FIfcUIT PREPARED OIV 
THE AMERICAN FRUIT - DRIER 
Has taken the FIRST PREMIUMS wherever Exhibited. 
The apparatus lias been thoroughly tested two years, has given entire satisfaction, and its use is 
rapid); extending wherever it is known. 
WITH THE AMERICAN FRUIT-DRIER 
Surplus fruit of every kind, and also that which from over-ripeness or inferior size or quality is unfit 
for marketing in the unprepared state, can all be converted into a marketable commodity, which from 
its excellence will command the highest price. Such fruit as is prepared by this means is now selling 
in this city at an average of fifty per cent more than ordinary dried fruit. 
NO MORE CANS NEEDED. 
In preserving fruit, the end to be gained is to retain the sweetness and flavor permanently. The 
canning process was a great advance on the old-fashioned " pound-for-pouud " way of making preserves, 
but in the necessary steaming process there is loss of valuable constituents of the fruit, much of which 
is avoided by the new method. More than this, experiment proves that by this latter process the fruit 
is increased in sweetness by the chauge of its starch into glucose or fruit-sugar. In other words, while 
passing through the Drier it is ripened more folly. Fruit so prepared requires one quarter to one third 
less sug-r to prepare it for the table than is needed for canued fruit. Other manifest advantages over 
the canning system are : Less Trouble in Operating:; Certainty of Keeping-; 2X© 
Loss (niiii ISroken Bottles; Great Saving' of Room in Storing'. 
THE AMERICAN FRUIT-»RIEI£ is so simple in plan and in working, that any 
carpenter can make it, and any ordinary laborer operate it. Its capacity can be adapted to small or large 
operations. The ordinary family size, No. 1, will in favorable weather dry apples as fast as two persons 
can prepare the fruit. The cost is so moderate, that every farmer can profitably buy it to save the 
surplus product of his orchard or fruit-yard. 
Having formed a company under the name and style of the American Drier Company, we are 
prepared to furnish Driers to agents and others in the United States for the season of 1873, in three 
different sizes, viz. : 
No. I, 24 inches wide and 12 feet long, $25. OO. 
No. 2, 30 inches wide and 14 feet long, $35.00. 
No. 3, 36 inches wide and 16 feet long, $45. OO. 
The above are the factory prices, all complete except stove — delivered at the freight or express 
office, Loudon, Pa. Any common nine or ten-plate or any other kind of wood or coal stove can be used. 
Printed directions for setting up and operating sent with each machine. 
No. 1 is a convenient size for general use, and will dry all the surplus fruit on any ordinary farm, 
drying as fast as two hands can hand-pare and cut the fruit. 
No. 3 will give employment to four bauds. 
[SP For fruit-growers in the fruit districts we make a series of Driers to do any given amount of 
work, ranging in price from -S100 to $500. 
Portable Driers with sheet-iron stoves all ready to operate, and exhibition models for ageuts, fur- 
nished to order; prices according to size, style, and finish. 
pw Furnaces and steam-heaters for large Driers furnished at the lowest rates. 
Samples of fruits and vegetables dried in the American Drier sent by mail or express, prepaid, on 
receipt of 25 cents. 
We also invite the attention of manufacturers of various articles which require drying, to the com- 
bination of principles embraced in the American Drier patent claims. By special mechanical arrange- 
ments jt may be adapted— on a large scale— to various purposes, such as drying grain, hops, herbs, 
chemicals, paper, straw-boards, lumber, and for drying and curing beef, pork, fish, etc., etc. 
Agents wanted to introduce and sell the Driers, and the rights to make and use them. 
For further information, show-bills, circulars, and special terms to ageuts, send name and post-office 
address, inclosing stamp, to the 
AMERICAN AIRIER CO., 
LOUDON, FRANKLIN CO., PA. 
A modal of the Drier may be seen at the office of American Agriculturist, 245 Broadway, N. T.
