| to reply to another Cotton Gin Advertise
ment, and assure the public that I would not
do it, but for the efforts now being made publicly
and privately, by circular and other means, to
produce the impression that am imposing upon
farmers, by selling spurious article of Cotton
Gin, and therefore not entitled to their patron
age.
In one instance, private letter was written to
a party, to whom had sold Gin, in which the
writer stated that he had learned of his having
purchased a Gin of me, and wished to state that
mine was not genuine article, but very inferior
to his, &C., Ne. He concluded about as follows
81 do not write you this to create dissatisfaction
with your purchase, but to prevent you from be-
ing imposed upon" What beautiful exhibition
Of disinterested kindness? Such DEVICES and
means to sell goods did not originate this year,
but are old and stale, and had supposed would
scarcely be resorted to by any respectable business
house in the year of our Lord, 1866. First, /
will say that H. L. Emery never made a Cotton
Gin in the United States, previous to Nov. 4th,
1864. Emery Bros. commenced the manufac-
ture of Gins in 1859. The first made was opera
ted in Georgia, by G. W. Emery, of Emery Bros
This test suggested certain alterations, which
were made upon his return home, and since that
time the Emery Gin has been regarded by all
who know it, to be the best Gin extant
The Gin was exhibited in England in 1862 and
which was so much applauded by the cotton
growers and others of Asia, was manufactured by
Emery Bros, the very men whose Gins I'll. L.

it, therefore, is due to Emery Bros, and not to
Fl. l.. Emery, who was only the exhibitor The
reputation which the Emery Gin now carries.

manufacturing, and upon this reputation they
are now working. The"Picker Roll Supporter -
which is the burden of their song, is an nsignih-

By actual experiment, they have proven a dec-
ded detrment, instead of advantage They
serve as something to talk about, and for that
reason will answer some people admirably WELL
That it is decided disadvantage, l can prove to

regard it as positively forced upon me, have
in no instance, publicly privately sought to
reeo.nmend my goods by condemning my neigh
bors; upon the contrary, reject both the princi-
pie and policy. deny that H. L. Emery d Son
are successors to Emery Bros. L profess to sell
the genuine Emery Gin, the same Gin that has
such wide reputation in this country and Europe.
That Emery Bros do manufacture such Gins at
the Albany Cotton Gin Manufacturing Com
