years, and vast amount of money has
succeeded in pcrfecting the Gin, so that
it can now be offered to the public, with
full confidence in its. superiority over
every machine for cleaning cotton from

The great value of this machine con-
sists in this; that it leaves the cotton
open and free, does not cut or break the
staple, but rolls it off tie seed in its nat.
ural state, making the lint worth from
one to t1co cents per pound more for the
manufacturer, by actually bringiay that
advance in market. The machine will
not saw or cut the hand of the operator,
and will not catch Il stalk, stone, nail,
or any hard substance, but throw them
out with the seed. The company who
own the right for making and selling
this Gin, for the State of North Carolina,
are now manufacturing large number
and arc prepared to I'll all orders, giving
full guarantee that the Gin pW ito
