Bloominotoh, April 17th, 1S60. 

 Mr. Tiuinc P. Atitater : 



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

 nORSE POWER ELEVATOR SHELLER, over 45,000 bushels of Corn, with less than |6 expense for repairs, iindniy machine 

 Is stlU in good running order and will probalily shell as much more. I have shelled, cleaned perfectly and sacked SO bupheKs 

 in one hour, and can do It any day with good corn. AVould not sell my machine at any price, if I could not get another ju.st 

 like it. Two light horses have done all this shelling and kept fat. 1 shell and car my own corn at an expense of one and a 

 half cents per bushel. Yours respectfully, AVM. VUEELAND, 



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



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

 about 40,000 liushels since 2Uth November last, with about |3 expense for repairs, running every day now. Have timed it one 

 hour and shelled 75 bushels. Common average of every day is 5t) bushels i>er hour. It is the most substantial, durable and 

 economical Corn Sheller 1 have ever seen. Don't think it can be equalled. 



Messrs. AUGLE k ALLEK, of Buslmell, C, C. & Q. R. R., have shelled about 40.000 bushels since November last. 

 Machine still in good order and rhelling every day. Repairs have l)een trifling. Sheller and Power considered unequalled. 

 Shells from 45<t to COO 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 k SHREVES, Bu.shnell, have shelled since November about 60,000 bushels ; expenses for repairs not 

 to exceed 15; is in tip top order now and ."helling froraSOO to 000 bushels perdiiy. 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 incapal>le of giving the fullest satisfaction to the purchaser. 



Messrs. COLE & WEST, also of Ilushnell, have shelled with their machine 00.000 bushels since last November, and it is now 

 running every day, and from a|)pearances, will shell as nmch 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 com 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 inen feed it to its capacity. Thinks it capable of shelling from 500 to 7i.O bushels per day, if rightly 

 man.igcd. 



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

 profits on the 100 odd machines sold since last Octolier would amount too. It ttIH 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 isany Corn Sheller in the Stateof lllini.is, of any capacity, capable of doing as economical and perfect work, or 

 any Sheller of its capacity al)le to do as much work, with a.s 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 

 less than half the price of steel. I 



These Bells are manufactured from an Amalgam, contain- ' 

 ing a liberal jjroportion of iron, and which, while It is much 

 cheaper than the compositions heretofore employed for the I 

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

 Immunity from fracture during frosty weather, equal, if not 

 superior to the latter. 1 



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. :
