INTRODUCTORY.
We present our customers and those whose names have been given us with
our descriptive pamphlet for 1872.
Having now been established over thirty-five years in the construction
of machinery in this particular line, and knowing most of the old and
new improvements which have been a success and those which have failed,
we are offering, after almost a constant course of labor, mill machinery
of undoubted superior qualities. And now we invite the attention of
those interested to the articles of our designing and make, fully
believing a careful investigation and comparison with the work of any
manufacturer will convince them of its excellence. Our work being
represented in OVER ONE THOUSAND FLOURING MILLS is some evidence of its
practical merits. NO EXPERIMENTS, BUT GET THE BEST. We have files of
letters and statements that tell of the costly experiences of those
having bought new and untried machinery.
The mill of to-day of whatever dimensions must be simple, compact,
efficient, durable and cheap.
THE FOLLOWING POINTS
have claimed our special study to obtain the best results in the
different locations, and purposes required.
1st. The best wheat scouring and separating machinery.
2d. The quality of burr stones required, best speed, draft and form of
furrows, and best mode of driving them.
3d. Numbers of cloth, amount of bolting surface required, best
arrangement of numbers, &c.
4th. Propriety of regrinding, how best to grade the offal for this
purpose, as well as other requirements of flour mills.
COMBINED HUSKS
with two to four run of stones varying from two to four feet diameter,
and all in one substantial frame, spindles being long and arranged for
the gearing and lower part of husk to be in the basement of the
mill-house on an independent foundation, are made complete in our works,
carefully put up and adjusted, marked, taken apart, small pieces boxed
and otherwise prepared for shipment and ease of putting up. This plan
was first adopted by us in the year 1867; since that time we have put
out considerably over one hundred run of stone on this plan, all
receiving the highest commendations of the owners.
