GREAT PREMIUM FAN, patented December 20, 1853- 

 Montgomery's Celebrated Double Screen Rockaway 

 Wheat Fan, has, during the past year, been proved to be 

 the best Fan ever offered in the Middle States, having taken 

 premiums over all that have been offered to the public from 

 every quarter of the United States. It took the first pre- 

 mium at the Maryland State Agricultural Society's Exhibi- 

 tion, in October last, where all the most celebrated Fans 

 were in competition. 



The first premium at the Virginia State Agricultural So- 

 ciety's Exhibition, in November last. 



The Maryland Institute awarded silver medals to it at its 

 Exhibitions in 1852 and 1853, as superior to all others on 

 exhibition. 



The first premium was awarded at the Talbot County 

 (Maryland) Show, in 1852 ; and 



The first premium at the Prince George's County (Mary- 

 land) Exhibition, in 1853, by the special vote of the Society, 

 in consequence of its superiority and value, it being con- 

 trary to their standing rules to award premiums to articles 

 made out of the county. 



We annex the following certificate from a respectable far- 

 mer of St. Mary's county, and any number of others could 

 be published if necessary, all tending to show the decided 

 superiority of this Fan over any others that have ever been 

 introduced in the Middle States — and as the manufacturers 

 devote their whole attention to this one article, and rely for 

 its continued success upon the faithfulness of its make, as 

 well as the superiority of its principles of construction, far- 

 mers and others may rely on having their Fans made of 

 the best materials and workmanship. 



St. Geramers, St. Mary's Co., Md., Oct. 6, 1853. 



This is to certify, that I have tried Messrs. J. Montgo- 

 mery & Brother's Wheat Fan in some tailings I made in 

 cleaning a part of my crop, which I did not think could be 

 made worth anything ; it extracted from a bushel and a 

 half of filth about three pecks of pure wheat. I must say 

 that I never saw a Fan that can even come in competition 

 with J. Montgomery & Brother's Rockaway Wheat Fan, 

 for screening wheat. 'Benjamin- M'Kay.
