Portable Steam Engine, Patented Aug. 3 , 1858 . 
We invite the attention of the People to our Portable 
Steam Engines, designed expressly for their use; so sim¬ 
ple in construction that they can operate them without the 
assistance of experienced Engineers; so cheap as to come 
within their means; so light that they are easily removed, 
very durable, and burning any kind of fuel. 
We have invested in tools, patterns, &c., over 
s 1 o o 7 o o o 
in our establishment, and consequently produce our ma¬ 
chinery at the lowest possible cost. 
Our Portable Circular Saw Mills are built after the most 
approved models, Avith saw of any diameter, Iron or 
Wooden head blocks, belting, &c., &c., completely equip¬ 
ped for running as they leave the Avorks. 
There is no business Avith which Ave are acquainted, that 
pays so Avell as operating our Portable Suav Mills. It is 
quite common to clear the Avhole tirst cost Avithin the first 
half year’s run. The reports of the operators are so ex¬ 
traordinary that Ave prefer to let them speak for them¬ 
selves in the annexed statements from recent correspon¬ 
dence :— 
Sharpsburgh, Ky., 13 th July , 1858. 
* * * are d 0 i n g well, and AA'ell pleased Avith our 
Engine and Mill. A resident of Fleming county came 
expressly to see our mill in operation. He says we can 
make plank faster than any mill in the State, and Avas the 
best pleased man Ave ever saw. We haA-e made enough to 
pay for our mill already. Jons W. & Thomas Arnett. 
Somerset , Perry County , Ohio , 30 th May , 1858. 
* * * We are cutting from four to seA-en thousand 
feet per day in hard oak,and Ave think Ave can cut more lum¬ 
ber than any mill that now runs. We cut during this 
month 100,000 feet, and can do it one month Avith another 
the year through. We need hardly add that the Mill and 
Engine give us satisfaction. Mathews, Shirley &. Co. 
Hillsborough , Ohio, 9 th May, 1858. 
* * * We are saAving from 5000 to 6000 feet, per day, 
which Ave think is doing Avell. We had a visitor last Mon¬ 
day from a long distance, avIio came to see us work, be¬ 
cause he did not believe a mill Avith a single saw could cut 
Avhat Avas reported. He Avas deeply prejudiced in favor 
of the double saw. We fired up arid put up some poplar 
logs on the mill, and cut 1532 feet (1 inch boards) in one 
hour and fifty minutes. This convinced him that the 
double saAv Avas too complicated, and that our mill made 
lumber fast enough and good enough to satisfy him. 
S. B. Johnson. 
Circleville, Ohio, 21th July, 1858. 
* * * We sawed Avith four hands, 1560 f-incli boards 
in 59 minutes, and can for $50 cut 2000 feet in one hour. 
If you have anybody that beats that send me word. 
J. T. Woodrow. 
Cherry Valley, Wilson Co., Tenn., 5th June, 1858. 
* * * It is a decided point that yours is the best and 
most durable Engine that is made. Dunlap says his first 
and Blandy’s next; I say Blandy’s first and Dunlap’s next. 
I Avill let you knoAV Avhat the old Durham bull, as our En¬ 
gine is called, does occasionally. Jos. Young. 
Columbus, Mississippi , 3rd July, 1858. 
* * * I have received your eight-horse Engine, and 
find it most excellent after giving it a good test. 
M. R. Lemmon. 
Henry Co., Tenn , Sept. 11, 1858. 
* * * have gaAved in three hours 3500 feet, and 
yesterday, being Saturday, saAved in seven hours 5000 feet 
and Avalked to Paris, 6j miles. A. Hall. 
Windsor, Morgan Co., Ohio, 1 1th June, 1858. 
* * * They timed us, and found A\ r e cut 525 feet in 20 
minutes. Joshua Bingham. 
Paris , Tenn., 12 th Sept., 1858. 
We have numberless visitors eA’ery day. * * * Your 
guarantee of 4000 feet per day I would not give one far¬ 
thing for. * * We cut easily with good hands 6000 feel 
per day, and for brag days Ave can cut 10,000 feet. I have 
no doubt yours is the very best saAV mill in use.
