W. Coleman Inventor avnd
Patentee Now Located on
West C Street.
A. W. Coleman tbe inventor aod
patentee of the Perfeioioo fruit and
vegetable evaporator, bus again es
tablish, d himself in Grauta Pa8, hav
ing rented a building on Meet U
street, for the purpose of mauufjetar
lug this drying apparatus which ap
pears to be so ntceesaiy an adjuuet to
fruit raising. Mr. Colemau s ma
chine seems to overcome the weak
points ol most othtr drying apirato,
in that bis ia les xpeuidve, is not
cumbersome, can be takeu into the
home, and is simple of operation.
Tbe machine ia mads iu sizes to
etapoiate Irom 15 buthele to 100
bu-nels per day and the prices range
from $150 to $325 per machine, ac
cording to size. Mr. Coleman says
that one of thfse machima will pay
for liself in 80 to 6U days ia tbe
evaporation f your second claea
ruita. It will alao evaporate iquaab
or sweet cam witu equal facility.
Jn addition to ita value for caring
fruits, vegstables, etc., it will be
found, durisg long damp or rainy
speila a great convenience for dry lug
cloth aa it will thoroughly dry
towel, napkins, etc, iu from eight to
10 minutes, aud heavier materials in
proportionate time, while heating
the Irons for ironing them at the sauia
time. It can be run in the open air
or in the house, aa, if it is pioperly
connected with a ohimney, neither
heat nor the moisture from drying
fruits or clothe escape into the room.
A little second class frnit mixtd in
with a lot of first-class fruit, gives
the commission men an rxuuee to rate
it all aa aeoond-claei, and they seldom
I fall to do it If fruit growera would
alwaya work up their seooud-clas
fruit at home by evporating it, and
alao their Urst-clsas fruit wbeu the
price falls below fair profit, they, and
uot the dealers or middlemen would
be masters of the situation, and aa
evanorted frulte bave all of America
and eight foreign conntries for mar
ket, and tbe grower can bold it 'till
he ia ready to sell, there is no danger
of a glutted market for it, or price
so low that It will not pay fair profit
for time and labor iuvrsted. .
Mr. Coleman ia preparing to mano
fsctore this evaporating machine on
a large scale, and the apparatus seems
to be so practical and ao superior to
other aimilar machines tbat the in
dustry aliould soon develop into a
permaueut commercial institution tot
Uranta Pass and furnish employment
for qul e number of famiiiea.
