MODERN MACHINERY. 



THIS 



Until recently there was no good coffee-roaster in the 

 market for the use of the retail grocers and the retail 

 coffee merchants. A great many retailers have tried to 

 roast their own coffee, but without success, in cheap 

 roasters resembling ovens which are found in the 

 market. The result of their doing so is that they have 

 only been able to offer to their customers a very uneven 

 and poorly-roasted coffee, some beans being properly 

 roasted and others not. The accompanying picture 

 illustrates a machine in which they can roast their own 

 coffee as well as the large manufacturers clo in the large 

 roasters. It will be observed that in design it is similar 

 to the large roaster used by the wholesale manufacturers.
