The most perfect, substantial and economical Farmer's Sheller ev«r built; 



Bloomikqton, April 17th, 1860. 

 Mr. Tsgac P. Atwater : 



Sir :_In answer to your questions, I will state that sine* 10th NoTcmber last, I hare shelled with the McQUISTON TWO 

 nORSE POWEK ELEVATOR SHELLER, oyer 45,000 bushels of Corn, with less than |5 expense for repairs, and my machine 

 Is atill in good running order and will probably shell as much more. I have shelled, cleaned perfectly and sacked SO bushels 

 In one hour, and can do it any day with good corn. Would not sell my machine at any price, if I could not get another just 

 like it. Two light horses have done all this shelling and kept fat. I shell and car my own corn at an expense of one and a 

 half cents per bushel. Yours respectfully, WM. VREELAND, 



Corn Buyer, at C. A. A St. L. Depot. 



Mr. JOSEPH LTTDINOTON, Corn Buyer, etc., at Depot of Illinois Central Railroad, Bloomington, says : I have shelled 

 about 40,000 bushels since 20th November last, with about $3 expense for repairs, running every day now. Ilave timed it one 

 hour and shelled 75 bushels. Common average of evsry day is 50 bushels per hour. It is the most substantial, durable and 

 economical Corn Sheller I have ever seen. Don't think It can be equalled. 



Messrs. AUGLE A ALLER, of Bushnell, C, B. k Q. R. R., have shelled about 40.000 bushels since November last, 

 if achine still in good order and shelling every day. Repairs have been trifling. Sheller and Power considered unequalled. 

 Shells from 450 to 600 bushels per day, depending upon the quantity of corn got to it. Have never seen it fed as fast as it 

 would shell. 



Messrs. WYCKOFF A SHREVES, Bushnell, have shelled since November about 60,000 bushels ; expenses for repairs not 

 to exceed 15; is in tip top order now and shelling from .500 to 600 bushels per day. For economy and perfection of work, 

 have no idea it can be equalled. Have sold a number of machines in the neighborhood and never known one to be in any 

 way imperfect or incapable of giving the fullest satisfaction to the purchaser. 



Messrs. COLE A WEST, also of Bushnell, have shelled with their machine 60.000 bushels since last November, and it is now 

 running every day, and from appearances, will shell as much more without any but trifling expense for repairs. Never think 

 of having to stop for any break down or repairs whatever. Can shell, clean and bag just any quantity of corn the men wilt 

 put into it. 



Mr. TAYLOR, of Kewanee, has shelled 35,000 bushels since November. Don't think he has had any expense for repairs. 

 Has run a great many Corn Shellers, small and large, has never seen one before that he considered perfect in every respect. 

 Has never seen two men feed it to its capacity. Thinks it capable of shelling from 500 to 700 bushels per day, if rightly 

 managed. 



And I might go on multiplying reports similar to the above, until it would cost me about as much to get you to print it as the 

 profits on the 160 odd machines sold since last October would amount too. It will be understood that the above references are 

 to single machines, that is, one Sheller and its Two Horse Power ha-s done the work named. 



If there is any Corn Sheller in the State of Illinois, of any capacity, capable of doing as economical and perfect work, or 

 any Sheller of its capacity able to do as much work, with as little expense for repairs, I would like to hear of it. The parties 

 above named are all responsible gentlemen, who hare freely made these itatemeuti and volunteered their names as references.

PRINCIPAL OFFICE AT ALTON, ILL. 

 This company was chart-ered in 1639, and insures, at a 

 moderate cost, almost every species of proi)erty in Illinois 

 against Loss or Damage by Fire. The rates of risk ara so ar- 

 ranged that each class of property insured will support its own 

 loss. 



Every one insured becomes a meml)er — the Company be- 

 ing an association of customers — each of whom is concerned iu 

 insuring his neighbor. The capital augments in exact ratio 

 with the increase of risks; tlie security for which remains in 

 the hands of the insured; therefore, every member is the trea- 

 surer of his own money until the same is required for the pur- 

 pose of paying losses.
