THE AMERICAN FRUIT - DRIER 
Has taken 4lac wherever Exhibited. 
The apparatus has been thoroughly tested two years, has given entire satisfaction, and its use. i 
rapidly extending wherever it is known. 
WITH THE AMERICAN FRUIT-DRIER 
Surplus fruit of every kind, and also that which from over-ripeness or inferior size or quality is unffi 
lor marketing in the unprepared state, can all be converted into a marketable commodity, which fron 
its excellence will command the highest price. Such fruit as is prepared by this means is now selling 
in this city at an average of fifty per cent more than ordinary dried fruit. 
NO MORE CANS NEEDED. 
In preserving- fruit, the end to be gained is to retain the sweetness and flavor permanently. Thi 
canning process was a great advance on the old-fashioned u pound-for-pound ” way of making' preserves; 
but in the necessary steaming- process there is loss of valuable constituents of the fruit, much of whicl 
is avoided by the new method. More than this, experiment proves that by this latter process the fruil 
is increased in sweetness by the change of its starch into glucose or fruit-sugar. In other words, whill 
passing through the Drier it is ripened more fully. Fruit so prepared requires one quarter to one thin 
less sugv.r to prepare it for the table than is needed for canned fruit. Other manifest advantages ove 
the canning’system arc: Uess Ti’ouhle ini Operating-; Cerlasiity of licepiiig ; IVc 
Kioss li’oui ISrokeji Boidcw; Great Saving of Room, in Storing. 
THE A HE IS EC! AIV EESIIST-l^IBSESS is so simple in plan and in working, that any 
carpenter can make it, and any ordinary laborer operate it. Its capacity can he adapted to small or largo 
operations. The ordinary family size, No. 1, will in favorable weather dry apples as fast as two person! 
can prepare the fruit. The cost is so moderate, that every farmer can profitably buy it to save the 
surplus product of his orchard or fruit-vard. 
Having formed a company finder the name and style of the American Drier Company, wo ar< 
prepared to furnish Driers to agents and others in the United States for the season of 1873, in three 
different sizes, viz.: 
Mo. !, 24 inches wide and 12 feet long, $25.00. 
Mo. 2, 30 inches wide and 14 feet long, $35.00. 
Mo. 3, 33 inches wide and 16 feet long, $45.00. 
The above are the factory prices, all complete except stove—delivered at the freight or express 
office, Loudon, Pa. Any common nine or ten-plate or any other kind of wood or coal stove can be used.! 
Printed directions for setting up and operating sent with each machine. 
No. 1 is a convenient size for general use, and will dry all the surplus fruit on any ordinary farm, 1 
drying as fast as two hands can hand-pare and cut the fruit. 
No. 3 will give employment to four hands. 
For fruit-growers in the fruit districts we make a series of Driers to do any given amount oil 
work, ranging in price from §100 to §500. 
Portable Driers with sheet-iron stoves all ready to operate, and exhibition models for agents, fur¬ 
nished to order; prices according to size, style, and finish.
