EVERY MAN HIS OWN MILLER.
EXCELSIOR CORN AND COB MILL.
SOMETHING ENrIRELY NEW,

SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW.
| Patented 6y Charles Leavit, February 27th 1855
'INHE above cut represents recent and valuable i'm
l. proyement BY Charles L,avitt, in PORTAL LE
GRAAN MILLS, adapted crushing Corn ard .,th
together for stock, and grinding Meal for family use
Leavln being the original inventor OF his kind Of ma
chine, nd from long experience with cast iron corn
ers nndng that all Of them liable TO ohje TO- the
most formidable of which their n u4Llity
liability soon TO wear out he again nulk with the
view OF removing the Objectionable features In February
1855 be succeeded in obtaining etsr pitent for the Ex.
ceser Corn and Cob Mill" and has the satisfaction
OF being able TO present the above n The fuers
the United States standing it does the head of the
list OF CornCrushers, combining the good qualities of ALL
EXEMPT from the defects and possessing many
destitute.
We have remarked that the great and heretofore nsur
mounaoe objection, urged with much force against
Gastlron mills was their psble deficiency in durability.
10 remove this objection desiderstum long sought
tor and which has been ct length attained in the Excel
sor Mill only the grinding surface of which consists In
moveable rings made In hard and superior metal and
which, when worn out can be repa ed In FIVE by
new rings, at cost of s. which makes the mill good
as new there being no other part sbleto Two
sets oil grinding rings accompany each mill making it
equal to two mills. This pecu srty, possessed by no
her MILL should not be overlooked by purchasers as it
nsures durability consideration of s others the most
important.
Another interesting feature in this mill and one which
We think will secure for consideration of merit
in its being provided with meal conductor by means of
which the meal is discharged into half bushe instead
oil being scattered around the MILL is ordinarily the
case.
This mill having been fairly tested with other mills at
the late Fs of the Maryland Agricultural Society," the
OhoStae Fair and elsewhere, all of which establish
ed It's superiority, do not hesitate emphstcsy pro-
nounce preeminenty superior TO any and all other
crushers of the day. Independent of movesble grinding
rings which feature of itself makes the distinction be-
tween the Excelsior and all other corncrushers broad
as 20 render comparison superfnous and evidence
OF our sincerity, hereby announce that will give
silver say Corn Crusher that be produced of
the same size and length Of lever that will grind
fha dplao
to be agreed upon.
Capacity of grinding corn and cobs with tive horses
from Is TO 90 and with horse from to 10 bushels per
Cost of Running the Excelsior Mill for Ten
1ears,
Compared S0ih that Of other NILS in use at this time
has been proven BY experience and contrary gen.
ersl expectation that Mills for grinding Corn
etc. to DO the work properly will not last more than two
In Of this TACT the inventor OF the Excelsior
Mill has labored to produce machine that will be more
economical and at the same time more effecua Theio
lowing estimate will show The cost of grinding with each
of the Mills now in use for ten years:
Cost of Excelsior MILL $5O including an extra set of
Grinding Plates, which 1t good for years. Cost
of repairs for six years S9 making for ten years. $59
Cost Of common Mills, with out any extras, $4-
Cost m running the for ten years. suppOsng that the
Mill will last long the Exceaior Mill without repairs
say to be renewed every two years. which in this
must be done the expense OF new machine each tme
$l76 making Or the eu years cost of 1920. This
rne will spply any and all of the Mills in which
come competition with the Excelsior Mill
Farmers and others in want mills tor grinding Corn
and Cob etc. will BY the above estimate that the E1
cesor Mill be used for the purpose required at less
tDsn third the expense Of other Mill
This Mill may be put up in few N nutes by any ordi
nary farm hand printed directions tor which accompany
each Mill.
