HARDAWAY'S BOLT, SPIKE
AND
Rivet Manufacturing Company
OF BALTIMOR

The enormous profits resulting from the manufac-
tpre of BOLTS, NUTS. SPIKES and RIVETS, and
the unlimited demand for those articles renders any
improvement in machinery for making them worthy
of the attention of capitalists.
While many bolts are made by machines construct
ed for that purpose, all bolts, that designed to be
perfect throughout of equal strength and uniformity
pense. The best Bolt Machines that have been used
make on an average less than 900 bolts per day. nor
are the bolts SO made perfect in shape strength
that would make bolt uni form and equally strong
throughout, with head of any shape and perfect. and
Way Esq, one of the oldest and most thoroughly
practical mechanics in the country, has invented a
machine which fills all the requirements mentioned
above as it makes perfect bolt of any length with
head OF any shape, and will make three times as
many, IN given time as any other machine in use.
Inc advantages this machine possesses all others
VIII enable the Company using 1t to control the bolt
trade of the country.
The business of these claims to superiority over
other Bolt Machine has been submitted to the best
mechanics in the country, and they have all, unhes
tatingly pronounced the machine unequalled, and a

Messrs. WHITE BUTTERwoRTH:
= Gentlemen We have examined your "Hardaway's
Improved Patent Bolt, Spike and Rivet Machines y
and the work they turn out. We could suggest no
Improvement in the bolts you make. They are per-
feet in all their parts-have no weak point They
are superior to any machine made bolts we have ever
seen, and are equal if not superior to any made by
hand.
The Machine is simple in construction and so made
that is durable and not likely to get out of repair
regard 1t as perfect success in every particular
The rapidity with which you make bolts. depends
solely upon your facilities for feeding. From seeing
the mac hine work, suppose three thousand bolts
per ten hours to be reasonable work for one feeder
As the demand for bolts is unlimited, we regard the
invention most valuable one
We regard the Spike and Rivet Machines as being
superior for the work they intended todo as thev
make the best of spikes and riyets, and turn them
them out very rapidly.
Truly yours, &C.,
