O,OOO DOLLARS

Clear gain to ClearfeId county, per annum. by
manufacturing their pine timber into Shingles, on
Huey's Celebrated Patent Ssfagie Machtne. which
makes beautiful shingIe out of comparatively
inferior timber that would not make split shin
giles at all. The mode of operation is 1t saws
and planes the single smooth or both SsaeS at one
operation, and viii turn out finished shingles
every minute while it is kept rnnnng at its speed,
which would be six thousand per day of ten hours,
if kept running all the time; but allowing one
half of the time for greasing and other necessary
arrangements, it will make 5000 per day, which
is very safe calculation. All the hands necessa-
to run it is two; man to attend to the saving and
a boy the planning. We will here insert a few
words from the Lancaster Daily Express:

Lancaster county fairs. where the practical opera

procured at sawmill, costing ten dollars it man.

Planning Machine ever invented does-that is, it

timber, wherein its great value lies Although
we might fill sheets with its praises from eastern
papers we will only insert small extract from
the Lancaster Inland Daily Times:
