Messrs. Nordyke, Marmon & Co.—
Gentlemen:—Having had one of your corn mills in use about six months, we take pleasure in saying that it gives good satisfaction in every particular. We can make about 30 bushels of meal per hour on this mill. The quality of the meal being superior to and more evenly ground than any we have been able to make heretofore on other mills. The sharpness and the temper of the burrs is certainly superior to any that we have ever seen or used, and we cheerfully recommend your mills to any one wishing to purchase a good article.
Very truly, yours,
Daggett, Martin & Co.

Nordyke, Marmon & Co.—
Gentlemen:—I would answer to your letter of inquiry and say that your oil bush, self-tramming driving irons are the things that have long been wanted to do perfect milling. The burrs, spindles, bolting cloths, shafting, gearing, and all the works you sent and made for me to complete my mill of three run of stones can’ be surpassed, and I invite all parties wishing to build to call and examine, knowing they will give you the preference.
Yours, truly,
C. B. Jones.
