Robinson and Co., manufacturers, which we bought from you last year, has given us every satisfaction, being constructed of good iron, and also goad workmanship. We cut about 400 acres of oats with it during the season, and it did its work in first-class style ; and although some of the ground was rough and hilly, we never had a breakage the whole time it was at work. We have Been a good many machines in New Zealand | and at home, but have seen nothing to equal it, } and we can strongly recommend it to any farmer. Yours truly, (Signed) John Thomson and Sons.

Two horses work it the whole day easily. I can strongly recommend it, and will willingly show it at work to any farmer. — Yours truly, (Signed) John M'lntxto. To Messrs Hay Bros., Invercargill.
