Dear Sir,—The shingle machine we bought of you over a year ago is doing well. Last year we averaged over 32,000 shingles per clay all through the season. We did not lose 15 minutes' time from all stoppages, and all repairs so far have not cost 50c. We ex- pect to make a still higher average cut this year. All our other machinery purchased from you is as good as the shingle machine. Your drag saw, with friction drive, cannot be beaten. We run ours 180 strokes per minute; with tf4 ft. saw it would easily make blocks for two shingle machines. The splitter, with balance wheel 4 feet diameter, weighing 1,000 lbs., is perfect and runs without the least jar. The iron frame shingle jointer with 40-inch saw is the only good jointer we ever saw. In fact, all your machinery, line shaft, pul- leys, etc., give us the best satisfaction. We expect to require another mill in a few days, and, if we do, will send you the order for complete outfit. Truly yours, M. Dovev. —If any one wants to see a good work- ing shingle mill send them to me.—M. D. *1- r°f\TENTEjE> f\N (WfVNUFRCTURE F. J. DRAKE S& SAW, SHINGLE AND LATH MACHINERY.
