An ad in the Vermonter:

A Great Combination
Good Cows
and a
U.S. Separator fill the Farmer's Pockets with money!
The U.S. Separator gets all the cream from the milk,
The cream makes the butter
The skim milk makes the calf.
All bring in the cash.

On March 13, 1883, the Newport Express and Standard
gave an extended account of the new International Mill, which
had the following men as it's officer's:
Hon. J.L. Edwards, president; Mr. L.C.Grandy, general
manager; Mr. H.E. Folsom, treasurer; Messrs Emmons
Raymond, W.K. Blodgett, Alanson Spear, Charles Pierce
and Amos Barnes, directors.
Authorized capital $200,000; capacity of the mill 25,000
feet per day.
Large contracts were made with leading houses and the
company expects to do a business of $500,000 a year.
For a long period the International Company employed
125 or more at their mills. It was considered the largest industry
of it's kind in the Eastern States.

Advertisment from Walton's Vermont Register, Farmer's Almanac
and Business directory for 1873:

R. Daniels' Patent Apple Crusher, for Crushing Apples,
Grapes, Corn, etc.
This mill consist of two Crushing Rollers of different sizes
running equal revolutions, so as to give the apple a rolling
motion while being crushed, turned and planed exactly true,
with ribs projecting one-sixteenth of an inch, just wide enough
to set the Rolls apart to let the apple seeds through, and are
kept apart with two set screws so arranged that you can widen
the space between the Rolls so as to let a peach stone through
without cracking it. The rolls are held together by springs and
can be set so light that one lb. pressure would hold them apart,
or they can be set hard enough to crack corn. This arrangment
allows nails, stones, and hard substances to pass between the
Rolls without injury to the mill. This is a principle which no other
Mill has a right to use. We warrent our Power Cider MIlls to
crush a bushel or more apples with less power, less time with
the same power, get more cider, clearer and better than can
be done in any other Apple Mill now in use in this country. We
build three sizes, viz:
No.1, Hand mill (without Press) will crush 50 bushel per
hr. with horse power, with man 5 to 15. Price $30.
No.2, One horse power, 50 to 100 bushels per hr. Price $50.
No. 3, Two horse power, 100 to 200 bushels per hr. Price $60.

>From Orleans County Monitor, April 19, 1897:

Sutton: Our sugar makers are not ready to sell their sugar
at the present price, five ents per pound!

Lowell: V.M. Parker will put in machinery for the manufacture
of butter bores, utilizing a portion of his gristmill for this purpose.
Charles Austin has purchased a new bicycle of parties in
Chicago, and is ready to sell one like it to any party wanting a wheel.
