Subject	Agriculture Business and Labor Science and Technology Harvesting machinery
Place	Sandusky (Ohio) Erie County (Ohio)
Description	Near the end of the nineteenth century, farm machinery was being refined and developed at a rapid pace. Every manufacturer was attempting to make certain that his product was capable of performing faster, more efficiently, and more economically than his competitors. The Hero reaper, manufactured by the Sandusky Machine and Agricultural Works, was no exception. The catalog's first section extols the virtues of every part of the reaper, explaining in great detail why it is the best. Fifteen pages of "Recommendations" follow this. In glowing terms, each of these farmers attests to the Hero's effectiveness. The users write from as far away as Kansas, Tennessee, and Minnesota, which seems to demonstrate the popularity of the reaper, though it is stated in the catalog to be in only its third year of production. The catalog is 26 pages and measures 5.5" x 9" (13.97 x 22.86 cm).
