Mr. John W. Qulncy, Treasurer ot Mallory & Snnford Flax 
and Hemp Machine Co., 9S William-st., New- York : 
Dear Sin.— In answer to your request for our opinion of 
tlie Mallory & Sanford Flax Brake, we would say that we 
liave had one of them in use in our mill for the past four 
months, and tliat it works to our perfect satisfaction. We 
consider it the best Brake we have ever seen for straight 
straw, and intend ordering two mure for the coming season. 
Respectfully yours. 
Blackwell & Mallory. 
Orvill, Pa., April 18th, 1S64. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen.— Alter having your Flax Machine fairly test- 
ed by competent judges, I concur with them in saying it is 
die most simple, the most durable, and executes its work 
better than any machine I have ever examined. 
Tours respectfully.

Dkar Sir.— In answer to your request for an expression of 
.ipii.lon in regard to the Sanford & Mallorv Flax Brake, I 
(fill state that they have fulfilled my expectations. 1 have 
ased them qulLe extensively, having used four of them 
(No. l), for more than one year. I am able to break one ton 
of straw per day upon each brake, and when called for, have 
done more. They do the work well, and bring the lint out in 
.TQo<l condition— much better than the old-fashioned ma- 
chine. My short experience with them satisfies me of their 
excellence. Yours truly, 
John P. Comly.

West Auburn, Susquehanna Co., Pa„ April lith, 1S&4. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen.— I have been using one of vour No. 1 Brakes 
during the past winter— most of Ulc time doing custom work. 
Our customers are generally, I believe, well satisfied with it. 
The flax dressed by It is said to be softer and finer than that 
broken by the old-fashioned brakes. Yours truly, 
W. F. Cobtjrn. 
Theresa, Jefferson Co., N. Y. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford, New York : 
Gents.— We have used one of your Patent Flax Brakes 
for the past four months, to our entire satisfaction— produc- 
ing from -too to 500 lbs. of well scutched flax per day of ten 
hours, depending upon the qualltv and condition of the 
straw. Having examined the best Flax Mills in the United 
States and Canadas, we are fully satisfied that the best ma- 
chine In use lor flax dressing is the Mallory & Sanford Brake. 
Yours truly,
