turing sausages of pure material, by newly pa
tented machine'using ten knives and propelled by
steam; enablng US to make them at a much cheap.
er rate than by the old process.
by this machine, the meat and seasoning are
thoroughly mixed giving an even flavor through
ont. We would also say. that bread and crackers
form part of the ingredients of our sausage. nor
have any recipe for making that sort Of stun
notwithstanding some dealers have reported to the
contrary.
We think such persons would do better to attend
to their own business, than to NEEDLE with the af-
fairs of their neghbors, of which they know moth
ing.
We invite all persons interested to visit our
sausage room, examine all the material used, and
witness the Dsodts operdn6i OF the whole thing
when we are in full operation. dec3l-t7t
