The St. Simeon Lumber Co. Limited Doreil, P. Q. January 30, 1915 Mr. Chas. Manseau, Sales Manager The Moreau Barking Machine Co., Ltd. Drummondville, Que. Dear Sir: — We beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 20th inst. We installed six Moreau barkers in May, 1907 and since that date we reckon that each of these machines has barked 15,000 cords of wood, costing on an average from 40 to 45 cents a cord, according to circumstances. Maintenance for each of these machines amounted to from $5 to $6 per year. We reckon the loss of wood through barking averages about 18%. These machines have proved so satisfactory to us that our firm, having decided to build a new mill, will install 8 or 10 of these Moreau barkers in it. Yours very truly The St. Simeon Lumber Co., Ltd. Doreil Per Alf. Garneau The Moreau Barking Machine is something quite different from any other rossing device. It has a capacity of from 2 to 3 cords per hour and only requires 6 H. P. to operate it, and it eliminates the time consuming and costly operation of boil- ing logs. The Moreau Barker only diminishes the log 18 per cent, as compared with a loss of 25 per cent, to 30 per cent, by other barkers. The Moreau is an Automatic Bark- er and its working efficiency is not de- pendent upon the operator. This feature is particularly advantageous when the logs to be barked are crooked. Used in conjunction with a pulp wood plant the Moreau Barking Ma- chine will show surprising results. A valuable feature of this outfit is that it is readily portable to any point in the woods—at the railway siding or wherever shipping facilities are offered. Its own weight is sufficient to hold it in place when in operation. Write us for literature and prices The Moreau Barking Machine Compa
