We invite the attention of the Public 
to the Merits of Our 
CELEBRATED 
PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES 
FOR FARM AND MECHANICAL 
PURPOSES. 
These Machines are equally well adapted for Mills, Shops, 
Foundries, or Printing-Rooms; or for out-door purposes, 
like Farm-work, Mining, Boring Wells, &c. 
For use in buildings they are mounted on legs, and require 
no brick-work for setting up, occupy little space, are almost 
noiseless in operation. The firebox is surrounded by water- 
space, making them perfectly safe from fire dropping to the 
floor. They are adapted for usin^ either wood or coal. 
For threshing or other purposes, where they require fre- 
quent moving from place to place, we mount the machines 
on strong wheels, and furnish them complete with pole lor 
attaching team, and with hinged smoke-pipe, which can be 
lowered, so that they may be moved without, detaching or 
deranging t;ny of their parts. 
Cy These Machines are now in use In nearly every 
State in the Union.
