JOSEPH HINES.
Saltwater Village, July II, 1928.
W. hereby certify that in the autumn Of 1924
we established in Huron County, Ohio, one oil
Mr. Hines Machines, lcalled Hines and Bain's
Machine for breaking flax and hemp,) aud that
since that period We have kept the same in con.
slant and profitable operation.
There have been several machines made IN
that country embracing ia part the same princi-
pie but varying IN their construction from that
of Mr.. Hines in order to evade his patent all
of which have proved Improbable TO the ow.
ners, and highly injurious TO the general char
acter of hemp prepared by machinery. We
have observed these failures and attempts at e.
vasion with regret and having thoroughly
tested, by long experience and observation the
decided superiority aud pre-eminent practical
utility Of Mr. Hines Machine, compared with
Others, we are fully satisfied, that It's altogeih-
er the most perfect Machine for the purpose
now in operation And we are equally well
satisfied from much observation and reflection
upon the principles Of ITS operation, aud the
nalure of ihe plant upon which II is designed 10
operate. that 40 other maohine..d BereHt IrOnt has
in principie can erer be inrented, 10 supersede
it.
An experience of four years has fully con.
6rmed us in the opinion we had long enter
tanned that there IS no branch of agriculture
that will afford as great prOft, or contributed
so vastly 10 advance. the wealth and prosperity
of the country, as that OF the culture oi hemp,
aided by said Machine, and that without such
aid the great labor and expense OF preparing
il for market, would continue, (as hrretotore.)
10 discourage IFS cultivation. We are, there
fore. clearly convinced that the invention and
Introduction ofthis Machine by Mr.. Hines, in
national point OF view, will ultimately confer
the most lasting Il important benefits upon ms
country, and, atno distant day be looked ny
on a, constituting the brightest Era IN the his
tory of American Agriculture. So tar rs we are
individually concerned, Mr.. Hines has our
most sincere hanks fot the very great benefits
we have received through his improvements !;
and Whatever may he the pecuniary rewards
of his enterprise, they can never equal the fame
which awaits MN NJ Tue Hdhus VI US Gun
