The Following is Only a Sample : ASHLAND, Wis., Nov. 10th, 1886. CHAS. ESPLIN, ESQ., Minneapolis, Minn., U. S. A. DEAR SIR,—The band mill place.! in our saw mill by you we consider the best and most complete band mill we know of. It has atlvantageous features which we haze not seen in any other mill. The strength of all its parts is ample for every demand upon it. It is massive. The guide arms in their proportions and adjustments seem beyond improi-ement. The drive wlieel by taking up the tension of the saw from belo;^ is a great m/vantage gained. The long distance between the bear ingsofthe upper wheel shaft steadies the motion and the whole machine moves with ease and steadiness. We have never seen lumber so perfectly manufactured as made by this band mill. The mechanic that planned it and the company that manufactured it desen-es the tOHgratulation and thanks of all manufacturers of lumber, Very respectfully, SUPERIOR LUMBER CO. John H. Knight, Secretary-Treas.: D. A. A'oniedy, Supt. and General Manager. Address, CHAS. ESPLIN, care of Wm. Hamilton Mfg. Co., Peterborough, Ont„ OK TO MY AMERICAN OFFICE :.
