ENGINES. 



\'es. wo build a few. We liave, in counectioii witli our 

 large l)ee-|ilaiit, a fli-st-class, well-equipiied macliiue-slioj), 

 in which we build all kinds of bee-hive marhinery, saw-uian- 

 drels, saw-tables, dovetailing-machiues, foundation-mills, 

 extractor-gearings, etc., and, when our men liave uotlung 

 else to do, engines. Tliese are upright in style, and econo- 

 mize floor space. They are built under the special supervi- 

 sion of an expert machinist of many years' experience. The 

 rods are all of flnislied steel. The cross-heads and slides are 

 of the substantial locomotive style. Tlie cylinders are 

 lagged with Russia iron, and are brass-Iaound. Tlie I)oxes 

 are babbitted, and can be easily taljen up for wear. Tlie 

 piston-head is provided with two exi)ansion- lings. The 

 bright parts shine like a dollar. The governor is a Waters, 

 substantial and reliable. We have three of these engines 

 running in our works. One has heen running two years, 

 with excellent results. Making them, as we do, during our 

 dull season, they are immeasurably superior to the ordinary 

 engines of their kind, and the price is low, considering the 

 very fine quality of the work. Price of the 3>^-horse-power 

 engine, governor and governor-belt, all ready to attach to a 

 boiler, 875; 5 h. p., $1U0; "I'A h. p., 13.i; 10 h. p., 81.50. These 

 prices are net, although we will make the usual discount for • 

 cash. If you want a thoroughly well-made engine, you can 

 not do better than to select one of these, providing the 

 range of power is within what you need. While we com- 

 pete in quality of workmanshij) we can not compete in ])rice 

 with some of the cheap engines on the market.

CAMERAS CHEAP. 



By the death of a relative, as explained in anoth- 

 er column, I have come in iiossession of two very 

 fine photographic cameras. One of them is a 

 Hawkeye, 4x5, with a jointed tripod. It has three 

 dry-plate holders, and three cut-film liolders. Be- 

 sides this, it has a lens that cost uriginallj- 835.00. 

 with a triplex Prosch pneumatic shutter worth 810 

 more. The whole outfit cost oi-iginally about 875. 

 The camera-box has been newly finished, and looks 

 like a brand-new instrument. It will also take a 

 roll-holder when desired. I will place my guarantee 

 upon the instrument as being first-class in every 

 I'espect. It has a far better lens than the average 

 Hawkeye camera. Samples of the work will be 

 mailed tipon application. Desiring to give imme- 

 diate returns to the family of the deceased, I offer 

 this camera for $35 cash. It is a bargain for some 

 one who desires something really fine in this line. 

 Speak quick if you want it, as it will probably be 

 snapped up. I would, under lu) circumstances, let 

 it go; but, as I have already said, I have two or 

 three other good cameras of my own. 



A 5x8 PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA CHEAP. 



From the same source I also Iiavea5.\8 sliding- 

 front swing-back revol\-iiig-back camera. It has 

 no lens. It lias three dry-plate holders, tripod, car- 

 rying-case, and focusing-cloth. Its original cost 

 was about 825. As it is second-hand, I will disjiose 

 of it for an even 810. A good lens for it can be 

 bought for about 84..50; or for 814.50 1 will include 

 the lens. E. R. ROOT, Medina, O.
