Several men are involved in operating the machinery, with others on horseback or observing the process. The back text highlights the efficiency of the combine, capable of harvesting 50 to 60 acres daily, and promotes the profitability of wheat cultivation in Washington, encouraging settlement along the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railway.
