Best on the Market At first glance it strikes one that the cost ot a "Dunbar New and Im- proved Logging Engine" is large, but on close analysis it can be easily demonstrated that it is one of the very best investments a Lumber Oper- ator can make. Take, for instance, first, the cost of machine, $6,000, and suppose it costs for sleds and other equipment for a large ope ation $4,000, totalling in all $10,000.

Best on the Market At first glance it strikes one that the cost ot a "Dunbar New and Im- proved Logging Engine" is large, but on close analysis it can be easily demonstrated that it is one of the very best investments a Lumber Oper- ator can make. Take, for instance, first, the cost of machine, $6,000, and suppose it costs for sleds and other equipment for a large ope ation $4,000, totalling in all $10,000. Now, as intimated, this may seem large, but let us see: 20 teams (40 horses) at $500 per pair, equals $10,000. Here we have the full cost of the engine and outfit at once, and, in addition, there is the cost ot sleds, harness, &c, which will mean from $1,500 to $2,000 more. Our reasoning is this, then : To get a fit-out of horses, sleds, &c, that will do work equal to that done by the Logging Engine, it will cost nearly $2,000 more, while ihe cost of the operation comparatively is as $45 is to $112 per 24 hours. See the immense saving here. In one operation for one season it would amount to nearly the value of an Engine, viz., $6,000; but this is not all. Bear in in nd that when you cease to operate the engine the expense also practically ceases, but not so with the team question—horses must be cared for and men paid whether in full ac ive work or not. The reader will quickly see the result. Supposing you have sixteen men more than you would require with Engine these would cost, including board, $ to $ per day, and the horses' feed say $ per day, all of which amounts to about $60,00 per day, so you are here making a large saving every idle day. In view of all the facts can you afford to be without a " Dunbar New and Improved Logging Engine?" All Enquiries Cheerfully Answered This is the machine tor which we elaim all the good Qualities possessed by any other and a great many valuable improvement
