LEAD WHAT PLANTERS SAY OF IT
THE SMITH PRESS
FROYED TO BE ALL THAT COULD BE DESIRED.
Crawfordville, Ga., Feb. Ist, 1875.
Meurn. Pollard Cos. Gentlemen: The Smith
Hand Power Cotton and Hay Press, bought of you
last fall, has proved to be all that co id be desired.
Two hands can pack a bale of coUou, weighing
from five to six hundred pounds, in a few minutes
In construction it is very simple and durable, and
is in every way adapted to the wants of Southern
farmers. Two of my neighbors bought the Smith
Press, and both are perfectly satisfied. One of
them says it is perfect. To all those needing a
Press I can recommend the Smith Press as one that
will give entire satisfaction.
Respectfully, W. C. RHODES.
How blest the Farmers simple life!
How pure the joy it yields!
Far from the world’s tempestuous strife,
Free ’mid the scented fields!
THE SMITH PRESS
TWO HANDS. AVERAGE WEIGHT OF ONE HUNDRED
AND FORTY POUNDS EACH. EASILY PACKED EIGHT
BALES PER DAY. SOME AS HEAVY AS FIVE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS.
Martin’s Depot, S. C., Jan. 2ist, 1875.
Messrs. Pollard & Cos., Augusta, Ga. Gents:
The Smith Cotton Press, purchased from your
agents, Messrs. Mayes & Martin, has proven to be
all that it is recommended, if not more so. I have
this year been running a traveling gin, and have
moved the Press from place to place, and find no
difficulty in taking it down or putting it up. I have
packed over 300 bales, and no part of it has given
way, most of the packing being done by raw hands.
I find, after showing them how to pack the first
bale, they become adepts. With two bands, of an
average weight of 140 pounds, I easily packed eight
bales per day, some weighing over 560 pounds. I
find that in easing the Press it is best to remove
both top pawls, and raise both levers at the same
time. Having used the Utley Press last season, I
can safely say that there is no comparison, in my
estimation, and shall recommend yours as the best
Hand Lever Press I ever saw in operation, both as
to case and safety to packer.
Respectfully, J. L. SPEAKE, M. D.
Posthumous charities are the very essence of
elfishness, when bequeathed by those who, when
alive, would part with nothing.
THE SMITH PRESS
THERE IS NO LANGUAGE SUFFICIENT TO EXPRESS
\j Y like AND ESTEEM FOR THE SMITH COTTON
PRESS.
Columbia, Cos., Ga., Jan. 24, 1875.
Messrs. Pollard & Cos. G*m{s: In reply to your
letter, received a few days since, asking my opinion
of t lie Smith Cotton Press, its durability, etc., I can
safeh say that there is no language sufficient to ex
press my like and esteem of the Smith Cotton Press.
Ha ving used it last season, I am fully satisfied that
there is no other Press that can equal it for dura
bility or ease. I will also say that I can pack a
bale of cotton quicker with it than any other Press
or screw now in use chat I have ever seen.
Respectfully, JOSEPH 11. IVEY.
THE SMITH PRESS
HAVE USED ONE WITH PERFECT SATISFACTION-ALL
ARE PLEASED WHO SEE IT WORK.
Hunt’s Station, Tenn., Feb. 2. 1875.
Messrs. Pollard <5 Co s, Augusta, Ga. Gents: I
do not hesitate in saying that Smith’s Improved
Hand Power Cotton and Hay Press is a success. I
have used one with perfect satisfaction There is
no difficulty in operating it with unskilled hands.
lls construction is simple, durable and practicable,
and the concentration of its great power is so truly
gratifying that all are pleased who see its work.
THOS. GORE.
The superiority of some men is merely local.
They are great, because their associates are little.
THE SMITH PRESS
TAKE PLEASURE IN RECOMMENDING IT TO ALL
PLANTERS AS THE CHEAPEST AND BEST IN USE.
Penfield, Ga., Jan. 18, 1875.
Messrs. Pollard dk Cos. Dear Sirs: The
Smith Cotton Press I bought of you last fall has
given great satisfaction. I have packed about
fifty bales of cotton, and no part of it has got
out of order, or given any trouble. I believe
that three hands can easily pack a live hundred
pound bale in fifteen minutes, and owing to its
strength, durability and ease, by which it can
be operated, I consider it the best Press 1 ever
saw, and take pleasure in recommending it to
all planters as the cheapest and best Press now
in use. Yours Truly, O. THOMPSON.
THE SMITH PRESS
C\N SEE NO ADDITION THAT CAN BE MADE FOR
i ain aw THE BETTER.
Gunn’s Mill, January 20th, 1875.
Messrs. Pollard db Cos. Gents: Yours of re
cent date, asking my opinion of the Smith Cot
ton Press, is at hand. I consider it superior
to the best of all that I have seen. The teeth
of the upright bars of the first sent out, were
too small. Your improvement in that particular,
lias made the Press perfect. The ease and fa
cility, surpass everything of the kind in use. I
see no addition that can be made for the better.
Yours Truly, S. L. WRIGHT.
That was excellently observed, say I. when I
read a passage in an author where his opinion
agrees with mine.
THE SMITH PRESS
WOULD NOT DO WITHOUT MINE FOR ANY
REASONABLE CONSIDERATION.
Cedar Bluff, Ala., January 28th, 1875.
Messrs. Pollard & Go., Augusta, Ga. Sirs:
1 purchased of Messrs. Howell Williamson,
Home, Ga., one of Smith’s Improved Hand
Power Cotton and Hay Presses. We packed
_ jrtv odd bales of cotton this season, and I pro
nounce it the best Press I ever saw. I let my
neighbor have it to press some two hundred bales
of Hav, and he agrees with me as to its merits.
Wc naek a bale of cotton weighing five hundred
pounds, with two hands, and* with perfect ease,
and in less time than any Press I know. It is
perfectly- simple in construction, and as for du
rability, 1 think it has no superior. In short,
I think it is the Press. I would not do without
mine for any reasonable consideration.
Yours respectfully, JNO. B. HARDWICK.
THE SMITH PRESS
IN USE FOUR YEARS, AS GOOD AS WHEN FIRST
BOUGHT. CANNOT BE SURPASSED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Langley, S. C., February Ist, 1575.
Messrs. Pollard & Cos. Gentlemen: Your
fa or of January 16th, is before me, and con
tents noted. In regard to the Smith Press, I
would say, that we have had one working for
the last four years, and is in just as good order
as when first bought. The Smith Press, for ra
pidity of work, cannot be surpassed in the Uni
ted States, also for durability. I would further
state, that the great advantage of this Press,
over all other Presses, is economy of room, and
does not reouire skilled labor to work it.

not at all so in "his case, for the Smith Press I
purchased of you has given such universal sat

Messrs. Pollard db Go. Dear Sirs: I have
used one of Smith’s Hand Power Cotton and
Hay Presses this season, and it affords me great
pleasure to state that I am highly pleased with
its operations. It has performed all that you
promised it should do. It is easily and rapidly
operated, even with unskilled labor. The most
ignorant and stupid hands soon learn to operate
it. Its construction is very simple, combined
with durability. It has great concentration of
power, and it is w r ell adapted to the wants of the
planting community. Yours truly.

To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN \ I
After a thorough and critical examination of every part of the construiition and operation
of Smith's recently Improved Hand Power Cotton and Hay Press, we cheerfully state this to be
our candid judgment, that the “ Smith Press,” as now being built by Messrs. Nijblett & Goodrich,
[Pollard & Go., successors, ] will eminently stand in the markets of the countrr without an equal
in the perfection of its workmanship, in the strength and character ol the ujuterial used in its
construction, in its simplicity, safety and ease of management in the hands of i\mkilled labor, and
in its durability and concentration of power. No man can buy a cheaper or belter Press. Even
purchaser will be delighted with The “Smith Press,” in every respect; it will! last a life time if

and after packing over five hiiadred bales on it,
we feel it a duty to recommeifl it to the farmers
of the South —it has been long needed. The
simplicity of construction challenges the world.
We were running a Portable* Steam Gin, and
had to deal with anew sett o| hands for opera
ting the Press on every plaivlation we worked,
but never had to be present *t the packing of
more than two bales without* learning them to
operate it well. We believe |he most unskilled
labor can learn to operate itwrll in half an hour;
it has all the power that co wd be desired; we
packed our bales from four jjiundred to seven
hundred pounds. We conlider it the best
Press, and would not exchange it for any we

Madison, Ga., February 12th, 1871.
Messrs. Printup , Pro. dr Pollard, Augusta,
Ga. Gentlemen: I have been planting cotton
twenty-five years, giving the business much qf
my personal attention. For packing cotton, I
have used a Cox Press, an Ingersoll Press,
Wright’s Screw, and old fashioned Wooden
Screw. Mr. Patterson, your Agent in this coun
ty, induced me in November last, to test one of
Smith’s Presses. I have packed with it over one
hundred and fifty bales, and have no hesitancy
in saying that as a power to pack cotton, it is far
superior"to either of those I have named. Why ?
because it is as cheap, as durable, and more
easily managed. Any planter who tries it will
be more than satisfied. In this opinion, Mr. E. ().
Radius, who has superintended my business for
more than fifteen years, fully concurs.
Yours, &c , THOS. P. SAFFOLD.

purchased of you last Fall, I with pleasure answer
that I believe it to be a superior Press, one that
would give satisfaction generally. I would cheer
fully recommend it to any person needing a Press
as one that will more than equal all that is claimed
for it. I have packed one hundred and ninety
bales of cotton with one I have, and as yet there
is nothing out of order or apparently worn. I
pack a bale of cotton weighing 500 lbs. in twenty
minutes with four hands, without extra exertion.
Allow me to congratulate your Mr. Smith upon
his complete success in the invention of a Press.

Our personal acquaintance with and knowledge

With PRICE CONSIDERED, it HAS NO EQUAL.
Being perfectly familiar with the mechanical

with two horses, that I could give my old Gin
with four. I ginned one hundred pound of seed
