WATER WHEEL.
THE undersigned having accepted the
agency ior the itii.oe namyl wheel, w.nild
call the attention, of the proprietors of Mills
Factories, Sec. ice, to themany advantages
they would derive from using it. It is well
adaptedt to all purposes for which a water
wheel is used. 1 he small space it occupies,
and the velocity of its motion, are attract
ive feature. It requires but a small amonnt
of gearing, lee does aot affect it. Workt
as well on borixontalr at vertical shaft. Suit
able to any locality. Not affected by back
water. It Is simple cheap and durable. One
of the wheels can be seen in nperatioa at
Foard, Tatura feCo's, MiU on South Yadkin
River. .
I hare been in the Mill wriirht business
for 25 years, and consider this by far the best
when i nave ever yet mat with. This wheel
costs from $15 "to $275, according to sixe.
