DOUBIE SCREENED ROCKAWAY. 



The Great Premium Fan still Victorious. 



Invented and Manu- 

 factured by J. Mont- 

 gomery & Bro., at 

 No. 155 North High 

 Street, Baltimore. — 

 Patented Dec. 20th, 

 1853, and June 9th, 

 1855. This Fan has 

 taken the first Pre- 

 ,» miuin at all the lead- 

 ing Agricultural Shows of Virginia, Maryland 

 and North Carolina. We have never been beat- 

 en since we improved our Fan, and we do not 

 think that there is any Fan in the United States 

 that will do its work as fast and clean as our 

 Rockaway. They are worked easy, are very 

 simple, can be rigged for cleaning by an intelli- 

 gent 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 opportu- 

 nities to test our Fan, during the present har- 

 vest, with several of the latest improved Fans, 

 and our experience is, that we can clean nearly, 

 if not quite, as fast and clean as any two of 

 them in the same time. We think we know 

 what the farmer wants and needs, and that our 

 experience enables us to suit them better than 

 any other person in the Fan business, and they 

 may rest assured that no pains will be spared to 

 give them the best machine in the market. Our 

 Fan has gained its present popularity entirely 

 in consequence of its merits — our sales have in- 

 creased 50 per cent, in our old districts, showing 

 that those sold heretofore have given full satis- 

 faction. We have sold over -550 Fans this sea- 

 son, "and 750 will not more than supply the de- 

 mand from present appearances. It is an easy 

 matter to puff up an article before the public, 

 through the Journals as some have been this 

 season, but for a Fan to retain its popularity, 

 and to increase in demand, as ours has done in 

 the same counties and districts for 3 and 4 years, 

 is the best evidence of its value. Our sales are 

 extendedj over six States, namely : Maryland, 

 Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Dela- 

 ware and Georgia. Having secured Letters Pa- 

 tent for our Fan in 1853 and 1855, we are now 

 prepared to sell Rights for any State or County 

 not mentioned above. W e offer a good chance 

 to any enterprising mechanic who desires to go 

 into business — a business that can be started on 

 a small capital and yield as fair profit as any 

 we know of. We will give all the Patterns and 

 any instruction requisite. 



Our Fans, delivered on board the vessel in Bal- 

 timore, cost $34. All orders by mail as promptly 

 attended to as if made in person. 



It is deemed almost unnecessary to give cer- 

 tificates or references, as to the superior quali- 

 ties of our Fan, as they are so universally known, 

 but for the information of those who have not 

 as yet used them, we subjoin the following: 



Charles County, Md., 1855. 

 We have tried Montgomery & Bro ; s improved 

 Double Screened Rockaway Fan, and find it to 

 be the best we have ever seen. It cleans clean- 

 er, faster, and works better, in general, than any 

 we have ever tried. We recommend it to all 

 our friends. John Wise, 



Sam'l Carrington,

This is to certify that I purchased of Messrs. 

 J. Montgomery & Brother, one of their Wheat 

 Fans, the 17th of July, 1852, and I consider it 

 an excellent fan. It is now fanning wheat this 

 day, and I think it is as perfect as when I" first 

 purchased it, except the usual wear and tear, I 

 would recommend them to the public.

Rockfield, Nelson Co., July 23, 1855. 

 Messrs. J. Montgomery & Bro. 



I am more than pleased with your Rockaway 

 Fan : had I obtained yours in time on my last 

 year's third and inferior qualitied wheat, (the 

 remnant) I could have saved $150.
