JOSEPH HINES.
Saltwater Village, July II, 1928.
Wo hereby certify that in the autumn of 1924
We established in Huron County, o 10, one OF
MIR Hines Machines. (called Hines aud Ban's
Machnc FOR breaking FAX aud hemp,) and that
since that PERIOD we have kept the same in con.
sian, aud profitable operation.
There have been several machines made in
thai country embracing 10 part the same princi-
pie, bnt varying IN their construction from that
oil Mr. Hiues in order 10 evade his patent all
of which have proved Improbable 10 the ow.
ners, and highly injurious 10 the general char
acier Of hemp prepared by machinery. We
have observed these failures aud attempts al g.
,ason with regret and having thoroughly
tested, by long experience and observation the
decided superiority aud pre-emincni practical
utility Of Mr.. Hines Machine, compared with
others, we are fully satisfied, that tits atogrth.
er the most perfect Machine for the purpose
now IN operation; Aud we are equally well
salished from much observation aud reflection
upon the principles of IT'S operation, and the
nature of the plant upon which il is designed 10
opcl ate. that no other machneidiBerent from his
IN principle eau euer be inrenied, to supersede
il.
An experience OF four years has fully con.
hrmed MS in the opinion we had long enter.
tanned that there is no branch of agriculture
that will afford as great profit, or contributed
so vastly 10 advance thu wealth and prosperity
of the country, as that of the culture of hemp,
aided by said Machine, aud that without such
aid the great labor aud expense Of preparing
II Tor market, would continue, las heretofore
to discourage lis cultivation. We are, there.
fore. clearly convinced that the invention and
introduction ofthis Machine by Mr.. Hines. in a
national point of vew, will ultimately confer
the most lasting & important benefits upon his
county, and, atno distant day be looked np-
on as constituting the brightest Era In the his
tory Of American Agriculture. So far ms we are
Individually concerned. MIR. Hines has our
most sincere thanks foi the very great benefits
we have received through his Improvements 1;
and whatever may be the pecuniary rewards
OF his enterprise, they can never equal the fame
which awaits HIM az the hands of his coun-
try. T.. " 4. COOKE.
