Haviug found that no cloth, as generally manufactured, entirely met the wants of cider makers, we have made arrangements by which we have Press Cloths manufactured expressly for this work, extra strong, and of the proper size for the several Presses we make, and can furnish them in quantities to suit upon order, at the following low cash prices: For Wine Press—7 Cloths, 72 inches wide by 102 inches long, at $1.20 each, or by the yard, at 40 cents. For Hand Cider Press—8 Cloths, 84 inches wide by 118 inches long, at $1.65 each, or by the yard, at 45 cents. For Power Cider Press—20 Cloths, 96 inches wide by 126 inches long, at $2.00 each, or by the yard, at 52 cents. Extra Heavy Power Cider Press—20 Cloths, 96 inches wide by 126 inches long, at $2.50 each, or by the yard at 67 cents. The above prices being but a slight advance upon the cost of manufacture, we shall have to insist that cash accompany the order. The size adapted, both Racks and Cloth, will be found under the bead of dimensions of each Press. Sample of Cloth can be obtained upon application.Special Directions. It is extremely necessary that care be taken in the following particulars to ensure safety in operating our power presses :— First—The end of the screw where the power is applied should be protected by a rigid upright post just inside the chain-wheel, against which the small wheel or roller should bear, and thus prevent the pull of the chain or belt from cramping or bending the screw. Second—The Indicator on the head of the press should be so accurately adjusted that the pointer will move freely and is sensitive to the least pressure. Third—Particular attention should be given to oiling, as the great pressure tends to force the oil from between the surfaces, and if neglected or a poor quality of oil is used much power is consumed in overcoming friction, and there is danger of cutting or abrading the surfaces in contact. The nuts on the screw, the collars on screw where they bear against the centre standard, and the ends of the levers both in the nuts and sockets, in fact, wherever moving surfaces are in contact, they should be carefully oiled and watched, especially when the machinery is new. Of course, it is apparent to every one that new machinery should not be started at once upon its best duty, as time must be given the parts to become worn smooth and settled to their several positions.Cider and Wine Presses. 23 Plata for Cider Mill* Having had many inquiries from our customers for plans for a cider mill, or some suggestions to aid them, we re-produce the plans given in our Catalogue for 1879. The plan submitted embraces a mill capable of making a car load of cider in a day, that it may be sent to its destination before fermentation takes place. In the ground plan, Fig. 2, (A), is the Press Room. 28x36 feet, and 12 feet high. The Boiler Room on the side is 10x20 feet, and contains the six-horse power boiler, (B). The Engine (E) is connected by belt with a line shaft in the second story. Fig. 1. The Power Press, (P), including double platform, requires a space 8x19 feet, leaving 6 feet between it and the side of the building occupied by the railroad track, (T), upon which ruus a car to carry off the refuse pomace. The Grater (G) is placed 7 feet from the Press, and about 8 feet above the floor. A shute connects it with the Apple Hopper, which occupies a space 14 feet square on the floor directly above. (MM) is an iron track %x3 inches, suspended from the joists above, extending from either side of the Grater around to and joining over the middle of each cheese. Two Tubs, (T T). each 30 inches diameter and 30 inches deep, are suspended from this track. The Grater is provided with a tilting shute, and the whole arranged so that while one Tub is being filled the other is run to the Press, dumped and back to its place, ready to receive the pomace when its mate is filled. The weight of the Tub when filled is made to tilt the shute, thus accurately weighing the pomace for each layer.Fig. 2. No apples are stored in the building, but in the Bins (0 0) outside. These Bius are 12 feet lone, 3 feet 2 inches wide, and 4 feet 2 inches high—each holding just 100 bushels, or two bushels per inch in depth. Two rows of these are placed one foot apart. The belt carrier (C) runs between them beneath theCider and Wine Presses. 25 Fig. 3. floor to carry the apples into the mill and discharge them into the Hopper on the upper floor. A wagon road extends around the outer ends of the Bins. As each cus-omer arrives, he is directed to a Bin, unloads his apples, levels them, and by marKs in the corners, reads the depth of apples in inches, which doubled gives26 The Boomer & Boschert the number of bushels. If the boards forming: the partitions of Bins are sawed just 10 inches wide, it will facilitate the measurement. The cellar, 25x33 feet, contains six tanks of 3,000 gallons capacity each, and the second floor two of the same size. A tank is also sunk four feet below the cellar bottom, from which a power pump, with 50 feet of inch hose, throws the cider to any part of the building. The line shaft, two inches in diameter, making 250 revolutions per minute, is located eight feet above the upper floor, and sixteen feet from the rear of the mill. It is sometimes economy to rent power in the neighborhood of a cider mill, in which case it is safe to transmit it 1,000 yards with a wire rope 5-8 inch in diameter. In operating this mill but two men are required. They commence in the morniug by layiug the first cheese, which takes from 20 to 30 minutes. While this is pressing, they lay the second, and have nearly an hour spare time, in which one elevates the apples, the other looks after the press, cider, &c. A cheese contains ten layers of eight to ten bushels each. It requires from sixty to ninety minutes to press. The yield should be four gallons per bushel of fifty pounds. From seven to ten pressings are made in ten hours, not including the dinner hour, which may be partially utilized iu pressing. Small Cider Mill for Custom Work The above cut showing a custom mill that can be erected at a small cost, and on level ground, needs little explanation. In excavating for the cellar the dirt is thrown up on each side, so as to form driveways for the delivery of the apples into the doors of the second story, from whence they are shoveled into the grater, suspended under the floor, and being ground, the pomace falls directly on to the platform of the press, or is directed to either end of a Double-Platform by a suitable shute. The lower story is given light and ventilation by a series of doors arranged to be swung inwardly, or may be sided up aud windows put in to suit. Either steam or horse power may be used for grinding and pressing, and in either case the barrels of cider can be loaded into the customers’ wagons by power. It will always be noticed that, other things being equal, the mill having the best conveniences for handling the apples and cider, will draw the most custom aud give the best satisfaction.Cider and Wine Presses. 27 THE TESTIMONY OF THOSE WHO HAVE USED OUR MACHINERY. THE DUFFY CIDER CO , Rochester, N. Y„ the largest cider manufacturers in the United States, have five of our Mammoth Power Presses, giving them a capacity of at least 800 barrels of cider in ten hours. In 1876 we put two of your Power Cider Presses in our mill at New Boston, Madison Co., N. Y. We were much pleased with them and thought there was but little chance for improvement ; but we find the press we purchased of you during the past summer, and used in our mill last fall, to be a great improvement on the others, and desire to express our entire satisfaction with its working. In fact your presses are so immensely superior to any other we have ever used or met with, we do not see how it is possible for any cider maker to compete with the present improved methods of making cider without availing himself of their use. January 7, 1880. HARRISON & CO., New Boston, N. Y. N. B.—Messrs. Harrison & Co. now have five of our Extra Heavy Power Presses. We have two of your Extra Heavy presses in our New York City Mill and four in our Mill here. Also 2 Graters, 3 Pumps, Elevators, &c. During the past season we subjected all to very severe tests and always found them equal to any emergency. February 17, 1881. S. R. & J. C. MOTT, Bouckville, N. Y. The last Cider Press we bought of you (the Extra Heavy,) gives the best satisfaction and best results of any press we ever have used. We think of discarding all of our power screw presses and filling up with your Extra Heavy Presses. We are thoroughly converted to the Boomer & Boschert Press. January 3, 1880. PEET BROS., Bouckville, N. Y. N. B.—Messrs. Peet Bros, now have three of our Extra Heavy Power Presses. It affords me much pleasure to report that the Extra Heavy Press gives entire satisfaction in every respect and particular. I put it to very severe tests, but the staunchness of a perfect construction makes it superior in great strength to all requirements of cider making. I investigated thoroughly before purchasing the merits of all makes and can fully certify 1 believe your build of presses stands without a rival worthy of notice. January 25, 1882. D. K. HALL, Jr., Glen Cove, Queens Co., N. Y. I consider the Extra Heavy Press, &c., I got of you. in advance of any known method for making cider. I have made cider for 26 years and have experimented more or less, besides having visited a good many mills in this and other States, and I feel I can recommend your machinery in preference to all others, and will do all and even more than you claim for it. „ January 28, 1882. E. M. HAYNES, Oxford, N. Y. The Extra Heavy Power Cider Press and Grater I purchased of you last season gives entire satisfaction, and, in my opinion, is the best in the market. I am satisfied had 1 used ycur press when I started in the cider business, in the fall of 1874, I would to day be $10,-000 better off. February 25, 1882, ALLEN H. HEIST, Doylestown, Pa. I think there is no press made that can compare with yours in durability, strength and P°iWe*l- It; gives every one satisfaction that has cider made on it. Your Grater works splendid and I think there is no better one made. I and another man made thirty-one barrels in one day, and attended to the engine besides. January 28, 1882. DANIEL P. SCHMIDT, Moro, I1LThe Power Press bought of you last fall gave good satisfaction, though only worked by hand. Had we had power to work it we are satisfied could have accomplished much more. We shall need another next fall and shall then work them by steam power. The Rack and Cloth system is a success for pressing grapes, leaving the juice free from skins and seeds. The Cloth, although the heaviest you had, does not seem to be strong enough. It requires much more pressure to make a cheese of grapes dry than of apples, and, therefore, requires stronger cloth. We press about 2000 pounds at a time. PLEASANT VALLEY WINE CO., Rheims, N. Y. We have been using your large Power Press for a number of years, and they are, in our judgment, the best press manufactured. We can cheerfully recommend them to all in want of first-class durable presses. We have been using your Grater the past season, and think it as good as any in use. February 6, 1882. CHAS. W. G. NOBLES & SON, Perry, N. Y. The Power Cider Press I purchased of you works to perfection and takes the lead of everything in this part of the country. I had lots of company to see the big press and the new mode of making cider. All the old straw mills closed up but one, and that only run one day in the week. I do not think any will attempt to start next season. I sent some cider to Chicago in the same car with some made in an old fashioned mill, and mine brought one dollar per barrel the most. I have never seen any statement where you rate your machinery too high. I burn my pomace right from the press and have no trouble in keeping steam after using a little wood to raise steam in the morning. January 25, 1882. C. H. EASTMAN, Hudson, Mich. We built a cider mill somewhat after the plan in your circular and had your Power Cider Press with Double Platform, Grater, Elevator, &c., ready for business last fall. The apple crop proved to be light, but we were able to satisfy ourselves that your firm claim only what your machinery is able to perform with ease, and really merits the praise bestowed. January 31, 1882. H. T. & J. B. COATES, Montvale, N. J. With the Extra Heavy Press I can work up more apples, with less labor, and get more cider, than I could with the five old screw presses I formerly used. January 28, 1882. WM. ONYAN, Clinton, N. Y. Your Power Cider Press gives us perfect satisfaction and we are highly pleased with it. It is capable of doing a large amount of work and does it first-class. We are satisfied it will do all you claim. February 9th, 1882. LADD & CLEMENT, Adrian, Mich. The Extra Heavy Press gives entire satisfaction, and I think I shall want another of the same kind the coming spring, to be ready for next season. I also think the Grater cannot be beaten and can cheerfully recommend both Press and Grater. February 22, 1881. B. BORGMAN, Penn Yan, N. Y. The Extra Heavy Press gives satisfaction. We calculated we were getting the best Press in the market and it surpasses our expectations. The Grater has ground 125,000 bushels of apples without repairs except knives, and is the best we know of. It replaced a Jersey. March 4,1881. MILLER & PETTENGILL, Clarendon, N. Y. We take pleasure in saying that the Extra Heavy Press has given entire satisfaction. It is a pleasure to witness the rapidity and ease with which it does its work. We are living in a fast age, but the Boomer & Boschert Power Press is fully up with the times. February 17, 1881. BEACH & CORY, Palatine Bridge, N. Y. The Power Cider Press received from you is in every particular first class, and gives perfect satisfaction. February 24, 1881. JAMES BUNYAN, Cooperstown, N. Y. We have been using your Extra Heavy Power Press the past season, and after thorough investigation, conclude it is the best in the market. February 25, 1881. HONDORF & FISCHER, Rochester, N. Y. The Power Cider Press has proved itself fully up to recommendations as regards cost of running, quantity of cider obtained, and rapidity of doing the work. I think it superior to any Press of which 1 have any knowledge. It is conceded by many that I have the best mill of any one in this vicinity. February 24, 1881. C. D. BRIMMER, Hoosiok, N. Y. I began using your Power Cider Press last September, and it has exceeded my expectation. I have used a number of different kinds of presses and can say without hesitation that yours excels them all. I think the time not far distant when all who are engaged in making cider will find it greatly to their advantage to use your press. I would not part with mine to-day lor $2,000 if 1 could not get another of the same kind to replace it. February 21, 1881. ROSS E. TERRY, Montgomery, N. Y. IThe Double Platform Power Press has given good satisfaction. I have two power screw presses that I liked very well, but can press about double the quantity of cider in a day with same labor on the press I got of you. The elevator works to a charm. Everyone that unloads is perfectly delighted. February 23,1881. E. L. DOLE, Bellevue, Ohio. Please write a recommend to suit yourselves and sign my name to it, for I cannot say half enough in praise of your Grater. March 15, 1882. W. A. NOBLE, Pittsfield, Me. We have in use one of your Power Cider Presses, which gives entire satisfaction, and we do not think we could better ourselves by any exchange. March 1, 1882. EUREKA VINEGAR CO., St. Louis, Mo. We have found your Press satisfactory in every respect. We have visited numerous cider works to ascertain the best press, aud believe yours to be the best in use. March 2, 1882. ALLEN, DAGER & CO., Norwich, Ont. The Hand Cider Press with Power Attachment, Double Platform and Grater I purchased of you last fall, gives entire satisfaction, everything works like a charm. The public have entire confidence in it, and I expect to be largely patronized the coming season. March 3, 1882. JOHN PFRIMMER, Sebringville, Ont. Your Apple Grater does the work complete. Have used several different kinds but never saw any Grinder that does the work as well and with the speed of this one. I am wgII satisfied March 7, 1882. CHARLES MITCHELL, Mill Village, Pa. We take great pleasure in informing you that the Double Platform Cider Press, purchased from you last autumn has given the utmost satisfaction. The quantity of the juice and the cleanliness of the whole operation has pleased every one who has seen it at work. The best tribuie we can pay to its excellence is to inform you that we intend if our trade increases as fast as we anticipate to order another next year. We wish you every success. March 17, 1882. NICKERSON, WILSON & CO., Simcoe, Ont. I bought a Hand Cider Press not expecting to do much owing to the light crop of apples, but I was happily disappointed. I succeeded far beyond my most sanguine expectations. It has taken the work from all the other styles of presses around me, and will make more cider from a given amount of apples than any other press I ever saw, and do it with less labor I have made some of the finest and best quality of cider ever made in Eastern Michigan. I must also add that your Grater is something more than an ordinary machine. It is super extra. It does its work in a superior manner and with much less power than I expected. To sum all up in a few words, “ They are perfection.” I wish to have it distinctly understood that I do not give ray testimonials for the benefit of the manufaciur-ers, but for those that are in want of the best and fastest press made on the American continent. December 14,1881. NOAH BENOIT, New Baltimore, Mich. Your Hand Cider Press with Power Attachment gives perfect satisfaction. 1 think there is no press made to compare with it. I would especially recommend the Power Attachment. It works perfectly even with horse power. I would not make cider without one. February 11, 1882. JOHN G. WARD, Dormansville, N. Y. I did not get a Press of you. It was a Grater, which did its work better than any other Grater I ever saw. February 13, 1882. SETH DONOHUE, Mosiertown, Pa. The Double Platform Press with Power Attachment, purchased of you, has given us entire satisfaction and is the best press with which we are acquainted. January 27, 1882. RYAN BROS., St. Louis. Mo. The Hand Cider Press and Grater gives entire satisfaction; makes better cider and more of it than any other press I have yet seen. January 28, 1882. W. C. STIFF, Burton, Mich. In answer to your inquiry, I beg to inform you that the Wine Press purchased by me is entirely satisfactory. DANIEL AMMEN, January 26,1882. Commodore U. S. Navy, Ammendale, Md. ,^our Press does all you recommend for it. I can make more cider with it than with all three of my old presses. My patrons were much pleased as they saw the cider run from the press, pure and free from pomace. January 30, 1882. MERRETT VAN FLEET, Fleetville, Pa.I have been usiDg one of your Wine Presses for four seasons with Double Platform, and last year added the Power Attachment, and can say in every particular it has given the most perfect satisfaction. Last year I bought one of your Graters, which is the best I ever saw. I am getting new customers every year. I made last year twenty barrels of nice clear cider in four hours. I would not think of making cider on any other kind of a press. January 28, 1882. PORTER A. WRIGHT, Austin, Mich. The Press I bought from you is in operation and gives satisfaction in every respect. It is the pride of the country. September 15, 1881. J. W. SHIRK, Van Wert, Pa. I and all my customers are very well pleased with the Press. The apple crop was very poor, yet I more than cleared its cost. For clean and fast making I do not think it has an equal. I can recommend it with pride and satisfaction without fear of any one being disappointed who buys of you. Jan. 27, 1882. J. W. SHIRK, Van Wert, Pa. I use your Grinder and it is the best one I ever saw. January 27, 1882. GEORGE EUTZLER, Mishawaka, Ind. Some time ago I received the Press bought of you and have tried it thoroughly and am well satisfied with it in every particular. Every one of my customers say it is the best Press they ever saw and will get the most cider from a given amount ot apples. I made 97 gallons from 21 bushels of apples. October 15, 1881. F. M. PHILLIPS, Bemus Point, N. Y. ------- x Your Press runs very easily and does its work effectually. From one lot of apples I made 4% gallons per bushel. The average was sbout 4 gallons per bushel. February 2,1882. EZRA DUTTON, Alliance, Ohio. I am well pleased with the Hand Cider Press. It will do all you recommend and no man can afford to use a common press if they have 1,000 barrels of cider to make, for the difference in the amount of cider will pay for the press. Your Grater is perfection itself. I cannot see any possible chance to improve it. January 31, 1882. C. L. DOUGLASS, Smethport, Pa. I can say nothing more than any man could say if he spoke conscienciously, that it is best press I ever saw, and its record shows this to be correct. January 26, 1882. M. A. HANFORD, Lewisboro, N. Y. We are very much pleased with the Press got of you and the Elevator fcas also given entire satisfaction. We shall require one or two large presses next fall and will by all odds give you our order. January 27. 1882. LEAVENS & CORBY, Belleville, Ont. Your Press and Grater gives perfect satisfaction, and I consider them as near perfect as pcssible, January 26. 1882. E. B. HARRIS, Danbury, Conn. We are pleased with your Press. It did good work and all my customers were well pleased and will come again. February 6, 1882. ANTON GANGLER, Wexford, Pa. I used the Grater and it worked to perfection, and, in my opinion, could not be beaten. January 80, 1882. D. F. BARTSHE, Fulton, Mich. I like the Hand Cider Press and fixtures. It has always done good work and gained many friends. I like the way you do your work. The press came here all apart, but it went together without the least trouble and not a bolt, nut or screw lacking. February 20, 1882. JOHN S. WRIGHT, Diamond, Pa. The Wine Press suits us better than we expected. We can make double the amount of cider tbat you claim for it. But very few brought barrels enough. Some of them have had cider made for twenty years and were surprised at the yield. I am not perfectly satisfied whether the credit is due to the Press or the Grater, but think one helps the other. I have heard old cider men say they never saw such good cider in their lives. We have racked off barrels of our last seasons make and the last pint was clear. February 27, 1882. F. C. STAHELIN, Bridgman, Mich. I bought one of your Graters last fall and find it fully up to expectations. It grates very fine and I think adds one gallon to the bushel. February 17, 1882. STEPHEN MOORE, Woodbury, N. J. We are using one of your Graters and will say that it does its work very complete, in fact much better than any we have yet used, and would recommend its general use. January 26, 1882. F. & J. HEINZ, 168 Second Ave., Pittsburg, Pa.Cider and Wine Presses. 31 Three years ago I concluded to go into the cider business and bought a press with 2 wrought iron screws, 3 inch diam with fine thread. I think [it was the best screw press I ever used. I found I could not do all my work on it and so having bought one of your Graters which worked so much better than I expected I concluded last year to get a set of your Hand Cider Irons and wood the press myself. I have had a good deal of experience in machinery and I think I never saw a better working machine. There have been hundreds of people here to see it and they all admit it is the best press they ever saw. January 20, 1882. W. H. BRAYMER, Cochranton, Pa. The Hand Cider Press, with Power Attachment and Double Platform, gave good satisfaction. My customers say it is ahead of anything they ever saw, that they get more cider, and that it is cleaner and more free from pomace than any they have ever had before. 1 had circulars from other makers, but have been a millwright too long to choose a press with so much rigging as some of them have got. Your press is so simple, strong and convenient that one man can make more cider with it than half a dozen can on any other press I ever saw. I thought when I examined your circulars that your price was large, but when I got your press up I was satisfied I had not paid too much, and after I had used it a few days I was still better satisfied and could not ask for anything better. February 8, 1882. JOSEPH H. HAUCK, Sterrettauia, Pa. The Hand Cider Press and Grater I bought of you last fall gives perfect satisfaction. 1 was happily surprised with the easy working of both Press and Grater, the amount of cider from a given quantity of apples, superior quality, and amount of work accomplished per day. I do not hesitate in recommending them to all. January 28, 1882. IRA W. WEST, LaFayette, N. Y. After using your Power Cider Press for four years I am satisfied it has no equal. January 30, 1882. E. R. CLEVELAND, Unionville, Ohio. The Wine Press gives entire satisfaction to me and all of my patrons, The cider made on your press keeps better and is cleaner than any made with straw. My yield is 4 to gallons per bushel. My custom increased 25 per cent after I got your press. HENRY STREETER, Coopersville, Mich. The Wine Press with Power Attachment has done all you recommended. We have made 30 to 35 barrels of cider per day right along and would venture to say we could make 40 or 45 barrels in 12 hours. Before we got your Press and Grater we had 8 old fashioned presses and 3 wooden graters. We can now make more cider in a day than we could with all our old machinery and with half the work. My customers are all pleased with our new press and say it takes all the cider out of the apples. We can recommend your machinery to all who wish to purchase. McQUISTON & SIMMONS. Atlantic,IPa. The Hand Cider Press gave entire satisfaction to my customers and myself. I did not get it until Oct. 12th, and made but one month, but the extra yield of your press and the extra custom received by having it has nearly paid for the press this season. January 28, 1882. JONATHAN GIDLEY, Arthursburg, N. Y. Enclosed I send you check for $45.00, amount due you for Apple Grater. I have worked at the cider business for 23 years and have examined and used a number of machines and yours is the most perfect in all respects that I have ever seen. We grind at the rate of 120 bushels per hour, with a pair of light horses, and do it with ease. September 19, 1881. THOS. W. ATKINSON, Clifford, Pa. We used your Hand Cider Press with Power Attachment the past season and were highly pleased with them, as well as with the Pump and Grater. We intend to add the Double Platform the coming season, and will then have a No. 1 mill for custom work and jelly factory. February 13, 1882. LAMB & SQUIRES, Townville, Pa. The Cider Press I bought of you in 1880 pleased me so well that last fall I bought your Grater and it is a marvel of success. It grinds very fast, leaving no small pieces of apples to go on the poraaco pile, but apparently bursting every cell in the apples and thereby letting the juice escape easily. For strength, service and durability of your machinery, could make no suggestions for improvement. January 28, 1882. ELLIS RANDALL, Aroma, Ind. After using your Hand Cider Press with Power Attachment, I do not hesitate in saying that it is the most complete arrangement for cider making that I ever have seen. It is easy to operate and saves at least ten per cent over the ordinary way of making cider. I have never run my press to its full capacity, but I consider it capable of making one hundred barrels per day. January 25, 1882. H. M. LOWELL, Middlebury Center, Pa. We are very much pleased with your Press and Grater. We shall want the Double Platform the coming season. January 26, 1882, J. M. LOOSE & CO., Monroe, Mich.I have been in the cider business for nineteen years, and the Hand Cider Press that I bought of you last fall is the best I have ever seen. February 8, 1882. NATHANIEL METSKER, Churubusco, Ind. I have used your Wine Press the past season with perfect satisfaction. The Grater works splendidly. I think the Double Platform doubles the capacity of the press. February 6, 1882. D. H. McCRILLIS, Tryonville, Pa. We are more than pleased with the Hand Cider Press we received of you. Our customers say they never saw such cider as we made. Your Grater is pronounced by all to be the best they ever saw. February 4, 1882, SYLVESTER CURRY, Edgerton, Ohio. I have used one of your Graters and am highly pleased with the quality of its work. February 15, 1682. H. B. TALLMAN, Tecumseh, Mich. I have been using one of your Presses for five years, and last season ordered the second one together with Power Attachment and Grater. They all come up to your recommendation and I can do double the work that you rate them at. February 2, 1882. FRANK O. LEE, Fluvanna, N. Y. The Double Platform Hand Cider Press I purchased of you last fall has created a revolution in cider making in this vicinity. The farmers were only too glad to receive four gallons of cider per bushel of apples, and in most cases could take their cider home when they brought the apples, thereby saving an extra trip. February 19, 188i. JOSEPH J. DEUD, New Buffalo, Mich. It is in every respect the most perfect Press I ever saw, and does its work well and with little labor. The Grater is a No. 1 piece of machinery. February 6, 1882. C. L. BAUGHER, Lyona, Pa Your Power Cider Press is all it is recommended to be. It gives perfect satisfaction, doing its work well with only “green hands ” to run it. It constantly recommends itself. February 9, 1882. GEORGE KINGSLEY, Waterford, Pa. The Wine Press, Grater, &c., I bought of you last fall, proved to be first-class in all respects. For perfection, cleanliness and speed I never saw their equal, and I have had considerable experience in making cider with other presses. February 14, 1882. C. C. KEAN, Dempseytown, Pa. I have been using your Press and Attachments in my “ City Cider Mills ” with very great satisfaction to myself and customers. For simplicity of construction and work, for economy and cleanliness it is unsurpassed. I have used or seen used almost every cider press in the market, and I cheerfully record my belief from a practical knowledge, that it is the best cider press in the country—including its Racks, Cloths and Grater. January 31, 1882. ANDREW J. WILSON, Watertown, N. Y. It affords us pleasure to inform you that the Hand Cider Press and other machinery we purchased of you gives perfect satisfaction. January 3 , 1882. ROWELL & CROSS, Duplain, Mich. The Wine Press I bought of you has done the work as recommended. You will remember I enquired if your Grater would answer for grapes, and you could not answer positively that it would. My experience is that it can be so adjusted that it washes them well and without cutting the seeds. January 30, 1882. A. C. COTTON, Vineland, N. J. The Hand Cider Press, Power Attachment and Grater are certainly the best apparatus for cider making that can be got up for capacity and cleanness. All my customers say it is the press to patronize. They were all disappointed by not bringing barrels enough for their cider, as i hey counted on the old way of making. February 1, 1882. J. A. BETTEKER, Clark, Pa. The Hand Cider Press, Power Attachment and Grater all work well. As I never saw any of your machinery until this. I must say it is better made and does better work than I expected. 1 can make more cider for an average day’s work, on a single platform, than you claim as the capacity of the double. Men having beam and screw presses bring their apples to my mill. My customers say I have cider making to perfection. January 30, 1881. JOHN C. PENN, Camden, Ind. The Cider Press and Grater, purchased of you last fall, has proven altogether satisfactory. Before deciding upon a press for our factory, the writer spent some time in visiting different presses in the State, and finally decided in favor of yours. In our judgment, it is by far the best we know of, and we heartily recommend it to those contemplating the purchase of a press. CURTISS & LEWIS, February 11, 1882. Manufacturers “Pacific Evaporator,” Buffalo, N. Y.Your Power Cider Press is all that you claim for it, giving satisfaction in every particular. You Grater is the best we have ever used. February 6, 1882. CARROLL WIRICK & CO., Clarksville, Mo. I am well pleased with the Press. I have owned other presses, but never have seen any equal to yours—in fact I could hardly do without it. February 3, 1882. JOHN HEYLER, Nauvoo, Pa. Your Power Press is the best we have ever seen. It will produce ten barrels of cider every hour with proper management, and if we get a good crop of apples this year I want one more of the same kind. JOHN B. NETSCHER, Mansfield Ohio. I am well satisfied with the Power Cider Press and Grater, and am gratified that no man had cider made but went away well satisfied with the results of its working and the extra yield of juice. February 23, 1881. JOHN HARTSOCK, Liberty, Pa. The Power Cider Press and Grater are very satisfactory. I made about 5,000 barrels of cider. It will make any cider maker happy to throw away his old screw presses and put in one of yours. February 20, 1881. A. C. DUBOIS, Bankers, Mich. Your Double Platform Power Press has outdone my expectations, and I would recommend it as the cheapest, cleanest, and in fact the only right way to make cider. March 31,1881. DAVID HENNING, Ypsilanti, Mich. The Power Cider Press and Grater has given entire satisfaction, and is everything you claimed for it. I want no better. April 14, 1881. HENRY ROGGE, Carlinville, 111. The Power Cider Press gave entire satisfaction. I use horse-power and find that five men will work up 700 or 800 bushels per day easily, and do the work well. Last season I made up about 28,0t0 bushels. February 21,1881. F. C. JOHNSON, Kishwaukee, 111. I purchased one of your Hand Cider Presses and Graters last fall, and as I see no recommends in your catalogue from Kentucky, I concluded some of my neighbors would certainly purchase if they knew of your machinery and its great excellence. February 24, 1881. E. D. POWELL, Smith’s Mills, Ky. The Hand Cider Press with Double Platform and Power Attachment, fully came up in every respect to everything you claimed for it. We could not possibly do without it and make a success <>f the manufacture of cider. February 16, 1881. FARRELL BROS.. Leavenworth, Kansas. I am well pleased with both Press and Grater. Before I bought your press we used a Hydraulic, but it did not suit my customers at all. I found your press far the best. Two men can make more cider in one day than four men can with any other press I ever saw. March 6, 1881. E. KEPLER, East Liberty, Ohio. Before purchasing your Press, we looked the different presses of the county over and are now more than ever convinced yours is the best in existence. We see nothing about it but what is complete. February 16, 1881. HANNAH LAY & CO., Traverse, Mich. The Hand Cider Press is just what every cider maker wants, whether he makes 500 or 5,000 barrels in a season. My custom was double what it ever was before. February 17, 1881. G. A. GREEN, Kent, Ohio. The Power Cider Press seems to be perfection, and is far ahead of anything j have ever seen February 17, 1881. PETER GARLOCK, Newark, N. Y. The Power Press we got of you last season gives entire satisfaction. More so than we had looked for. It will make from 10 to 12 barrels per hour with ease. We made 3,650 barrels of custom work, and in five days made 530 barrels. In one day of 13 hours made 126 barrels with three men. February 15,1881. D. D. MYERS & CO., Hinesville, Ohio. The Wine Press and Grater give universal satisfaction. I am satisfied they will do all and more than you advertise them to do. February 16, 1881. J. F. PAUL, Dorr, Mich.I can safely say your Hand Cider Press and Power Attachment beats any Press I have ever seen or used. February 17,1881. J. H. W. MUMMA, Dayton, Ohio. The Hand Cider Press gave entire satisfaction, and I want no other. With one m«.n to ‘ fire, run the engine, wheel pomace, etc., I made 79 barrels in a day, and during the season * 70,000 gallons. February 16, 1881. J. W. BUCK, Alliance,«pbio. 4 The Hand Cider Press 'gives entire satisfaction in every particular. Some of my neighbors thought I was wild in paying so high a price for the Grater and Press. But ► when they saw what could be done with them, they changed their minds, and now think p them about perfection. From good apples we could get gallons to the bushel, and . sometimes as high as 5 gallons. February 15,1881. R. F. POPE, Kinmun'5" Jr The Wine Press, with Power Attachment and Double Platform, works to ,«sC sanguine expectations. The Grater works to a charm,—grinds so fast and so s to astonish everybody.

I had customers come 12 miles passing other mills and paying me more for making. March 10, 1881. JOSEPH WIANT, Westville, Ohio. Yours is a first-class mill in every respect, and does the work as recommended. I made 1810 barrels, and could hare made much more, had not the cold weather caught us so unexpectedly. ANDREW BRAMBAUGH Hartville, Ohio. I have been using your Cider Presses for three years. Last fall I purchased one oi your Power Presses. It gave good satisfaction, doing $1,200 worth of wc"k. J. A. KELLOGG, Montgomery station, Mich. The Hand Cider Double Platform Press has now been in use six months steady, as I am making cider this winter. To say that I am pleased with it, would not.b . state the facts. I havo often pressed out 500 bushels of apples in 12 hours. ‘ , ^ February 10, 1861. CHAS. PLASF U. Mich. > „ We are well pleased with our Wine Press and Grinder. Although st in the midst of a number of old style mills we were able to control the I business and made 30,000 gallons of cider, all custom work. Old cj(, have the best rig they ever saw. We did all our grinding with one tear" work was 1,000 gallons in 9 hours. February 18, 1881. MEAD & SAUfr ' In the fall of 1879 I bought and used one of your Graters. I liked i eluded I must have a Press too. So last fall I bought a Hand Cide Platform and Power Attachment, and find they will justify all yi. .a more. February 2, 1881. J. F. WAYLAND, Cove^ k Virginia. The Hand Cider Press with Double Platform and Power Attach jnt has gone beyond our expectations. Our work was confined to custom, and we made as high as 71 barrels a day, making cheeses running from 1 to 6 barrels. We made in the season 2,260 barrels of cider. Your Grater is far ahead of anything we have ever seen and will pay for itself in one season. February 19, 1881. C. H. WELDON & CO., Springport, Mich. I will give my opinion of your machinery, not for the benefit of the manufacturers, but for that of the users. I would say to any one in want of a Press to buy yours. And be sure and get the Double Platform and Power Attachment, even if you are doing a small business, for your business will increase beyond your expectations. I last season cleared my Press and all the cost of running. February 28, 1881. J. W. ARNOLD, Dayton, Ohio. We used your Wine Press the past season and consider it a model of perfection. It is worth any three of the Round Hoop Presses I ever saw. April 3, 1882. PULTNEY WINE CO., J. S. Foster, Superintendent, Pultney, N.
