Jim's catalog features such 1886 merchandise as a prairie breaker plow, wood standard plow and three-wheel sulky plow. The prairie breaker is described as 'strong, durable, light in draft and steady running.' The wood standard is listed as 'designed for brush land, and stony and stumpy land' and reported to also have had 'a great reputation as a road plow.' The illustration of the sulky plow, termed 'a grand success' in the catalogue listing, shows it needed a three-horse hitch. The description reports the sulky was capable of turning square corners in either direction and of cutting a uniform furrow. FC

'Never has the saying 'Merit wins' been more strikingly exemplified than in the success of the Weir Plow Co., organized many years ago with the avowed determination to manufacture a superior article, only, in anything they might attempt to make. So strictly has this principle been adhered to that the name WEIR has become a guaranty of excellence, and that the implement bearing that name will be found reliable in every respect. The career of the Company has been one of continued advancement until its product is called for in all parts of the country and its reputation stands unrivaled for ingenuity, enterprise, and thoroughness. Those wanting the best in the line of Plows, Cultivators, etc., should not fail to see our goods. Insuring fairness and justice to all, we rely on a continuance of the liberal patronage heretofore given us. Very truly, WEIR PLOW CO.'
