Ihreshiag Machines,
AND HORSE POWERS.

THOMAS D. BURELL, Patentce.
These Machines are Portable. and con
be taken from place to place. with two
Horses, and used in the field as well as
at the barn. Many OF these Machines
have threshed from sixty to eighty thou
sand bushels, and continue to operate as
well as when new. No time, labor. or
expense has been spared to procure the
best timber the country can produce.
These Machines are four aud five horse
powers. they have Straw Carrier at.
fached, which saves the labour of two
or three hands. and with FIVE hands will
thresh from two hundred to three hun.
dred bushels per day. There have been
more than three thousand of the above
Machines made and nut in use in the
States of New York, PENNSYLVANIA, and
Maryland. and have proved themselves
lar superior to any other Machines ever
offered to the public. We will keep
the above Machines on hand at our sbop
IN stanton; and will sell them consid-
cradle cheaper than any other Machines
In this section of Country.
