During the past two years, we have sold nearly one thousand setts of these 
Improved Powers, with Threshers; and without exception, they have given 
Uniform satisfaction, not one having been returned, notwithstanding our war¬ 
ranty is broad and liberal. They have been exhibited at all the principal 
Fairs throughout the country, during the autumn of 1850, and again in 1851, 
and with but two exceptions in the whole number of exhibitions, they were 
awarded the Highest Premiums—and in both these cases, before the pat¬ 
terns were as perfect as now; and the workmanship, in both having been 
done for us by contract, before we were enabled, with our facilities, to do all 
ourselves. In these instances, our Powers were entirely new, and not made 
with any view of exhibition—while those Powers receiving the premiums 
were made and finished up in all the working as well as other parts, with 
especial reference to competition at Fairs. In the one case, our Power 
has since established its superiority over its competitor, by receiving the Highest 
and only Premium in 1851, and in competition with the same Power, and at 
the hands of the same Society, the majority of whose awarding committee 
owned and were using the competing Power which received the award in 
1850—giving our own the preference for its superior construction, ease for 
team, and efficiency: And m the other, we pledge ourselves to the public that 
it will do the same thing at their next Annual Fair, provided pecuniary interest 
or personal prejudice is not allowed to enter into the merits of the question. 
Among the many Premiums awarded us for this Power, are the following: 
At the Fair of the New-York State Agricultural Society at 
Aldany, in 1850, the committee unanimously awarded us the Plighcsl and 
only Premium on the endless-chain Power, and in competition with three 
others—among which was the "Wheeler Railway Power, made and entered by 
themselves, (the same as we have extensively manufactured and sold for seve-
