Messrs. Epwis & JAMES NJ. CLARK. Va
Having been present at the operation of your newly
| patented Combined Grinaing aud Bolting, or Merchant
| FIGURING Mill, on the above date, as previously aunounc-
"a, we DO not hesitate TO say, that after witnessing its
| operation, and examining the machine in all its parts,
and the small space it occupies, being only 81 ieet, by
an. above all. the extraordinary quantity OF wheat
that IL il capaoiC ofconverting Into flour, and that Of the
best quality, ana withai, yielding fully as much -four
/ trDn1 tho wheat kfpuul as ESudlN utaiutu tu INV pa
wsy, We unhesitatingly say that il has accomplished all
that was announced for il TO do, The quantity Of wheat
ground on the trial referred TO was II bushels per honr,
| which is more than We have ever known TO he done with
one pair OF burrs in the best constructed mills IN our
| country, or an, where else. Thus rendering 1t ~ once
| the most superior and economical invention oil the age Tor
| the conversion of wheat into -four, and which we think
| must recommend itself TO all who are interested in the
milling business, for its ECONOMY, simplicity, aud small
amount Of power required to propel 1t, when compared
with the common Touring mills, taking into considera-
ton the amount VI work performed In either case. The
stones on which the above mentioned wheat was ground
being only 80 ineees in diameter, and making about $50
revolutions per minute, and the boiling Of the mealbeing
done al the same time, so efectnally rs TO convert the
wheat at a single operation into six different qualities OF
hour ad feed, namely-extra, ~supernne, fine and mid
ding flour, ~shipstuff and bran. Taking into the conside-
ration the excellent combinations OF the different parts
az ne mill. and viewing ii a. we think it Is, not only
worthy the attention Of those about to engage in the
milling business, but Of those already 50 engaged; ON &C
count Of the economy in the cost of construction, the
small space II occupies, the greater quantity OF grain it
is capable of grinding per hour, which is fully treble the
ouantity ground on one of the four feet burrs now in
general ue in our county, and that with no more power
than is apparently required for a four foot burr, We would
respectfully say te all, whether interested IN the milling
business OF not, to call and examine for themselves, AZ
the inventors aud prcrrisyors Of this valuable improve
ment manifest no disposition 70 deceive the public. .

Factory in Duke Street, in this city, where all who are
DESTROYS Of seeing il win have an opportunity. l had the
pleasure of seeing it inoperation, although it was the first
time it was started, and as the inventors were only opera

Judgment goes, and | have had considerable experience
in flour dealing, it far surpasses any thing in ihs mill

country at large. occupying only the small space Of twen-
ty-one feet in length, by four wide. Ii can be placed In
the same room with other machinery, and the small space

Messrs. EDWIN & J. u. CLARK:-
Gentlemen: Having carefully examined the construe.

eter, il ground and boited from ninet TO twelve bushels OF
whsat per hour, making clean work, and az the same
time turning out, at a single operation, extra Aour, su.
perane Hour, shorts, shipstufs and bran. The extra and
superhns -four is of an excellent quality, and the Yield
per bushel is equal to the large class complicated mills OF
modern construction. 1t occupies but little room. can be
placed in a compass Of twentyone feet by four feet, which
when in running order, with all the machinery requisite,
can be easily removed or transported from one place to
another-las no complicated machinery about it. conse-
