CORN AND FIGURING MILLS,
Il The best and cheanest now f. ~

o.. The best and cheapest now in use.
Mis- Mill differs from all Others in the construction
Il of the upper or runner stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in cast-iron case
and forms the back and hosp of the stone with cast
iron eye or bus that is OF greater external diameter
the bottom than the top, secured to the back
by four bolts, that every block is in the form of
doVeta which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is with great speed and becomes DANCE
if not strongly made. Italso gives any weight
to stone of small di4neter that is required without
making it thick or high.
They can be run by either GIN horse, water or steam
power, and require no millwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
LIST. Sufficient weight ID the runner stone to crush
the grst without having to supply pressure to the run
ner from the driving power as most nndulatory
mills have do this is OF great importance when horse
power is used.
I'd. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel Of an engine, afording regu-
Iarty and speed to its motion. Ii mill does not run
and regular you cannot make good meal or flour.
Sd. The stone is composed of 4 or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks Of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them
9TH The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
CT than any other mill now mus
9Th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form Of husk the "a inch occupying space of
only 4or feet square.
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get out Of order than any other mill,
and does not require millwright to set them up
It'll The gearing and pues of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is me-
cessy of crossing the band puIles 10 keep
in place; the band does get cut and worn as in
the case Of single geared Mills nor is there danger in
putting tile band on off the pulley as in single gear
mills.
BY the steady application of steam power, the "a
inch mill will grind to 10 bushels per hour of good
meal, and will grind wheat as well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind IL to IS bushels per hour the 36
inch 90 more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prn-
cpally in the south and west and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted give entire satisfaction or may be return
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
ciees to refer to, 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 or superior to our mill,
we cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha-
lenges by comparisons, as other mill manufac urers
do with
If mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superiorty* or there danger Of their trying
their mill with an inferior one others do with ours,
buncomb advertisements, then will never sell,
for we shall never descend to either method.
When man wants to sell you mill and tells you
that ia inch, Is inch or 90 inch mill will grind IA
to 90 bushels per hour look the hole through the
stones and see halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at all.
