HARDAWAY'S BOLT, SPIKE
AND
Rivet Manufacturing Company,
OF BALTIM0 ORE.

tqre of BOLTS. NUTS. SPIKES and RTVETS, 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 are designed to be
perfect throughout, of equal strength and uniformity
nave heretofore been made by hand and at great ex
make average less than 1000 bolts per day nor
are the bolts so made perfect in shape strength.
=, The great deslderatum has been to get machine
that would make bolt UNI form and eQuallv strono
throughout, with head of any shape and perfect and
turn them out with great rapidity. MOORE HARDA-
WAY, Esq, one OF the oldest and most thoroughly
practical mechanics in the country, has invented a
machine which fills all the requirements mentioned
head of any shape, and will make three times as
many, In given time, as any other machine in use.
The advantages this machine possesses over all others
will enable the Company using it to control the bolt
trade of the country.
The business of these claims to superiority over
other Bolt Mach nes has been submitted to the best
mechanics in the country, and they have ALL uphesi
tatlngl y, pronounced the machine unqualified and
perfect success in eveg particular. We append the
certificates of few of the most practical mechanics
Of this city, who have made careful examination of
the machines and put their work the severest test
In few words, it is claimed for Hardaways Spike
and Riyet Machines that for cheapneSs. simplicity,
durabIAy, quantity and quality Of t7orh turned out,
1t is proposed to organize STOCK COMPANY,
BOLT, SPIKE AND RfVET MANUFACTURING
COMPANY OF BALTIMORE, with capital stock
of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars in
shares of One Hundred Dollars each,
Messrs. White Il Butterworth are to grant to said
Company the sole and exclusive right to manufac-
ture use, and sell, Hardaway's Patent Bolt. Spike
and Riyet Machines in the States Of Maryland: Vir
ginia, West Virginia Kentucky. Tennessee, Mssis-
sippi. Louisiana, Texas. Arkansas, Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia and Florida.
ny's Machines over Others there are other obvious
reasons aside from geographical location that would
Southern trade The demand for all kinds of Bolts,
Spikes, Rivets, Nuts, &C.. which the Company will
manufacture, is, and must continue to be unlimited,
and the Company will undoubtedly be able to pay a
25 per cent dividend the first year, that can do so is
capable of demonstration.
The business of the Company may be enlarged and
t thought best any part of the territory granted
to the Company can be sold. and the proceeds paid
out as dividends, The operations of the Company
will commence at once. Twelve hundred shares of
the stock remain to be taken.

MessrS. WHITE & BUTTERwoRTR:
Bolt and Spike Machines it gives pleasure to say
think it fully merits all that is claimed for it.
hope to see an establishment for the manufacture of
these indispensable articles in city, equal to the
present and growing demand Yours I i A tTTqMys

BALTIMORE, Jan. %, 1866.
Messrs. WHITE & BUTTERwoRTH:
Gentlemen: We have examined your "Hardaway's
Improved Patent Bolt. Spike and Rivet Machines"
Improvement in the bolts you make They are per.
feet in all their parts have weak point. They
are superior to any machine made bolts have ever
seen, and are equal if not superior to any made by
hand.
The machine is simple in construction and so made
that it is durable and not likely to get out of repair
We regard it perfect success in every particular
The rapidly with which you make bolts, depends
solely upon your facilities for feeding From seeing
the machine work, we 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 as most valuable one.
We regard the Spike and Rivet Machines as being
superior for the work they intended todo as they
make the best OF spikes and riVets, and turn them
them out very rapidly.
Truly go
