EVERY MAN HIs OWN MILLER.
EXCELSIOR CORN AND COB MILL.
SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.

THE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm

Leavitt being the original inventor OF this kind Of

finding that ali Of Them liable to objections, the
most formidable Of which their want of Durability

Of being able to present the above Mill to the farmers of
the United States standing it does at the head OF the
list of Crushers combining the good qualities Of ALL
EXEMPT from The detects OF and possessing many pew
valuable and distinguishing features OF which all others
destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mounabe objection, urged with much force against
castirOn mills their papabe deficiency in durability
To remove this objection desideratum long sought
Tor, and which has been at length aned in the Excel-
sior NIP only the grinding surfce of which consists In
movable rings made in hard and superior metal and
which, when out can be replaced in i've minutes By
new rings at cost Of S. which makes the mill as goo0
as there being no other part liable 10 wear out Two
sets Of grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to two mills. This pecu art, possessed BY 10
oher MILL should not be over ke1 by purchasers it
nsures durability, consider ion Oi all others the most
important. >''- Cd
Another interesting feature in this mil and which
think will secure for it just consid. ration of eI is
in its being provided with meal conductor, by means IF
which the meal is discharged into half bushs .sead
Of being scattered around the mill as is fiy The
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fair Of the Maryland Agricultural Society," at the
Ohio State Fair and elsewhere all of which 1t establish
ed its superiority do not hesitate emphatcay to pro-
bounce 1t preemneny superior to any and s other corn
crushers Of the day. independent of movable grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other crushes broad
render comparison superfnous and, evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby announce that we will give
silver any Corn Crusher that be produced of
the size and length of lever that will grind
finer and faster than the Excelsior time and place

Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive thorses

Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
Years,
Compared Nth that Of other Als in ,lss at this tinss
1t has been proven by experience and contrary to gen.
era expectation, that cast Mills for grinding Corn
etc. to do the work properly will not last than two
years In view of this fac the inventor of the Excelsior
Mill has lsbored TO produce machine that will be more
economical and at the same time more eectual 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 six years So making for ten years $59
Cost Of common Mills, without any extras, says $4
Cost OF running the for ten years. surprising that the
Mill will last longas the Exceaior Mill without repairs
must be done tthe expense of machine each time
S76 making for the teu years cost of 1920 This
rne will apply and all of the Mills in which
come in competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want oil mills for grinding Corn
and Cob etc.. will see by the above estimate that the Ex-
cesor Mill be used for the purpose required at less
than one third 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. :
