nhg AT rglt angles TO the first elevator and drops
the grain into wagon that runs alongside the Gin

ton; one examining it will wonder why such invention
has not long ago been in We do not hesitate ia
say that this machine EXCELS ALL OTllEhS greatly
III simplicity OF construction IN being less liable TO
get out of order, In durability, in ease in operating
in the quantity of grain ii will cut and the excellent
manner in which II performs its work
In plain TRUTH in tie judgment of the Committee II
