the Advantages Of Portable over Stationary
Engines The first cost is less, they occu-
py only half the space, arc more economical
in use, are readily moved from place to
place without dctatching or dcranging any
Of their parts, are better adapted toa great
variety Of work, and are more salablc In
case you wish 70 dispose Of them.
And just here We wish 10 do our readers
. favor By calling their attention Gin an
other column TO the advertisement Of one
Of the Oldest and most successful manu-
facturies Of Portable Steam Engines in the
United States. We refer to Messrs. A. N.

field at y time when the man ufacluss Of
Portable Engines was looked upon % On

or illustration Of A merican inventive talent
and American energy and industry in
meeting The demands of the age.
Step BY step they have prog rsssed 10 the
development Of the trade, evincing . CON-
meniabls enterprise, .promptness and libsr-
Atty in originating and adopting the im.
provements which have given 20 their ma
chimes peculiar excellence. With the prac-
tical experience of years, together with
careful study Of what was requisite and de-
sirable in such . machine, they devoted
themselves to designing and psrfscting .
portable engine that should be ct once
model for beauty, simplicity, durability,
economy and safety.
Having an opportunity recently to exam
inc one o! their eng at wors, We were
struck with It's marvellous perfection in all
rmpoos. There would seem 10 BE- no room
f'r any further improvement.
Moving with the power Of q Giant, ito
motion was as noiseoss as the zephyr aud as
easily controlled as child.
They are made OF the best material known.
