where there is ono that will make equally
good slaves by the process Of riving.-
There is another advantage which this ma
chine offers, and that is. the slaves being
completed ready for use at the factory.
they will weigh just about half IS much as
the rived slaves. which have to be shaved
down by the coopers after delivery: and
that. as consequence. they cost but about
one half as much to freight them.
| Not only have these geatlemen becu
running these machines for neatly four
years past. bat they have sold q number.
including right OF territory. to other par
ties, who have been equally successful in
their business. and they confidently look
for the hour when they will be in general
use throughout the United States. We
understand that the Messrs. Huriburt.
Bros. d Co. still have valuable ,erritor,
: for sale. and are ready to treat with re-
spon.ibls parties.
The sale of these machines has been
much retarded by tho breaking out OF the
Shareholders rebellion. and they have
therefore good reasons for hating the Pc
culiar mstitution. the cause Of the rebellion.
But aside from all personal interest. they
are staunch and undertaking war men. and
go for Old Abe every time. When Un-
Gle Sam has full and peaceable possession
OF the noble Mississippi and its tributa-
ries. they expect to plant thcso stave ma
chimes down in the Southern cypress
swamps. The timber grown down there
is difficult to be rived. but can be worksl
up beautifully by this machine; and ey-
press makes capital slaves for molasses
casks and other like uses.
In connection with their works st Ply
mouth. Messrs. Hurlburt. Bros & Co.
have in ope.ation flour barrel stavs
machine which by the way is also one of
their own invention. which ;s turning ous
over three millions of excellent slaves for
that purpose per year. They also have .
Hour barrel heading saw st work, making
heading to match the slaves.
10 sum up. the proprietors claim .be
following advantages for these machines
over any other process for making slaves:
l. The great saving OF oftimbsr-making
more slaves than can be rived from Civ
en- amount of timber.
2. Saving the slaves With the grain Of
the wood.
8. The ability to follow round with
the circle of the log. and produce . stave
with the grains the same ss If rived by
hand.
4. That it is quickly adjusted from ono
length or thickness to another. making .
stave from one foot to six feet long, or
from one-half inch to two and one-half
inches thick. I
8. That it produces dressed slaves i've
dollars per Thousand cheaper than they
can be rived and dressed by hand.
The proprietors of this machine have
large shops for the manufacture of barrels
from these slaves, two blocks south OF
Twelfth street. on the track of the Pitts
burg and Fort Wane Road. in this city.
employing about City ooopcrs setting I, en-
up at ten cents less per barrel than 10 paid
for rived slaves. They invite all to come
and see the operation. Their counting
room is also located at the same place.
AS stated a'ovc. we pail a visit to
their establishment at Plymouth. . few
days since. thoroughly examined and saw
these machines in operation. and we arc
ready to give them our hearty endorse
ment. believing most sincerely that they
will perform all that is claimed for them
by the owners.
