Mr. Lang of Mariposa. Mr. Fanning of Cambrsy. Mr. Cayley of Ops. Mr. O’Connor of Ennismore and Mr. Howard Davidson of Little Britain were a few of the purchasers, and those gentlemen would not} exchange them for any other axle made. They are a high price, but withal a cheap axle, all their good qualities considered. They are guaranteed to travel 1000 miles with one oiling. and are perfectly dust proof. The oil is distributed from the cups in such a manner that it reaches just the spot where it is needed. This year I have gone into this style of axle very largely. and I want every intending purchaser to call and be convinced that in is the axle, and the only first-class axle in use today. Don’t fall to ace the 1000 mile axle below you buy. It will pay you to have a sett. I have something new in shafts that I w'ant‘you to see also.
