INTRODUCTORY.
Table of Contents
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.
THE FOLLOWING POINTS
have claimed our special study to obtain the best results in the different locations, and purposes required.
1st. The best wheat scouring and separating machinery.
2d. The quality of burr stones required, best speed, draft and form of furrows, and best mode of driving them.
3d. Numbers of cloth, amount of bolting surface required, best arrangement of numbers, &c.
4th. Propriety of regrinding, how best to grade the offal for this purpose, as well as other requirements of flour mills.
COMBINED HUSKS
with two to four run of stones varying from two to four feet diameter, and all in one substantial frame, spindles being long and arranged for the gearing and lower part of husk to be in the basement of the mill-house on an independent foundation, are made complete in our works, carefully put up and adjusted, marked, taken apart, small pieces boxed and otherwise prepared for shipment and ease of putting up. This plan was first adopted by us in the year 1867; since that time we have put out considerably over one hundred run of stone on this plan, all receiving the highest commendations of the owners.
OUR PORTABLE MILLS
are in extensive use, but by careful observation we have found the means of improvement, and within the last few years have revised our patterns, and we say, with entire confidence, all things being considered, that we make the best heavy husk portable mill in the market, they having none of the objectionable features so common in mills of this class.
PARTICULAR ATTENTION
is directed to OUR COMPLETE GRINDING AND BOLTING FLOUR MILL adapted to the special demands of a custom mill. Those now made have all the improvements of value to the present date, and furnished at a price so reasonable that every town or neighborhood of sufficient demands can be supplied; good flour and yield guaranteed.
SELF TRAMMING, DRIVING AND BALANCE IRONS
as improved, are extensively used, and in brisk demand. These are no new and doubtful experiment. See the cuts and description, and the defects of other modes of driving irons will readily be understood. We are prepared to execute
DRAWINGS AND PLANS
with description, bills of material required in the construction of mill-house all ready to receive the machinery, showing also the location of mills and machinery in the building. This is of special advantage, as it can be turned over to the carpenter or contractor for execution, thus saving trouble in knowing the cost before you begin, as well as knowing where to strike.
OUR ADVANTAGES.
Our whole attention is devoted to this particular line of manufacturing, with special tools, machinery and permanent buildings built and adapted expressly for the purpose, at a great expense. We are thus enabled to conduct with system and accuracy the production of good work. We have advantages in location, as a glance at a map of the States will show; we are central, in ready access to lumber, coal and iron, (other makers both east and west of us are supplied in a great measure, some altogether, with hard lumber from our State.) We have good Railroad shipping facilities in all directions, and purchasers can have their work safely delivered almost at their own doors at low shipping rates.
With these advantages we are able to compete with any factory, east or west, saving time, money and risk to the purchaser.

[Image not available]FACE OF MILL STONE.
This is one of the specialties of our business. It has been built up from small beginnings to one of the largest west of New York. We keep a large stock of burr blocks from which to make selections. Hence if we should not have on hands, built up, the sized stone or quality that is wanted, we can give our customers just what they need on very short notice. Our facilities for turning out first-class work of this kind, are equal to any in the west. Having in our employ men experienced in the manufacture and use of burrs, we are able to furnish our customers just the quality of goods they need for their particular class of work.
[Image not available]BACK OF STONE.
We are well aware of the importance of a good mill stone to profitably flour wheat, and give this department the most careful attention. For a description of our method of building and backing up runner stones, we refer the reader to the article following, under the head of Building and Balancing Runner Stones.
Where our customers prefer to do all the mill-wright work in their mill, we are prepared to make in addition to the burrs, such shafting, gearing, spindles, irons and machinery as they may need.
Building and Balancing Stones.
Table of Contents
We put all runner stones on a point or cock-head, and keep them in balance while backing up;
consequently they are as near in standing and running balance as they can be, by this means. We have testimony to the fact, that a number of stones we have made (all balanced upon the old plan of a cock-head at the center,) are in such perfect balance that if the wheat is exhausted in the hopper, the face of the runner will not touch the bed-stone. The importance of balancing on the true principle, is mostly overlooked. In a mill properly balanced, the stones will keep a better grinding face with one-half the time and labor required if they are not thus balanced. Particular attention must be paid to keeping the runner in balance, as after leaving our works, the cement dries out in such a manner as to sometimes throw the runner out of both standing and running balance. For a description of the means we provide to do this important work of balancing, see the cuts and description under head of Standing and Running Balance.
We put iron backs on our under-runners, to protect the stone from wearing out of balance.
Standing and Running Balance.
Table of Contents
Millers as a rule know that a stone in standing balance is not always in running balance, and vice versa, yet they are well aware that a stone should be in both. The reason these two balances do not always exist at the same time, or why the light side of a stone standing should seem the heavy side on running, is not clearly understood, and hence the difficulty in obviating the trouble. The importance of a correct standing balance and at the same time a true running balance, cannot
