Salem, N. Y., Nov. 30,18M. 
John W. Quincj', Treasurer, &c. 
I started a new Flax Mill this year, and feeling that the 
price of your Brakes was so high, thought I would econo¬ 
mize by purchasing an improved old-fasliioned Brake, wliich 
I did, and placed it in my new mill, and run it four days. 
After running two days, I was determined to test it tlior- 
oughly with the two Brakes I purcliased of you, two years 
since, and have been running in my old mill at Lake, ever 
since. My tests are as follows: 
On average rotted straw, your Brake would give every 
time full 100 Bs. more of dressed flax to the ton than I could 
with tlie greatest care get from the old Brake. On over¬ 
rotted straw I got over 200 Bis. more tlian I could get by the 
old Brake. I stopped dressing and went to figuring, and' 
found tliat to dress tlie flax I now liave, with tlie old Brake, 
would cost me over $8,000 (loss). I therefore ■want you to 
sliip one of your Improved No. 1 Brakes by Express, as my 
men will dress no more flax in this mill nntil the new Brake 
arrives. ICiiclosed please find ciieck for $455. 
Yours respectfully, 
P. T. Burdick,
