The New Zealand and Australian Land Company (Ltd ) Messrs WRIGHT. STEPHENSON, and CO.. Dunedin. Dunedin, October 26, 1885 Dear Sirs, — In reply to your inquiry aa to our opinion of PEKRIER'S PATENT WOOIi-I'HBSS.'a* (supplied by Humble and Nicholson, we got one for last season's work, which satisfied us so well that wo ordered two more this season. — Yours faithfully, (Signed) THE NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIAN LAND COMPANY (Ltd > THOS. BKYDONB, Superintendent. To Messrs HUMBLE and NICHOLSON, Geelong. Muntham. October 27, 1880. Dear Sirs, — The wool-press I got from you is working very well, and is much admired by all who have been to see it at work, a great number having called. Such pi-ess should suit the large sheds in Eiverinu veiT.andif your press was used there I think it would be soon in universal use in the larger sheds. lam luraJng out about 35 bales a day with two men, but if they had a third man to sew the two sides of the bai after coming from the press they could do about 45 bales a day. JOSEPH B. PEA KSON To Messrs HUMBLE and NICHOLSON. December 2, 1883. Dear Sirs. —l may tell you that one of D. Ferrier's Wool-presses sent to me has exceeded my expectation! and that it makes wool-pressing, from being the hardest, one of the lightest jobs in. tlie shed. I may also say that I get it done 25 per cent, cheaper than formerly by a sci-ewpress ; also, we are able to get more into the bales with less work.— l am, &c, E. H. RHODES, Jun. Extract from letter re Wool-press, from J. L. Brown, The Brigalows Station, Warren, to P. Lasseter and Co Messrs P. Lassetter and Co., Sydney. The Brigalows, October 22, 188 J. Dear Sirs,— The Ferrier Wool-press works well, and is the PRESS OF THE DAY. One man is doiiis* all my pressing, with the help of a little boy to hand him the fleeces. My bales all go -lew tto4j of very clean greasy wool, and is no trouble for the man to press down, and the speed of putting the ram-head up alter the bale is sewn is simply incredible. The tumbling-box is also a grand improvement, on tlie travelling-boi principle, for it saves any climbing to begin the work, and, vhen filled, is only tlie -work of halt v minute to •vind into its place, ready for action. I have just finished n b.ile of clean sorted locks, which took two men •n the lever-bar to press, and it weighs lOcwt 271b. This I did to test the heavy chain, the smaller chain nad a flaw in one oi the links, and gave way the second day of work. It any fault enn he lound iv this new Vress it is in the boxes splitting with the excessive heat or thio part ; otherwise, the mechanism, simplicity, rower, and speed is all that can be desired; and lam sure this will be the result with an voile who usm !hem ; and I feel proud of having selected a FERKIER, for, with ordinary care, it will last a lifetime.--Kespectfully yours, (Signed) JNO. L. BKOWN. Other Testimonials and Particulars given if required. We have added several Important Improvements to the above Press, which make it considerably stronger. For further Particulars and Price (delivered here) apply to WRIGHT, STEPHENSON & CO., DDNHDIH;<W, MR. J. E. GLOYEE. Shag Fambv. '
