DAVIS BROS., Box 166., Selma, Gal. 



Reference, Judge Fowler, Selma, Cal. This is an 

 irrigated district, and a complete failure is un- 

 known. This climate is splendid for those suffei-- 

 ing with lung complaints. Inclose stamp. Also a 

 small farm for sale. 



FOR SALE. 



One second-hand fdn. mill that will roll sheets 14 

 inches wide. The mill is at present in New Ham- 

 burg, Ont., Can. The original price on it was $40.00, 

 but we will now sell it at half price, or $20.00. 



Also one exactly like it, owned by W. W. Bliss, of 

 Duarte, Los Angeles Co., Cal. There is nothing 

 wrong with these mills, except that the rolls are of 

 smaller diameter than those we now make, in con- 

 sequence of Avhich they do not make quite so thin 

 fdn. right in the middle of the rolls as those made 

 now with rolls of a larger diameter. They will, how- 

 ever, ToU narrew sheets equal to any, and will roll 

 sheets a foot wide; but when of so great a width, 

 the center is a tritle thicker, as explained above. 



Also one 9-inch Dunham mill, second hand. The 

 mill has. however, been completely fitted up, paint- 

 ed, and varnished, and is, to all appearances, both 

 in looks and quality of work, equal to a new one. 

 Price «20.00. The list price of a new mill of this 

 kind is $40.00. 



Also two 10-inch mills of our own make, that were 

 taken from parties who were wanting mills of long- 

 er rolls. These have been finished, and we pro- 

 nounce them in every respect almost as good as 

 new. Price $1.5.00 each. 



Also one 10-inch mill, Olm make, fixed over so as 

 to do about as good work as it ever did. Price 

 $12.00. A. 1. ROOT, Medina, O.
