IngersolFs Hand Press. 



Daring many years' experience in the 

 sale of presses, we are fully convinced that 

 the INGERSOLL PRESSES will be found to 

 have overcome the great objections hereto- 

 fore existing against hand-power presses. 

 They combine a quick, convenient and ef- 

 fectual working power, and everything 

 liable to break has been done away with. 

 With a double ratchet wheel, combined 

 with a chain pulley and loose sheaves, a 

 two, three, or four-fold lifting chain power 

 is obtained, which, when acted on by only 

 one person, with a light lever only 5 or 6 

 feet long, will exert a force on a bale re- 

 ducing it to smaller dimensions than has 

 heretofore been accomplished.

The Petaluma Press. 



This is a small and compact 

 Press and makes a solid and neat 

 bale. It is built entirely of ash 

 and oak lumber, and has the im- 

 proved follower and top door fast- 

 ening, which allows of fast work 

 by the pressman. 



The door is held in place by a 

 lever until bale is finished. 



Its capacity is from 12 to 18 tons 

 per day, and it will give good sat- 

 isfaction in bailing hay for load- 

 ing on wagons, flat cars or boats, 

 as the bales weigh from 225 to 

 275 Ibs.
