Demopolis, Alabama.
A FTER having efectually tested our improved
IN Hanged ribbed Gin, we offer to the public very
superior machine constructed that stems and hulls
will not be cut by the will the teeth be injured
BY hard substances getting into the GIN and conse
quently making better sample out OF roughly picked
| cotton.
It is designed to gin the Peeler any long staple
as well as the ordinary cotton which is usually gnned
on the saw gin
The anee is essentially necessary to the perfection
of the saw gin by it each takes the cotton up
into its own department. allowing it to reach
| over to any other saw.
By it also the cotton is kept in contact with the
on either side until stripped of the fibre, and then i'm
mediatey discharged and thus by keeping clean or
white roll it 10 called, the amount OF cotton ginned
| in given time is increased at least 80 per cent.
1t IS simple in its construction and cannot get out OF
order.
It is of light draugh and the roll so perfect that il
does not require skilled hand to attend it.
The frames made of solid ash and put together
| with bolts in the most substantial manner.
We refer to the following certificates from reliable
planters:
