Extract from an advertisement of Mr.
Workman.
"He deems it unnecessary for him to
bestow any encomiums upon this im
provement in the art of compressing
Cotton. Suffice it to say, that the ease
and cheapness with which it can be
erected, and the small force required to
work it, are sufficient to recommend it;
saying nothing of its superior pow er and
durability.7'
