The People's vindicator. [volume] (Natchitoches, La.) 1874-1883, 1878-11-30

The success of the Avery & Sons, tn
Brinly, Miles & Hardy and the Meikle plo'
companies are due to this fact as we'll as t
the enterprise and business capacity of th
managers of these monster establishments.
is unnecessary to make invidious comparison
Of these we'll known makers. One of then
is the largest pillow factory in the world, an
they are all widely known in the vast extern
, Of territory which is covered by their trade.
The Southwestern Agricultural Works ar
extensively engaged in the manufacture o
farming machinery, and Messrs. McGill
Truman. Hewett, Field e. Co., G. Merckt
& Co., and Lewis, Gage g. Co. are manufact
urers agents for all the best implements
known to the trade. The prices at which
these articles are sold are strictly in con.
formity with manufacturers prices, and
there is nothing in the line Of farming
implements from bulltongue to threshing
machine that is not found in their catalogues.
Twenty-Five summers have come, bringing
their G. 'lden harvests, since the Mccormick
reaper issued from the workshop Of that re-
nowned inventor to astonish the muscular
harvesters of Illinois. What revolution in
grain growing has taken place since then !
Dozens of inventors have followed in his
wake, but the grand principle upon which his
reaper WAS patented remains unchanged; and
such is the mental activity and determination
not to be outstripped by later rivals, the Me-
Cormick reaper stands to-day at the head of
the list as perfect working machine 1t
would be interesting to trace the improve
ments that have been made by this inventor
since the advent Of his first reaper, but we
have space only to mention the latest i'm
provement. The self-blnder, which in its
automatic action is so perfect as to entirely do
away with the necessity for any additional
help, is boon not only to the farmer, but to
the busy housewife, whose recollections of
summer were not so much of new mown hsy
and birds and flowers as Of weary, aching
bones when she retired late At night aftor q
days cooking for dozen stalwart harvest
hands.
Since the first advent of .teamboats upon
the: Western waters, Louisville has been known
as one of the most important points for steam
boat building, and to-day the Howard ship
yards are known along sll the tributaries of
the majestic Mississippi where the symmetrical
prows of their magnificent floating palaces
pillow through the waters
From lands of snow to lands of sun.
The boilers, upon which so much OF the
afety Of these boats and their precious freight
depends are made by Joseph Mitchell, whose
equation for this kind of work is so wide as
o render him almost without competition.
In stove manufacture there are three large
one Of which, Messrs. Bridgeford
I Co., are manufacturers of the celebrated
American Range, which in its perfect adapta-
ion to the culinary department is without
oubt the best cooking stove in the world.
