DOUBLE SCREENED ROCKAWAY, 

 THE GREAT PREMIUM PAN STILL VICTORIOUS. 



invented and Manufac- 

 tured by J. MONTGOM- 

 ERY & BRO., at No 

 155 North High Street, 

 Baltimore. %tented Dec. 

 20th, 1853, and June 9th, 

 1855. This Fan hue taken 

 the First Premium at all 

 the leading Agricultural 

 Shows of Virginia, Mary- 

 land and North Carolina. 

 We have never been 

 beaten fines W3 improved our Fan, and we do not think 

 that tbere is any Fan in the United States that will do its 

 work as fast and clean as our Rockoway. They are 

 worked easy, are very sample, can be rigged for cleaning 

 by an intelligent farmer, are very durable, and when out 

 of order can be repaired with great ease, by any Mechanic 

 —and they are adapted to cleaning all kinds of grain 

 We have had ample opportunities to test our Fan, during 

 the present harvest, with several of the latent improved 

 Pans, and our experience is, that we can clean nearly, if 

 aot quit*, as fast and clean, as any two of -them in the 

 same time. We think we know what the farmer wants 

 md needs, and that our experience enables us to suit them 

 better than any other person in the Fan business — and 

 ihey may rest assured that no pains will be spared to gue 

 them the best machine in the market. Our Fan has gained 

 its present popularity entirely in consequence of its merits 

 —our Bales have increased 50 per cent, in our old dis- 

 'jricts, showing that those sold heretofore have given full 

 miisfaction. We have sold over 550 Fans this season, and 

 750 will not more than supply the ."emand from present 

 appearances. It is an easy matter to puff Up an article 

 !>efpre the public, through the Journals as some hava been 

 Ms 6eason — but for a Fan to retain its popularity, and to 

 ncrease in demand, as ours has done in the same Coun- 

 ies and districts for 3 and 4 years, is *,he best evidence of 

 ti value. Our sales are extended over six States, namely, 

 Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carofna, 

 Delaware and Georgia. Having secured Letters Patent 

 or our Fan, in 18-53 and 1855, we are now prepared to 

 ell Rights for any State or County not mentioned above. 

 tYb offer a good chance to any enterprising mechanic 

 >fho desires to go into business — a business that can be, 

 itaried on a small capital and yield as fair profit as any 

 »e know of. We will give all the Patterns and any 

 astructiori requisite.

 j It is deemed almost unnecsesary to give certificates or 

 cferenc> a s, as to the superior -qualities' of our Fan, as they 

 ire so universally known — but fur the information of those 

 uho have not as yet used theT, we subjoin the following: 

 Charles County, Md , 1855. 

 We hare triad Montgomery & Bro's improved Double 

 screened Rockaway Fan, and find it to be the best we 

 lave ever seen. It cleans cleaner, factor, and works 

 >etter, in general, than any we have ever tried. We 

 ecommend it to all our friends. Johj* Wise,

This i< to certify that I purchassd of Messrs J. Mont- 

 gomery & Brother, one of the.Y wheat Fan*, the 17th of 

 Jaly, 1852, and I consider it an excellent fan. It is now 

 anniag wheat this day, and I think it is as perfect as 

 vhen I first purchased it, except the usual w?ar and tear, 

 would recommend them to the public. Dan'l Nswnam.

 tfecsTO. J. Montgomery & Bro: 

 I ara more than pleased with your Rockaway Fan ; had 

 obtained youra in time on my last year's third and inferior 

 t«alitied wheat, (tho remnant) I could have saved $150.

BALDWIN, CARDWELL & CO. 



Richmond, February 27th. 



Castle Hill, Dec. 15, 1854. 



Col. Wm, B. Stoughton : — Dear Sir: I take 

 pleasure in recording here my impressions of the 

 performance of your Plow (Rich's Iron-beam Pa- 

 tent) at Cobham to day. The work was far more 

 thorough and complete than that of any plow I ever 

 saw in operation before. The furrow opened by it 

 was very generally 13 inches deep and about 30 

 inches wide in hard close land, and most effectually 

 and perfectly cleaned out, none of the sod earth 

 falling back into it. 



The trial of the plow was witnessed by mnny of 

 my neighbors, among whom ! will mention Messrs. 

 Frank K. Nelson, J. H. Genell, J. H. Lewis, O. B. 

 Hopkins, Thomas Watson, of Louisa, &c, all prac- 

 tical men and most excellent judges of agricultural 

 implements, and there was but one opinion among 

 them as to the superiority and unexceptionable per- 

 formance of your plow. 



Wishing you equal success elsewhere in making 

 this valuable implement favorably kapua to our 

 agricultural brethren, I remain yours, truly, 



ap It WM. C. RIVES.
