Cenfripetal Power Msch:nes-A
Proposition at Last.
We publish articles to-day from
Cumberland papers where Messrs Smith
& Co., have been for a few days, and
have sold the exclusive right to sell
and manufacture their Ceutripetal Pow"
er machines. We also publish the re.
port OF q committee from Cumberland,
who came here to witness said ma
chimes. Prominent men in Culnbers
land, Nd, have now purchased the
right to manufacture aad sell the Diff
ferent machines in certain portions OF
Pennsylvania and all the State Of
Maryland, aud will commence to man.
ufac.ure st once. Mr.. Smith returned
to this city yesterday and will offer
proposition 10 the citizens OF Wheeling
to. day, in regard to the manufacture
and sale OF their machines for Western
Pennsylvania aud West Virginia, and
we certainly hope our business men
and those interested in the prosper ity OF
Wheeling, will secure the manufacture
OF said machines to this city. From
what we have seen ourselves, the de-
mapd for them will be equal TO thst Of
the moving machines and. with nothing
to compete with them, the sale must be
immense.
From the Cumberland Times.
WE have several times referred TO the
Centrlpetal Motive Power Machines
which have for the past week been on
exhibition at No. 4 Baltimore street,
and which have been visited by hurn
dreds Of our citizens, all of whom must
have been convinced OF their utility
and great value to the farmers and
mechanics.
We were pleased to learn also that
several OF our prominent men and cap
itsIists became sufficiently interested to
procure ar interest in this section OF
MARYLAND and Pennsylvauia adjoining,
as to select q committee, Dr.. 5. Fun
denburg, who is a scientific, practical
and successful farmer, ard S. 7. Hill,
who thoroughly understands the mech
anism Of machinery-to goto Wheeling
and there carefully inspect all theses
machines as driven by horse power.
The result Of their Investigations aud
their tests &c. OF the new power we give
below in their own language, and we
are pleased to learn that pIrchase was
made on Saturday Of the exclusive
right to manufacture sod sell these ma,
chimes in Allegheny, Washington and
Garrett counties, Maryland, and Somer-
set, Bedford and Fulton counties, in
Pennsylvania. The parties who have
secured the above territory are Hon
LLOYD Lowndes, Jr., D. c. Bruce, &. +.
Gephart, j. I. Hill, Dr. FundenHurg,
NJ. A. Fropt and other, and we nnde'-
stand mandatory will be established
at once in our city.
The demand for these various ma
chimes can be readily estimated when
nearly every farmer or carpenter who
sees them in operation inquiries, How
soon can | get one2" And we ouraelve9
have heard those inquiries while we
were examining them,
We append the report OF Mr.. Hill
and DR.. Fundenburg, which will be read
with interest by all
CUMBERLAND, July 25, 1878.
CENTENNIAL have carefully eI-
amined the "Centripetal Motive Power"
and can without the least hesitation
pronounce it the invention OF the age
lis praises have been sounded upon all
sides, and yet l consider it but in Its
infancy in usefulness. 1t has in every
instance more than fulfilled the promi-
SEES OF it's owners. To see one horse,
upon an ordinary tread power, thresh
fifty bushels OF grain each hour, or
grind ten bushels OF grain into elegant
chop, or corn into prime meal, only
needing the sieve to complete it; to
plane plank equal to ten
horsepower engine; to rip plank;
cut straw and fodder as WAS never done
before is only.a part Of the many new
things done by this utillzer OF power.
With the hand power one man will &C.
complish what we have been with ljfii
Guilty able to get from horse power, and
with one horse. that which ten horse
power engine would consider hard
work. You need but see it at work to
fully appreciate its usefulness and its
applicability 10 almost every location
where cogs have been used. 1t will be
savings bank TOR the farmer. The
com pact form will recommend it, and
it's cheapnsss will sell it everywhere.
l could tell you all | saw it DO, but for
fear you might discredit me, ! ask YOU
to see for yourselves.
Very respectfully.
