PATENT SAFETY BRAKE

fAIENI SAf Ell DNAAE
For Endless Chain Horse Powers,
SOMETHING that every owner of an
y ENDLESS CHAIN HORSE POWER
should have, being q certain preventive Of
accidents to horses, relieving the mind Of
the thresher from anxiety, or apprehension
on account of tho Slipping or Falling of the
Beh which frequently occurs, in tire shng
gleanngs, or damp grain, whereby the motion
Of the machine is suddenly checked. 1t is
very simple in its construction, WEIGHS
BUT ONE POUND, can be placed on either
side of the Po,cer changed in three minutes,
and when .threshing is done, can BIO removed
from the Porer in a second.
Unlike other Patent Brakes, it does not
detract from the power of the thresher.
1t is a combination of Safety, Neatness,
Simplicity, Compactness, Durability, Eff
cheney and Perfection, and needs but to be
seen to be appreciated.

WYE again call the attention of the public
w to this superior low price Sewing Ma
chine. 1t works equal to any of the higher
price Machines, and as little liable to get out
of order. Very slight instruction and inge-
nuty are required to understand the few
parts of which it is composed, and their use,
and there is no excuse for getting out of
order until the parts are fairly worn out
AS consequence it always works at 4 mo-
ment's notice, though 1t may have laid aside
for months, and never stops unaccountably
or otherwise. The thread is taken direct
from the spools without reminding or other
preparation. After much wear and washing
the stitching is found to retain all the sound
ness, evenness and tirmness which are so
much admired at first. For sale by
