u The best and cheapest now

II The best and cheapest now in use
TINS Mill differs from all Others in the construction
I A ct the upper or runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks. enclosed in cast-iron case
and forms the back and hoop of the ssone with cas-,
iron eye or BUSH that is of greater external damee,
at the bottom than at the top is secured the back
bY tour bolts, that every block is in the form of
doVetall which gives greater strength stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is run with great speed and becomes DANCE
r-us If not strongly made. 1t also gives any weight
TO stone of small diameter that is required without
making ii thick or high.
They be by either gin, horse water or steam
power, and require no millwrght to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst, without having supply pressure to the
ner stone from the driving power, most unduatory
mills have to do; this is OF great Importance when horse
power is used.
I'd. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the lily wheel OF engine sffording regu-
larity and speed 10 its motion If mill does not run
true and regular You cannot make good meal -four.
I'D. The stone is composed OF or French burr
blocks because single blocks OF sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled 10
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in use.
18th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form OF husk: the "a inch occupying space of
only 4 or teet square.
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get of order than any other MILL
and does not require mlllwrght TO set them up.
18th. The gearing and pulIes of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is ne
cessty Of crossing the band Of puies 10 keep
it in place; the band does not get and in
the OF sing geared mills is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley single gear
mills.
By the steady application of steam power, the "a
inch mill will grind 10 bushels per hour, of good
meal and will grind wheat we'll as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind u to Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 20 more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 OF these mills have been used prin-
cipally in the south and west and never have any been
returned from falling to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed al expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
ceties to refer 10, never having asked for them but
We do refer, with some pride, to about twenty-five |
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being no equal superior mill,
build reputation for it by clustering chal
lenges, or by comparisons other mill manufacturers
do with
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills of admit
ted superiority* for there is danger of their trying
their mill with inferior onel others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements, then ours will never SELL |
for shall never descend to either method.
When wants to sell you mill and tells Won
that Il inch, Is inch, or 20 inch mill will grind ii
to 20 bushels per hour look the hole through the
stones and if halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
