Rapid Development OF a valuable
Invention.
The rapid strides taken by the Belknap
Water Motor Company in the last two years
has brought it to the attention of business
men of this city, who are ever on the alert
and know good thing when they see it.
That the machines manufactured by this
company are valuable inventions is attested
by the fact that they have come into such
general use in so short time. The first
patented improvement upon the Little Giant
Water Motor was allowed in October, 1889.
The first patent on the Cyclone coffee mill
being taken out April LIST, 1890, and another
patent on the Cyclone coffee mill was allow
ed April Sth, $780, There are eight of these
Cyclone coffee mills in the city Of Portland.

and in our finest groceries. In the eastern
part of the state they are in use by the most
enterprising grocers of Houlton, Fort Fair
field, Ellsworth, Brewer, and Bar Harbor, al
SO in Richmond, Brunswick and South Paris,
and in the states of N. H., VT, Mass, r. l.,
and Conn. In NY, Washington, Indianap-
oils, end from Minneapolis to San Francisco
and Australia. The Cyclone mill is certain
ly a most desirable machine for grocers; it
occupies little room, is fine looking ma
chine, and Is surel, a great improvement
Hundreds of the LittleIGiant Water Motors
Improved are now in use, in nearly every
state of the Union from Canada to the Gulf,
and from Caribou and Eastport to San Fran
cisco. There are large number of them in
the southern states, twenty-four having been
placed In Galveston, Texas, alone.
The work accomplished by these Little
Giants is wonder to the beholder, steam
engines are discarded to make room for them
where from one to 10 b. p. is required. The
latest invention perfected by the Co. is the
combined motor and dynamo, which can be
seen at the office Of the Co: % Exchange

The Belknap Water Motor Co., having
outgrown the limits laid down in its papers
of incorporation, new company, under the
name of the Belknap Motor Co. has been
formed with capital of $4,000 90, which
will go into the manufacture and sale of wa
ter motors, power mills, dynamos, electric
motors. and machinery Of various kinds.
Among the inc0rporators are leading busi-
ness men of Portland, viz: W. Fl. Scott,
Hon. Geo. P. Wescott, E. Il. Payson. Seth L.
Larrabee, III. L.. Jones. G. r. Dyer, f. M.
Lawrence. Geo. w. Brown, +. K. Morse, E.
r. Dyer, Megquier & Jones, and Sullivan &
Osgood. With the valuable inventions
owned by this Co., and with its ample CAPT.
tai and energetic management, we believe
that where hundreds of these motors are
now in use, thousands will follow. Manu-
featuring Is just what Portland wants, and
that this company will develop into large
manufacturing industry there can be no
doubt, judging from present indications.
