RALEIGH, N. c., Sep. 20, 1895.
M. z. IUey, s. B. 4.
DEAR SIR: I wish to say that the corn
and cob mill bought for me by you has
been in use on my farm for several
weeks, and it has given entire satlstac-
ton. It is very simple in construction
and operation, strong and OF easy draft.
We grind four to five bushels corn and
cob per hour with one good size mule.
II will grind much faster with two
mules kept moving a good gait. like
i The feed is better, in my opinion,
than pure whole corn, and Is a great
saving. Respectfully,
~ J. M. BRoUGHToN.
PRIZE O YOU.-The manufacturers
If our Alliance Sewing Machine, in con-
alteration of their appreciation of the
Alliance trade in North Carolina, offer
the following prizes:
First, To the Sub-Agent who buys
the greatest number of sewing machines
during this year, one Farmers Alliance
Sewing Machine.
Second. To the Sub Agent who buys
the next greatest number, one High
Arm Singer style Sewing Machine.
Third. To the Sub Agent who buys
the third greatest number, a No, 1 Boss
Washing Machine, or a set of No. 101
Single Buggy Harness, all delivered
freight paid at any railroad station in
North Carolina.
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, so that
We may report to factory. We will
furnish you with slips giving full de-
sCription and a cut of the machine.
About 1,600 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
stterWard 1t 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 a circular
recently sent out by Treasurer Worth
regarding pianos aud organs it is in
terred that agents may solicit as much
IS 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: II 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
u~taCturers or dealers outside the State;
who take orders and the instrument is
sold at the factory and shipped direct
F to the agent on each order, or di
rectly to the customer. Those who ex
change for organs or pianos, and trade
IN them, are clearly liable for the tax"
All 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
ey than the Alliance sewing machine
and it should go into every Alliance
home in the land where a sewing ma
chine is needed.
Who will be the successful contest
