BUY IT! TRY IT! 
After 21 years of success in the manufacture of 
Wlud Mil s, wi- have lately made a complete change 
in our mill, all parts being built stronger and better 
proportion'd and a self lubricant bush! ”g placed in 
all boxes to save the purchaser front cMmiung high 
fow< rs to oil It. The same principle of self governi g 
retained. Every part of the Mill fully WARRANTED 
and will run without 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 namk an i apply It 
to an inferior mill. Be not deceived, none genuine 
unless stamped as below. We manufacture both 
Pumping and (ieared Mills. Tanks, Pumps, etc., and
