do hereby certify that this day saw,
operation McMillen s. Co.'S patent sb;nrl.
cutting machine, and was highly pleased wtS
lite performance. 1t will make, when WORKED
by hand, about 40 shingles in u minute ana
from the siinpleness Of its gearing it can bs
easily attached to any kind of power. Tn,
! shingles made by this machine | consider
superior to those made by hand-the wood
being steamed reuders it more durable, and
the shingles are all of the same thickness. !
take pleasure in recommending this machine
as superior to, any other with which l am
acquainted. LEVI HAGAR.

This is to certify that this day witnessed
the performance of McMillen s. Co.'s patsu,
single cutting machine, and that / am well
pleased with it. The shingles made by it ara
as perfect as they can be made in any otbe,
way, and much more so than those made by
hand. | consider the process of steaminr
which all timber has to undergo before i
passes through this machine, as highly bene
fetal, as it makes the wood closer and more
limperyious. | feel no hesitation in recon.
mending this machine to public patronage.

This is to certify that have for some years
been a practical carpenter and Joiner, and
that have this day witnessed the operation
os McMlien s. Co. S patent single machine,
and | can safely say, that it gives perfect
shingles and the speed with which they arc
made. 'mr' q: JNo. w. WEBER

This is to certify that we this day saw ia
operation McMiilen & Co.'S patent shingIc
machine, and are pleased 10 state that We
deem it great desideratum. Ii needs but
inspection to convince every one of its great
utility. When worked by hand it will make
about 40 shingles per minute, and il attach
ed to horse, water or steam power, thers is
no doubt it would produce from 80 to Is
shingles per minute. The shingles made by
this machine are inferior to none we have
seen. We recommend it to the attention o.
