Minnesota Chief Separator.
NA
AIN
ER
4
Belted Side of the Machine.
ONLY FOUR DRIVNG BELTS ON THE SEPARATOR, VIZ :
One main belt, running from the Cylinder and driving the Fan; one small belt driving the only Beater in the machine; one belt driving the Grain Rake and one belt driving the Straw Carrier.
It is neither a Vibrator nor an Apron Machine, but far surpasses either in all the essential requisites of a Perfect Thresher.
It is easy of management, light running, capable of very rapid threshing, as the Separating Table and Sieves will take care of all that can be passed the Cylinder. In separating and cleaning it excels all others.
It threshes everything a farmer has to thresh-Wheat, Rye, Oats, Barley, Flax, Timothy, Millet, Clover and Peas. It handles Flax and Timothy nearly as rapidly as grain, requiring no change of parts, sieves, and cleans them fit for market. With its Clover Attachment it threshes Clover fully equal to any Huller ..
It is by far the most popular Separator in the market, outselling all others wherever known. It invariably secures the most and best jobs of threshing.

INTRODUCTORY.
In presenting this, the twenty-sixth volume of the Indianapolis City Directory, the Publishers feel confident that nothing has been omit- ted on their part bearing on accuracy or completeness, and that neither money nor labor have been spared to supply a thoroughly trustworthy Directory in all respects.
This Directory contains 33,121 names, (including Irvington, Bright- wood, North Indianapolis, Belmont, Mt. Jackson and Haughsville), showing an increase over last year of 1,621, which, at the usual ratio of of three inhabitants to one name, represents a gain of 4,863, thus indi- cating a marked advancement in the growth of our city and suburbs for the past year.
We present to each subscriber an official map of the city, engraved from the latest surveys.
For the benefit of our advertising patrons, Directories have been placed in the lobby of the postoffice, and in the waiting-rooms of the Union depot.
With thanks to the citizens for their support and cordial co-opera- tion, we submit the work for their kind consideration.
