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



Bloomington, April 17th, 1S60. 

 Mr. Isaac P. Atwnter : 



Sir: — In ai;swertn ydur questions. I will state that since 10th November last. I have shelled with thoMoQUISTON TWO 

 HOltSK POWEK KLEVATOlt SIIKLLER, over 45,000 bnshels of Corn, with less tlian $5 expense for repairs, and my 

 machine is still in <,ooil runnin,:^ order and will probnbly shell fis much more. I have shelled, cleaned perfectly and 

 s:)clve(l 80 bushels in on*' hour, and cac do it any day witli good corn. Would not sell my midline at any price, if 

 I could not jcet another just like it. Two light horses have done all this shelling and kejjt fat. I shell and car my 

 own corn at an expense of one and a half cents per bushel. Yours respectfully, W.M A'^JtEEL.\ND, 



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



Mr. J08E?n LUDINGTOX. Corn Buyer, etc.. at Depot of Illinois Central Railroad, Bloomington, says: I have 

 ithelled about 40,000 bu^hels sirice 20th November last, with about S3 expense for repairs, running; every day now. 

 Ilrive tinicil it one hour and shelled 75 busliels. Common average of every daj' 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 equaled. 



Messrs. AUGI.K & ALLKK, of Buslinell, C, B. & Q. K. R, have shelled about 40,000 bushels since November last. 

 JIachiue s'ill in fjood order and shollinp; ev.-ry day. Repairs havi' been tiiilin.^- Sheller and Tower considered une- 

 (jualed. Siiells from 450 to 500 bushels per day, dependinj; upon the quantity of com got to it. Have never seen it 

 fed as fa<t as it would shell. 



Messrs. WYCFvOKF & SilREVES, Bushnell. have shelled since November about 50,000 bushels; expenses for. repairs 

 not to exc'-ed So; is in tip-top order now and shelling from 500 to 600 bushels per day. For econcmv and perfection 

 of work, have no id a it can be equaled. Have sold a number of machines in the nsiahborhood and never known 

 one to be in any way imperfect or incaviahle of giving the fullest satisfaction to the purchaser. 



Messrs. COLK it WEST, also of Bushnell, have shelled with their machine 60,000 bushels since last November, and 

 it is now running every clay, and from appearances, will shell as mnch more without any but trilling expense for 

 repairs. Never thiidi 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 

 repa-irs. Has run a great many Coin Sliellers, small and large, has never seen one before that he considered perfect 

 in every respect. lias 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 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 tlie 160 odd machines sold since la>t October W'ould amount to. It will be understood that 

 the above references are to single machines, that is, one Sheller and its Two Horse I'ower has done the work named. 



If there is any Corn Sheller in the State of Illinois, of any capacity, capable of doing as econmical and perfect 

 work, or any Sheller of its cap.acity able to do as mnch work, with as little expense for repairs. I would like toTiear 

 of it. The parties ab'.ve named are all resp'usible gentlemen, who have freely made these statements and volunteered 

 their names as references.
