WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS, VIZ: 
That Iron well galvanized will not rust; 
That a .simple machine is better than a complicated one : 
That a Wringer should be self-adjusting, durable, 
and efficient; 
That Thumb Screws and Fastenings cause delay and 
trouble to regulate and keep in order; 
That wood soaked in hot water will swell, shrink and 
split ; 
That wood bearings for the shaft to run in will wear out ; 
That the PUTNAM WRINGER, with or without Cog- 
wheels, will not tear the clothes; 
That Cog-wheel regulators are not essential; 
That the PUTNAM WRINGER has all the advantages, 
and not one of the disadvantages above-named ; 
That all who have tested it, pronounce it the best Wringer 
ever yet made; 
That it will wring a Thread or a Bed Quilt without 
ALTERATION.

TESTIMONIALS. 
Esperance, N. Y., April 8th, 1S64. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen,— We have used your Patent Flax Brake since 
last September, and take this opportunity of saying, that lor 
rotted flax it exceeds any that we are acquainted with of the 
brake kind; it. not only saves flax and time, but keeps it 
straight and even. Wishing you success in this great inven- 
tion. We remain yours truly, 
Jacob Gardiner & Son. 
Wtlltamstown, Mass., April 9th, lS6t. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford; 
Gents,— I have been using one of your No. 1 .-Patent Flax 
Brakes since January last, driving it with a horse power. 1 
am perfectly satislie'd with it, and think it will do all and 
more than recommended. My neighbors think yours far 
superior to the Old Brake, and, in fact, the best brake ever 
seen. Dicwitt C. Smith. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: April 11th, 186-1. 
Gentlemen,— I have been reqnested to give a statement 
of an acre and one-half of flax raised by me last season: it 
beins a very rainy time when rotted, it got over rotted, so 
much so, that it was very tender. I took it up in the month 
of November last. I was told by a neighboring flax-mill 
man, that he had a Brake that was an improvement on the 
old-fashioned Brake, and could get more flax from it than 
Wilcox could get from vour Brake, So I concluded to take 
part to each mill ; so I took 120 bundles to R.'s mill, and got 
forty-eight pounds (Old Brake). I took the remainder 
220 bundles to Wilcox's mill, and got one-hundred and 
sisty-two pounds— the straw was all alike, and the dressing 
good in both eases. I get from Old Brake 114 pounds, and 
222 by vour Brake, making by yonr Brake 107 pounds to the 
ton in favor of your Patent Brake. This is quite an item 
with me. as I am a ropemaker, and the flax is worth 25 cents 
per pound to ine. William Tilton. 
GREENWicn, Washington Co., N. Y., April 11th, 1S64, 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gents.— In replv to your inquiry, would say, that we sold 
the Brake we bought in the fall of 1802, and bought two 
more of yours in November. lRfig, and have had them in 
practical use since that time, and think the fine rollers hav- 
ing twenty-four flutes (instead of the twenty-two of the old 
pattern) a decided improvement. We shall break from four • 
to five hundred acres with them this season. 
Yours truly, Eddy, Dyke & Co.

Dear Sir.— In answer to vour request for our opinion in 
regard to Sanford & Mallorv's Patent Flax Brake, we would 
sav, that we have been using one of their lour set rollers 
(screw motion) Brakes since'last fall, and it doeB the work 
perfectly, and eniirelv to our satisfaction 
Yours respectfully, Euwee & Taylor.
