INTRODUCTORY.
We present our customers and those whose names have been given us with our descriptive pamphlet for 1872.
Having now been established over thirty-five years in the construction of machinery in this particular line, and knowing most of the old and new improvements which have been a success and those which have failed, we are offering, after almost a constant course of labor, mill machinery of undoubted superior qualities. And now we invite the attention of those interested to the articles of our designing and make, fully believing a careful investigation and comparison with the work of any manufacturer will convince them of its excellence. Our work being represented in OVER ONE THOUSAND FLOURING MILLS is some evidence of its practical merits. No experiments, but get the best. We have files of letters and statements that tell of the costly experiences of those having bought new and untried machinery.
The mill of to-day of whatever dimensions must be simple, compact, efficient, durable and cheap.
