THE IfQUISTON SHELLER AND HORSE POWER. 



MANUFACTURED BY J. C. CARR. 



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



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



Bloominoton, April 17th, 1860. 

 3fr. Isaac P. Atwater : 



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

 nORSE POWER ELEVATOR SlIELLER, over 45,000 bushels of Corn, with less than f 5 expense for repairs, and my 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 pood com. Would not sell my machine at any price. If I could not get anotherjust 

 like it. Two light horses have done all this slielUng 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, 



Com Buyer, at 0. A. & St. L. Depot. 



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

 about 40,000 bushels since 20th November last, with about $8 expense for repairs, running every day now. Have timed it one 

 hour and shelled 7^ 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 good order and fhelling every day. Repairs have been trifling. Sheller and Power considered unequalled. 

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

 would shell. 



Messrs. WYCKOFF A 8HREVES, Bushnell, have shelled since November about 60,000 bushels ; expenses for repairs not 

 to exceed f 5 ; is in tip top order now and shelling from 500 t-o 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 thrf purchaser. 



Messrs. COLE & WEST, also of Bushnell, have shelled with their machine CO. 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 will 

 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 mieht eo on miiltlitlytne reports similar to the above, nnttl It would cost me about as much to get you to print it as the 

 profits on the IfiO 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. 



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 have freely made these statements and volunteered their names as references.

IRON AMALGAM BELLS.— 

 We take pleasure In directing the attention of those In- 

 terested to the annexed PRICE LIST of our cheap and su- 

 perior Church, School, Steamboat and Farm Bells, which, it 

 will be observed, are offered at about one-third as much as 

 Is charged for those of like weights of brass composition, and 

 le.ss than half the price of steel. 



These Bells are manufactured from an Amalgam, contain- 

 ing a liberal proportion of iron, and which, while it is much 

 cheaper than the compositions heretofore employed for the 

 same purpose, yet seems to possess strength, durability, and 

 immunity from fracture during frosty weather, equal, if not 

 superior to the latter. 



Having had our sets of patterns renewed, and entirely re- 

 constructed after approved models, we feel assured of afford- 

 ing satisfaction In all cases where parties are pleased to favor 

 us with their orders.

PUBLIC NOTICE. 



IN COMBINATION WTIH A CORN 

 planting machine that Is constantly moved over the 

 ground (when planting,) and drops the grain intermittently, 

 the so combining of two slides, one of which is at or near the 

 seed hopper, and the other at or near the ground, or their 

 equivalents, with a lever, as that the operator or attendent on 

 the machine can open said slides at the proper time to deposit 

 the seed, and prepare a new charge, by the double droping 

 here In specified. 



Remarks. — It makes no difference how the mode of opera- 

 ation, as the patent is on the double drop, to compensate for 

 the forward motion of the machine. All those making, 

 selling or using will be made to pay for such infringement. 

 Yours respectfully, JARVIS CASE.
