A review of the business of this firm will
be eagerly looked for by the farming COM
inunity, for what firm In the State has
done the same amount of good for the
farmers? 1t is true there are many busl-
ness houses in the State whose variety of
machinery greatly exceeds theirs, but no
other has successfully grappled with the
grain cleaning problem, which is by far the
most important question in regard to rails
ing and selling the main product of the
Golden State, namely, wheat. The value
OF California wheat has deprecated in En-
ropean markets from 80 TO 80 per cent,
bu5 III. d. Nash & Co. are fast bringing
about different state of affairs by success
fully manufacturing and placing upon the
market machine that effectually sepa-
rates the foreign matter from the grain and
puts it In a condition that cannot fail to
attract TIE attention and command the ap-
probation of grain buyers IN this or any
other market This business was started
in Sacramento by H. D. Nash and some
other gentlemen about eleven years ago,
but until the past three years 1t did not
receive the same amount of encouragement
that it does at present, for this reason : The
wheat was comparatively clean, and these
machines were used only for cleaning seed,
and SO few used them for that purpose even
that large portion of the tillabie land has
become foul. In fact, when crop OF grain
is not harvested and threshed, 1t Is found
to contain nearly as much barley oats, cheat
burrs and different kinds of seeds, so that
in many cases it is difficult to determine
what the crop was really intended to be,
and to overcome the above calamity, ID.
d. Nash & Co. have invented, patented
and manufacture cleaner for attaching to
threshing machines, which receives the
wheat as it comes from the thresher and
cleans it IN highly satisfactory manner,
putting it into the sacks In No. l copdl-
ton, without any extra expense or addi-
tional help. Last season upwards of one
hundred OF these machines were in opera
ton, and the manufacturers have yet to
learn OF single instance where they did
not give perfect satisfaction. These ma
chimes were greatly improved last season
by the firm, who introduced their new
combination gang, composed of perforated
zinc and patent rolled wire, combination
which no other manufacturers on the coast
will be allowed to use. Through the
combined efforts of the propuetors,
Messrs. FL. D. Nash and L. G.
Thompson, who are men Of energy,
and experience. they have succeeded in
more than doubling the business. Last
year they greatly added to their manu-
featuring capacity by erecting the requisite
machinery Tor manufacturing, and adding
to their establishment another large room,
and they propose the coming season, if the
present hatteripg prospects Tor crop are
maintained, to enlarge again to a greater
extent than last year. In conclusion, II.
D. Nash & Co. wish to state that they are
the only legitimate manufacturers of this
class of machinery in the State, and that
any grain-cleaner marked Nash & Cults
which does not bear this trademark
g Trade-The Improved Nash s. Cutts
Grain Cleaner-Mark, is not genuine,
and the purchasers will find to sheir sorrow
that they have been imposed upon. They
make speciality of extra large cleaners for
foufing mills and warehouse purposes.
The increasing demand for these machines,
and the hourishing business of the firm,
place it among the first manufacturing
houses in Sacramento.
