Elevator Cups (Improved.)

Of all the sizes required for any kind of an elevator we make in our establishment. Having long employed a workman on this work with special machinery of our own, and as we buy the stock in large quantities, we are as well equipped as it is possible to be for making this useful appendage of a flour mill. Their advantages are: durability and economy, the different sizes are perfectly uniform, of the smaller and medium sizes the body is made of heavy tin, and all having an iron band neatly and skilfully secured around the upper edge. It makes a thoroughly strong, smooth, at the same time a light cup, and offering the least resistance in passing through the grain of any cup now offered.

They are less liable to catch on the sides of the Elevator trunking, and no breaking and tearing as is common to the cheap wired or rough iron cups secured to the belt in the ordinary manner. Cheap cups made in the usual style, wired tops, for old mills and repair jobs, constantly on hand.

Our Improved Fastening.

This is of special advantage, has been used since 1869, and all who use and see it pronounce it vastly superior. It is a copper clasp nicely contrived to firmly clamp the bucket to the belt. It perforates the belt and cup through two or three slotted openings. The cup can be easily removed from the belt; it does not cut the belt so as to weaken it; it prevents the cups from tipping as they pass down. The expense is some more than screws, but those having put up common warehouse elevators with this fastening, think it the cheapest article in use.
