lTHIs Mill differs from all Others in the construction
/ of the upper or runner stone, which is composes
of French Burr Blocks. enclosed in cast-iron case
and forms the back and hoop of the stone, with
iron eye or bush, that is of greater external diamete
at the bottom than the top, secured the back
by four bolts SO that every block is in the form of
dovetai which gives greater strength stone thar
any other method that is required in small mills where
the stone with great speed and becomes DANCE
rous if not strongly made It also gives any weight
to of small diameter that Is required, without
I making it thick or high.
They can be run by either GIN horse. water or steam
power, and require mlwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
4 Ist Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the grist without having supply pressure the
ner stone from the driving power, most nndulaofy
mills have to is Of greatimportance when horse
4 power is used
ID. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, affording regu-
larity and speed to its motion. # mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal or -four.
/ Sd. The stone is composed of 4 or French burr
blocks because gle blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places in
! Them
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled TO
grind the larger quantity with less DOW.
er than any other mill now in use.
9th. This mill is square frame, made of wood, in
the form Of husk: the "a inch occupying space Of
only a or feet square.
Otn ms mil is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable to get out of order than any other MILL
and does not require millwright to set them up.
It'll. The gearing and pues of these mills are all
of iron and preferable because there never is me-
cessy of crossing the band of pullies 10 keep
tin place; the band does not get cut and worn as in
the of single geared mills; nor there danger
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 will grind wheat as well as corn The 80
inch mill will grind IL to Is bushels per hour; the So
inch 2O or more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than 2500 Of these mills have been used, prin-
cipalsy in the south and west and have any been
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction, may be
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
ceties to refer to. having asked for then but
we do refer, with some pride, to about twenty-five
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
mills. There being equal or superior to our mill,
we cannot build reputation for it by clustering chal-
ienges or by comparisons other mill manufacturers
do with ours.
Ifa mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges for public trials with mills of admit
ted superoty* for there is no danger of their irving
teir mill with inferior one) others do with ours
or bancomb advertisements then will never SELL
for We shall never descend to either method.
When man wants to sell you mill and tells you I
that II inch, Is inch, or 90 inch mill will grind Ia
to % bushels per hour, look at the hole through the
stones and if halt that quantity of corn would pass
through without grinding at all.
