tacture Cob Breaker of great strength and durability
and ease of operation.
We place this useful contrivanee all sizes mills,
by winch means we convert mill into stock feed
mill; but few minutes work put it or take it off.
We manufacture portable mills, single and double
geared, (best quality of French burrs) to grind wheat,
and stock feeds, calculated for steam, water or
horse power These mills have been by steam and
horse power in competition against the other make of
mills OF our city, at State Fairs, and have never
failed to carry off the first premiun-on occasion
was awarded beautiful silver medal. Our mills also
took two first premiums as the best mills, annual
fairs of our Mechanics Institute.
Also-Portable SAW MILLS, to be run by steam,
water or horse power. This mill was exhibited in op-
Grafton by horse power the Ohio State Fair in $780,
when it was awarded premium and splendid silver
medal.
Also-Different kinds of PORTABLE HORSE
POWERS and STEAM ENGINES. All our articles, for
of operation, simplicity, usefulness and durabi-
ity, surpassed by none in use.
All our articles warranted as representation no
sae-at our cost of transportation and the money
funded
For full description and testimonials of merit and
usefulness refer those interested our pamphlet
to be had at factory where take pleasure to ex-
plain each article. ISAAC STRAUB g. Co.
NoTE.-Mr klmball, the partner of j. ii. Burrows,

2nd trial-Straub to run a twenty two inch MILL
L" Burrows & CO. to run "a inch mill
Ord trial-Straub to run 90 inch mill.
q" Burrows & co. to run a 80 inch mill.
When the pinch came, that bosterous courage slipped
out.
To the above, now append challenge to grind cob
feed ont of whole ears of corn.
l will my eighteen inch QUEEN OF THE SoUTH

took the Premium at the Ohio State Fair last fall against

you have my entire appreciation to Mr.. Pomeroy,s
corn crusher auxiliary. Should my single article
fail grind equal in quality and quantity to the com
bined productions of the three mills lust as Won
