COLLINS. Gladding s Ilay Elevator. THE above engraving is intended to represent a HAY ELEVATOR, or Horse Power Pitchfork, patented last season by C. E. GLADDING, of Troy, Pa. This Elevator possesses many important advantages over all other forks, among which are the following :—The tines being allow ed to drop to discharge its load, the tilting of the handle as in other power forks, is avoided J hence, hay can lie unloaded with the utmost facility and ease into shed win dows or beneath purlin beams, and many places where other Horse Forks cannot be used. The Elevator can in all cases be managed with greater ease than any other Horse Fork. It is also well adapted to stacking. With this Fork a ton of hay can be unloaded in from five to seven minutes. This Elevator received the first premium after thorough triul'and competition, at the last New York and Pennsylvania State Fair*. TESTIMONIALS. HORNBY, X. Y.. Aug. 3], 18,58.
