Exposition Cotton Mills,
Atlanta. Ca, Nov. Z, 1899.

Atlanta, Ca. Nov. Z, 1879
Gentlemen: We had the pleasure of
seeing your Murray Ginning and Cleaning
System at work during the Georgia State
Fair held here recently, and can say
the cleaning attachment discharged dirt
and leaf in continuous stream, while
ginning was going on, and the staple
was %left in good condition. We have
purchased nineteen bales of cotton which
passed through your gin, and find it clean
stock and in good condition for spin
ming. In our opinion, there is going to be
more difference made between badly
handled and clean cotton than heretofore
We noted there was little or no dirt
or sand that went to the gins, which
would result in quite saving to manu-
facturers.
We made comparison of the nineteen
bales purchased from you, with other cot
ton we had on hand and found yours to
contain less sand and dirt.
Yurs truly,
Exposition Cotton Mills.
j. D. TURNER. President.

COMBINATIONS CAN'T COMBINE OUT
SIDE INVENTORS.

The days of the single gin with no
system of unloading is numbered. The
man who puts up a modern up-to-date
ginnery which will gin the cotton direct
from the wagon viii surely get the bust
ness. If he buys the best no competitor
can come in later and take away his
business. Outfits which do not include
the Murray Cleaning Feeder cannot be
considered among the better class They
may have been so considered some years
ago. but must now take back seat, and
like old men, they can only glcry

OUR STANDARD GIN HOUSE CON
STRUCTION

The cut on this page represents our
standard gin house construction. Moth
ing could be simpler. The cotton is taken
from the wagon as it is needed for the
gins. There is no overflow, and no cotton
lying around on the floor, which greatly
increases the fire risk There are no dis
tributor belts and spikes. 1t is the
pneumatic system The fan and auto
matte valve do the business.

IMPROVEMENTS NOT IN THE GIN IT
SELF.

All our improvements relate to hand
ling and cleaning the cotton before and
after ginning No change has been made
in the gin itself-a machine with saws
and ribs and a brush to take the lint
cotton off the saws. A dozen different
factories make gins, and they are all
now more or less alike. Originally there
was some difference. but the patents
have all expired, and the desirable fea-
lures which one or two had have become
common property. The main question to
be considered about the gin is to be as
sured that it is well made good material
and workmanship.

ENGINES, BOILERS, SAW MILLS, Pull

So much has been said in this adyer-
tisement about gin machinery that the
reader may think that's all we make
Far from it. We build more steam en-
gines than any factory in the South The
country is full of our saw mills We sold
a hundred last year. We turn out shaft
ing by the mile, and plleys and hangers.
Some of the best cotton mills in the
country are equipped with our power

WHAT THE WONDERFUL MURRAY
FEEDER DOES.
MURRAY

I'll cotton gins must have feeders. Cot
ton ought to be cleaned before it enters
the gins If ginner could find feeder,
which, while feeding the cotton to the
gins, also cleans it better than any sin
gle device invented, wouldn't it be a good
thing? Well, we have the thing In the
first place, there isn't any better feeder.

ELEVATOR ANIL CLEANER AND OLD
GINS.

We make the machinery that goes into
our complete outfits all in Charlotte. The
engine (plain slide valve or automatic)
the elevator, the pulleys and shafting
and hangers, and the press, of course.
We can put the elevator and improved
feeders on old gins, and if not too far
gone they will produce a far better sam
pie than when they were new We can
fit our elevator to any make of gins, but
we send our systems out with the Eagle
gin We can fit them out with Hall gins,
il desired.

WORD ABOUT TESTIMONIALS.

We quit printing so-called testimonials
a long time ago. Occasionally, however,
when pointed fact is clearly stated
by responsible business man, of his
own volition, the publication of such state
ment, really aids an honest investigator.
We print only few.

IT'S MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

The cleanest cotton can be made
cleaner Inferior grades, on which the
farmer loses from one to three cents per
pound, can be raised several grades. Our
system takes out the dust which discol-
ors and the leaf trash which discredits
our cotton in the markets of the world

WORTH ONE QUARTER CENT MORE
TO A COTTON MILL.
Catawba Electric Power Co.,
Mountain Island Mills.)

Mountain Island, n c., Nov p, 1899.
Gentlemen; In reply to yours of the
18th inst. have to say that we are very
much pleased with the operation of your
Ginning System, with Murray Cleaning
Feeders. l am of the opinion that no
ginnery in our section compares with
ours in the item of cleaning cotton. We
had no idea that there could be as much
dirt in bale of cotton as the Murray
System, including the Murray Cleaning
Feeders, takes out. In fact, we consider
cotton ginned on this system worth Ac
per pound more to cotton mill than
on any system we have seen.
Yours truly,
w. T. JORDAN, Manager

in the past and boast of what they have
been The world does not look to such
as these for advancing its best interest.
They die hard, of course, and get togeth
err in one big combine to kill opposition
and finally control the business This
might have been possible, but they
couldn't kill the inventors of methods
which are better than theirs.

In the second place, there isn't any bet
ter cleaner In the third place, there
isn't any more machinery to it than in
an old style feeder. In the fourth place,
it costs very little more. 1t is the Muir
ray Cleaning Feeder. 1t is the inyen-
ton of the same Murray who revolution
lied the handling OF cotton by the inven-
tion of the Murray Pneumatic Elevator
and Distributor. The feeder fits right
in with this, and gives a perfect system.
But the Murray Cleaning Feeders can be
used without the elevator over any gin.
1t is driven with a belt like any other
feeder, either from the gin shaft or the
line shaft.

right here in North Carolina, and we have
never yet asked man to buy from US
because we were home industry" but
we have saved our customers many dol

near enough to be easily reached and
