LOCATED AT ALTON ILLINOIS. 



CHARTERED FEB. 23, 1839. ORGANIZED APRIL 4. 1830. 



Amount of premium notes in force February 



1st, 1856, constituting a fund for the 



•payment of Losses, 



80 0,000.0 0, 



Secured by a lien on property insured, valued 

 at over 



9.000.000! 



THIS company insures dwellingSjStores, warehouses, manu- 

 factories, mills, barns, stabler and the contents of each, 

 together with every other similar species of property within 

 the State, from 



LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIREl 



The Directors feel justified in recommending this company to 

 the favorable consideration of the citizens of Illinois. Every 

 one insured becomes a member, the company being an as- 

 sociation of customers — eacli of wliom is concerned in in- 

 suring his neighbor. As the indemnification fund augments 

 in exact ratio witli tho incre.iso of risks, tho capital of the 

 company it comparatively exiiaustlcss; and tho entire safety 

 of the iustitution must bo apparent to every one who roads 

 the charter. 



The cost of insuring in this company is so low, as to render 

 it almost inexcusable for the owners of iusurablo property 

 not to avail themselves of its protection.

TirE DELIVER THIS MILL AT ANY 



f T point, or from our wagons, that run through the dif- 

 ferent parts of tho country, at the manufacturer's retail price, 

 which is, for the mill complete, $60. 



Orders, or letters of inquiry should he addressed to 



HUNT, PYKK 4 Co., Springfield, 111. 



Wo need hut say that where the Star Mill lias been used, it 

 has gained credit bej'ond ail other Mills iiow in use; and the 

 farmer only needs to see and try it in order to become con- 

 vinced that it is perfect in its arrangement from the fact that 

 it grinds green hs well as old corn, (corn and cob passing 

 through it together,) which noother,Mill will do. Farmers 

 and stock-growers can save from 30 to 40 bushels of corn in 

 each 100 by tlie use of this Mill; (at least wo have certificates 

 to that effect.) Persons having once experienced its benefit, 

 will never return to tho wasteful practice of feeding corn in 

 the ear. 



It will undoubtedly make good meal of shelled corn for fam- 

 ily use. 



The Mill grinds from twelve to twenty bushels per hour, 

 and makes an easy draft for two horses. 



We can produce first premiums, diplomas, and recommen- 

 dations too numerous to mention. 



For full particulars, references and description of Mills, see 

 circulars.

 see one in operation by calling at the Agricultural Store of

UHLER'S PLOWS 



The Double Curved Vprlglit Steel Mould 

 Board Plow. 



THE PROPRIETOR OF THIS SUPERIOR 

 Plow still continues to supply." 

 the great demand which its merits have 

 created. Its combination of rare ad- 

 vantages has recommended it to the 

 agricultural community throughout the State of Illinois, it 

 is now admitted that it has no equal. 



The following note is but one of the many testimonials 

 which have been furnished the mauafacturer of the working 

 of his plows. 



We certify that we have latelyused the above plows, manu- 

 factured by Mr. John Uhler, and we would state that they 

 are in all respects, superior to any other plows we have ever 

 used. M'o cheerfully recommend them to the public.

Sangamon county, Jan 1", 1855. 

 '^^ From the peculiar form of Uhler's plows they are not ex- 

 celled by any other now in use. It scours very bright, sheds 

 off stubbles admirably, and runs light and easy to the team. 

 The largest sized two-horse plow of this kind, has been used 

 several seasons successfully in breaking prairie. The limits 

 of a newspaper advertisement will not admit of an accurate 

 description of these plows. To see them is tobe pleased with 

 thorn. 



In addition to the above, tho manufacturer ig making 

 wrought iron upright ones, and two-horse plows. 



Also, a superior Prairie Plow, warranted to be equal to any 

 prairie plow now in use. Any size that may be wanted can 

 be bad at .short notics. A large number of all sizes, kept on 

 hand constantly. 



Manufactured by JOHN UIILER, 



Springlield, 111., at whose establishment these favorite plows 

 can bu hail, from a single one to a number unlimited.
