MILLS adapted to crushing Corn and Cob together for
stock and grinding Meal for family Mr. LeaYltt being
the original inventor of this kind Of machine, and from
long experience with cast iron crushes finding that all Of
them liable 10 objections, the most formidable Of which
their want Of durability, liability to out he
again work with the view Of removing the objection
able features In February 1855 he succeeded obtaining
letters for the Fxcelsor Corn ana Cob Mill and
satisfaction Of being able present the above MtO
the farmers Of the United States standing as does at the
head of the list Of Corn Cushes combining the good quail
ties of ALL exempt from the defects of any, and possessing
many valuable and distinguishing features of which az
We have remarked the great and heretofore insur
moabe objection urged with much force against cast
iron mills their palpGbLs deficiency az durability To
this objection desideraum long sought for and
which has been length attained in the Excelsior MIL only
the grinding surface Of which consists in movable rings made
Of hard and superior metal and which, when worn out can
be replaced in five minutes by rings, at cost Of $780,
which makes mill as good new there being other part
liable to wear ou Two sets OF grinding rings accompany
each MILL making equal to two mills This popularity pos
sesse by other MILL should not be overlooked by pureha
insures durability, consideration Of all others the
most important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which we
think will secure just consideration Of merit, in its
being provided with meal conductor by Of which the
meal discharged halfbushel instead of being scat
tered around the mill as is ordinarily the case
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at the
late Fair Of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the Ohio
State Fair, AMI elsewhere at all Of which established its
superiority do hesitate emphatcay to pronounce il
preemnenty superior any and all other crushers Of
the day, independent Of its movable grinding rings, which
and all other cruhers broad to render COMPARE
superuous; and evidence Of sincerity hereby
that will give Silver Cup any Corn Crsher
that be produced Of the size and length Of
lever that will grind finer and faster than the Excelsior at
time and place to be agreed upon.

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten Years,
Compared SCiH that Of The other Mls IN at This time
1t has been proven by experience and contrary to general
expectation that cast iron mills for grinding corn etc. to do
the work properly viii not than years In view
Of this fact the inventor Of the Excelsior Mill has abOred TO
produce machine that will be economical and at the
time eectual The following estimate viii show
the cost of grinding with each Of the mills in for ten
years.
Cost Excelsior Min $50 including an extra of Grind
ing Plates which makes good for four years Cost Of
pairs for six years, So, making for ten years, $50
Cost Of common mi without any extras say 444 st
OF raining the for ten years. surprising that the mill
viii last long the Excelsior BILL without rep IRIS to
at the expense Of machine eachtme, &lI6 making for
the ten years cost Of 1920 This rule viii apply u
any and all Of the mills in which in competition
with the Excelsior Mill.
Farmers and others in Of mills for grinding Corn and
Cob etc. viii by the estimate that the Excelsior
Mil be use for the purpose required at less than one
third the expense q any other mill now in use.
This mill may be put up in few minutes by ordinary
farm hand printed directions fo which accompany each mill
The undersigned having purchased the right to the above
mill in Middle nnessee, take pleasure in introducing Il
the public believing It be all that is claimed for l., and vel
worthy the ateation Of every rmer $40 Raiser anC
Dealer in st OK Price 400 with two sets Of grin ing rings

These mills made for by Mr.. r. NJ Brennan, Of th
