IMPROVED
UTLEY HAY PRESS,

49, t'N IHNh 80
(when it was first introduced to the pub
lic,) has proved far superior to any other
portable Hay Press i'm power ana ccono-
my, we are now prepared to manufac-
ture with improvements that add much
to the efficiency of the Machine, and to the
ease with which it is worked.
The immense W. and small amount
of friction in this Pless render il invalua-
BILE to those whose farms are adapted to
raising,,clover and grass, as il enables theIs
to ship their hay crop to a distant market
with profit. -rMe cost of bdiliny the hay, uith
experienced hands mol exceeding 81 90 per
ton, rhile from
Six to eight Tons can be loaded
i'm an ordinary BoxtCar.
The best time to press hay being during
rainy weather when other farm work Is
stopped, the cost OF baling is merely nom
inal to those who hire their hands by the
month, as it gives these employment when
they would otherwise be Idle. We re-
quest the attention ofthose in want of the
best and cheapest Hay Press in the mar
ket, to the following statements from gem
tlemen well kown in this community, Nc
to the operation ofthe Press last year.
OOLTAwAH, Tenn, une I'd 1870.
Messrs. RICHARDSON, BURR & TERRY:
GENTS:-Using four hands I have made
with the Utley Hay Press, purchased from
You, twenty bales in "a winter day, aver
aging about two hundred and forty
pounds each. The heaviest bale weighed
a little over three hundred pounds, and |
believe that with more care in bailing, my
bales would have averaged much heavier
than they did. packed from. forty-five
to forty-eight bales in n car.
Respectfully N. A. CUILAR.
SwEETwATER, Tenn, June ID 1870.
Messrs. Richardson, Barr q Terry. GEN
TLEMEN:-ln answer to your letter i'm
curing as to the performance Of the IT.
ley Hay Press, sent me by your firm last
fall, take pleasure i'm stating, that with
four hands. | have made eighteen bales in
one day, averaging about two hundred
and fifty pounds, and that | Idly packed
forty-eight of the bales in a car, the total
weight being 2,I36 pounds. The heaviest
bale made by the press weighed over
three hundred pounds. and am satisfied
with proper care in packing into the press,
all the bales could be made of this weight.
Respectfully, ROBERT SNEED.
President East Tenn. Agricultural Society.
ABINGDON, Va. June ID, 1870.
MeSsrs Richardson. Burr d Terry.
GENTLEMEN:-Thc Utley Hay Press,
which you are manufacturing, | used lass
winter and spring. and balcd several crops
Of hay. The press does not work well ia
the rain, but under cover IL does splendid
work. After the hands became expert
enced in the press they could readily put
up fifteen bales i'm a day, weighing 300
pounds per bale, and fifty-siX of these
bales can be packed in a first class car. or
fOrty-eight in a second class car. Tho
best crop | had baled averaged 301 pounds,
and some bales were made weighing as
much az 4S0 pounds. In one Of the ears
thai / loaded there were put over IL 1000
pounds and there can be that much put
In every first class car.
Respectfully, +. NJ. CAMPBELL
KNOX COUNTY, Tenn, June A, 1870.
MeSSrs. Richardson, Burr f Terry.
GENTLEMEN:-W We consider the hay
baled by the Utley Hay Press of your
manufacture fully equal in all important
requisites to that baled in the best nor
thern presses, and far superior in its sala-
bic qualities, viz: compactncss, size and
proportion of bales to any that we have
seen baled at the South. We have re-
ceived a number of consignments Of hay
during the past season, and found that
baled in your presses the most profitable
for shipping to the Southern market. In
a visit to Macon Ca, we saw "A number Of
bales sent from New England, which
were inferior i'm every respect except tho
quality of the hay to the bales made in'the
Utley Press. We consider it the. only
press making understandable bales intro
duced into East Tennessee, and can there
fore fully recommend il To all who wish
TO ship their hay to distant markets.
