Taylor & Espy, Gentlemen: I give you my recommendation on the Vulcan plows. First I will say they are the best plows that were ever on my farm. They run smooth, they make a clean cut, they do not ask weeds and trash any boot, they will stay in the ground and do the work right. I give away and sold together all other kinds of plows I had on my farm for the Vulcan to take their place. Before I got a Vulcan, I had two kinds of chilled plows and one of steel, the Vulcan has run them all out of business on my farm. There was not a man on my farm that would plow with the other turning plows when he could get a Vulcan. I had a Vulcan shipped to me before any dealer here handled them. I give it a trial in the same land with the other chilled plows. The plows I had would not shed the dirt only on one side of the block of land, but when my friend Vulcan got. there he would shed his dirt all the way around the whole block. This block was red land on one side, so after that I stocked up my farm as soon as possible with Vulcan plows. After I give the Vulcan a trial, yon men doubtless remember me advising you to handle the Vulcan, and you would make no mistake, and I think you will agree with me now that 1 did not advise you wrong. As you have sold them all over this county, 1 have many timeshad men come to me and say, “look here, I want to get a turning plow, which is the best to get.” “Oh,” I say to them, “go up here to Taylor & Espy and get a Vulcan and you will make no mistake.” A few nays ago I was passing through where one of my neighbors was plowing, I said to him. “you are sure doing a good job, whats that you are plowing with?” “Oh” he said, “its the Vulcan, its the best plow ever on my farm. It will shed this red dirt where the other plows wont. I said to him, “I told you so, as far as I know I am the first man in my part of the county to give the Vulcan a trial.” I don’t see how and in what way any one could wish for a better walking turning plow than the Vul can is. The pecular way the different parts of the Vulcan are enterlocked together oiakes it very strong and durable. I use wood and steel beams and have never had a steel beam sprung in any way. The mettle in the Vulcan seems to be more toug hter, to some extent, than some chilled plows I have used. I can, on an anvil with hammer and steel punch, do a better job fleaking, or sharpening, them than other kinds—J. C Hutchins. 14 TOOTH CULTIVATOR For the last two seasons we have sold 100 of these very useful tools We have bought 80 for this season. All who have used this little harrow will join us in saying that is no tool usod on the farm for the money it co it that will pay better than this little harrow.
