Gentlemen:—We write you in regard to a bolt for rye and buckwheat—wish it to attach to our corn mill. We think a small one will answer, but want it to be of sufficient capacity for the mill, which grinds pretty lively. We have now been running the mills bought of you, since August 23, 1867, two 36-inch for wheat and one 26-inch for corn, bolts, shafting, smutter, &c. We are so crowded with custom work that it is impossible to grind it in six days a week—it may seem strange to you, but it is so. If we had the bolt referred to, we can run all at once, and possibly keep up. Gents, we have proven beyond a doubt to the mill men of this section that your mills beat them all, and can now say that we have effectually dried up all the old style mills in this country, on custom work. We have some customers that come to us twenty-five miles, and pass two other mills on the trip. You will please give us your lowest figures for the bolt complete, with suitable cloth. We have bought Mr. Barnett out.
Yours, truly,
Jones & Pudney.
One of the Best Smutters and Separators.
West Alexandria, O., Nov. 22, 1869.
Messrs. Nordyke, Marmon & Co.:—
I will write you a few lines and tell you something about that Smutter we bought from you. I can truly recommend it to be one of the best Smutters and Separators that I ever run. I have run a good many Smutters, but never run a machine that pleased me as well as this. It does just right in every way; it can’ be beat.
Yours, truly,
Abraham Weimer, Miller.
Michael Klinger, Proprietor.
Mr. Klinger is using one of our No. 1 Richmond Smut and Separating Machines; also, one of our twenty feet Portable Bolts, complete, and one pair of 42-inch new stock burrs. It is an old mill remodeled.
