 THE subscribers are this season enabled to oflFer to Farm- 

 ers, a new and most valuable and useful Machine. The 

 siioces'^riil odmbination of a WINNOWER with our Over- 

 shut 'llirrjher proves another of its great advantages. The 

 WinIl(^^v^>r is attached with much less Geering than in the 

 I'udtrshot Machines, rendering it much more durable and 

 oi>iii|)a(t. and more easily propelled. It has now been fair- 

 ly tcsic d, (a large number having been in constant use du- 

 ring tlie past Threshing season,) and has already in some 

 instances superceded the most approved of the other kinds 

 of Winnowers, the owners of which have thrown them 

 aside afier a thorough trial of ours. We have numerous 

 commendatory letters from gentlemen who have purchased 

 and used our Winnower, and we give extracts from a few 

 of them. 

 Ejctract from a Letter of Wm. Osboen, Esq., of Water- 



ville, N. Y. 

 Messrs. Wheelek, Melick & Co. — Gentlemen: — My Uncle 

 wishes me to say to you that his Winnower more than an- 

 swered his expectations. My own opinion may be gather- 

 ed from the fact that I want one as soon as you can forward 

 it. It is unquestionably the most perfect thing ever got up 

 forXliri'shing and Cleaning. I have considerable acquain- 

 tance with labor-saving Agricultural Machines, and I never 

 yet saw anything which for its simplicity and perfect adap- 

 tation to the wants of Farmers, compared with your Ma- 

 chine. 



■ From E. Feench, Esq., Bridgeport, N. T. 

 ^ssKs. Wheeler, Melick & Co. — Oentlemen: — If you 

 cmrid see the admiration your Winnower receives from all, 

 yoH could not help feeling proud of it. You may expect 

 several orders from here next season. My neighbors are 

 scrambling for their turn to have me do their threshing, but 

 will not employ other machines although they go about 

 begging for work. 



From J. Glendenning, Esq., Newport, R. I. 

 Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co. — Gentlemen: — I am 

 pleased to say that the Thresher and Winnower exceed my 

 most sanguine expectations. I can get through 350 to 400 

 bushels of Oats per day. 



From. 11. J. Cbeweh, Esq., Cohimhia, N'. T. 

 Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co. — Gentlemen: — The 

 Thresher and Winnower you sent proves to be beyond my 

 expectations. I have the pleasure of writing to you for one 

 more, if you can furnish it within the next .3 or 4 weeks. 



We might add many more equally flattering testimonials. 



Price of Double Power with Thresher and Win- 

 nower, $225 



The superiority of WHEELER'S PATENT RAILWAY 

 CHAIN HORSE POWER, and OVERSHOT THRESH- 

 ER and SEPAKATDR is imiversally acknowledged wher- 

 ever they have been tested. Thousands of them are in use, 

 many of which have threshed from 50,000 to 100,000 bushels 



of grain, and are still in good ^.ondition. They are beyond 

 doubt the most durable and economical machine iu use. — 

 Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as well at 

 the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs, as on several pri- 

 vate occasions, in competition with another Machine made 

 in this city which has been advertised to be far superior to 

 ours, and in every instance the result has been about onc- 

 tliird, and in some instances more, in favor of our Machines. 

 In' cverj' case except one where we have submitted our 

 Machine to a worHnQ test at Fairs, it has taken the highest 

 premiums, and in that excepted case the Committee deci- 

 ded that our machine performed its work in b minutes ami 

 its competitor in 11?^ minutes, being nearly one-third in fa- 

 vor of ours. 



We have also exhibited ours in competition with the same 

 machine at the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsyl- 

 vania and also at the Provincial Fair of Upper Canada, at 

 all of which we received the highest premiums, viz.: In 

 Ohio, a Silver Medal and Diploma; in Michigan, $20; in 

 Pennsylvania, $10 ; and in Canada, a Diploma" 



We have numerous similar testimonials from County Socie- 

 ties, where we have always received the highest premiums 

 awarded to Chain Powers. 

 Price of One Horse Power, Thresher, Separator and 



Belting $120 



Two Horse Do., 145 



Besides the above, we manufacture and keep constantly 

 on hand among other articles, Clover Hullers Straw and 

 Stalk Cutters, Portable Saw Mills, (adapted to Horse Pow- 

 ers,) and Single Powers with Chum Geer attached. These 

 last are extensively used in large Dairies, and are so ar- 

 ranged that the Power is used at pleasure for either thresh- 

 ing, churning, wood sawing, or other purposes. 



^^W" All machines made and sold by us are icarratited 

 to give satisfaction or they may be returned, after a reason- 

 able time for trial. 



Orders are solicited and will be promptlv flUed.
