GENERATORS,
FOR MANUFACTURING FUEL CIS,
As shown in the illustration herewith,
are of capacity ranging from two barrels
to forty. They are made of galvanized
iron, or of Bessemer Steel. Every scum
is heavily riveted and soldered. They are
compound Generators ; the multiplicity of
the evaporating pans furnishes a powerful
instrument, permitting the use of gasolene
of lower gravity and less cost than any
Gas Generator in the world. In Fuel Gsw
operations, where the work is sustained
all day, this quality is essential to success
and to economy. These Generators will
turnish from 500 cubic feet up to 20,000
cubic feet of gas per day. Pressure is
furnished to them by our Air Pumps,
operated by either weight or Water Wheel
;
or, where there is shafting, a Sturtevant
Blower, may be used. Blowers, counter-
shafts, pulleys, furnaces for heating solder-
ing irons, fire arresters, automatic check
valves, special burners, and all appliances
for use with Fuel Gas, constantly on hand.

EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS.
A HISTOEY.
By E. D. FISHER.
T\J
1 810 a work was written in France by
J
*"
M. Appert in regard to the canning of
hermetically sealed goods and was pub-
lished by authority of the French govern-
ment. Successful experiments had been
made before but we owe to Appert the clear
exposition of the principles that underlie
the processes of the art. His experiments
which were made with fish, meats, fruits
and vegetables, were of a most elaborate
character. He used glass exclusively, as
a metal package at that time apparently
had not been thought of. Appert's expe-
riments covered a period of ten years,
and so exact and clear were his methods that he
may well be called the father of the canned
goods industry.
Thomas Kensett was undoubtedly the first
to pack hermetically sealed goods in the United
States, as he was packing canned goods in New
York City as early as 1819. Messrs. T. H. and
J. Kensett, of Baltimore, Md., have in their pos-
session an oyster label used by him bearing date
1822.
In 1825 Thomas Kensett and Ezra Daggett
obtained a patent from the United States Gov-
ernment on an improvement in the art of pre-
serving. This patent bears the autograph sig-
nature of the then President of the United States,
James Monroe; of the Secretary of State, John
Quincy Adams, and the Attorney- General, Wil-
liam Wirt.
In 1832, Philip Jones, a native of Massa-
chusetts, is mentioned as having put up fruit by
a particular process. It is not known just what
this process was, but it is believed to have been
the same as that employed by Appert.
We learn of the catching and preserving of fish
in 1835, and, although we do not find by what
process they were preserved, we believe it was by
Whitney Glass Works. Bottles for Catsups, and Preserves. Jars of all Kinds.

present. At various per-
iods up to 1840, the art of preserving in hermet-

packages is
mentioned,
but it was

being known to only a
few.

In that
year, 1840, the old house of Kemp,

From
1840 to 1850

Appert,

sent a box
containing
six cans of
tomatoes to
Queen
Victoria and to the
President of the United
States,
both of
whom
acknowledged
their
receipt.
William
Underwood,
founder ot the house of

was also en-
gaged in packing
tomatoes at
this time. As
early as 1835 he
imported
tomato
seed in order
to grow
tomatoes

Isaac Winslow,
of
Portland, Me., is supposed to have been the
first to pack sugar corn in hermetically
sealed
cans for sale. His first
experiments
were made
in about the year 1842, and in 1 863 he
obtained
letters patent of the United
States for his inven-
tion.
He was the uncle of the
well-known
John
Winslow Jones, who will be
remembered
from the

But few fish are packed outside of these places

i The oyster canning industry which has al-
ready attained gigantic proportions, is still
growing. There are engaged in it, 2,000 vessels
employing 20,000 hands, while the whole num-
ber of persons directly and indirectly concerned
will reach nearly 250,000. The annual output
of oysters is 75,000,000 cans valued at $8,000,-
ooo'
Then comes the immense and still growing
meat industry, the center of which is Chicago
.
Beef, mutton, poultry, tongue, etc., are packed
and shipped to almost every part of the globe.
The output of this class of goods in 1889 was
worth $22,000,000.
When we take into consideration the number
of minor products that find their way to mar-
kets in hermetically sealed packages and add to
them the above products, we are able to form
some idea of the magnitude of the business.
It is estimated that 350 varieties of fruits,
vegetables, fish and meats are packed during a
single season. Neither is the business confined
to the more wealthy or thickly settled parts of
the country. Those portions which were but a
few years ago considered frontier territories, are
adding their quota to the business. Texas, Kan-
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota and Utah are
coming forward as large producers of canned
goods, and those, too, of a high grade.
Change of methods have also kept pace with
the growth of the business. While first princi-
ples have remained the same, the minutia of the
businessthe laborious processeshave wonder-
fully changed. As an instance, corn wasformerly
cut from the cob by hand, and filled into the can
with a small quantity of liquor. After this the
can was closed with a straight (or tinner's)
copper and given a bath of forty or fifty minutes
in boiling water. It was then opened by prick-
ing the can and allowing the heated air and va-
por to escape; then closed and subjected to a
bath in boiling water for six hours. This method
has given place to the continuous cutters which
takes a stream of ears of corn, faster than one
can follow with the eye. The cut corn is taken
by carriers to the automatic hot fillers, which
takes the cans from the shute, fills with syrup
and corn and delivers to the power cappers.
After this a bath of one hour in an iron retort
completes the process. The former bath was a
pan set over an arch; the latter a large strong
cylinder like a steam boiler. By the former
method one or two acres of corn were considered
a large pack. Now a factory thinks 1,000 or
even 2,000 acres in a single season, nothing very
remarkable.
The pea huller is another result of the invent-
ive genius that has come to the aid of the packer.
In one factory during the past season 1,700
bushels of peas (pods) were shelled by a single
Buy your Bottles of the Whitney Glass Works, 227 South Front St., Philadelphia, Pa.
machine of this kind in fourteen hours' work.
We scarcely cease wondering at this before an-
other machine called a
"
viner," advances a step
further and takes the peas from the vine, picks
and shells at the same operation. By the aid of
this machine a factory easily handles 1,000 to
2,000 acres of peas, while 50 to 100 were all that
could be safely undertaken by the old method.
Perhaps greater advances have been made in
the mode of manufacturing cans. In the early
stages of the business the operations were all
performed "by hand" and were of necessity
very slow and expensive.
Now one piece of machinery cuts a whole sheet
of tin into the ends for the cans; revolving shears
cut another sheet into the parts used for the
sides of the cans called "bodies." Another takes
the bodies, forms and locks, and passes them
through the solder. A single operation of a
most complicated and ingenious machine puts
on both ends and delivers it for the final solder-
ing, when the cans are rolled into cars for ship-
ment, tested aud counted at the rate of 100,000
to 250,000 cans per day.
Many important industries have grown out of
the needs of the canners. Machinery is required,
and many new and ingenious devices have been
brought out to meet the demand. Cans, cases
and labels have been required in almost endless
quantities. The carrying trade has been taxed
to transport both supplies and finished goods.
Only a short time ago a solid train composed of
twenty-four cars of canned corn was shipped by
the Hoopestown, (111.) Canning Co., to San
Francisco. About the same time one of fourteen
cars of canned gallon apples was sent by the
Erie Co. from Buffalo, N. Y. to Pittsburg, Pa.
The future of the business?
Everything points to a large increase in the
number of factories and volume of business. The
business, we believe, has passed safely through
the critical period that always comes to a new
industry, and has settled on a firm basis. The
demand for this class of goods has fully kept
pace with the growth of the business. Weexpect
the decade upon which we have just entered will
see a greater advance in business and methods
than has ever before been known.
S-
FRUIT
EVAPORATING INDUSTRY.
By MICHAEL DOYLE.
Up
OCHESTER (N. Y.,) is the recognized center
of the evaporated and dried fruit in-
dustry of the United States, which during
recent years has assumed very large proportions,
the goods being shipped in large quantities to
all the leading markets of the world. No finer
fruit is produced on this Continent than is grown
in the territory embraced under the name of
Western New York, comprising some twelve of
the most fertile and richest counties of the Em-
pire State. The cultivation of fruit, especially
apples, has superseded all other agricultural
products, and has proved more remunerative to
the grower than any other product. The
orchards of the farming community are the chief
sources of their wealth, and the industry is prose-
cuted with unabated vigor, largely aided by the
experience, skill and resources of the great nur-
series of Rochester, famed throughout the world.
Whether due to this proximity, to the favorable
climate and soil, or to the superior and skillful
cultivation of the orchardists, one thing is cer-
tainthat the apples of Western New York are
sought with avidity and bring relatively higher
prices than those grown elsewhere. The success
and magnitude of the evaporating industry is
due largely to the fine quality of the fruit, easily
and cheaply procurable in abundant quantities,
and also to the enterprise of the producers in
adapting new and improved evaporators and
machinery in place of the crude processes in
vogue years ago, producing thereby a quality of
fruit fully as good as though it were in the fresh
or matured state. Thousands of tons of apples
are thus prepared every season from a grade of
fruit heretofore wasted and allowed to rot on the
ground, and which now forms a source of revenue
to the grower. It is in the utilization of these
waste products that the desiccation of fruit be-
comes a valuable and indispensable adjunct to
every fruit grower, and the business may be con-
sidered as yet in its infancy.
Within a radius of forty miles of Rochester
there are more than fifteen hundred evaporators,
ranging in capacity from the small farm-house
dryer of twenty-five bushels per day to the large
steam evaporators drying 800 to 1,000 bushels
of apples each twenty-four hours. These evapo-
rators give employment during the autumn and
early winter months to at least 30,000 hands,
Bu7 Your Bottles of the Whitney Glass Works, 227 South Front St., Philadelphia, Pa.
who average from
f
5 to $12 a week, according
to experience and usefulness. New factories are
erected every season, proving that the business
is profitable when properly and economically
conducted. Constant care and scrupulous clean-
liness are the first elements of success in evapo-
rating good fruit. The production during the
past season (1888) may well be considered the
largest since the inception of the business some
fifteen years ago. A careful estimate places the
total quantity at about 30,000,000 pounds,
worth at first cost some $2,000,000. To pro-
duce this quantity of evaporated apples it re-
quired 5,000,000 bushels of apples, 15,000 tons
of anthracite coal, and the constant attendance
night and day of an army of men, women and
children, numbering from 25,000 to 30,000. The
water eliminated in the process of evaporation
amounted to 225,000 tons, reducing the fruit to
about one-eighth of its original weight in the
green state, each one hundred pounds yielding,
when properly evaporated, twelve pounds on an
average. The fruit is usually packed in cases of
two cubic feet measurement, holding fifty pounds
net, or the product of say eight and a half bushels
of green apples, and in this concentrated com-
pressed form is shipped all over the world. The
advantages in freight alone will be apparent from
a comparison of the cost of shipping one case to
Liverpool, England, which at existing freight
rates will cost a little less than thirty cents,
while in the green or fresh state in barrels the
canned state almost $2.10, without considering
the deterioration of the green fruit and the

DEVELOPMENT OE THE TIN CAN.
ByR. tynes smith,
OF THE R. TYNES SMITH CAN CO., DALTIMORE, MD.
A paper read before the Western Packers Canned Goods Association at Indianapolis, Indiana,
February, 1890. By permission.
Y personal knowledge of tin cans dates
back only to 1857, and I am indebted to
various sources for information of the
times previous to that date. Of the persons who
have assisted me in this way, I must mention
Mr. Henry Evans, Jr., and Messrs. T. H. and J.
R.Kensett. Mr. Evans was a practical can -maker
in 1847 and has contributed largely to them any
improvements in methods of manufacturing
since then. The Messrs. Kensett are grandsons
of the Thomas Kensett, who was undoubtedly
the first man to pack hermetically sealed goods
in the United States. The Messrs. Kensett have
several interesting mementoes of their grand-
father and his business, among them being one
of his oyster labels with thedateof packing, viz:
"February, 1822." This label has directions
for opening the "case" containing the ousters,
and the language is such as to clearly indicate
that this "case" was a, tin can. They also have
a patent granted to p]zra Daggett and Thomas
Kensett in 1825 for an improvement in the art
of preserving, etc. This patent bears the auto-
graph signatures of the then president of the
United States, James Monroe; of the secretary of
state, John Quincy Adams, and the attorney
general, William Wirt. In the specifications in
this patent "vessels of tin plate" are mentioned,
but are not claimed as being novel. Thomas
Kensett came to the United States from England
in the early part of the century, the exact date is
not known, but he was packing canned goods in
New York as early as 1819, for in that year he
entered into partnership with his father-in-law,
Ezra Daggett, with a view
7
of enlarging his
business.
We find then Thomas Kensett using tin cans
for hermetically sealed goods as early as 1819
to
EVERYTHING
FOR
CANNERS
and certainly
laying no claim to them as a new
article of
manufacture,
although
securing a pat-
ent for an
improvement
in the art of preserving.
I assume
from this that
Kensett
learned the use
of tin cans where he learned the art of preserving,
viz: in England,
before he
emigrated
to this
country.
Appert, the
inventor of the art of
preserving
food by
hermetical
sealing, did not use tin cans.
In his
description
of his processes,
written in 1810
and
published by
authority of the French
govern-
ment, he says: "I chose glass as being the mat-
ter most
impenetrable by air, and have not ven-
tured to
experiment
with a vessel made of any
other
substance."
Peter Dnrand took out a patent in
England in
1810,
which he frankly
states is for "an inven-
tion
communicated
to me by a
foreigner,"
and
the
phraseology
of the description
in Durand s
patent is so nearly
identical with
Appert s own
language
as to leave no doubt that the latter is
the
foreigner
referred to by Durand. But Durand
ventured a step
further than
Appert, for in his
patent he covered
"vessels made of glass, pot-
tery, tin or other metals or fit
materials."
Here,
then', we have the first mention of the tin can in
connection
with
hermetically
sealed food. So
that
while to Appert is due the credit of invent-
ing an art
which, it is not too much to say,
has
proved of
incalculable
advantage
to human
health and
comfort, to Durand is due the credit
of first using that
material for packages,
which
of all others
enables the
magnificent
invention of
Appert to be most
generally
availed of. It would
be quite
impracticable to
transport
glass or pot-
tery
packages to many
points to which tin car-
ries fresh food so
desirable, and even necessary,
for the
health and
convenience of the people.
The
greater
cost of the frailer
materials would
takethis
class of food out of reach of a large
proportion of those who are now able to use tin
goods
freely.
Further, it would be
impossible
for our
packing
houses to
produce the
quantities
of goods they now do, the glass and
pottery
requiring so much
more care in handling that all
the
processes of
manufacture
are necessarily
much
slower
than
with tin cans.
We see, then, that
to the tin can is due no small share of the extra-
ordinary
growth aud spread of this compara-
tively new
industry.
Just how the first cans were made I have been
unable to
ascertain.
Some of the earlier ones
had tops and bottoms,
with edges overlapping
the ends of the body, but without the anular
oroove or crease for the solder, as in the more
modern styles;
others had the tops and bottoms
set into the ends of the
bodies, a recess or swage

while the swaged can

France, and indeed is

extent to the present
day,

One very desirable
feature of the plumb and swaged cans was that
the soldering was all on the outside.

EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS. II
In the early days cans were made by regular work for one man, and they required from five to
tinsmiths and the work all done by hand, the
bodies laid off on the sheet of tin by pattern, and
cut out with the stock shears, the blanks for the
tops and bottoms described by dividers and also
cut out with the shears, the edges formed on them
by means of the edging-stake and mallet. The hole
in the top was punched out with a hollow punch
by hand, and the cap was made by a large-sized
hollow punch, and also struck out by hand. The
California gold fever gave a great impetus to the
canning business, creating as it did a demand
for food in concentrated and portable shapes.
This increased demand stimulated improvements
in all departments of the business, and we now
begin to notice a series of efforts to improve on
the methods of making cans. Can making began
to be a distinct branch of the tinners' trade.
Little devices for facilitating the work appeared.
Neatness in style and increased rapidity of the
workmen were demanded. The bench burring
machine took the place of the edging-stake and
mallet; an apparatus with weights, reels and lme
was devised to assist the workmen to plumb the
heads and bottoms on neatly and with greater
rapidity, and it was astonishing to see how beau-
tifully a skilled man would, with a sharp pointed
soldering iron, pile up the solder, little by little,
into a complete, smooth and rounded ring or
ridge right on the joint, leaving scarce a mark of
where the tool had touched. But after all this
was slow work as compared with later opera-
tions; 150 of these plumb cans was a good day's
six pounds of solder to the hundred. The work-
men received $2.50perhundredformakingthem.
Mr. Evans tells me that about 1852 he bought
a quantity of two-pound cans, for which he paid
$9 per hundred, but as the firm had a contract
for all the goods they were packing at $7.50 per
dozen, there was no great hardship in this. This
price of $7.50 per dozen was uniform for every
variety of food they should pack in two-pound
cans, and included oysters, meats, fruits and
vegetables. At these figures the cost of the cans
was about one-seventh of the wholesale price of
the goods. At the average price of two-pound
goods to-day the cost of the cans is about one-
fifth, the proportion, however, varying from one-
eighth to one-third, showingthat, notwithstand-
ing the great cheapening in the cost of the cans,
the cost of the canned food to the consumer has
been cheapened in even greater proportion. Some
of the older packers would probably say that
the profits of the packers have been lessened in
even still greater proportion.
The years from 1850 to 1860 witnessed quite
a number of improvements in the methods of
making cans. In the early part of this period
Mr. Henry Evans devised the cap crease and cap
or stud to fit it, a device which remains to-day
practically without change. Circular shears be-
gan to be used for cutting out the disks for tops
and bottoms. For the body squaring shears
superseded [the pattern, scribe-awl and stock
shears; but by far the longest stride forward

12 EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS,
was in the construction of the can itself. It was
in 1857 or
'58
that I saw the first floated can,
since so well known to the trade as the hand-
made can. I remember being in the office of
Thomas Kensett & Co., when Mr. Evans came in
with one of these cans and showed it to Mr. Ken-
sett. After a close examination the latter pro-
nounced it ad d ugly rough affair and declared
he would never use them. In twelve months he was
using no other kind. It is unnecessary for me
to describe this style of can : every packer is
familiar with it. But perhaps some description
of how they were made at first may interest you.
After the body was rolled upit was fitted around
a sheet iron cylinder held in the hand. A section
of a joint of bamboo, split lengthwise, was laid
along the lap and held in position by the pres-
sure of the left thumb, the remainder of the hand
being grasped around the body. The whole was
then laid firmly against the edge of the bench,
while the rosin and solder was applied and the
seam soldered. After the head and bottom were
floated on (the term, floating, was applied to
the process of soldering on the tops and bot-
toms to distinguish this method from the old
one of plumbing, already described) the ends of
the side seam at the junctures with the end
seams would be cut or melted away by the
action of the soldering iron in floating. This
was looked upon as the weak point of the can,
and was remedied by buttoning, that is, a small
lump of solder was melted on to these weak
points. Dies and presses for making the heads
Buy Your Bottles of the Whitney Glass W
and bottoms came into general use with the in-
troduction of the floated can. The disks of tin
as they came from the circular shears were put
into dies and the edges and the creases pressed
up in them, the cap-hole and crease being made
by a subsequent operation. The first improve-
ment made in the method of constructing these
cans which I remember was the invention of the
belly-puncher. This was nothing more than the
original form of the now well known seaming
block. The sheet iron body cylinder was fitted
on to a block of wood, the rear end of which, ex-
tending beyond the cylinder, was bolted to a
bench; a lever hinged on this rear end of the
block had a slate knife attached, so arranged as
to be brought down upon the seam lap, thus
doing away with the bamboo thumb piece. The
forward end of the lever was provided with a
wooden handle, and in operation the workman
pressed his stomach against the handle and bore
down a part of his weight upon it to hold the
lap in position while soldering. This stomach
feature gave the rig its uncouth name of belly-
puncher. Those of us who have had a practical
acquaintance with this instrument of torture have
no desire to soften its rough appellation. Now
came improved forms of dies, the compound die
cutting the disk forming the edge and crease
on the bottoms at one stroke. Later the com-
bination die, cutting the disk and forming the
edge and crease and cutting and creasing the

placed bj power presses. The floated can went
so far in the direction of economy of material
and workmen became so skillful and rapid in
making them (many of the rapid workmen can
turn out 1,000 of these cans per day) that it for
a long time bid defiance to change and it is
difficult even now for many to realize that its
day is passing, but the ingenuity and perseve-
rance of man knows no such thing as a final
stopping point forendeavor. Wefind, therefore,
that scores and hundreds of devices, more or less
elaborate, have been invented for making cans
by machinery. Most of these, indeed there are
very few exceptions, have proved failures. Among
the earlier efforts in this direction I remember
the Gray patent. Mr. Gray took a can body
after seaming and placing it on an upright cylin-
der in a press, by means of a die he turned the
end of the body inwards to an angle of about 45
degrees, a second operation laid this flat or at
right angles with the main portion of the body,
and a third operation pressed a crease, similar
to the cap crease, into this flattened portion.
These operations were repeated on the opposite
end of the body. Then the bottom, shaped like
a large cap, was soldered into the crease of one
of the ends, completing the can. The hard usage
to which the soldered side seam wap subjected by
this method caused many of them to leak, and
this style of can, though very promising at first,
met with no favor. The necessity for an abso-
lutely tight package, as well as a strong and
cheap one, has proved the stumhling block to
most of the machine-made cans. Gradually but
surely, however, development and improvement
have come, and to-day there are three distinct
types of machine-made cans being put upon
the market in large quantities that in the
essential features named above surpass the
floated or hand-made can, while there are
still others more or less successful in these
features.

REMINISCENCES.

HEPARD,
OF THE PHCENIX CANNING CO., WELLAND, ONT.
^Nthe year
1857,Mr.E. A. Edgett,
thenayoung
I
man, went to New York City and engaged to
work one year for the firm of Kemp, Day &
Co.
in the canning
business.
Returning
the next sea-
son he
startedasmall
businessof his own located
near the village of Camden, in Oneida Co., N.
^
.
His was the first cauuing
factory in the State
outside of New York City.
Mr.
Kdgett's pack
for several years
consisted of sweet corn, wild
blackberries,
beef and poultry, all of the other
many
products
which are now canned in such
large
quantities
were then
unknown in the
market.
Mr. Kdgett
commenced
cooking his cans in
large deep pans set in brick arches and
continued
to use these for several
years. He packed the
product of two acres of sweet corn the first year
and was obliged to take two trips to New York
before
hesucceededindisposingof
thewhole of it.
I commenced
working at this business for Mr.
Kdgett in 1861, the first work I did being to cap
corn cans.
The copper then in use for this pur-
pose, was four square.
We would run the solder
round a dozen caps roughly,
and then take a
brad awl to hold the cap down, while smoothing
it. This was a very
slow method
considering
the
conveniences of the
present time.
Canned corn at that time sold at $2.50
and
$3
per dozen aud
everything
else at the same
rate.
This induced
others to start in the busi-
ness and soon after or about the year 1859,

the tin into bottoms and tops, we were obliged

to change the dies three times in order to get
them ready for use. The first die would cut a
flat blank; and we would generally cut up several
boxes of tin into these blanks; then change it for
a die that would turn up a flange. They were
then ready for use as bottoms. Then as only
half were needed as bottoms we were obliged to
change the die again for one which would punch
the tops.
In this way we were obliged to pick up each
blank with the left hand, put it in the die and
with the right hand pull the sweep around with
force enough to make the impressions all perfect.
It was a slow and tiresome way of cutting tin
compared with present conveniences. Caps were

cut by laying the tin on the die and striking it
with a mallet. The vents were afterwards made
with a brad awl and hammer.
The old former was a "belly puncher." Instead
of a treadle to raise the knife that holds the
bodies, we had a large handle running out from
the knife; we had to raise that up with the left
hand and then hold it up with one side, then slip
on the body, get it in position, press the knife
down with one side then grasp the handle with
the left hand and hold it, while with the right
the solder and rosin were put on and seam made.
We had to bend down to raise the knife with one
side in order to have our two hands to pall off
the body.
Fifty cans was a
j
ob for the bench. After finish-
ing floating the cans had to be placed on the
bench seam up and with a pointed copper we had
to (what we called) "button" them; that was to
melt a drop of solder on each cut off.
We used. charcoal entirely for heating coppers,
that has given place to the neat yet powerful,
kerosene, gas and gasoline burners of the present
time.
Our solder molds used to be a cast-iron some-
thing; similar to a washboard in looks with only
one part and we were obliged to be very careful
when running the solder or part of the sticks
would be large and a part small. We cut our
drops with a tinner's shears, gauging the size
with our eye; five pounds being allowed to every
one hundred two pound cans.
During the civil war when we were obliged to
pay such exorbitant prices for everything, I
helped to make cans out of tin which cost twenty-
four dollars per box. We used nothing but the
best charcoal tin at that time in the manufacture
of our cans.
Canned fruit brought a high price in market,
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, quinces, etc.,
selling at $4.50 per dozen in
2% pound cans and
everything else in proportion.
Our labels then were printed by our village
printer, on white paper with perhaps a border
with just "sweet corn packed by, etc." It only
reached half way around the can.
The packing boxes were mostly of spruce or
basswood and cost

18 per hundred.
The corn was taken in by counting the ears in
a load. A bushel of ears were then husked and

couated.
The price was forty cents per bushel of
husked ears.
As will be seen by this sketch very little labor
saving
machinery was known to the business.
The cooking or "processing"
was all done in
pans set in brick arches. These gave place to the
steam boiler and "open" or "water bath," and
these in turn to the iron retorts of the present
time. The various
operations were all done "by
hand," as cutting corn, shelling peas, capping,
filling, etc. The quality however of the goods
were fully equal we think to the best goods packed
now. The cost was very high owing to the cost
of material and supplies, but the price that they
broughtleft a larger margin of profit than we have
been able to see the past few years in the business.

SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATION.
^HOMAS L. BUNTING whose portrait we
give herewith, is a representative canner,
well-known to the trade. He is manager
of the HamburgCanning Company, of Hamburg,
Erie County, New York, packers of the celebrated
Hamburg canned goods. Mr. Bunting is presi-
dent of the New York Packers' Association;
State president of the National Packers' Associ-
ation; president of the Hamburg Water and
Electric Light Company, and of its Investment
and Improvement Company; vice-president of
the Bank of Hamburg, and is one of the C ity
and County Hall Commissioners.
In November last he was elected to Congress
from the thirty-third N. Y. district. He is also
interested in farming, owning a large farm just
east of the village of Hamburg, which is devoted
to dairying and stock-raising. He is a member
of the Erie County Farmers' Institute, and has
read frequent papers before that body bearing
upon subjects of interest to farmers. He was
deputized to voice the views of that society on
the subject of bogus butter before the Commit-
tee on Agriculture at Washing-ton. He has also
given much study to the canning interests, and
drafted the existing law which aims to weed out
certain fatal abuses in the industry. On invita-

EDITORS COLUMN.
To our friends, the canners and evaporators
of North America, we make a bow. Having had
some considerable experience in the canning and
evaporating business, we understand something
of their needs.
"
It is not all gold that glitters"
even in this part of the business world. Experi-
ence is a fine thing; and a man who engages in
either one of these lines of business cannot have
too much, if it isthe right kind. I know several,
however, who think they have a surplus, and
would like to trade it off cheap for cash. They
are not exactly free traders, but they believe in
reducing the surplus. By cautiously investigat-
ing the cases, I have found that their surplus
believe in the homeopathic theory,
"
similia sim-
ilibus curantur." There is nothing here to cause
uneasiness, however. Such men are found in all
lines of business; they tumble headlong into
business and when it fails to pan out as they ex-
pected, they are just as anxious to tumble out
sort of a "rolling stone" that Solomon, or
somebody, says "gathers no moss."
It is not our purpose to furnish an exhaustive
treatise on the art of canning or evaporating;
we are not competent for that, if we were inclined
which we are not: You may find some sugges-
tions here, however, that you may be able to
modify and make of service.
The object of this work is to bring to your
notice and attention the new and old labor-sav-
ing machines that have been brought out and
that are constantly being devised, to facilitate
the business and lessen the cost of manufacture.
Also to introduce to you those who deal in can-
ners' and evaporators' supplies of all kinds from
a paring knife to a steam engine, and to furnish
the addresses of responsible dealers in the large
cities.
All the machinery advertised in these columns
havebeen thoroughly tested. We are personally
acquainted with most of the manufacturers and
their machines. The particular attention of
canners is called to the oil system of heating
coppers, which has been in use now three seasons,
with universal satisfaction. You can find

CANNERS' AND PACKERS' DIRECTORY.
Our Canners' Directory (a list of the fruit and
vegetable canners) has now reached its fourth
edition. It is brought down to March 1, 1891;
a book of 125 pages, nicely bound, and has
about 2,500 addresses. It is carefully indexed
by states and places and divided as follows:
Fruits and Vegetable Canners, Green Corn Can-
ners, Fish and Oyster Canners, Manufacturers
of Pickles, Jams, Jellies, etc., Pork and Beef
Packers. It is indorsed by the leading business
men and manufacturers of the country who have
used it for the past four years. Price, $5. It
will be sent to any address; remittance to be
made on receipt of same. Two extras will be is-
sued in April and July, giving changes, new fac-
tories, etc., and sent free to all subscribers. Ad-
dress this office.
WHOLESALE GROCERS OF THE U. S.
Through the wholesale grocers the great bulk
of canned and evaporated goods find their way
to the retail trade. To meet the requirements of
the trade we prepared a year ago a complete
list of all the wholesale grocers of the United
States. This is now being revised and reprinted
to bring it down to March 1, 1891. It is a book
of about 175 pages; contains the address of 2,-
500 wholesale grocers with street number in the
cities. It also gives the large dealers in these
lines of goods in the smaller places, say 5,000 to
10,000 population, distinctly separate from the
others. It gives the population of all the places;
it gives the banks in each place, and to meet
the general demand, we give a few leading gen-
eral merchandise brokers and commission men
in the cities and larger places.
This book will be out of the press about the last
of April. Price,

HANGING PULLEYS.
The following rules will be found invaluable in
ascertaining the speed and sizes of pulleys.
To find the size of driving pulley, multiply the
diameter of the driven by the number of revolu-
tions it should make and divide the product by
the number of revolutions of the driver.
To find the diameter of driven, multiply the
diameter of the driver by its number of revolu-
tions and divide the product by the number of
revolutions of the driven.
To find the number of revolutions of the driven,
multiply the diameter of the driver by its num-
ber of revolutions and divide by the diameter of
the driven.
To find the horse power of a pulley, multiply
the circumference of the pulley by the speed and
the product thus obtained by the width of the
belt and divide the result by 600; the quotient
will be the horse power.
To ascertain transmitting power of belting,
multiply the diameter of driving pulley in inches
by its number of revolutions per minute and this
product by width of belt in inches; divide this
product by 3300 for single leather, four-ply rub-
ber or four-ply cotton beltingor by 2100 for
double leather, six-ply rubber or six-ply cotton
belting, and the quotient will be the number of
horse power that can be safely transmitted.

EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS. 23
( I
SAWFISH' CYPHER CODE.
Compiled by ELLIOT D. FISHER.
Adapted to the use of Canners, Evaporators, Dealers in Fruit and Produce, Commission
Men and Merchandise Brokers.
HIS cypher code has been prepared with a
great deal of care with this object in view:
To furnish an elaborate and complete cy-
pher covering everything, so far as was pos-
sible, coming in the range of business tran-
sactions, and to do this in a concise and
practical way. Nothing is omitted that is
covered by other codes now in use, or that
was felt necessary to make this complete. Much
is added that we have found others were deficient
in. The whole is arranged in a simple and
natural manner.
By the use of the affix, great elasticity is also
given to the work. In using, the affix is added
to the end of the cypher word. To illustrate its
use, the cypher word, "complot," means, "cases
of 2 lb. white cherries in extra heavy syrup."
By adding the affix, "ox," making the word,
"complotox," it means, "cases of 3 lb. white
cherries in extra heavy syrup." Full instructions
are given at the section where the affix is used.
In this bookEverything For Cannersthe
part of the code bearing on green fruits, general
produce, nuts, etc., are not given. This will not
affect the usefulness of the code to those not
handling those lines of goods.
Complete copies of the "Sawfish" cypher code,
bound in cloth, will be furnished for $2 per copy.
Address this office. Every canner and fruit
evaporator in North America, also all of the
firms whose advertisement appears in this work
have copies of the code. The address of other
parties using it, will be sent to any address for
a two-cent stamp.
We advise you in havingnew stationery printed
to state,
"
We use Sawfish Cypher Code."

E. D. FISHEK, Esq., Kansas. Ills., Dec. 27, 1889.
Dear Sir I cheerfully volunteer to say as to the merit of your Corn
Silker, that it is without any exception the most perfect machine for the
purpose intended of anything 1 have ever seen, and I have tried several
makes, and seen a good many more in operation. Your Silker did
my work the past season to my entire satisfaction. I feel that I cannot say
too much in its praise. I recommend it to all Canners ol Green Corn as
the machine to buy.
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN T. STAFF.
Mr E. D. FISHEK,
Fuanklinvillk, N. Y., Jan. 17, 1890.
j)ear Sir We have used one of your Corn Silkers two seasons with
entire satisfaction. It silked the corn for two Hemingway Cookers, and is
the best machine ol the kind we have ever seen. Respectfully,
FRANKLINVILLE CANNING CO.,
A. O. Holmes, Secretary.
E. D. FISHEK,

Dear Sir -The Com Silker purchased of you last season gave the
best of satisfaction. Yours respectltilly, T. L. BUNTING, Sec'y.

COOKER.
Forfullparticulars, prices and testimonials, address,
CONSTRUCTION OF COOKER.
The main body of the machine is made of steel boiler iron, with ca.t
iron bottom and lid. The inside kettle is made of heavy copper, with one
inch of space between the outside jacket and inside of kettle. The lid is
hinged, and running dcwn through the lid are two perpendicular stirring
shafts with arms. The shafts are revolved by means of gear wheels on the
lid. Running across the bottom of the machine is a shaft with screw or
conveyor blades attached. This conveyor runs out to the end of the noz-
zle or spout of the machine and forces the corn out through the two open-
ings alternately.
CONSTRUCTION OF CAN FILLER.
The can filler consists of bed plate, the upper side of which is divided by
three partitions, about five inches high, running lengthwise, into two alley-
ways or slips for cans to slide in, one row of cans passing under each of
the two openings in the nozzle of the cooker. There is a sliding plate
worked back and forth, in guides, that closes first one of the openings in
the nozzle and then the other one, just as the cans are filled This causes
one can to be constantly filling. By means of a device (a pair of revolving
valves) hot syrup or brine, in any desired quantity, is put into the second
can back of the can being filled with corn The lever that is connected to
the slide that cuts off the corn at the nozzle, is also attached to the syrup
valves, and works both syrup device and cut-off slide at one stroke.
COOKING
The corn as it comes from the silker is fed or spouted into the top of the
cooker through a small hopper. The outside space in the jacket is filled
with live steam and heats up the main body of the corn. The stirring arms
being hollow admit steam through small openings into the corn direct
ADVANTAGES.
< ne man and two boys can operate my machine and do more work than
two men and four boys can accomplish with other machines on the
market, and do it better. The man works the lever and regulates
the speed and heat. One boy puts empty cans into the machine
and the other boy takes away the filled cans and puts them into
trays. By means of the sliding cut-off, as soon as a can is full,
the stream of corn is cut off entirely and opened directly into
the can on the other side, already in place, and thus no corn is
spilled on top of the cans as is the case where the corn is allowed
to run through one nozzle and spill while the can is being changed

This machine is made on an entirely new principle, has been
thoroughly tested and proven to be far superior to anything
ever
offered for separating the silks and pieces of cob from out corn
with rapidity and economy.
The sieves revolve in opposite directions and are set on an
incline to allow the silks, husks and cobs to work out at the lower
end. It takes very little power and although it occupies only
3x6 feet floor space it has unlimited
capacity, having four times
the sieve surface that any other silker has, occupying the same
floor space. The ma-
chine requires no attend-
ant, it being arranged

HIS machine does its work accurately, putting
into each can just the quantity of syrup it is set to
till ; requires only a boy to feed the cans into the
spout, the machine moves them forward automati-
cally to and from the sryuper.
In construction it is strong and durable, and
is especially adapted for syruping Corn, Peas and
Beans. Is easily adjusted to fill (as may be de-
sired) from one to eight ounces of syrup into each
can.
These machines are in use with most of the
packers in New York state, as also with a great
many packers in the west, and receive the un-
qualified endorsement of those who have used
them.

The only green corn cooker made carrying steam through the entire center of the mass by means of hollow shaft and hollow flights at-
tached to same, thus giving the corn an even and quick cooking, reducing the juices of the corn to cream, retaining all the natural whiteness
and delicacy of flavor. Our patent feeder gives a positive and regular feed of corn into the cooker, and we obtain an even amount of corn
passing from the tiller into the cans. The operator can sit close to the machine and handle the cans with perfect safety ami no danger what-
ever of being scalded by steam and corn blowing out upon him. These machines were adopted this last season by some of the largest corn
packers in the United States, among them the Louis McMurray Pkg. Co., of Frederick City, Md., who packed all their corn for the season of
1890 with our cookers, syrupers and process. Our machinery enables the packer to produce a superior quality of corn, and the best canners
of the United States are adopting them. For prices, terms or any information, write us.

And requires a young man to lend it. It "makes a lap seam of re-
markable uniformity
"
and they are " marvels of
strength and beauty."
Mr.
J.
Lewden Robeson says,
"
I am free to say that from the
standpoint of a master machinist, I consider it a machine of great
merit, and as an invention in the can making industry, it is one-
much needed. It is carefully and thoroughly constructed, and
properly handled, is not likely to get out of order.
West Jersey Packing Co., John W. Stout, by
W. I.. Morris, Mgr.,
J.
F. Brady & Co., Geo.D. I.aning and Benj. S. Avers, all of Bridge-
ton, N.
J.,
say they "have no doubt the seams are as safe and strong
as any seam can be made by hand, and as reliable as any seam can
be."
The Albert Fischer Mfg. Co., Hamilton, Ohio, say, "In regard to
your Seamer will say that we think it is the best machine in exist-
ence, and do not sse how anyone making cans can do without it.
As far as the practical working of the same is concerned, will say
that it is perfect. The seams are all perfectly soaked and we con-
sider them the strongest that can be made, requiring less solder on
every 1,000 seams that we ever used before, either in making them
by hand or machine. In fact we think the machine is entitled to
all the praise anybody can give it."
1). Cummins, Conneaut, Ohio, says, under date of Aug. 30, 1890,
"The Seaming machine we have had in almost constant use since
lanuary 1, up to date, making all our cans upon it. We have had
no trouble to successfully operate the machine. We consider the
Seamer quite an improvement over our former way; that it has
sa ed us some money in labor and solder besides doing satisfactory
work."
(has G. Summers .V Co., Baltimore, say,
" It is belted to run 20
cans per minute or 1 200 per hour and will turn out that quantity
unless the operator neglects his work, for we have found almost no
stoppages necessary from other causes. One hand operates it and
is all that is required.
* * * The machine makes very strong
seams and as we have been packing the cans as fast as made we do
not sav this from eye inspection simply, but from actual process
tests. One and one-fourth to one and one-half cents per 100 seams
will cover all the cost of tending the machine and the bodies made
on it are so uniform in size as to reduce somewhat the cost of head-
ing and floating on account of it."

^ MACHINE
This machine has but recently been completed and is now offered for sale in connection with our Seamer.
It will take the can bodies as fast as delivered by the Seamer and after fluxing the ends of the body will
put on both heads and deliver the cans ready for floating. The can body requires no handling trom the
time it enters the Seamer until it is ready for the floater, and for attendance the machine requires a boy
only, whose duty is to lay the heads upon the aprons, one of which is shown in the cut, and in a general
way to see that everything goes on correctly. The cost of heading cans by this machine is simply the
wages of a boy, say a half to three-quarters of a cent per hundred cans, and the product should be in ex-
cess of 1000 cans per hour. Using our Seamers and heading machines the entire cosst for labor for seam,
jng and heading cans and delivering them ready for floating should never exceed two and one-quarter
cents per hundred, and should not under ordinary conditions exceed tivo cents per hundred. Our ma-
chines require only the exercise of fair intelligence in operating them. They are never absent at a criti-
cal time, and never join in strikes or take advantage of your necessities.

Apple Parers ! Apple Parers !
IT IS POOR ECONOMY TO BUY SUCH AN ARTICLE AS AN APPLE PARER BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP IN PRICE, BUT THE
BONANZA PARER AND CORER
HaB this advantage over all others, it is not only
sold at an exceptionally low price ( lower than any
other machine ever made that will do the same
work), but possesses all the features that go to
make up a
-COMPLETE SUCCESS
!
The Bonanza runs very easy; is very fast; does per-
fect work on large or small apples, and is durable.
PRICE ONLY $6.50.
For paring, coring and slicing, we have the "Dandy"
for hand use, and the "Eureka" for power. We
believe no one can afford to run Apple Parers by
hand when power is available.
The Eureka is the only Power Apple Parer. It
is a perfect success as a power parer ; it is also
without a rival for hand use.
We make more apple parers than all others
combined. We make a large variety of smaller
machines for family and factory, at prices ranging
from $4.00 per dozen up.
We believe we can safely say we can fur-
nish parers that will do more work, better work,
faster work, and at better prices, than anyone else
in the world.

Dear Sir : In reply to your favor of the 20th, we would say,
we have used your can making outfit during the last two seasons,
and it has given excellent satisfaction. We have no trouble in

other advantages over the hand method are so great that no packer
would return to the old way after once using your system.

Gents : The Capping Machine we bought of you in 1889, and
improved in 1890, has done our work well. In fact we do not
see how we could have got through the season without it. We
know it will do all you claim for it. The Gas Machine is also a
great success and gives us plenty of light and heat.

Gents: In reply to your inquiry as to how we are pleased
with the Climax Capping Machine, we will state that the 4-iron
machine we purchased of you last August and placed in our

respect, as well as the Gas Plant, which illuminates our factory
and supplied the heat for the capper; in all we are much
pleased with your system. Yours truly,

The Platform Conveyor.
Patented Aug. 12, 1890.
This member of ouv Automatic Canning System was in operation
last season in eight canning factories, giving in each case complete
satisfaction.
It takes scalded tomatoes from the Power Steam Scalder, distrib-
utes them to one hundred or more parers, and leturns the empty
buckets to the Scalder.
It collects the pared tomatoes, from one hundred or more parers, in
numbered buckets, conveying them to the tilling machine, and re-
turns the empty buckets.
It collects all the skins, water and other refuse from each paring bin,
and removes the satre to a single dump at any point of the apparatus
desired, from which it is taken out of the building by an ordinary chain
conveyor, all without
"
slopping
"
the floor and without manual labor.
At
"
quitting time
"
it brings water in buckets to ea -h parer for
washing the bins and vessels used, and finally it washes itself, and
is clean and bright for the next day.
The PLATFORM CONVEYOR lias no favorites, treats all alike, is
prompt and impartial, does not go on a strike, is always on duty, and
asks only for two bushels of coal daily for its pay.
It saves much room; it saves labor; it saves time; it keeps the
floor clean; it keeps the entire factory in good order. Send for de-
scription, testimonials and prices of all our machinery.

THE
"BOYNTON"
EQUAL TO THE WILSON FOR SHIPPLNG
AND CANNING.
We have proof that two well known persons, who send out catalogues every spring have engaged
quite a quantit}
7
of the BOYNTON to grow the coming season, expecting lo offer them first in their next
season's catalogue, with a great flourish of trumpets, at high rates. So our friends will see we have the
start of them one year, and thus give all a chance to get a start in this gieat market berry this spring at
$1.00 per dozen, $3.00 per hundred, by mail or express.
David Ledzy, of Albany County, N. Y., writes us as follows :
"I have rown the Boyuton Strawberry for two vears. It is without exception the best berry I have ever raised, and I have been in the busi-
ness for fifteen years, and have tried all kinds. It Is as early as the Crescent; holds out larger and longer, and outsells all others in the nnarket.
I o-ot from 2 to 4 cents more for it than for othei kinds. It is good on sand or clay, and is displacing the Crescent around here. It is a sight worth
looking at with its load of fruit. I cannot say too much for it. "Any man that sets it out will not regret it."
For further particulars see our descriptive and wholesale catalogues, sent free to all applicants, and
also for a full line of fruit trees and berry plants with prices retail and wholesale.

IT IS A WELL-KNOWN
FACT
And generally acknowledged, that Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and West Virginia consume
more Canned Goods in proportion to the population than any other section of America. This is because
of the large Iron and Glass Manufacturing Establishments and the Mining Industries, employing thous-
ands of workmen, who necessarily must live well in order to work well. Pittsburgh is the center of
this great and valuable section, and it naturally follows that Pittsburgh contains many large Wholesale
Grocery Houses, through whom nearly all of the Canned Goods are sold in the section embraced in
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia. To manufactui ers and packers of Canned
Goods all over the United States and Canada, we can heartily recommend corresponding with

we can confidently recommend them to the trade,

PUMPKIN MACHINE
MANUFACTURED BY THE BUCKLIN CAN FILLER CO,, KEYPORT, N. J.
WILL REDUCE ANY FRUIT OR VEGETABLE TO A FINE PULP.
WILL EXTRACT ALL OF THE PULP FROM TOMATO PEEL-
INGS, AND IN PACKING PUMPKIN DOES ALL THE WORK
OF PEELING AND SIFTING ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT WASTE.
These machines are fully guaranteed to work
satisfactorily and will be sent to any responsible
party with privilege of returning at our expense
if after five days' trial it fails to do what we claim
for it. The testimony of dealers in canned goods
is that pumpkin prepared hy this machine is
superior to that packed by any other process,
and although we only claim a capacity of fifty
tons of pumpkin in ten hours, we believe the
machine capable of doing double that quantity.
We also furnish to purchasers of this machine
our exact process for packing pumpkin.
Send your order early to avoid the annoy-
ance and loss liable to come from delay.
We shall introduce this season as a compan-
ion to the Cyclone, a machine for tilling cans
with pumpkin, which will have a capacity of abou', 3,000 cans an hour. We will send this machine
out with the same guarantee, viz.. on rive days' trial with privilege of returning at our expense if it fails
to give entire satisfaction.
THE BUCKLIN
Detroit, Mich., Feb. 14, 1890
Gentlemen : We have used your Can Filler one season and can
say that it is the only machine that equals hand work. We have
used power fillers, but for packing goods of first quality, your ma-
chine is decidedly the best we have ever used.
Dailey Preserving Co.,
Per E. G. Dailey.
Greenwood, Ind., October, 7, 1890
Gentlemen : The pulp grinders sent by express reached us yes-
terday and the one by freight came in this morning We have tried
them enough to make us think you ought to find a new name for it
for we think the word, Cyclone, hardly expresses the smartness of
the machine. A cyclone might knock some things worse than the
machine, but it certainly could not knock out all the good there is
in pumpkins or tomato peelings as fast and as well as the machine.
Yours Truly,
J.

CAN FILLER,
This is theonly Can Filling Machine which will fill cans with toma-
toes equal to careful hand-packing. It requires less power than
any other machine, and consequently there is less mutila-
tion of fruit, and when the cans are cut open the
tomatoes will be found nearly whole.
Atlantic, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1890.
Gents: Enclosed please find New York draft calling for one hun-
dred and fifty dollars, amount in full for invoice, Sept. 13, 1890, for
which please receipt. We take pleasure in remitting for your Cy-
clone Pumpkin machine after a very successful and thorough test of
time allowed us, and we are willing to concede the point that it is a
veritable cyclone on a pumpkin pile, doing its wO'k in a perfect and
satisfactory manner.

Springville, N. V., March 22, 1890.

CAPPER NO. 3.
Caps 16 2-lb. cans at each operation and has

GREEN CORN PACKING MACHINERY
MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY THE
BARKER MANUFACTURING CO
OLDEST AND LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF CANNING HOUSE MACHINERY
IN THE UNITED STATES.
HAND CORN CUTTER.
CAPACITY 3.O00 CANS PER DAY.
This machine does not mash the corn nor cut up the cob
and mix it with the pulp so that it cannot be separated, as all
other automatic cutters do. The knives can be eaujred to cut
any required depth of kernel without mashing or jambing the
same, the remaining corn being removed by a series of scrapers.
THE POWER
CUTTER
The Power cutter is essentially the same asthe hand cutter but does the work much better and quicker
The same arrangement of knives and scrapers is used as on the hand cutter, only made a little heavier.
We do not hesitate in saying that the quality of corn cut with this machine cannot be equalled by any
other corn cutter in existence. The corn is freer from small particles
of cob, is less mashed, and the cob is entirely cleaned.
We publish below a sample of the hundreds of testimonials we have
leceived from packers using our machinery. 1 he rirm of Burnham &
Morrill have used the Barker Cutters exclusively since 1876, and in
their numerous factories ovvn 60 hand cutters, 19 power cutters, 15 can
washers and 8 can tillers.
THE POWER CUTTER.
CAPACITY 10,000 CANS PER DAY.
The Barker Manufacturing Co., Portland, Me.
Gentlemen :We have useil your Power Cutters, and think they are superior to anything we
have ever seen for cutting green corn from the cob. One power cutter will do the work of four
hand cutters, and in a better manner. We are very much pleased with them.
Yours Respectfully, Burnham & Morkill.

A^chine
Patented June 18, 1889
For removing silk and small pieces of cob and for cleaning the corn thoroughly whether whole,
cut or scraped, is made of iron strongly built and braced throughout. All parts likely to come
in contact with corn are covered with galvanized iron. All silk is removed from the corn before
it goes to the sieve, thus preventing its clogging and this is the point on which we claim superior-
ity over all others.
This machine will pay for itself in one season as it increases the value of the corn by being so
thoroughly cleaned.
OUR CAN FILLER
Can't be beat
; ^
it is the most perfect working machine
made, filling and weighing accurately from
75
to 100 cans
per minute. Its action is entirely automatic requiring but
one person to shovel the corn into the hopper, and a boy to
place the cans in a spout overhead, when they will drop down, place themselves under the nozzle and
be pushed out upon the table, weighed and filled.
Attached to the Filler, is a self-acting pump which may be regulated so as to put any quantity of water
into the cans before they are filled.
We are going to put upon the market this coming season a combination Can Filler that will fill toma-
toes, squash, pumpkins, in fact anything that is packed in three lb. cans as well as corn.
OUR CAN WASHER
Is instantaneous in its action washing and drying a can in a
fraction of a second leaving the entire top, including the groove
entirely dry. It can be utilized in packing anything that is
put up in circular stud-top cans. It requires no particular skill
and a person after five minutes' practice can clean from forty to
sixty cans per minute.
We manufacture and can supply packers with fire pots, bath
room fire pots, engines, boilers, shafting, pulley hangers, belting,
in fact everything needed in a first class canning house.
We are also agents for one of the largest printing houses in
the United States and can furnish labels of all kinds at reduced
rates
Parties contemplating enlarging their factories or putting in
new machinery, or wish to acquaint themselves with the most

HE price of the JONES 5
ton $60 Wagon Scales has never
changed since
1879, when the price of iron advanced so
rapidly. Scales have come and Scales have gone. We have seen
very high priced Scales sold on account of the name, and very
low priced Scales because of the price. All makers unite in con-
demning the [ONES Scale because it is a first-class Scale, fully
warranted, and sold at a fair price. The big bugs dislike it because
it has decreased their robbing profits; and the little bugs, the 2
ton
$40
and
3
ton
$35,
fellows hate us because customers take
our well-known and reliable
5
