A COMPLETE GBIST MILL FOE $20. 



THE TOM THUMB GRIST MILL. 



THIS mill has been well tested, and its qualities are fully estab- 

 lished. It is now offered to the public as the latest improved 

 and best cast iron mill in use. Its coaslruelion is entirely simple, 

 requiring no skill in mechanism, or in the art of grinding to ope- 

 rate it. 



It is furnished with an ingenious device for regulating the feed, 

 which is placed within the throat of the mill. This invention 

 supplies the place of the cumbersome and vexatious ratile/staff 

 antl skofi, performing conveniently all the offices of both. 



The axis of the mill is horizontal, and it is arranged to be run 

 ■with a belt from a horse-power, or any ordinary motor. 



It may be run with a two horse-power, up to a speed of two 

 hundred and fifty revolutions per minute, or it may be operated 

 with proportionally increased results, for every increment of 

 povrfer and speed, up to four or more horse-power, and four or six 

 hundred revolutions per minute. 

 C>s. The mill is warranted to perform as stated. 

 The following letter is from a responsible gentleman, who is 

 using one of the mills : 



Menbota, Illinois, February 14th, 1859. 

 Messrs. Hedges, Free & Co.— 6-'(=7i?.s ;— The little Tom Thumb 

 Grist mill you sent me, is the best thing of the kind in use. We 

 have ground corn, oats, barley, Hungarian grass-seed, and buck- 

 wheat. It works equally well with each. We ground six bushels 

 per hour, and are confident that we can put eight bushels of dry 

 corn through, and then make as good meal as can be made with 

 burrs. Warren Clabk, Sec. of the Eagle Co.

rail or express, 140 lbs.
