The best possible test of tho morlt of machinery la r?p«tiparlson_ This is the test npon which we are satisfied to rest the claims of tbe WALTER A. WOOD HAR. VESTING MACHINES. Eaoh year's addition to the record of ailes contributes to the valne of the test.

WOOD, name which theee machine a have long made familiar m all clvlHsed'pßrtß qf the world. DURABILITY. 3 OFf r THE WOOD MACHINES] Sales of repairs less than for any other Machines.
