THIS Milldfers from all others in the construction
4 OF the upper runner stone, which is composed
OF French Burr Blocks enclosed in a cast-iron case
and forms the back and hoop Of the stone, with cast
iron eye or bush that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top, secured the back
by four bolts, that every block is in the form of a
dovetal which gives greater strength stone than
any other method that required in small mills where
the stone is 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 can be run by either gn horse, water or steam
power and require no mwright to set them up.
ADVANTAGES:
1s Sufficient weight in the runner stone to crush
the srst without having supply pressure to the
stone from the driving power, as most unulatory
mills have to do; this is of great importance when horse
power is used
I'd When the stone is running its own momentum
acts like the fly wheel of engine, aording regu-
arity and speed to its notion If mill does not run
true and regular You cannot make good meal or -four
ID. The stone IS composed of 4 or 5 French burr
blocks because single blocks Of sufficient size cannot
be had without having soft imperfect places IN
them.
4th The stone having this great weight is enabled to
grind near the centre larger quantity with less pow
er than any other mill in use. IS
5th. This mill is square frame, made of wood in
the form of husk: the "a inch occupying space Of
only or S feet square. 81 :
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 millwrght to set them up
7h. The gearing and pullies of these mills are all
OF iron and preferable because there never is ne
cessity OF crossing the band of extra puies 10 keep
1t in places the band does get cut and worn as in
the case OF single geared ms nor 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 will grind wheat well as corn The 80
inch mill will grind IL Is bushels per hour; the sc
inch ~ or more bushels per hour with proper speed
More than 2500 of these mills have been used prin-
cpay In the south and west, and never have
returned from failing to please. The above mill is
warranted to give entire satisfaconor NAV be return
ed at our expense.
Ne have no premium certificates from scientific So
clehes to refer to, never having asked for Them but
we DO refer with some pride, to about twenty 1--we
hundred persons who have purchased and used our
liis. mere being no equal superior to our MILL
We cannot build reputation for it by clustering cha
lenges, Or by comparison, other mill manuac
do with ours. r.as
liza mill will not sell without premium certificates or
windy challenges, for public trials with mills of admit
ted superiorty* or there danger Of their trying
their mill with inferior one others do with ours
or buncomb advertisements, then will never sell, I
Tor we shall never descend to either method.
When wants to sell you mill and tells you
that IA inch, Is inch, or 90 inch mill will grind Ia
% 20 bushels per hour look at the hole through the
stones and see if half that quantity OF would pass
through without grinding at all.
