THE COMBINATION pOgTARY,E
 STEAM SAW MILL.

presenting to the pubic the claims of this = clhhefT' We will state that its production is the resu o the combined efforts of several of the most practical macmnsts and exp ,encel saw mill men in the country.
 HuIlhg lle l"St few years we have examined many new ewinventionS and appliances in this connection and have consulted with several thousand mecba,i,.. fully experienced in the ust of machinery for tp,. manufacture of lumber. Daring the last year We have sold and shipped to various parts of this cont nent nearly one hundred stehln mills the resrlts ot which have afforded Us large amount of practical lnfofnduon as to the difficulties to be overcome the defects which have to be guarded against and the objects to be obtained in machinery ot this character The mill we now offer does not claim its superiority rom any single Improvement or patent which it may embrace but ls a combination of all the most yalu,- ble improvements which could be included within single machine, added to which are several new ap- piiances lately patented. and others for which par- entS have been applied for It has been thorouthIv and practically tested. and has aeen examined by large number of well known scientific ard exrer;- encei mechanics, whose certificates we shah soon publish all of whom pronounce 1t more simple in it's construction, more durable and more efficient in it's operation than any mil ever before produced.

 III running or taking care Ot IL. for it is 50 smpifed as to be within the comprehension of any iulicous person, who will note the Instructions always fur nshed with 1t.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long. has an eight inch cvl- nder eighteen inch stroke. with feed pump attached to and operated by the engiuc. The driving puEey winch also serves for balance wheel is j feet in ,ii amater and ten inch face
 The boiler Is of locomotive construction. ten feet long containing Al tnbes. 2l inches in diameter and six feet long. The shell Is 34 inches in diametar The ire box 36 inches long ard 25 inches vide smoke pipe Is inches Ill diameter aIId so feet long.
 The engine and boiler which we usually fur msn may be rated at fourteen horse power, which IS sufficient to drive the nl together with circular saw, shin1le mill small orist mill or other ma chinery of similar character. As surplus power js always of great advantage, this is the power we usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.
 We furnish these mills and powers as described above, including all the screws bolts beltings grate bars saw, pump, wrenches crowbars and eyervtliuo necessary to Dc used ill or ahcut the mills in running, excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work ot the carriage, which can easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boxed, and delivered in this city. on board the desired transportation line for si63o with the addition of freight from New York. say Si25,
 To parties desiring larger power we will furnish an engira and boiler of eighteen horse power con ~Fncel m the same style aS. the above, with mill containing "h eEAt foot saw and other parts bonding for 3.OOO.
 The above are our lowest cash terms payable on deliver! in the city
 Portability and Freightage. 'i'hc mil and power, as described above, all com p!e;e weigh i've tons, as follows:

The entire machinery can be taken apart and put together again i'll a very few hours time Thu, the necessity of moving the logs long distance to the mlll IS entirely obvated, it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs As it will be perceived there la no mason work required, and no building unless the parties chose to erect rough shed to pro- tect It and the operators from the weather.
 How Much it will Do.
 The speed of this mill is about three Lnndred strokes of the saw per minute and the feed from l to M of an inch for every stroke depending upon the character of the timber. Thus at a medium speed the saw wouid cut through log twelve feet long in from one to two minutes
 From this data any practical man will see that it is capable of cutting about $500 feet of inch boards in F hours
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever seen. while its advantage over the circular Mill are that it is cheaper. requires less power to run it. Is much less liable get out of order is much less expensive t. repair hen damaged, makes less im- pcrecI "orh, wastes less ln 0uJtlng IS not dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular mi and is capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The Segmcnts and friction which we furnish for the carriage are sufficient 10 saw logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made. The pump sent is worked by the engine, and is sufficient to raise water about twenty feet. Where it is desirable to raise water to supply the boiler from greater depth a force pump will be furnished and an extra charge made for it. Drawings and full explanations are sent with each mill, alSo,a complete model showing all the parts put together on small scale, with each part mum bered the same the corresponding part on the ma. chinery of the mill. Thus assurance Is made douby that can fail to put up the mill and run it without trouble
 The Combination MlP is confidently offered to the public the simple, efficient and practical ma cnIne fer manufacturing lumber, ever produced Parties desiring to Of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing do so by calling on Us at St. Louis: also, parties desiring to have their mill for wa rded to them from New Orleans Ia can be ac- oommodated-aS We endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand there, 'ceN as Ae,e
 When convenient for purchasers to send in their oriersa week two in advance of the time they want the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to >do
 No mill Is considered ordered until at least SlO0 is paid on it.
