and those interested

The subscribers would call the attention OF
those interested in Water Wheels TO the Fair
childs' Excelsior Wheel recently patented.
They have been severely tested with the most
approved iron and wood Wheels and in ali cases
when properly put in, have proved their superi-
GRITTY
The following are some Of the vantage we
claim Tor the wheel:
LIST, 1hey will give as great per cent OF power
OF the water as any other wheel, at much less
cost
I'd They are placed inside the fiume, near the
surface of the water, consequently they occupy
no space outside the 1ume, and are easily acces-
sible.
Sd, They are never effected by frost nor him
dered by ice.
4th They ate not liable 10 obstruction by
leaves, sticks, saw dust &c, nor 10 D by
anything getting into them,
9TH, They can be run without gearing getting
the power entirely with belts and are equally APP
plicabe to horizontal or TO upright shafts
9Th, They can be constructed as to perform
any number of revolutions up to 5000 per minute
and hence are peculiarly adapted to work re-
L curing high speed at the same time being eqally
II apr,cable to all other uses
The wheels when sold are complete with shaft,
frame and driving pulley, ready to belt onto, and
| can be afforded at less price than any o.her
| wheels now in use We should be happy TO hear
| from parties in want of wheels and for the sake
| Of introducing them we will personally examine
privileges and put in the wheels NJ our own rEk,
and if they do not perform as we say we VIII
| sake them At, and no questions asked. For iur-
| ther particulars address

4 Of our Excelsior Water Wheels at home, where
we could fairy test its power and ca IN our best
known and most experienced practical men to
witness its operation, we wouli submit the fol-
lowing: m ,,,.
| MEssgs. GROVER & Observation-Disclosures
In answer to your inquiries relative to the tests
| applied by use TO the fairchilds' Excelsior Water
| Wheel recently put IL operrtion IN our mill, we
| would say, LIST, As to lis operation we are per-
| fectly satisfied and AZ to It's merits as reliable
| cheap and economical motive power, the follow
ing facts and figures based upon accurate exper-
| mental knowledge will fully demonstrate. We
| were running a muley saw under feet head and
| fall with Twenty. Two Issue Re active Wheel
using 225 inches of water. The Excelsior Wheel
under the same head and fall ,tands 9 feet below
the other wheel under the disadvantage of the
food OF water from II nnd nse5 "o9 inches OF
| water.
The Excelsior Water wheel attached 10 22 ~
inch circular saw cuts board / feet long and {
| wide in one minute, al the same time driving s
"a inch cutting off saw. The mnley saw cuts the
same length and width in minutes, using q
inches more water.-Thus making difference o
AsOO feet pei day Of 10 hours in favor Of the Ex'
| celsior Wheel with less water.
We have full confidence that there is power
i enough in the Farchild Wheel 10 do its presen
WORK aud also drive the muley saw, thereby saw
| ing 100 per cent, of the whole quantity OF waite
| nsed by both Wheels Yours respectfully,
Il. FISK & S0E.
We the undersigned having witnessed the test
applied to the above wheels by the sawyers Of
Fisk & Son, cheerully endorse the CORRECTNESS
, | Of the above statements. Very respectfully.
