RALEIGH, N. c., Sep. 20, 1895.
Mr.. T. IUey, s. B. a.
DEAR SIR: I wish to say that the corn
and cob mill bought for mt by you has
been in use on my farm for several
weeks. and it has given entire satisfac-
+ion. IL is very simple in construction
and operation, strong and of easy draft.
We grind four to five bushels corn and
cob Der hour with one good size mule. |
II will grind much faster with two
mules kept moving a good gait. l like
= The feed is better, in my opinion, /
than pure whole corn, and is a great
saving. Respectfully.
J. M. BRoUGHToN.

sideration of their appreciation of the

during this g one Farmers Alliance
Sewing Machine.
Second. To the Sub, Agent who buys

the third greatest number, a No Boss
Washing Machine, or q set of No. 101
Single Buggy Harness, all delivered

Now is your opportunity. You can
work for the prize and at the same
time benefit your neighbors. We should
be glad If all who intend entering the
contest will write Us at once, 20 that
We may report to factory. We will
furnish you with slips giving full de-
sCriptiOn and q cut of the machine.
About 1000 are now In use In North
Carolina. You cannot say too much
in their favor.
The above offer was made in the
early part of this year, and shortly
Gtterward it was apparent from the
rect Revenue Act that agents could
not solicit orders for these machines
without laying themselves liable for
the $500 license tax. From q circular
recently sent out by Treasurer Worth
regarding pianos and organs it is in
terred that agents may solicit as much
as they please only so they do not sell
from a stock in this State, or sell their
samples. In the circular referred to
the treasurer says: Il have made the
most LIBERAL construction that the law
Will admit, the same as in case of sew
ing machines. All are liable except
those acting only as agents for man
utacturers or dealers outside the State;
who take orders and the instrument is
sold at the factory and shipped direct
" to the agent on each order, or di
rectly to the customer. Those who ex
for organs or pianos, and trade
In them, are clearly liable for the tax"
Ali that Is said of pianos and organs
may be said Of sewing machines.
The Agency handles no class of
goods that Is better value for the mon
9y than the Alliance sewing machine
and 1t should go into every Alliance
l n the land where a sewing ma
chine Is needed.
