sixty pounds of fruit in sixteen hours,
on your No. 2 Dryer. In comparison
to sun-dried fruit, yours is as wheat
fiou. to bran. Sold my apples around
home for tn cents per pound; packed
mostly in small boxes. There are many
around me that see the advantages
of your DryeI, and are now sorry they
did not buy early in the season."

where else, and among the many Dry

MRS H.. NJ SMITH, of Randall Road,
New York, says she can dry five pounds
every two ana one half hours on the
No. , this would make hfty-two pounds
per day. She would not part with it for
any price if she could rot get another.
We will q that the o Cf apples and
peaches Mrs, Smith sent us are the
fine t We have ever seen, and much
nicer than we have ever been able to
produce. We would advise any one
who can rot produce extra nice fruit in
the Dryer. tc write to her for informa-
