NicholsCentennial wind mill.

[Illustration]

Contains all the valuable features of his old “Nichols’ Mills” with none of their defects.  This is the only balanced mill without a vane.  It is the only mill balanced on its center.  It is the only mill built on correct scientific principles so as to govern perfectly.

ALL VANES

Are mechanical devices used to overcome the mechanical defect of forcing the wheel to run out of its natural position.

A wind wheel becomes its own vane if no vane is used, hence, vanes—­save only to balance the wheel—­are useless for good, and are only useful to help blow the mill down.

This mill will stand a heavier wind, run steadier, last longer, and crow louder than any other mill built.  Our confidence in the mill warrants us in offering the first mill in each county where we have no agent, at agents’ prices and on 30 days’ trial.

Our power mills have 25 per cent more power than any mill with a vane.  We have also a superior feed mill adapted to wind or other power.  It is cheap, durable, efficient.  For circulars, mills, and agencies, address
