Newarkalee Sales of a Wonderful Machine
The corn harvester by J. H. Smith & Bro. of Ridgely proves highly popular with farmers. First viewed curiously, buyers now purchase eagerly, nearly a carload sold last week. One farmer reaped seven acres in nine hours, a display many consider routine. Users deem it indispensable, likening it to the reaper and abandoning the cradle and scythe for fodder.
