THE NEW ALDEN MODEL EVAPORATOR 



Recommends the AKlen Process freshly, and more forcibly than ever, to (arm- 

 ing, fruit growing and investing interests. 



Those who now engage in the business of Pneumatic P'vaporalion will en- 

 joy the advantage of a saving of sixty per cent, on the former cost of the 

 Evaporating Apparatus, and will be able to carry on the manufacture at a cur- 

 rent expense of only about two-thirds as great as heretofore, in consequence of 

 the great simplification which has been attained as the result of last year's ex- 

 tensive experience. We are now, therefore, enabled to offer for $1,000 our 

 new Model Evaporator, which has all the recent improvements, and is better 

 adapted to the use of individuals and communities than the old model, which 

 could only be made and operated at a cost which placed it beyond the reach of 

 those of moderate means. 



DESCRIPTION OF ALDEN'S PNEUMATIC EVAPORATOR. 



The apparatus used is so completely adapted to its purposes, and such com- 

 plete directions are given for its operation, that it can be properly used by any 

 one of ordinary capacity, and unskilled, and otherwise unavailable labor (that 

 of boys and girls), is advantageously employed. Fruits and vegetables can be 

 bought, evaporated, and prepared for market the same day. The improved 

 machineiy for preparing (peeling, slicing, etc.) has proved to be perfecdy 

 adapted to its uses, and there is now no difficulty in producing such cleanlv cut, 

 unbruised fruits as are required in oriler to manufacture first-class evaporated 

 articles. 



This promises a revolution in agriculture and commerce. Succulent crops 

 of all kinds, though worth, where marketable, four or five times the product of 

 the same acres in cereals, have hitherto been worthless, on a large scale, at a 

 little distance from city markets. Their tenderness and bulkiness forbade trans- 

 portation to a distant market, and thus agriculture has beeia generally confined 

 to a few hardy staples, affording but a meagre profit. Now, however, these 

 richest of crops (the succulent) are to be also the safest and cheapest to market. 

 A thousand dollars ivorth of apples, peaches, to?natoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, or 

 anything else of the sort, will not only come from onefourth the acres reqtdrcd for 

 one thousand dollars worth ofivheat, or any other of the present agricultural staples, 

 but will go into onefourth the barrels, and will go to any port on the globe for one- 

 fourth the freight. 



The inventor of the Alden Processes expects, not witliout reason, to see agri- 

 culture rai.sed, by his agency, from one of the worst paid pursuits of men, to 

 one of the most lucrative. The means of doing this, demand the urgent atten- 

 tion of every farmer, and of every (l;rming community 



THE PHILOSOPHY OF FRUIT DRYING. 



To dr}' fruit so as to make it keep is the entire idea of many persons. Dried 

 fruit is dried fruit to them, and there are consumers ju.st like them, and hence
