Steel Ribs for Cotton Gins
NEW INTENTION.

rNHE Subscribcrh has Just received asrp-
Il ply of the PATENT RIBS for Cot
ton Gins, which have been spoken so high
.lys of wherever they have been tried through
out the Cotton Growing States. These
Ribs are SO constructed that one set will last
~ years or more, and be constantly in use,
by having an cxtra set of Cast Steel faces.
These faces are made to fit on the front of
the Ribs, where the Saws pass through,
and in so simple a manner that any person
can put them On. The Subscriber will al-
ways keep a supply of Gins on hand, of,he
above description, and will furnish them
with an extra set Of the facings, at the same
price that he has heretofore sold Gins with
the common Ribs.
