EXCELSIOR CORN AND COB MILL
SOMETHING ENrJRRIY NEW

| SOMETHING EN- cIRELY NEW.
| Pdtented By Charles Ledvitt, February 27h 1856
THE above cut represents q recent and valuable in
4 proyement by Charles LeGvitt in PORTABLE
GRAIN MILLS, adapted crushing Corn and Co
together for stock and grinding Meal for family Nj
LeaVlu being the original lnventor of this kind of ms
cnln no from long experience with cast iron crush
ers nndine that all of thea liable objections th
most formidable of which was their want of Durability
liability soon to ou he ain work lh th
view OF removing the objectiona 4ufe8. February
1855 he succeeded in obtaining letters ptsnt for the Ex
ceslor Corn and Cob Mill and has the satisfaction
OF being able TO present the above Mil to the farmers
the United States standing it does at the head OF th
list OF CornC Crushers combining the good qualities of all
exempt from the defects ofsny and possessing many
valuable end distinguishing features, of which all othe
are destitu e.
We hnv7 emarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mountal- - lection, urged much force agans
csslroa Il- WIS their pal pabe deficiency in durability
To remove thIa objection was desderatum long sought
for, and which Las been at lerth attained in the Excel
sor Mill only; the grin surface of which consists lr
moveRole rings, hard and superior metal,
which, when TOrG be replaced In five minutes BY
new rings, at coet Of $8 which makes the mill as good
as new there being no other part liable to out Two
sets OF grinding rings accompany each mill making il
equal to two mills This pecuarity possessed by nc
oher mill, should not be overlooked by purchasers as il
insures durability, consideration Of all others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this MILL and one which
we think will secure for it Just consideration of merit
In its being provided with meal conductor, by O
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
OF being scattered around the MILL is ordinarily the
case.
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair Of the Maryland Agricultural Society at the
OhoSate Fair and elsewhere at all of which it establish
ed its superiority DO not hesitate emphaticay to pro-
nounce preemneuty superior to any and all other
crusherS of the day independent Of its movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other crushers broad
as 20 render comparison superhnous snd evidence
Of our sincerity hereby announce Ihst will give
silver cup gay Corn Crusher that be produced
the size and length of lever that will grind
finer and faster than the Excelsior at time and place
to be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from Is 30 and with horse from to 10 bushels per
hour
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
Years,
Compared aoih that Of other AjlIs in use at Nistims
1t has been proven by experience and contrary gen.
era expectation, that cast Mills for grinding Corn,
etc. to do the work properly will last than
years Ia view Of this isc the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labOred to produce machine that will be
economical and at the time eectusl. The fol-
lowing estimate will show The cost Of grinding with each
of the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior Mill, $50 including extra set of
Grinding Plates which makes It good for years. Cost
Of repairs for years. So making for ten years $59
Cost of common Mills, without any extras, says $s4
Cost of running the same for ten years. supposng that the
Mill will last long the Exeeiaior Mill without repairs
say be renewed every two years. which in this
must be done at the expense OF machine each tme
s76 making for the eu years cost of 1920 This
rnle will apply to8ny and all of the Mills in which
come eu competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want mills for grinding Corn
ard Cob etc. will by the above estimate that the EX-
celsOr dill be used for the purpose required at less
than onethird the expense of ans other Mill now in use
This Mill may be put up in few minutes by any Ord.
nary farm hand printed directions for which accompany
each Mill.
