THE GREAT DICKINSON
SHELLER.


I HAVE purchased the patent right Tor the
i above great Corn Shelters for the State of Ar
kansas.and will at as early day as possibe,be at
Little Rock, prepared to sell machines and the
patent right for counties throughout the entire
State.
The rights for this celebrated Corn Shelter have
been disposed of for every State IL the Union at
enormous rates. and it needs hut TO be seen to
commend itself to every practical man.
1t commends ITSELF
1st Bv its cheapness-
I'd Durability simplicity. iightness, portability
and no chance to get out of order.
Sd. The manner oi doing its work-and this
curious enough. In all other machines the corn
is removed by grinding, crushing, MASKING
iammng process, but in this it is picked off as
child would do with its fingers
4th. No matter what is the size of the cob. OF
shape every kernel is taken off and done so neatly
that not even the chut busk that holds the corn
is at all disturbed or rubbed of, hence the corn
is clean-deposited In bag or box. while the
cobs unbroken are laid on one side by the machine
ITSELF -.f
5th- All other machines require so much power
that they are almost useless while this is run and
led by boy of 12 years old, " no will shell from
so to 80 bushels day.
9Th. But the most wonderful performance oi
this curious machine is the fact that it shells We;
and Green corn just easilv as Dry corn
7th. This is the only machine that will selec,
and shell corn foI seed, without injury to the
grain
