EXCELSIOR
PLANTATION MILL,
Made of the Best French Burr Stone.
This unique invention is now acknowledged to be the best Mill in the
market. It is in use in most of the Southern States, and winning golden
opinions. As a Feed Mill, no other will compare with it, and it does as
much work as the flat stone mill, with only one half the power. No gearing
is required to set it up, simply a belt connecting with the horse, water,
or steam power; it is compact and perfectly simple. No skill is required
to keep it in order; and it will last a life-time.
No. 1 Mill will grind from 8 to 20 bushels the hour. No. 2 will grind
from 10 to 30 bushels the hour. No. 3 will "grind from 12 to 40 bushels
the hour, with water or steam power.
Two horses working on our Gin Power, and driving No. 1 Mill, will
grind 4 bushels Corn Meal the hour, or 10 bushels Feed, with the greatest
ease.
PRICES.
