TNE CHIEF EXHIBIT.
Now that the Exposition Is Over, We
Can Calmly Determine What
It Was.
It Was the Display Of Agricultural I'm.
plcments.


Our farming readers well know that to fully
realize the value Of crop OF corn 1t must be
thoroughly shcllcti. This fact has been par
ticularly impressed upon us during the entire
time OF the Exposition just closed. The attcn-
ton Of our silrcwd, practical yeomcn visitors
has been attracted by no one exhibit in tho Gil
tire display so much as by that OF the Sand
wich Manufacturing Company, of Sandwich,
Ill, This celebrated manufacturing organization
has shown working samples Of tue famous
Sandwich " Adams Shelters, and the simple,
expeditions, and perfect manner In which the
invention in question accomplished Its wcrk'
was the theme Of unccaslng notice anu praise
frou, tue beginning to tho close OF the Exposi-
ton. Not only did it continuously command
the admiration OF its old friends, the farmers
of the Northwest, but its obvious mechanical
EXCEL cnvc earned the frequent alld hearty Gu
comums of practical men in all walks OF lifc
These shelters are made in graded sizes to
suit the necessities Of various buyers, aud may
be used either by horse, steam, or hand power.
They do their work in such an honest, complete
style, stripping the cob clean ot every Kernel,
that thcy have secured the good Viii ol lcEions
Of users throughout the country. We find from
careful inquiry that they hold tue control OF tile
market everywhere, and that more of them are
sold annually than OF :ll other makes OF shelters
combined With these admirable shelters NJ
their command, the purchasers have always
been able to shell their corn ut home, right on
their own farms, thereby saving enormously on
the cost Of transporting corn IN the COD 10 the
market. They have also had the advantage Ut
being able to sell Or Use Tug GODS LOT luel' oc-
sides raiuine largely over their ncighbors on ac-
count OF the clc:lruess III their corn and its cor
respoudiutr high favor with buyers. lnticcd 1t
has always been 4 matter OF wondcrmcnt to us
that farmers would ever send their corn to mar
%b.nsv tff
directly to themselves BY the use Of such an ad-
mirabe invention.
These superb shelters carefully separate the
corn from the cobs, dcposting the former, after
cleaning it perfectly by fans, into bag, wagon
box. or bin, Nothing could be asked OF 4 corll-
shelter. even by the most c1acting and captious
OF critics, which is not mere fully met and ac.
conpllshcd. They arc the result OF years OF
experienced study aud inventive genius practi-
cally applied. and have been proved exactly
what was wanted bY long and severe trial. They
are sold for absolutely satisfactory corn-shcll-
ers, and they ill the bill.
The Sandwich Company also shows one Of the
excellent Adams Il French haryesters., No
similar invention ever perfected has earned stlch
steady, tnyaryiug cosnEncuuatiull. Nhethcr
used IN cutting the thinnest Of barley Or hcay
matted grain, it has always done It's task 1T 4
clean speedy, and wnra1nanlke manner. THESE
harvcsters are now fitted. when desired, with Il
tAoroughly-eiflcient selt-binder' m:!klns tiem'
~
tions in this, the era Of bread-produclny and
labor-saying machinery.
We have always been especially impressed
with the honest ,lla1>,ivr in which the Sandwich
Company make their goods. Only perfect ma
teriai is ever used by them. In all their she'll
crs and haryesters. the wood, steel, and iron IS
of tue finest and most durable description.
Their machines are made to last, and they dom t
break down. a.,
Taking everything into consideration. the
#
workmanship, and the continuous attention at
tracted and admiration elected by ther11-wc must
rank the display of this Company as one ol the
most II not the most, usrtn and valuable in the
entire Exposition. 10 enable tile farmers of thc
Great West to realize every cent possible on al
sncriai consideration of US all. This object is
attained in Il remarkable degree by the shelters
and harycstrrs Of the Sandwich Manufacturing
