COX & KOBEUTJ^' PATEJIT THKE8HEK AND CLEAi^EK. 



These Machines thresh and clean the Grain ready for market, without waste, in a manner superior to any other machine now in use. They have been thoroughly tested for a number of years 

 past, several hundred having been made and sold by us, giving the most entire satisfaction. They are the most simple and easily managed machine now in use, and dcrable in their con- 

 struction, requiring less power and thresh faster than any other Thrasher and Cleaner in the United States. At a trial of Machines at the Fair of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechani- 

 cal Association in 1S58, our Machine with/our hornex, threshed and cleaned moie wheat, in better style, in a given time, than any four or tighthorne macMne on the ground, and receiv- 

 ed the FIRST premium, and a the late great Fair of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association, in 1859, our Machines received the fihst premium for best four horse and best eight 

 horse Thresher and Cleaner. 



The Grand Gold Medal of Honor was awarded to our Lever Cabin Power at the same Fair, both In 1S58 andlS59; they are an improvement on any now in use, being very portable and 

 durable. 



Having largely increased our facilities for manufacturing these machines to meet the increased demand, and with improvements that hare been added from year to year, as experience stig- 

 gests, we are determined the workmanship and materials shall not be excelled by any establishjnent in tke Union. 



The Machine with four or six horse Lever Cabin Power is the leading machine for general use, being more extensively used than any other; they can be ordered on wheels or without as de- 

 sired. _ The eight horse does a larger business, and is always sold on wheels, with Elevator and Straw Carrier attached. The macliine with two horse Lever Cabin Power is intended for farmers 

 who wish a small and less expensive machine to thresh and clean for themselves; it is a splendid Thresher, and does its work as well as the large ones. 



Orders respectfully solicited. All further information desired cheerfully given.

THE MQUISTON SHELLER AND HO BSE POWER. 



MANUFACTURED BY J. C. CARR. 



For particulars address ISAAC P. ATWATER, Morris, Grundy County, Illinois. 



The most perfect, substantial and economical Farmer's Sheller ever built. 



■ .- Bloominqtos, April 17th, 1860. 

 3fr. fssnc P. Atwater : 



Sir : — In answer to your questions, I will state that since 10th November last, I have shelled with the McQUISTON TWO 

 HORSE POWER ELEVATOR SHELLER, over 45,000 bushels of Corn, with less than f 5 expense for repairs, andmy machine 

 is still in good running order and will probably shell as much more. I have shelled, cleaned perfectly and sacked 80 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 cariny own corn at an expense of one and a 

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



Com Buyer, at C. A. & St. L. Depot. 



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

 about 40,000 bushels since 20th November last, with about f 5 expense for repairs, running every day now. Have timed it one 

 hour and shelled To bushels. Common average of every 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 & ALLER, of Bushnell, C, B. & Q. R. R., have shelled about 40.000 bushels since November last. 

 Machine Still in pood order and ^hl'lling every day. Repairs have been trifling. Sheller and Power considered unequalled. 



; Shells from 4oU to 600 bushels per day, depending upon the quantity of corn got to it. Have never seen it fed as fast as it 



I would shell. 



I Messrs. WYCKOFP & SHREVES, Bushnell, have shelled since November about 50,000 bushels ; expenses for repairs not 

 j to exceed ^5; is in tip top order now and shelling from 500 to 600 bushels per day. For economy and perfection of work, 

 I 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. 



Slessrs. COLE & WEST, also of Bushnell, have shelled with theirmachine 60.000 bushels since last November, and it is now 

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

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

 ; put into it. 



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

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

 1 Has never seen two men feed it to its capacity. Thinks it capable of shelling from 500 to 7uO bushels per day, if rightly 

 I managed. ■ • u 



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 100 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 has done the work named. 



I If there is any Corn Sheller in the State of Illinois, of any capacity, capaljle 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 responsiljle gentlemen, who have freely made these statements and volunteered their names as references.
