The attention of all parties interested in the pressing or compressing of Hay, Cotton, Hkmp, Wool, Rags, Hops, or any other article required to be baled for Transportation,Storage or Consump tion, is respectfully solicited, to the PORTABLE or STATIONARY PRESSES, manufactured by this Company, under the superintendence oi the Patentee, Mr. John H. Gove The Press is very simple in its construction, re quiring but ordinary intelligence to work it, md can be operated by any known power, suhas Steam, Water, Horse or Hand. In using Horse power but one horse is required, the Press being so mechanically constructed on a well-known principle that the SW~ poicer increases in a greater ratio than the increasing resistance, arfl The advantages of this Press over all others are as follows, viz; Ist. It can press 20 per cent more material in a given space. 2d. It can do the work in 33 per centless time. 3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power. 4th. It turns out the best shaped bale lor hand ling or rolling. sth. The Press will last a life-time, «he work ing parts being built of the best of iron, and not liable to get out of order. * The ordinary work of this machine will press in one operation ("after once filling the box of the No. 1 Press) a bale of Hay of 460 lbs. weight in Minutes.. am Four men and one horse can bale 12 tons of Hay a day. Four men without the aid of a horse, or any power except that contained in the "ress, can turn out a bale of nay 2* inches square by 46 inch es long, weighing 460 lbs , or 23 1-2 lbs. to the cu bic foot. No toggle joints, screws, cog-wheels, beaters or rollers used in this Press. The attention of Cotton factors and planters, Wool and Hemp raisers, is especially called to this Press, destined as it is to work a complete revolution in the now slow, clumsy and expen sive method of baling. The Company will dispose of Town, County or State rights (reserving to themselves only *the right to manufacture) on reasonable terms. Mr. N. D. Fisher is the authorized Traveling Agent for the Company in the Easters and Mid die States. For further particulars send for circulars.
