Rivet Manufacturing Company.

The enormous profits resulting from the manufac
tpre OF BOLTS; NUTS. SPIKES and RlNBTS, and
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
have heretofore been made by hand and at great ex
pense The best Bolt Machines that have been used
make on an average less than 1000 bolts per day. nor
are the bolts so made perfect in shape or strength
The great desideratum has been to get machine
that would make bolt ana form and equallv strong
turn them out with great rapidity M0oRE UiRpt-
WAY, Esq, one of the Oldest and most thoroughly
practical mechanics in the country, has invented n
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
The advantages this machine possesses over all others
Will enable the Company using II to control the bolt
trade of the country.

of this city, who have made careful examination of
the machines and put their work to the severes test
In a few words it is claimed for Hardaways Spike

In addition to the vast superiority Of the Compa-
ny's Machines over others, there other obvious
reasons aside from geographical location that would
secure for the Baltimore Company control of the
Southern trade. The demand for all kinds of Bolts,

capable OF demonstration.
The business Of the Company may be enlarged and
extended, as circumstances may render it cxpedient

Dear Sirs Having the operation of your
Bolt and Spike Machines it gives me pleasure TO saw
| think it fully merits all that is claimed for IT,
hope to see an establishment for the manufacture of
these indispensable articles in our city equal to the
present and growing demand. Yours truly,

Messrs. WHITE BUTTERwoRrH:
Gentlemen We have examined your "Hardaway's
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 machine made bolts we have ever
SEEM and 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 rapidity 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, regard the
invention n most valuable one.
We regard the Spike and Rivet Machines as being
superior for the work they are intended TODD as thew
make the best of spikes and riyets, and turn them
them out very rapidly.
Truly yours &c,
