HARDWOOD RECORD 



The "Tower" Pony Edger 



For portable and small stationary mills. Hundreds in use. Suitable 



for any mill having from 15 h.p. up. 

 Increases the output of the mill one-third. Grades the 

 lumber. Takes out hearts, shakes and knots, and makes 

 firsts and seconds out of commons. Saves considerable No. 

 1 lumber that is wasted when the edging is done on the 

 main saw. Gives the boards straight and parallel edges, and 

 makes them of standard or any desired widths. 



Rips a wide board into two or more narrower ones, either at the 

 same time that it edges it or afterwards, as may be preferred. 

 Causes the lumber to sell more readily and to command a higher price. 



Occupies little room. Requires only nominal power. Simple. 

 Easy to operate. Readily moved from one set to the next. 

 Does not get out of order. 



By far the best edger made. We manufacture 72 different sizes 

 and styles of Edgers and 10 sizes of Trimmers. We alsd make

GENTLE.MEN:— 



Answering your letter relative to the merits of your dry kiln 

 process, in comparison with that of the present kilns. 



Your process installed by us in an old rattle-trap of a kiln was 

 successful. We were much pleased with the results. 



In early part of 1909 our entire plant v\-as destroyed b.v fire. We 

 wrote you for plans for a new kiln. You were dilatory in getting 

 plans to us. We were persuaded by other kiln people to install 

 their process. 



Results; 



Present system with us is not a success. This system installed 

 in an entirely new. air-tight brick building, under what should be 

 very favoiable conditions, doesnotgive us results that we secured 

 with your system in the old rattle-trap kiln. 



In our judgment, resulting from our experience with the two 

 systems, they should not be mentioned in the same breath. 



Unless we can find some way of getting better than present 

 results from this system, we will be after you in a short time to 

 install your process on top of the same. ' 



Yours very truly, 



AIR LINE MFG, CO.,
