AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST,

T HEREBY WARN TIIE TUBLIC that the ma- 
I- chine advertised by Geo. Ertel as the Economy Hay 
Press infringes and uses eight of my patents, and that 
said press wus copied from my designs on the records 
of the Patent Office, or front my machines in the field, 
and that they are thus a swindle upon the public. 
Either the maker, seller or user are liable, and as the 
damage for infringing so many patents will be large, 
I propose to prosecute the latter as usually the most 
responsible party. Moreover, the damages are largely 
occasioned by the defective operation of such inferior 
machines, distortions of my patented designs; and the 
dirty ragged bales they put upon the market being my 
patented form of bale, not only prejudices my interests 
seriously, but also damages the entire hay interest of 
the country, as it will ruin the reputation of the Per¬ 
petual Press and bale, which means several dollars 
less per ton of hay. Formerly Western Hay was at 
a discount and but little called for in Eastern markets, 
but the Perpetual Press has opened up the markets of 
the entire country to the Western farmer and shipper, 
and the bales from these presses are now found and 
sell at an advance in all Eastern and Southern mar¬ 
kets; no one questions that it is the Perpetual Press 
that has done all this, then why prostitute its reputa¬ 
tion to the detriment of all concerned? The damages 
for infringing so many patents will be sure to cost the 
purchaser more than the press, and its use will be 
stopped. Why join in such a steal rvhen you can pur¬ 
chase the same machine of me, the inventor, at the 
same prices, and with such improvements as to make 
them do good work and sustain the reputation and 
prices of the Perpetual Hay in the market? Parties 
who appropriate the inventions of others seldom origi¬ 
nate anything themselves further than attaching some 
little side trap to the machine they pirate in order to 
get a patent on the side trap and make the public be¬ 
lieve it is on the machine proper. Said Ertel copied 
the machine in question bodily, and the patents he 
claims are not on the machine proper but on little 
traps attached to a feed door and the pole of the truck, 
neither of which could be utilized on a perfect press, 
and he has no authority to use my patented press to 
apply his side trap. I am not a novice in presses and 
patents, but have had a life experience and am pre¬ 
pared to satisfy all interested that X am entitled to 
all I claim, and, having the ability to do so, shall pro¬ 
tect my property to the interest of the public and my¬ 
self. Do not regard this as a scare as I volunteer to 
furnish evidence to satisfy all upon application that 
the above is a statement of facts, and in all fairness I 
ask the public if I am not entitled to some considera¬ 
tion for mv improvements and the benefit they have 
been to the hay interests of the country. Parties 
having these contraband presses will not be allowed to 
use them unless they settle with me, and, in addition, 
apply such of my improvements as are required to 
make them do good work, and turn out bales that will 
not sell at a discount, thereby damaging the sale of our 
patented bale in the market. Don’t be swindled, but 
send to me for copies of my patents before purchasing 
any horizontal hay press. Price of presses guaranteed 
the best in the world, and cheaper at prices than 
any other as a gift or no sale, from 5100 upwards.
