2 prints: chromolithograph; 13 x 9 cm. (5 x 3.5 in.) Trade card issued during the Columbian Exposition of 1893 advertising Enterprise Mf'g Co. of Pa. "Enterprise bone, Shell and Corn Mills." Contains an anachronistic scene including a caricaturized depiction of William Penn's Treaty with the Indian Also contains a view of the Electrical Building designed by Van Brunt & Howe. The exposition held in Chicago May 1-October 30, 1898 celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Pa. was established in 1866. Advertising text printed on verso: Enterprise Bone, Shell and Corn mills. Two Styles. It is a well-known fact that Bone, Meal, Ground Shells, Cracked Corn, etc. are excellent for poultry. These mills are especially adapted to grinding Bones, Shells, Corn, Roots, Bark, Grain, Chicken Feed, etc. When it is considered that pure raw bone meal is one of the best fertilizers, they will soon pay for themselves for that purpose alone. The grinders are warranted as hard as and equal to hardened cast steel, and can be regulated to grind coarse or fine, by adjusting a thumb-screw near the centre of the fly-wheel. They are good general mills for farmers, poultrymen, etc., and for compactness, strength and durability we consider them unexcelled. Our No. 650 commends itself to those who wish to save space. It is intended to be screwed or fastened to a wall, post, etc. Capacity of these mills, about 1 1/4 bushels of corn per hour. these mills are not intended for grinding "green bones," but can be used for that purpose after the bones have been dried. Prices. No. 650...$7.50. No. 750,...$7.50. Printed on verso: For Sale by the Hardware Trade. Send for Catalogue. The Enterprise M'f'g Co. of Pa., Third & Dauphin Sts., Philadelphia, U.S.A.
