P RATT & BROTHERS, 
MANUFACTURERS OF DITCH-DIGGERS, TILE 
AND BRICK MACHINES, 
Canandaigua, N. Y. 
THE MOST USEFUL AND PERFECT 
MACHINES KNOWN. 
They are in use by many persons, and proving themselves ca¬ 
pable of vastly cheapening and extending drainage. 
The Tile machine is gaining a reputation beyond any prece¬ 
dent, for the following reasons: 
1st.—Because it is the only Tile and Brick machine known, 
enabling brick-makers to make Tiles and tile-makers to make 
Bricks, with one and,the same machine. 
2d.—As a Tile machine it challenges competition in compact¬ 
ness, simplicity, completeness and economy. It will make 
Tiles at about one-half the cost of the machines in general 
use. 
3d.—As a Brick machine, it produces a quality superior in 
density and perfection to every tiling but the best pressed bricks, 
and at a cost less than the cheapest common brick. 
4th.—This machine is equally applicable to the use of Horse, 
Steam, or Water Power, without clap-trap, detention, or fault, 
and requires manual labor only to supply the clay and remove 
the tiles and brick as fast as made. 
The Digger will cut 100 rods of ditch, from 2 to 3 feet deep, 
as easy as the same team in the same soil will plow lk to 2 
acres. PRATT & BROTHERS,
