view Of removing the Objectionable features In February
1852 he succeeded in obtaining letters patent for the Ex

mountable objection urged with much force against
csiron mills, heir palpable deficiency in durability.
To remove this w ction beside -atum long sought

moveabe rings mace in hard ana srperior metal and
which, when out be repa ed in five minutes bY

new there being other ~ liable to out Two
sets OF grinding rings &C ny each mill making it
equal to two mills. This pecu2rity, possessed BY no

nSures durability, consideration of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which

This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Far Of the Agricultural Society," at the
OhlOSate Fair and elsewhere at all OF which II establish

preeminenty superior to any and all other
crusners of the day. independent of its movable grndrg

etc. 20 90 the work properly will not last more than two
Years In Of this ac the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has gbored to produce machine that will be
economical, and at the time efectua Thsto
loving estimate will show he cost Of grinding with each
of the MlIls now in use for ten years:
Cost OF Excelsior MILL $50, including an extra set of
Grinding Plates which mas es good for our years Cost
of repairs years $9 making forten years, $59
Cost Of common Mills, without any extras, says $44-
Cost o running the same for ten years. supposg that the
Mill will last long the EIceaior Mill without repairs
70 be renewed every two years. which in this
done at the expense OF machine each time,
$40 making for the teu years cost of 1920. This same
rnle will apply oany and all of the Mills in which
Farmers and others in want mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the E1
