JOSEPH HINES.
Saltwater Village, July II, 1928.
Wo hereby certify thar in the autumn of 1924
WI established IN Hnton County, Ohio, one Of
Mr.. Hines Machines, (called Hines and Bans
Machine for breaking laH and hrmp,l aud that
since that period we have kept the same In con.
slant and profitable operation.
There have been several machines. made in
TINT country embracing al porl the same princi-
pie, bui varying IN their construction from that
OF Mr. Hines IL order 10 evade his patent NIL
of which have proved Improbable 10 the ow
ncrs, and highly injurious tn the general char
acter OF hemp prepared by machinery. We
have observed these failures and attempts NJ e.
vasion with regret and having thoroughly
tested, by long experience and observation the
decided superiority and pre-emineni practice
uiiliy OF Mr.. Hines Machine, COMPARED with
others, we are fully sat'shed, that II Is altoge,h-
er the most perfect Machine Tor the pun pose
satisfied, from much observation and reelection
upon the principles of ds operation, md the
nature of the plan, upon which il Is designed to
operate. that no other machine different from his
in principle can erer be inutnttd to snIersfds
il.
An experience of four wears has tally con.
frmed us in the opinion we had long enter.
tanned hat there Is no branch of agriculture
thu, will afford "a pFen, profit. or contributed
so vastly 20 advance the wealth and prosperity
of the country, rs that Of the culture Of hemp,
| add by said Machine, and ihnt without auch
aid ihG great labor and expense OF preparing
il for market, would continue, (Rs heretofore, }
10 discourage its cultivation. We are, there.
fore, clearly convinced that the invention aud
introduction ofihls Machine by Mr.. Hines, in a
national point OF view, will ultimately confer
the most lasting & important benefits upon his
country, and, nj no distan, day be looked mp
| on as constituting the brightest Era IN the his
| tory of American Agriculture. so far MS we arc
| Individually concerned Mr.. Hines has Our
most sincere thanks ioI the very great benefits
| we have received through his improvements
and whatever may be the pecnniary rewards
Of his enterprise, they can never equal the fame
which awaits hun at the hands Of his eoun.
