Messrs. Nordyke, Marmon & Co.:—
Gentlemen:—Our custom work runs from 60 to 250 bushels per day of wheat, besides a large amount of corn. Although there are several mills here, our flour has the preference, and sells more ready than any; the self-tram irons are perfect. You shall hear from us again.
Yours, truly,
A. L. Bowman & Co.
This mill is composed of two run of our 42-inch and one run 30-inch in combined husk, the two former being upper-runner, latter under-runner. They use our 20 feet double reel bolt and other supplies for the complete furnishing of a mill.
Two 30 Inch Pulley Mills.

Nordyke, Marmon & Co.:—
Gentlemen:—The mills purchased of you last May, set up and started by David Carey, have given entire satisfaction. Our mill consists of two run of 30-inch upper-runner burrs, pulley mills—one for corn and one for wheat—can grind from seven to ten bushels of wheat into the best merchantable flour, and from ten to fifteen bushels of corn into fine meal, per hour on each burr. Our bolt is sufficient to bolt the above amount, and performs well. Our mills and machinery is driven by an engine, 8 by 16-inch cylinder, and runs 170 revolutions to the minute. We can run the entire machinery ten hours on three-fourths of a cord of wood, have been running almost every day since we started up. Our custom is still on the increase, extending over a great amount of country. We run now every day, while other mills in town and immediate vicinity do not run now to exceed two days in the week. Your mill and bolt arrangement is the only thing suitable for custom, and does well for merchant work. We would recommend persons who think of buying mills, to give you a call—or if we purchase again we will do so. We will take pleasure in showing any one our mill.
Yours, respectfully,
Carey & Roberts.
Lay by Your Old Notions.—36 inch and 30 inch Pulley Mills.
