This is to certify that have for some veal,
been practical carpenter and Joiner. and
that have this day witnessed the operation
os McMilien &; Co.'s patent shingle machine
and l can safely say, that it gives perfect
satisfaction, both as to the quality of the
shingles and the speed with which they are
made. JSo. w. Wraara

This is to certify that We this day saw in
operation McMillen s. Co.'S patent shingo
machine, and arc pleased to state that we
deem it great desideratum. 1t needs but
inspection to convince every one of its great
utility. When worked by hand it will make
about 40 shing per minute, and if attach.
ed to horse, water or steam power, there IS
no doubt it would produce from 60 to Is
shingles per minute. The shingles made By
this machine are inferior to none we have
seen. We recommend it to the attention Of
