u The besfand cheapest now in use.
'dlS Mig difiersrom all Others in the construction
L OF the upper or runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks. enclosed in cast-iron case
and forms the back and hoop OF the stone with cas-
iron eye bush, that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than the top, secured 10 the back
by tour bolts, so that every block is in the form OF
doveta which gives greater strength to 4 stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone Is with great speed and becomes DANCE
r6us II strong made. 1t also gives any weigh,
10 stone OF small diameter that is required. without
making it thick high.
They be by either gin, horse. water or steam
power and require no miIlwright 10 Sc; them up.
ADVANTAGES:
lst Sufficient weight in the runner stone TO crush
the gris without having supply pressure to the run
ner stone from the driving power most unduat0ry
mills have to OF greatmPortance when horse
power is used:
I'd. When the stone is running It's own momentum
acts like TIE lily wheel of engine, atfordng regu-
larity and speed TO its motion. II mill does not run
true and regular you make good meal or -four.
3D. II he stone Is composed OF i Or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks Of sutcien, size cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
9Th. The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill now in use.
10Th This mill is square frame, made of wood in
the form OF husk the p inch occupying space of
only + or D leet square.
9Th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get out of order than any other mill
and does not require a millwright set them up.
5th The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is Ne
eesslty OF crossing the band of puies 10 keep
it in place; the band does get cut and worn as in
the case OF single geared mills: is there danger in
putting the band 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 viii grind wheat well as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind u to Is bushels per hour the So
inch 20 bushels per hour with proper speed
More than $500 of these mills have been used prin-
cpay in the south and west and never have any been
returned from failing to please The above mill is
warranted 10 give entire satisfaction may be return
ed at our expense. s=sz
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cietes 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 superior our mill,
cannot build reputation for BY clustering cha-
ienges or by conparison other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
II mil will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills fadmi-
ted superiority or there danger of their trying
their mill with an interior one others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements, then ours will never sell.
for we shall never descend to either method,
" hen man wants to sell you mill and tells YOU
that IA inch, Is inch 20 inch mill will grind IA
to 20 bushels per hour look at the hole through the
stones and see 1t halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at all. s.a.
