PRESSING BR,CKs.

THE subscriber would inform the
bricklayerS of the counties OF Augusta s.
Rockbridge, that he has purchased the
patent right of ThoS. A. Tricks improved
Brick-Press, in and for the aforesaid
counties of Augusta and Rockbridge.
AS respects the principles of the above
mentioned machine, the subscriber makes
no hesitation in affirming them to be ge-
nuine.
The most material principle is that it
consists of a double mole, by means of
which one brick is hosted to the top of
the mole at the same time the opposite
is pressing; which renders it a speedy o.
peration. There can be from six to 5000
bricks pressed in day with it, to per-
lection, If properly attended. The pow
er OF the machine is remarkable; accor-
ding to the patentee's calculation mai
weighing $50 lbs. applying his weight
to the extreme end of the levre eleven
feet long, will cause the pressure upon
the brick to be equal to Is, 600 lbs.-the
hall OF which is sufficient to press brick
to perfection.
The subscriber will 'vend rights to
those who are disposed to purchase,
upon the lowest terms. He will al
so be able to furnish certificates of
the satisfactory performance of the "a
oove machine. For rights, apply to the
subscriber, living three miles North of
Middlebrook, Augusta county, who will
also furnish model of the machine.
