BUY IT! TRY IT! 
After 21 years of success In the manufacture of 
Wind Mil 8, we have lately made a complete change 
In our mill, all parts being built stronger and better 
proportion-d and a self lubricant bushing placed in 
all ooxes to save the purchaser from ell timing high 
towers to oil it. The same principle of self-governi g 
retained. Every part of the Mill fully WARRANTED 
and will run w ithout making a noise. 
The reputation gained by the Perkins Mill in the 
past has Induced some unscrupulous persons to Imi- 
tate the mill and even to take our name an 1 apply it 
to an inferior mill. Be not deceived, none genuine 
unless stamped as below. We manufacture both 
Pumping and Geared Mills. Tanks, Pumps, etc., and 
General Wind-Mill Supples. Good Agents w r anted.
