IHIS Mill differs from all others in the construction
/ i of the upper or runner stone which is composed
of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in cast-iron
and forms the back and hoop OF the stone, with
iron eye or 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
dovetail, which gives greater strength to stone than
any other method that is required in small mills where
the is run 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 be run by either gin, horse, water steam
power, and require milwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1st Sufficient weight in the runner stone crush
the grst without having to supply pressure the
ner stone from the driving power, most unduatory
mills have to do; this is of great Importance when horse
power is used.
3D. When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine affording regu
aritv and speed to its notion If a mill does not run
true and regular you cannot make good meal or -four
Sd The stone is composed of or 5 French burr
BLOCKS because single blocks of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft or imperfect places in
them.
4h The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind the larger quantity with less pow
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 or 5 feet square.
9th. This mill is simply and strongly constructed
and less liable get of order than any other mill
and does not require a millwright to set them up.
It'll. The gearing and pulles of these mills all
of iron and preferable because there is
cessity of crossing the band of pues 10 keep
it in places the band does not get and in
the fsinge geared mills; nor is there danger in
putting the band off the pulley as in single gear
mills.
BY the stead " application of steam power, the "a
inch mill will grind to o bushels per hour, of good
meal, and will grind wheat we'll as corn. The 80
inch mill will grind II to Is bushels per hour the SO
inch 20 more bushels per hour with proper speed.
More than $500 ofhese mills have been used, prin-
cpay IN the south and west and have any been
returned from failing please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaction may be return
ed at our expense.
We have no premium certificates from scientific So
cietes to ressr 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 or superior to mill
we cannot build reputation for by clustering chal
lenges, or by comparison, other mill manufacturers
do with
1t mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, tor public trials with mills of admit
ted supeHorlty* tor there is danger OF their trying
their mill with an inferior one others do with ours,
or buncomb advertisements, then ours will never SELL
for we ball never descend to either method
= When man wants to sell you mill and tells you
that a IA inch, IL inch, or 30 inch mill will grind IA
20 ~ bushels per hour look the hole through the
stones and see if halt that quantity of would pass
through without grinding at all.
