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



Bloomisgtox, April 17th, ISGO. 

 Mr. Insao P. AUcnter : 



Sib :— In answerto vour qncsfions, I will state that since 10th November last, I have shelled with tlie ^McQI'ISTON TWO 

 HORSE POWER ELEVATOR SIIELLF.R, over 4f),il00 bushels of Corn, with less than iJ5 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 .^0 bushels 

 In one hour, andean do it any day with good corn. AVould not sell my machine at any ])nce. if I could not get another just 

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

 half cents per bushel. Yours respectfully, W.M. VREELANl), 



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



Mr. JOSEPn LUDINGTON, Com Buyer, etc., at Depot of Illinois Central Bailroad, Bloomington, says : I have shelled 

 about 40,01)0 ))usliel.s .since '20th Novemljer last, with about !^'j exi)cnse for repairs, running every day now. Have timed it one 

 hour and shelled 7i> bushels. Common average of every day is oo bushels i)er hour. It is tlie most substantial, durable and 

 economical Corn Shelter I have ever seen. Don't think it can lie equalled. 



Messrs. AUdLE k ALLER, of Bu.«hnell, C, C. & Q. K. R., have shelled alK.ut 40.000 bushels since November last. 

 Machine still in good order and f helling every day. Repairs have been trifling. Slieller and Power ciin?idered uneiiualled. 

 Shells from 450 to CUO 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 & SHREVES, Bushncll, have shelled since November about 50,000 bushels; expenses for repairs not 

 to exceed ifS ; is in tip top order now and shelling from. ")(l() to 000 busiiels per day. For economy and perfection of work, 

 have no Idea it can 1)0 e(|ualled. Have sold a numlier of machines in the neigbljorhood and never known one to be in any 

 way imperfect or incapable of giving tlie fullest satisfaction to the ])urcliascr. 



Messrs. COLE & AVEST, also of Bu.slmell, have slielkd Willi tlieir iiiaebine CiO.oilO bushels since last November, and it Is now 

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

 of having to slop for any break down or repairs whatever. Can sliell, clean and bag just any quantity of corn the men will 

 put into it. 



Mr. TAYLOR, of Kewanee, has shelled So.OOO 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 ))efore that he considered perfect in every resi>ecl. 

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

 managed. 



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

 profits on the KiO odd machines sold since last October woulil amount too. It will be uiKlei-.-tood that the above references are 

 to single macliines, that is, one Sheiler and its Two Horse Power has done the w(.rk named. 



If there is any Corn Slieller in the State of lUiiiois, of any capacitj-, capable of <l<iiiig as economical and perfect work, or 

 any Sheiler of its cniiacity aide to do as much work, with as little expense forrepairs, I would like to hear of it. Tlie parties 

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

FOR 



FAMILY AND PLAMATIO.X SF.AVIXG. 



From the very flattering manner in which our Machines 

 have been received by the public, resulting in the sale of 

 upwards of 



6 0,000, . 



Wo are led to believe that our endeavors to manufacture A 

 RELIABLE .MACHINE liave been appreciated. Wetaketliis 

 opportunity to remark that the policy will remain unchanged, 

 aud that 



EVERY MACHINE SOLD BY US 



We shall not hesitate to warrant in every resjiect.

THE 



GROYER & BAKER SEWING jrACHINE 



has one advantage which is worthy of especial attention, in 

 addition to the peculiar character of the stitch, and that is its 

 adai)tation to either lij;ht or medium heavy work. The 

 Macliiue which at one uioiueut is used on 



The Most Delicate Fabric, 



in a few moments after can be brought to bear with equal 

 facility on cottonades and towels of the coarsest description. 

 Its adaptation for 



F A M I L Y W R K , 



is thus remarkable, and gives it a superiority over every other 

 style of macliine in the market. 



FROM TUE SCIENTIFIG AMERICAN 



of Nov. 6, IboO, which we think is fully entitled to be conclu- 

 sive, from the high character of tluit jiajier, which is con- 

 sidered the best authority on all such subjects as that under 

 consideration. 



The machines manufactured by this company are too well 

 known by Jbe public at lari-'e to need any reconmiendalionsat 

 our hands, and we will siiiqily add that we have had one of 

 them ill use in our family lor some time past, audit is con- 

 sidered the most useful article in the liou.-e next to the cradle, 

 and no less indisiiensable tliiin that. In No. •! of the present 

 volume yX^^XjSS) of tlw i^citutijic Ainfi icon, we published an 

 illustration showing the mechanical ))rinciples of the (jrover 

 & Baker macluiie. By reference to thiit illustration, the form 

 of the stitch will be seen, and its security from ripping, as 

 well as its sujierior elasticity, will be reailily understood." 



There are constantly kept on exliibition machines of the 

 dilTerent patterns and styles of finish, for the convenience of 

 purchasers. Young ladies, experienced in their use and 

 courteous in their manners, arc always on hand to receive 

 lady visitors or purchasers.
