TESTIMONIALS. 
Iscnr/A, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y., April 16th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen,— In regard to vour Flax Brake, I wonld say, 
tliat it fully meets my expectations; it being constructed of 
iron in its principal parts, and is not only strongly made, but 
is powerful in its operation, and very durable. It is notat all 
liable to derangement, and can be operated by almost any 
person. I can easily break two thousand pounds of flax 
straw, and it will take out from 60 to 70 per cent of the shive 
or woody matter. There can be no doubt but your machine 
will save more fibre than the old Brake. 
Yours respectfully, D. S. Abbott. 
Avoca, N. Y., March 24th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gents,— The Flax Brake you furnished me "works like a 
charm." I can not see how any machine could be more 
perfect in itself, or better adapted to its use, than said Brake. 
I have now had mine in constant use for five months; it has 
not been out of order or needed any repairs— it is easily 
managed and no accident lias occurred from its use. I feel 
that you and your Brake will supplant Rebels and King 
Cotton, with Patriots and King Flax. 
Truly yours, R. R. Calkins. 
Hamilton, 0., March 24th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gents, — I have been using your Patent Brake for the past 
four months, and am well pleased with, and do not hesitate 
to recommend It to all parties, wishing to buy such an arti- 
cle, as the best I have vet seen in use. 
Yours Respectfully, -Louis Snldek. 
Janesbueg, N. J., March 29th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen,— The Flax Brake which I purchased from 
yon last fall, lias been almost constantly at work since the 
first of December last, and gives satisfaction in every partic- 
ular, does the work thoroughly, and rapidly, and has needed 
no repairs. Yours truly, Jno. D. Buckelew. 
Gkanville, Vt., March 29th, 1661 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen, — I have been using vour Patent Brake for th n 
last three months, and feel perfectly satisfied with its opera^ 
tion ; and would not be willing to exchange it for any other 
machine I ever saw for anv consideration whatever. Its 
value is enhanced incalculably by its perfect safety to the 
operator. I am satisfied that the saving of lint and labor 
over the old Brake, will more than twice pay for the machine 
every year it is used. Yours truly, 
Nathaniel G. Folgeb. 
Lockpobt, N. Y., March 28th, 1S64. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gents,— I have been running one of your eight roller im- 
proved screw motion Flax Brakes the past winter, and it has 
worked to my satisfaction. When the straw is properly 
rolled, the sliives are broken so fine that most of them cau 
be shaken from the fibre, and it requires but little scutching 
except the seed ends. A number of parties have been to see 
the operation of the Brake, and all are satisfied with its ex- 
ecution. Respectfully, F. N. Nelson.
