Machine Works.
We have had frequent occasion to
refer to the foundation of our city
prosperity and healthy growth. to
her skillful Mechanics and Artizans;
and to the fourishing Manufac
tories of various kinds, dotting our
city over with their business estab.
The extensive shops of
the Robinson Machine Works, is
one of those evidences of thrift to
which we can point with pride
During the past year, this Company
has done o business amounting to
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars-just fifty thousand dollars
of an increase over that of last
year; and now, at the close of sum-
mer and the commencement of fall.
all their Thrashing Machines and r
Separators, Portable Engines and
Horse Powers, are disposed Of
ALL soLD-and orders for more are
being rapidly executed.
So busily have all bands been en-
gagged on work ordered, that the
Proprietors had not determined un-
til six days prior to Monday last, to
make any work for exhibition at
the Cincinnati Exposition, which
opened on the third of this month,
"wednesday last Short as the
time was, first class Thrashing
Machine end Separator !; Portable
Engine, and Horse Power, were
finished completely and we were
called on to examine their hand
work, and give the public our un-
biased Judgment regarding their
merits, which we the more freely
do, from the fact that the universal
public, wherever the work from the
s:Robinson' Mandatory has been
introduced, is decided in endorsing
it as "a No. l."
The Separator Thrashing Ma
chine, is beautiful and substantial
piece of workmanship-perfect in
all its parts, and all the latest i'm
provements affixed especially the
Register and measurer, mo trouble
to count the bushels-they count
themselves as fast as the slide over
the measurer is pulled out and
showed in. All the ingenuity that
good mechanical brains can do, has
been done TO SAVE the grain. and
this the Robinson Thrasher does to
perfection. The painting on this
machine is good, and was done BY
Phil. Snyder. He should have had
q little more time to have put the
artistic touches on it; but there was
really no necessity to have finished
it as highly as il is, unless it had
been designed to place it in par
lor as an ornament, of superior
workmanship.
| The Portable Steam Engine is
one of the BEST manufactured any
place, and is finished and brass
mounted in o superior manner
Charley Sinex's boilersnever s'bust'
they are wsysreiable-st strong
and, in the expressive language Of
Friends, always bear . good "testi
mony.' ,
The Horse Power is decidedly 6
strong machine, and shows thai
the workmen, getting it up, need
not be ashamed of their work. Al
these machines have been construc
ted out of the best of material, ant
in the same workman like manner
that all similar work is executed q
this establishment; but, of course
designed as they arc for exhibition
in competition with others at tn
is Cincinnati Exposition, more orna
mentation is used on them than o.
their icust1m work, there Is mot
particle of difference in their lastin,
