WORRELL'S SAND AND CLAY DRIERS.
WE are pleased to again call attention to the advertisement of these excellent machines in our advertising columns of this issue. They are in successful operation in a number of our best glass factories and sand works. To show their wide distribution we will state that the San Francisco & Pacific Glass Works use one, and one was recently shipped to the Union Sand Paper & Emery Wheel Co., of Boston, Mass.
These are the only machines that dry and screen sand in one operation, and they do their work perfectly at the remarkably small expense of ten cents per ton. They are also perfectly adapted for drying any clay that can be granulated. One of the largest sized machines has been in use for two years by the Eastern Hydraulic Press Brick Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., drying about ten thousand pounds per hour of very wet and sticky New Jersey clay. These parties state that they could hardly operate their works without this drier, and that they believe it is the only one able to do their work.
We would suggest that miners of potters' and ochre clays would find it much more profitable and expeditious to use these machines than their present crude and tedious drying methods.
The patentee and builder, Mr. S.E. Worrell, of Hannibal, Mo., will be pleased to mail his illustrated catalogue to interested parties.
