The Big Exhibit of Machinery Hall
"A Law out that AStonlsheS

DaCK seat al UnlS Ialr. NO Wnere is
this fact more apparent than in ma
chinery hall, and in nothing there is
it so manifest as in the exhibit of
Piper & Schulthess, the heavy hard
ware men of Nos. SO and 35 Commerce
street. This exhibit occupies eighty
two feet of the east side of machinery
hall, and includes little save their
agricultural implement, wagon and
carriage departments, the lack of
space preventing any display of their
heavy hardware, metals, fence wires,
timers stock, etc., etc. The exhibit
in machinery hall is presided over by
j. J. Thanem, a live business man
well posted and ready to give rea-
son for all that he advances concern
ing the merits of the multiform dis
play of which he is the representa-
tive.
This exhibit does not receive the
credit it deserves as from its arrange
ment visitors are led to regard it's
several departments as individual eX-
hibits by the manufacturers whose
goods are handled by this San An
tonic house.
Piper & Schulthess are the exhibit
tors of nearly every class of agricul-
tural implements and their display
includes the goods of the very best
houses.
They have on exhibition wagons
from the South Bend Indiana Wagon
Company's works; and, carriages and
buggies from the Cincinnati manu-
factory of G. w. Endee & Co., and
from the st. Louis houses of McCabe,
Young & Co., and d. w. Haydock.
Their pillow exhibit includes the
South Bend Chilled Plow Company's
chilled plows; the make of the Nor
wegian Plow Company of Dubuque,
Iowa, and the manufacture of j.
Thompson & Sons of BelOit, Wiscon-
sin. These goods are all standard
and so accepted by agriculturists of
experience and progressive ideas con-
corning farm implements and ma
chiuery.
They have a good exhibit of the i'm
plements of the Fremont CultivatOr
Company of Bellevue, Ohio, including
walking and riding cultivators, corn
and cotton planters. and furnish eX-
pert testimony as to lightness of
draft, manner and results of working
in various soils, and such other infOr-
nation as the purchaser of agricultu-
raj implements desires to possess be-
fore making his investments.
For the cutting of corn and cotton
stalks in order to clear the field for
blowing they show the Leader stalk
cutter and there is no better in the
market.
This exhibit also includes a good
line of feed and cutting mills for cut
ting stalks, straw and roots for cattle
and for grinding feed. Stavers' Buck
eye feed mill and feed cutter does eX-
cellent work in roots and cactus as
well as i'll cutting straw and grinding
grain. The Usage feed mill is also
another of the exhibits well spoken of
among stock feeders.
For grain growers they show the
expert grain drill which is
not a minOmer, but does it's work as
well as it does it eXpeditiOusly. ..
The we'll known reaper and binder
and mower manufacturers of Auburn,
New York, are also represented by
this house, and their exhibit Includes
the Osborne self binders, mowers,
single and combined reapers; also the
Lone Star hayrakes.
The Plano Harvester works Of Chi
cago, His, have also an exhibit of
self binders, mowers and reapers,
scrapers and harrOWs, and other ag-
riCuitural and road working nipple
nlents. which is made part of the
Piper q SChulthess exhibit, as this
house is arranging TO act as south
western Texas and Mexico agents for
the Chicago mandatory.
\ very interesting article of this
exhibit and one which is destined to
come into general use as filling a
want long felt, and hitherto unmet,
is fOur-hOrse eVener for self-binder.
This arrangement equaliZes the
uraught Of the machine, and admits
four horses to walk abreast, at the
same time avoiding all side draft. |
Its practical adaptability to the work
required is fully demonstrated, and
its place among farm implements as
sured.
Piper q Schulthess show the only |
wind mill in practical operation upon |
the ground, the perkins" There |
are other wind mills upon the ground,
some of them claiming this honor, |
but it belongs alone to Messrs. Piper |
Il Schulthess, and the mill was erect
ed by their special agents, Mandry |
4 Ward Of this place.
The machinery Of this exhibit, so
far as is possible, is connected with
The power shaft Of the engine Operat-
ing machinery hall, and the din is
very suggestive of business. The eX-
hibit itself is we'll arranged, and is
under very intelligent supervision,
the whole aim being to show
