THR MQVmTON 8HELLER AND HORSE POWER, 



MANUFACTURED B Y J. C. CARR. 



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

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



Bloomisgton, April 17th, 1860. 

 Mr. Issac 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 ?5 expense for repairs, and my machine 

 Is still in good running order and will probal)Iy shell as much more. I have shelled, cleaned perfectly and sacked 80 busliels 

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

 lilce 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> 



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



Mr. JOSEPH LUDINGTON, Com 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. Have timed it one 

 hour and shelled 75 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 shelling every day. Repairs have been trifling. Sheller and Power considered imequalled. 

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

 to exceed |5; is in tip top order now and shelhng 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 &, 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 iiut trifling expense for repairs. Never tliink 

 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. Tliinks it capable of shelling from 500 to 700 bushels per day, if rightly 

 managed. 



And I might ^ on xnulttplying reports B&tnilar to iho above, until It would cost mP About aji tuuch 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 lias 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 resjionsible gentlemen, who have freely made these statements and volunteered their names as references.

The elegance, speed, noiselessncss and simplicity of the 

 machine ; the Ijeauty and strength of the stitch ; being alike 

 on both sides. Impossible to ravel, and leaving no clutin or 

 ridge on the xmder side; the economy of thread and adapta- 

 bility to the thickest or thinnest fabrics, have rendered this 

 the 



THH MOST SCCCESSFtJI, AHD FOPULAB 



Family Sewing Machine 



Now Made. 



At my office, I sell at New York prices, and give 



INSTRUCTIONS FREE OF CHARGE, : 



to enable purchasers to sew ordinary seams, hem, fell, qnilt, 

 gather, bind and tuck, all on the same machine, and warrant 

 for three years. 



The following commendations are selected from a mass of 

 Blmllar .tocunit^nte, with which a volume might easily be filled. 

 We feel gratified to know that many other persons of the 

 highest literary, political and social standing In tliis country, 

 have volunteered their warm approval of our FamOy Sewing 

 Machine : 



" We are having a great many inquiries for sewing 

 machines from various parts of the country, and as we can 

 not conveniently reply to them by mail, we have thought it 

 proper to state our opinion in regard to them in tliis public 

 manner. There are a number of very excellent machines 

 now in the market which are deservedly successful. We 

 have, however, never used but one, iwmely, Wilson's patent, 

 manufactured by the Wheeler &, Wilson manufacturing com- 

 pany, and we can say in regard to it that it is without a rival. 

 No other machine exceeds it in its adaptation to all the pur- 

 poses of domestic use. It is simple, not easily put out of 

 order when in proper hands, and in point of effectiveness and 

 finish, no other machine stands ahead of it. We state this 

 much in regard to the excellent machine upon our own 

 responsibilitv, and without the slightest Intention to disparage 

 other machines well known to the public ; and we hope there- 

 by to save ourselves considerable time and postage in answer- 

 ing letters which frequently come to us witJi inquiries touch- 

 ing this subject. " — IScientiJic American, April 24, 1S5S. 



" We prefer the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines for 

 family use. They will force the industry of woman into a 

 thousand new channels, and emancipate her^rom the cramp- 

 ed posture and slow starvation of needle work. " — New 

 York Tribune. 



" Wheeler & Wilson's machines are the favorities for fam- 

 ilies, being especially adapted to that purpose. They work 

 more rapidly, with less friction, and with a greater economy 

 of thread than most, if not all others. " — New York Ti?nes. 



" The Wheeler & Wilson is the machine par excellence for 

 family use, and we recommend it most emptiatically. " — Ad- 

 vocate and Jmirnal. 



"There is not an invention of this inventive age which 

 honors A merican genius more than the sewing machine. No 

 family ought to be deprived of its benefits. " — Indepeu'dent. 



"A sewing machine is among tlie most useful and economi- 

 cal articles housekeepers can purchase. In looking out for 

 the best, it would be well to see machines of Wheeler & Wil- 

 son before purchasing elsewhere. " — Examiner. 



" 'NATieeler & Wilson's machine are the best ever offered to 

 public patronage. They are simple and durable ; easily kept 

 in repair; work without noise; sew with great rapidity; 

 make an even and firm stitch on both sides, that will not rip ; 

 economize thread, and are applicable to every purpose and 

 material common to the art in question. " — Christian Inq. 



"Wheeler & Wilson's machines combine everything that 

 can be required in the manufacture of garments. Our friends 

 abroad may be assured fhat they will give entire satisfaction, 



and that to purchase one of them is a safe investment. "
