WOODWORKING MACHINES 



Could not be built better, no matter how much time was spent 

 in their perfection. No better material could be used in their 

 construction, for we buy the best the market affords. Skilled 

 labor of the highest grade and cost is employed to complete 

 their absolute perfection. 



THE RIGHT VISIBLE EXPRESSION 



In the finished product of our tools is always of the most 

 satisfactory nature. Possessed of all the positive qualities of 

 extreme intrinsic value, their superiority and distinctive ad- 

 vantages cannot in any way solicit a comparison. 



They are a necessary and indespensable means for the up- 

 building of every organization and serve as the practical 

 means for increased efficiency. Let us get in touch with you 

 by your request for our new No. 200 Catalog. It's well worth 

 your time.

Elmes' Presses are Better 



DONE IN A MINUTE 



ASK FOR Elmes' latest in hydraulic veneer presses, 

 pumps and retaiiiers — a labor saver, highest in pro- 

 duction and quality. You can get full pressure in 

 less than one minute, and in less than one-quarter minute 

 you can be back in position ready for another pressing. 



Press and pump self-contained (with or without motor) 

 with tank, valve, gauge, and all fixtures attached and 

 mounted on top of press. 



The base and platen are extra heav}- and planed smooth. 

 The piston and cylinder are of semi-steel and the piston 

 is water-ground. 



Pump frame, base and guide for plunger are cast in one 

 piece, making the pump rigid and comparatively inde- 

 structible. 



Four-way valve of bronze, operated with one handle. 



No low pressure pump is required, as cylinder is filled 

 automatically. 



The pumps and manifold are of bronze, and plungers are 

 made of tool steel, hardened and ground. The crank shaft 

 and eccentric are made in one piece, extra heavy. Eccentric 

 straps are babbitted and bored. 



Our retainer rods have the best quick release. They 

 can be tightened or released without the use of a wrench, 

 and without fear of breakage. 



With one press you can easily handle 100 packages 

 a day. 



A comparison will convince you that Elnies' presses are 



better. 



50 years' experience in hydraulic press building.
