The true Democrat., 1857-02-24

\ \ presenting to the public the claims of this ma s chlnery, we will state that it's production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the lnn> practical niachiniSts and experienced mill men in the country.
 During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connection and have consulted with several thousand mechanics fully experienced in the of machinery for the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped to various parts of this coni- nent nearly hundred steam mills the results of which have afforded us large amount of practical Information to the difficulties 10 be overcome the defects which have to be guarded against and the objects to be obtained in machinery ot this character I he mill we now offer does not claim its superiority from any single Improvement or patent which it may embrace. but a combination of all the most valua- bic improvements which could be included within a single machine, added to which are several new ap- piances lately patented. and others for which pat cnts have been applied for It has been thoroughly and practically tested and has reen examined by T large number of well known scientific and experi- enced mechanics, whose certificates we shall soon publish all of whom pronounce it more simple in its construction. more durable and more efficient in its operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler, which have been planned and constructed tor driving the 'Combinatiun Mill 2 are so compact and substantial. and 50 easily man. aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter would find them as convenient and valuable for tie III 'l tttdtlOl S span Nl lDTSeS ADkc Df No one need be detered from becoming the possessol of this motive power by apprehension of difficult, Tn running or taking of it. for it is 50 sinriio as to be within the comprehension of any iudicou, person. Who will note the instructions always fir- nished with it.
 The Engine.
 Theengine is nine feet long has an eight inch cyl finder, eighteen inch stroke. with feed pump attached to and operated by the cngine The driving pulley which also serves for balance wheel, is feet in di ameter and ten inch tuce.
 The boiler k of locomotive construction ten feet long, containing 4 tubes 2H inches in diameter and six feet long. The shell k q inches in diameter. The fire box B inches long and 2s inches wide smoke pipe Is inches in diameter and 80 feet long.
 The engine and boiler which We usually fur nish may be rated at fourteen horse power which is sufficient to drive the mill together with 4 circular saw. shngle mill. small grist mill. or other ma chinery of q similar character. As surplus power is always of great advantage. this is the power we usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.
 We furnish these mills and powers as described above including all the screws hoits beitnq, grute bars. saw. pump. wrenches crowba1s aud .vervtbinc necessary to b. u>ed n ahout the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work of the carriage. which easily be made anywhere the whole put uP and boxed. and delivered in thi, city on board the desired transportation line for siG50. with the addition of freight from New York say si25.
 To parties do-i1ing larger power we will furnish engine and boiler of eighteen horse bower con structed in the same style IS the above with q mill containing an eight foot saw, and other parts cores bonding for 2,00O.
 The above are cur lowest cash terms, payable on delivery in the citv
 Portability and Freish,age
 The mill and power. as described above an com plete weigh five tons, follows:

As it will be perceived there k no mason work required, and no building unless the parties chose rough shed 10 pro tect f and the operators from the weather.
 How Much il will Do.
 The speed of lhis mill is about three hundred strokes of the per minute and the feed from I5 to 4 of inch for every stroke dependnp npon thc the would cut through log twelve feet long in from one to two minutes.
 From this data any practical man will sec that il Is capable of cutting about $500 feet of inch boards n l3 hours.
 IL will saw more rapidly than any Mil we have ever seen. while ts advantage the circular Mil are that Is cheaper requires less power to run it. Is much less liable to get out of order. is much less expensive to repair when damaged. makes less i'm perfect work, wastes less in cutng is not dangerous to the parties attending t like the circular mill and is capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The scrmonts and friction which we furnish for the carriage sufficient to logs twenty -four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made. The pump sent is worked hy the engine, and l. sufficient to raise water abou, twenty feet Where ii is desirable 10 raise water Ia supply the boiler. from greater depth a force punu will be furnished and an extra charge made for it. Drawings and fnll explanations are sent with each mill. also, complete model, showing all the parts put together on a small scale with each part num- hered the same the corresponding part on the ma. chnery the mill. Thus assurance is made doublv sure. that no one can fail put up te mill and run it without trouble.
 The Combination Milf is confidently offered to the public as the most simple, efficient and practical ma chine for manufacturing lumber. ever produced
 Parties desiring to ore of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing do so by calling on us at St. Louis also parties desiring have their mill for va rded to them from New Orleans Ia can be ac- coInmodated IS we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand. there. dS -eH as here
 When convenient far purchasers to send in their orders week two in advance the time they want the mill shipped gould resi- ectfnlly ask them to do so.
 No mill is considered ordered until at least 500 is paid on it.
