4 FTER having efiectually tested our improved
IN Hanged ribbed Gin, offer to the public very
superior machine constructed that stems and bulls
viii not be cut by the will the teeth be ured
by hard substances getting into the gin, and eonse-
quenty making better sample out OF roughly picked
cotton.
1t is designed to gin the Peeler or any long staple
as well the ordinary cotton which is usually ginned
on the saw gin.
The fange essentially necessary to the perfection
of the gin, by it each takes the cotton up
into its department. never allowing it to reach
over to any other
BY it also the cotton is kept contact with the
either side until stripped of the FIBRE and then i'm
mediately discharged, and thus by keeping clean
white roll as it is called, the amount of cotton gnned
IN given time is increased at least so per cent.
1t simple in its construction and cannot get out of
order.
It is of light d-aught and the roll so perfect that it
does not require skilled hand to attendt.
The frames are made of solid ash and put together
with bolts in the most substantial manner
We refer to the following certificates from reliable
planters:
