Vacuum Cotton Pcklng Machne Co manufacturing principle by Vacuum owned by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-10-31

 the Vacuum Cotton Picking Machine Co. The entire principle involved and the appliances are fully covered. It is the only Vacuum Cotton Picking Machine. It is the only Cotton Pick ing Machine to stand the test.
 See what it did in the long "Flsro- dora" Cotton at the test at Pine Bluff, Ark, and this too when the machine had Just gone through wrecki Since then 1t has been given other strenuous tests. in the low, small cotton of Arkansas and in Louisiana.
 It has stood every test. Different styles and types of machines will be built to meet every demand all based on the Thurman system prin- cfples, ranging from s1.6O0 up in price, and to do the work of 14 to SC men.
 In this advertisement are repro duced 8 number of newspaper com ments, in every case unbiased opin- ions of people who have viewed the machine in its operation. In the prospectus, which can be obtained by writing me, arc reproduced num- Der of letters. one from the Cover nor of a leading cotton-growing State, and others from cotton grow CTS interested in cotton production.
 There is no hesitancy in any of the inducements about stating that the Thurman Vacuum Cotton Picking Machine is all that we have claimed for 1t; a successful Cotton Picking Macri-e destined to revolutaonize cotton harvesting.
 This is the last call for those who wish to participate in the profits of the manufacture and sale of these machines.
 By next spring we expect to have in operation the new plant with its army of laborsrs erected in some Southern city. With the erection of this plant and with capital enough to operate 1t. there will be no moro stock for sale. The people will own it and get the benefits which. as Prof. Burk4tt says, must go into the st or combine. With new plant and co of the machines can be so reduced -R Ix~4 ft.o

 A most successful and satisfactory lest wac given yesterday morning on the Barrow plantation by the opera tors sf the new Vacuum cotton pick ing machine, which was brought here from St. Louis to give the planters of this section a practical demon stratfon of the workings of the mechanical device
 Many interested persons. including planters from all partsof the county were present at the exhibition. Only one man was used to operate the big machine, and only one side Of 1t was operated. The suction nozzle on the machine picked cotton and picked 1t clean, leaving the bare stalk stand ing in the ground The exhibition continued for more than two hours. and much cotton was picked. although it was not the intention Of the operators to make record as to the amount of ooffnn gathered from the field Various tooh were tried on the machine. which took up much of the tina.
