TESTIMONIALS. 
Janesville, Wis, April 25tli, 1864. 
Mr. John TV. Quincy, Treasurer of Mallory & Sanford Flax 
and Hemp Machine Co., 98 William-st., New-York : 
Deal Sir— In answer to your request for our opinion of 
the Mallory & Sanford Flax Brake, we would say that we 
have had one of them in use in our mill for the past four 
months, and that it works to our perfect satisfaction. We 
consider it the best Brake we have ever seen for straight 
straw, and intend ordering two more for the coming season. 
Respectfully yours, 
Blackwell & Mallory. 
Orvill, Pa., April 18th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen.— After having your Flax Machine fairly test¬ 
ed by competent judges, I concur with them in saying it is 
*hc most simple, the most durable, and executes its work 
Setter titan any machine I have ever examined. 
Yours respectfully, 
S. N. Bronson, 
Dealer in Machinery and general Hardware. 
Dayton, Ohio, April 20th, 1864. 
John W. Quincy, Treasurer. 
Deau Sir.—I n answer to yonr request for an expression of 
opinion in regard to the Sanford & Mallory Flax Brake, 1 
will state that they have fulfilled my expectations. I have 
used them quite extensively, having used four of them 
(No. 1), for more than one year. I am able to break one ton 
of straw per day upon eacli brake, and when called for, have 
done more. They do the work well, and bring the lint out in 
good condition—much better than the old-fashioned ma¬ 
chine. My short experience wit); them satisfies me of their 
excellence. Yours truly, 
John P. Comly.

straight straw.—M. & S. 
West Auburn, Susquehanna Co., Pa., April 11th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen.—I have been using one of your No. 1 Brakes 
iuringthe past winter—most of tine time doing custom work. 
Our customers are generally, I believe, well satisfied with it. 
The llax dressed by it is said to he softer and finer than that 
orokcu by the old-fashioned brakes. Yours truly, 
W. F. Coburn. 
TnERESA, Jefferson Co., N. Y. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford, New-York : 
Gents.— We have used one of your Patent Flax Brakes 
for tlic past four months, to our entire satisfaction—produc¬ 
ing from 400 to 500 lbs. of well scutched flax per day of ten 
hours, depending upon the quality 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 for flax dressing is the Mallory & Sanford Brake. 
Yours truly, 
J. H, Helmeb & Co.
