iINHlS Mill differs from all others in the construction
L OF the upper runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks enclosed in cast-iron case,
and forms the back and hoop of the stone with cast
iron eye bush, that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top, Is secured to the back
by four bolts, that every block is in the form of
doveta which gives greater strength to a stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone is with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made 1t also gives any weight
TO stone of small diameter that is required without
making it thick or high.
They can be run by either gin, horse, water or steam
power, and require no mwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grst without having to supply pressure to the
stone from the driving power, most undulatory
mills have to do; this is OF great Importance when horse
power is used.
ID. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, afording regu-
larty and speed to its notion If mill does
and regular you cannot make good meal -four
Sd. The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
them.
grind the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in
5th. This mill is square frame, made of wood in
the form of husk: the "a inch occupying space of
only 4 or D 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 pullies of these mills are all
of iron and are preferable because there never is ne
cessty of crossing the band of extra pues keep
it in place; the band does not get cut and in
the case of single geared mills; nor is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley 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 The 80
inch mill will grind IL to Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 20 or more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 of these mills have been used, prin-
cipaly 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- never 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 superior to mill,
we cannot build reputation for it by clustering chal-
lenges, by comparson other mill manufacturers
do with
If mill will sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superoriy* or there is danger Of their trying
their mill with inferior one) others do with ours,
buncomb advertisements, then will never sell,
for shall never descend to either method.
When man to sell you mill and tells you
that IA inch, Is inch or 20 inch mill will grind Ia
to 90 bushels per hour, look the hole through the
stones and see if halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
