THE GREAT DICKINSON
CORN SHE'LL E r.


T HAVE purchased the patent right for the
i above great Corn Shelters for the State of Ar
kansasand will at as early day possible,b be at
Little Rock, prepared to sell machines and the
patent right for counties throughout the entire
State
The rights for this celebrated Corn Shelter have
been disposed of for every State In the Union, at
enormous rates, and it needs but to be seen to
commend itself to every practical man.
1t commends itself,
1st- BY its cheapness-
ID Durability, simplicity, lightness, portability
and no chance to get out of order
Sd. The manner OF doing its work-and this i
curious enough In all other machines the corn
is removed by grinding, crushing, MASKING,
iamming process, but in this it is picked of as
child would do with its fingers
4th. No matter what is the size of the cob OF
shape, every kernel is taken off and done so neatly
that not the chut OF husk that holds the corn
is at all disturbed or rubbed off, hence the corn
is clean-deposited in bag or box, while the
cobs unbroken are laid On one side by the machine
itself
5th- All other machines require 50 much power
that they are almost useless, while this is and
fed by boy of II years old, who will shell from
so to 90 bushels day.
9th. But the most wonderful performance of
this curious machine is the fact that it shells Wet
and Green corn Just as easily as Dry corn
7th- This is the only machine that will select
and shell corn for seed without injury to the
grain
