specification of the machinery as made by the Allis—Chalmers Co.
Of course you are not expectinp us to go strictly to what they have in

the mill, but give you a line of machinery tnat will make as good
a yield, quantity and quality flour in every respect, from the
same amount of weight. The writer will probably be down Paris in
a day or eo. In this case he will call on you.

Gentlemen:-
In the specification which you sent us we see two ·
friction clutch dodges,°one 24 and the other one 18. Will you
` kindly advise us on what size shaft those friction clutch couplings
go and also give the speed of the shaft, which is the only way
we can figure the right size of clutch coupling to be used. Also
give us the size of shaft for which you want the friction clutch
pulley and spped of same.
Thanking you in advance for the information, we remain, L
Yours truly, X

Gentlemen:-
We have shipped about a month ago to the Peacock _
Distillery Co. two of our 9 x BO" roller mills which are now run-
nmng in the distillery. Should you have a chance to have a man
pass by the place, which is only four miles from Paris. It would
give you a chance to see the nicest new millémade of second hand
machinery that you ever saw. You would not need to tell the
parties that the mills are second hand as while they know it,
they do not care about any one else finding it out. We do not
think ourselves that any one,unless told, could ever see the difference
between those mills and new mills.
We are writing this to you privately as we are not sure if
you want to use those kind of mills or not. Are only writing in
case you were to decide afterwards to use some of these mills.
Yours truly,
STRAUB MAQNINERY CO.

Gentlemen:-
ln reference to your favor of the loth and your con-
vorstion over the 'phone with the writer today, we are taking
the liberty of calling your attention to a few facts in refer-
ence to "The standard" scales.
The scales which you mentioned to the writer, in the first
place, are virtually one and the same, as they are all controlled
bv the combination and "The Standard" is the only scale manufact-
.1 2
urea in this country which is strictly high grade and ajapteo for
all classes of work, that is not controlled by any trust, conbin~
ation or pool.
as far as the scales being used P, Hdll ¤rntractors,
and in Fact, contractors in various lines, me beg to state
that Nordyke & Norman have instructed their salesmen and sales
aaencies to in all cases siecifr "The Standard". Ther are also
C J . J
uses exclusively by Wolf Bros. and Allis—Chalners, Vilwankoe,
and numerous other contractors in general lines.
As far as quality, accuracy and durability of these machines
are concernel, we are willing to let you write your own guarantee “
on them, ana we will sign anything within reason.

Gentlemen:-
We have your kind favor of the lOth, and in reply
will say that if Mr. Slicer yoes to the Peacock Distillery Co. `
he will find the Bradford Mill there fitted up with short drive
on the slow side of the mill, but you understand that in the
building ofyour mill the tightener part would sit on the frame A l
on the slow side can be dispensed with and any style of drive made
you prefer to have both fast and slow roll driven from the main
shaft same as the style "C" drive in Barnard & Leas Catalor,
we aan put said drive in the mill without any extra charge. lt
might be a good idea to advise Mr. Slicer when at the Peacock Dis-
tillery to only look at the mill part of the distillery as the other

part might be dangerous.

We are in receipt of information that you are dbout to erect
a new plant and will require   Feed Water Heater. For this reason we
beg to call your attention to the fact that we manufacture the "LOFIW"
Feed Water Heater, both Open and Closed type.
If you are in the market for either style of Heater, and
will be kind enough to mail us your specifications on same, we will
be more than pleased to hand you a proposition for the same. We believe
we can make you a price which will be highly interesting, and that our
goods will prove themselves to be without an equal on the market.

Gentlemen:-
We acknowledge with thanks receipt
of your letter of January Blst and beg to advise
that while we are working on a new 4-Valve engine,
we have no printed matter for distribution, in V
fact, we have not gotten the first engine started,
but we have the patterns nearly out and some of the
castings mane. This engine will he as economical
as a Corliss engine and will operate with less
expense for maintenance, but inasmuch as we have not
the engine to offer at the present time, we cannot
say very much about it.
We will mail you under separate cover, catalogue
descriptive of our present Four Valve engine and
we will guarantee for this, economy equal to the
best type of Corliss or in other words, we will
guarantee the engine will not consume to exceed 26-#

of ary steam per l.H.P. per hour et reteu capacity. I
If you will kindly state to us your operating
conditions, we shell be pleased to make you e
proposition on one of air 4-Valve engines.
We wish to state that the only reason we have
for getting out e new type of 4-Valve engine is due
to the feet that steam pressures have been raised
in s great many instances from lOO;¢ to 175%. we
cen build our 4-Valve engine for l50·# working pressure
where we know in advance that such a pressure will
be requireu, the ordinary engine being built for
