The subscriber being fully impressed with the idea, that labor        saving mechanics of whatever description they may be, are of the        utmost importance in a national as well as in an individual point of        view, takes the liberty to offer to the public a few MACHINES,        original in their construction, not so complex in their nature,        cheaper to erect, not so liable to go out of repair, and which        require fewer hands and less skill for their attendance, than any        other machines now in operation, that will do the same work in so        short a time.  They are as follows:
      
      1.     Machines to cut and head nails.
      2.    A machine to make cards by the turning of a      crank.
      3.    A machine to make shot by pressure.
      4.    A machine to card and spin in one operation (by      hand or water.)
      5.    A machine to weave from 10 to 50 webs at once,      with the attendance of one man and a boy.
      6.    A Steam-Engine for boats or mills proved to      have one-third more power than those in common use.
      
      With about thirty more, some of them equal in point of value   with      those above; but from the impracticability of getting   admittance in      a newspaper, for so voluminous a schedule as would be   necessary to      give a complete description of their several parts,   he necessarily      is forced to postpone it for the present.  
    Therefore any      gentleman or company of gentlemen wishing to   obtain information on      this subject, will please to direct a few   lines (post paid or he      will not attend to them) to the subscriber   now dwelling in      Chillicothe, who will render every satisfaction in   his power.
