EMERY & CO.’S 
New-York State Society’s First Premium 
RAIRKQAB HORSE-POWERS. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and sold by the 
subscribers, are offered the public with the assurance that they 
are all they are represented—they having been very extensively and 
thoroughly introduced and tested, side by side, with all the tread pow¬ 
ers known, of any note in the country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee on Horse- 
Powers, in a communication written several months after the award¬ 
ing of premium to the above Horse-Power, says: “ I spent much 
time at the late State Fair. (Sept. 1850,) at Albany, in examining the 
various Horse-Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery 
Sc Co.’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they could 
say, and again in their absence—and the result most fully convinced 
me that yours was the best, and if I wanted one, I would give 
TWENTY DOLLARS more for yours than any others on the 
grounds; and as you have won the laurels fairly, it is just that you 
should recieve a full reward.” 
He further says —“ You know from experience that I have no sort 
of partiality for your establishment, and as a committee-man of said 
Society for years, I have decided against you oftener than for you ; 
and if others have a better article than you, I would decide in their 
favor, if the decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may. 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the foregoing, 
which, together with the changeable gearing, and other important 
improvements adopted since last season, make it the most Convenient, 
Durable, Efficient, and Economical Horse-Power now made; and 
the public may rest assured of being furnished by us -with a superior 
machine. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large portion of some 
parts of our work done by contracl, we have felt the inconvenience 
and want of dependance to be placed upon the quality of the ma¬ 
terials and wormanship; we have now so extended our facilities as 
to enable us to make all parts of all our own machines, and can now 
assure the public that none but the best work and stock will be offer¬ 
ed by us. 
The Two Horse Power Thresher and Separator is capable, with

ty of oats, per day.
