PORTABLE CORN HARVESTER
[Welland Telegraph, 24 April 1891]
Mr. W.G. Somerville, of the firm of Somerville & Tremble, agricultural implement dealers, is taking an interest in a portable corn harvester, which was patented by Mr. A.A. Lundy, of Fenwick, on the 14th inst., in Washington, D.C. It is a machine that must commend itself to every farmer who grows corn in large quantities as with a team of horses a boy can harvest from six to eight acres per day. The corn stalk is caught between two rollers which presses off the cobs and elevates them to another set of rollers which does the shelling, when the cobs are elevated into a wagon which may be run along side of the harvester, or allowed to fall on the ground. It is certainly a piece of farm machinery that will overcome the difficulties now existing in harvesting corn. Any farmer wishing to see a draft of the same or a model should call or write to the patentee or to Messrs. Somerville & Tremble.
