Their improved STEAM ENGINES, Portable and Fixed, for durability, efficiency, strength, and small consumption of coal, are not equalled by any other manufacturers. Fixed Engines of all sizes, and Steam Mills fitted up complete, of the most approved arrangement and best construction, whereby considerable saving of fuel is effected, and durability and efficiency increased. Twelve-Horse Engines doing full duty, with from six to seven cwts. of Coal per day. The COMBINED PORTABLE THRASHING MACHINE has had much of their attention since being awarded the First Prize Medal for Thrashing Machines at the Great Exhibition, 1851, and they can confidently guarantee them to be the simplest and most expeditious, making the most perfect separation of Corn, Chaff, Colder, and Straw, each being delivered at the most convenient places to take away. They are extremely portable and durable; and are mounted on high wooden carriage wheels. They would also call attention to their PRIZE CLOVER SHELLER, also adapted for Trefoil; and their WINNOWING and DRESSING MACHINES, of which more than 3,000 have been sent out; their CIRCULAR SAW TABLES, of improved construction; and other improved implements, which, with prices, will be found in Catalogues, sent free by post on application. H. & SONS, in soliciting a continuance of an extended patronage, beg to state that they have now every facility for executing orders with dispatch, and by the use of the best mechanical tools, in the very best style of workmanship. The greatest care and attention will continue to be used by them in the selection of the very best description of material, and they feel confident their present success is attributable to their attention to this most important point. * * * * * [Picture: Mechanical sawing machine] AS AT WORK At the Norfolk Agricultural Society’s Meeting at Swaffham, June, 1857; HOLMES AND SONS’ Improved Self-Acting Circular Saw Table was the only one Commended by the Judges.
