The great popularity of the Eagle Cot
ton Gins is established from the we'll
known fact that they are the most reliable,
strongest and bet built Cotton Gins ever
made. The Eagle Cotton Gin runs light
err than any other gin. thus having a great
advantage for planters who wish to run by
horse power. All the numerous planters
who Use the Eagle Cotton Gin viii certify
10 the fact that when their cotton is sent to
market it will always bring tie highest
market mice, rs no other gin can produce
a finer or a better sample OF cotton than
he Eagle Cn;ton Gins. Over II 600 of
the Eagle Cotton Gins haze been made and
sold. During a period of 20 wears the I'M

er had a gin returned or rejected ont of the
immense number sold. The saw Cylinders
of all the Eagle Cotton Gins are twelve in
ches in diameter, which is two inches larg-
err than the most other kind of gins, thus
giving our forty-saw gin more teeth, and
they are more than equal to the filty-saw
gins Of other makers who use only ten lnC'i
cylinders, and the same great advantage of
he twelve inch cylinder in larse-sized gins
can he easily estimated.
Planters who wish Il reliable Cotton Gin

in the head, saying damn you, you have
caused my brother considerable trouble,
