! Patented By Charles Leaviu, february 9Th. 1856
4 provement BY Charles Leavitt in PORTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adapted to crushing Corn and Cob
together for stock, and grinding Meal for family Mr
Leavlt being the original inventor OF this kind of ma
chlne and from long experience with iron crush
ers fading that all them were liable to objections the
most formidable of which their want of durability
liability soon TO wear out he again went to work with the
view OF removing the objectionable features In February
1885, be succeeded In obtaining letters patent for The
cesor Corn and Cob MILL and now has the satisfaction
being able to present the above Mill TO the farmers of
the United States standing it does at the head of the
list of Corn Crushers combining the good qualities of ALL
exempt from the defects oany and possessing many
valuable and distinguishing features of which all others
are destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mountable Oh ecton, urged with much force against
iron mills, their palpabe deficiency in durability
To remove this oh lection desideratum long sought
tor and which has been at length attained in the "Exce
sor Mill" only the grinding surface of which consists In
movable rings made In hard and superior metal and
which, when cut be repa Sed five minutes by
new rings, at cost Of So, which makes the mill good
as new, there being other pars liable out Two
sets of grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to two mills. This pecuarity, possessed BY
her MILL should not be overlooked by purchasers as
nsures durability, consideration OF all Others the most
important.
Another interesting feature this MILL and one which
we think will secure tor IT just consideration of merit is
In Its being provided with meal conductor by of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF being scattered around the mill as is ordinarily the
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair Of the Mary Agricultural Society," at the
estate Fair and elsewhere, all of which it establish
ed Its superiority do not hesitate empbatc0ly TO pro-
nounce II preemneny superior TO any and all other
crushers OF the day. Independent of lis moveabe grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other rncrushers broad
as 70 render comparison superb 1ous evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby announce that will give
silver cup to Corn Crusher that be produced of
the size and length of lever will grind
timer and faster than the Excelsior tina and place
10 be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from IS 90 and horse from to 10 bushels per
hour. --
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
i ears.
Compared sOith that # Otser NHs in use at this time
1t has been proven By experience and contrary gen.
ersl expectation, that cast Mills for grinding Corn
etc. to do the work properly will last than two
years In view Of this sc the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has abored to produce machine that will be
economical and the same time more tsctua The fol-
lowing estimate will show The cost of grinding with each
OF the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mill, $50, including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes good for years Cost
OF repairs for sx years $9 making for ten years $59
Cost OF common Mlls without any extras, says Si4.-
Cost Of running the for years. lsng he
Mill will last long the E1cesor Mill without repLirs
say to be renewed every two years. which in this
must be done al the expense CT machine each time
S76, making for the teu years cost of 1920. This
rule will apply toany and all of the Mills u which
GOMEZ in competition with the Excelsior Mil
Farmers and others in want O mills Tor grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the Ex
celsior Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than third the expense of other Mill in
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any Ordi
nary farm hand, printed directions for which accompany
each Mill
The undersigned having purchased the right to the
above Mill in Middle Tennessee take pleasure ntroduc
ing il TO the public, believing TO be all that is claimed
for it, and well worthy the attention of every Farmer
