of the Coupling Frame. This is our Patent. The outer end of the coupling frame is bent horizontally and turned to an exact size in a lat/ie, while the /ii'nge is bored out, making an exact fit. Our hinge is long, giving a wide bearing, thus insuring a joint that will always keep the McCormick bar in line. The Best New Feature In Mowers To-day is the McCormick Patented Draft Rod. By it draft is carried directly to the point of resistance. Take notice that the draft rod is hooked into the rocking shoe at its front end, thus drawing the cutter-bar over the ground instead of pushing it. This feature is only found on McCor- mick Mowers, and it gives them their great reputation for running over the roughest ground without "hogging." Our patent covers the draft rod extending from the moving double-tree to the rocking shoe. The Points of the Guards are raised and lowered on all our mowers without throwing either end of the cutter-bar out of a right line. This is true only of McCormick Mowers. 80 and The Main Frame is the Foundation of the Mower, '^'^° frames of McCormick Mowers are made in three weights to carry cutter- bars of different lengths. They are all of the same type smooth, neat, and the metal is placed to give the greatest strength. The crank-shaft extension is very short — eight mches shorter than on most other mowers This gives great strength and makes the mower run more steadily as the cutter-bar has less leverage to whip the frame back and forth, pounding the tongue against the horses. The steel-forged forked coupling arm, with the heavy round extension to which tne cutter-bar is pivoted, is used Tn Jon McCormick Mowers It is our patent. The front arm is adjust^ able in a head that is sleeved on the end of the crank- shaft extension of the frame, making a connection hav ing ten times the wearing surface of any other mower. The axle turns in the frame in our celebrated roller bearings. Friction is lessened on slow-run- ning shafts that carry loads by the use of roller bearings if they are of the right kind Our roller bearings have been in use sixteen years We know they are right.

The men who build the bars do nothing else and have done nothing else for years They are experts. The steel plates in the guards and the knives, fit and cut hke a new pair of shears. This wonderful accuracy is only attained by workmen who keep everlastingly at this one job. Small builders can not become as skiWu and their mowers therefore have far heavier draft. One poorly fitting guard will increaHc draft at lea.st ten pounds. i, s 't'" wui stee7^!l%!l^^''TT'^'' Finger-Bars and Knife-Bars are rolled when the steel is cold. This increases strength and stiffness about 25 per cent It costs however. The diagonal-tlncknted rear part of the fingcr-bar also stiffens it greatly' and It 18 ,5 per cent stronger in withstanding twisting strains. The wearing plates are extra hard steel, the bolts are counter-sunk with the nuts below, and the guards are of the best curve, to allow close cutting without running into the ground We build our entire cutting apparatus, guards, knives, sections, plates, bolts, and all. We know they are built on honor and that the material is the best money can buy. The McCormick Connecting-Rod gives the knife full stroke. The part of a mower which usually breaks first, which wears out first which gets loose first, which causes the most trouble, is the connecting-rod its' boxes and Its attachments to the knife and fly wheel. Knowing this, we make ours a first-class job. The second-groivth hickory pitman, the extra heavy straps with four rivets at each end, put on and riveted by hand, the Swede's iron bolts and horned nuts, and the joints which allow the bar to take any position without binding, the knife-head and wrist-pin, all together make a job that is far better than on any other mower. The McCormick Patented Pitman Box and Crank Shaft Bushing is valuable. No bearing is so free from friction as babbitt on a steel shaft Too large a body of babbitt will, however, pound out of shape. Our patented way is to melt the babbitt inside the box or bushing and then rapidly rotate the box thus throwmj/ the babbitt to the outside, tn which it solders. Tlie dross is then rimmed out, giving a hard, close lining of babbitt, free from air holes. Our boxes and bush- ings made on this plan have double life — a McCormick feature exclusively At the End of the Century Fifty out of every hundred Mowers sold around the world bear the name McCormick.

Triumphant is the McCormick Vertical Corn Binder. The loiged twisted and tangled corn of the past season settled any remaining question as to which is the best corn binder. Cn the Edwards farm, one mile cast of Dundee, III, two new 1S98 flat corn binders were left standing in the field they could not handle the corn, and a McCormick Vertical was hired from a neighbor to do the difficult work we having .^old out of machines. This is only one instance. The Corn Travels Less in Gowg Through the McCormick than Through Any Other. It therefore handles the corn less; it causes less friction and therefore takes less power; it knocks off less ears; it forms a better bundle, as it more quickly puts the stalks into the bundle chamber, and it binds a tighter bundle, as it has the power to do so. In other words, tho McCormick is so compactly built, so strong, ;uid has such great power, and it handles the corn so little, that it can always be depended upon to cut and bind any corn, whatever its condition. Only 52 Inches Wide, and Can Open a Land Without Dragging a Row Under the Machine. Notice the diagram in the upper corner of the page. After opening a land you can go the other way and pick up the bent row without trouble. It has three square tube sills and is very stiff. The flat binders are wide, slimsy, with only one round axle that has several bends. Roller Bearings are in all the Main Boxes. There are two in the main wheel. When made too long they are liable to cramp. The upright shafts are pointed and can not be cramped. Draft ? Lightest of any corn binder. M The End of the Century McCormick Vertical Corn Harvester.

The tremendous stjffness of our machine and the strength of its chains, together with the ea.sy slope of the gathering prongs and the wide trough formed by the upper boards, let the corn slide easily back to the binder. The points of the prongs can be put directly on the ground, and every stalk picked up; and the machine is strong enough to stand such rough work. fh.JoU^^ Top Chains on Both Sides of the Row bring up and straighten tall, tangled corn.

There is double wearing surface on one ..f our bevel wheels. Perhaps no part of the machine uses power as fast as the chains on the prongs on each side of the row. Other corn binders u.se small sprockets f..r their chains and at the rear use three sprockets for each chain. We use only one large sprocket at the rear, thus saving draft and increasing the life of the machine. For thirty years manufacturers have been experimenting to get a main wheel of the right size. They have built wheels all the way from" thirty to forty inches m diameter, but it is now generally admitted that thirty-six inches makcs'a wheel of the ideal size and strength. For 1899 the main wheel on the McCormick Vertical Corn Binder will be thirty-six inches. 36 ■ *-u The MODcRN MoCORMIOK Corn Hu8ker AND Fodder Shredder Increases the Food Value of the Corn-stalk One-half.

We how- ever, mount it on wheels, and many buy it for job work. It is a little giant It has i6.mch feed and snapping rolls of our patented kind, and a shredding head (see upper cut) of the same width, fitted with radial knives that cut both lengthwise and crosswise of the stalk. This both splits the stalk and cuts the splits into short lengths. The knives are so placed as to cut one at a time Ihis makes it easier for the machine to keep a more regular motion The flaring washers at the end of the knives cover the ends of the shaft and boxes thus preventing the very troublesome wrapping of the bands. The Feeder Stands in Front of the Feed Rolls. He can push the stalks ahead with much greater ease and feed more uniformly than from the side. The machine can be kept more constantly at work, and at proper speed. The One Safety Lever and Clutch of any value is shown at the out- side of the picture. The handle is right in front of the feeder. His body will come against it before his hand can reach the rolls. By our patented c'lutch the rolls are stopped at once. Others talk of safety levers ; this is the only practical one. ^ Large Sieve Surface for Cleaning the Corn that is accidentally shelled is also provided. The shelled corn is, after cleaning, elevated into a sack. The fodder carrier swings nearly one-half of a turn, and the ear corn carrier IS also swiveled.
