_Gentlemen_:--The mills purchased of you last May, set up and started by
David Carey, have given entire satisfaction. Our mill consists of two
run of 30-inch upper-runner burrs, pulley mills--one for corn and one
for wheat--can grind from seven to ten bushels of wheat into the best
merchantable flour, and from ten to fifteen bushels of corn into fine
meal, per hour on each burr. Our bolt is sufficient to bolt the above
amount, and performs well. Our mills and machinery is driven by an
engine, 8 by 16-inch cylinder, and runs 170 revolutions to the minute.
We can run the entire machinery ten hours on three-fourths of a cord of
wood, have been running almost every day since we started up. Our custom
is still on the increase, extending over a great amount of country. We
run now every day, while other mills in town and immediate vicinity do
not run now to exceed two days in the week. Your mill and bolt
arrangement is the only thing suitable for custom, and does well for
merchant work. We would recommend persons who think of buying mills, to
give you a call--or if we purchase again we will do so. We will take
pleasure in showing any one our mill.
Yours, respectfully,
CAREY & ROBERTS.
Lay by Your Old Notions.--36 inch and 30 inch Pulley Mills.
CUMBERLAND, Guernsey Co., O., Feb. 14, 1870.
NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--
_Sirs_:--We have used your mills since the 4th of last November. We
consider them durable as any mills can be. We can grind on our 36-inch
wheat mill from fifteen to twenty bushels per hour, owing to the grain,
and can make flour that will satisfy any community, both in regard to
quality and quantity. On our 30-inch corn mill, we can grind forty
bushels per hour, if the corn is dry. Our miller says he can make forty
barrels of XX family flour in ten hours. We have a twenty-five horse
power engine. Our boiler is twenty-two feet long, for two inches in
diameter, and two flues. It affords enough power, under seventy pounds
pressure, to drive both mills together with their attendant machinery,
which is one of your twenty-two foot Flour Bolts, No. 1 Richmond Smut
Machines, Buckwheat Bolts, Elevators, Shafting, &c. Three bushels of
coal per hour is all we require. To those wishing mills we would just
say they had better lay by their old notions and procure improved mills.
Yours, &c.,
HOWELL BROTHERS.
Mill and Bolt Cannot be Beat.
HAMBURG, Fremont Co., Iowa, Jan. 11, 1869.
MESSRS. NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.:--
_Dear Sirs_:--I have had one of your 36-inch Pulley Mills and 18 feet
Bolt in operation nearly one year. I like it very much; my flour gives
general satisfaction; am averaging ten bushels of wheat per hour on the
one pair of burrs, making the best flour. In short, I think your Mill
and Bolt cannot be beat. It is driven by one of Leffel’ 20-inch Double
Turbine Wheels, under a total head and fall of 11 feet 9 inches.
Yours, respectfully,
H. LAMB.
