Among the many advertisements for agricultural machinery, this image is relatively unique in showing several workers using the equipment. It sold for $245--or about $8,500 in contemporary terms--and thus represented a significant investment for farmers. New York State Agricultural Works was run by engineers Alonzo Wheeler and William B. Melick in Albany, NY where it persisted until bankruptcy in 1888.';

This image appears in an extensive advertisement for a mechanical dresser--or rather, three different models--that would be used on farms. It promises faster speeds and better yields than a hand-operated process called \"hackling.\" Like other farm implements of this time, a major facet of its sales pitch is the industrial model of deskilling labor, and thus lowering wages: \"This machine does not require in its use any peculiar skill. It can be operated by boys or girls, and does not involve any risk to the hands or arms of the operatives, while the ordinary machines require the use of skilled labor, and as experience has proved are always attended with risk to the operatives” (296).';

In clockwise order from the top, we see the arts of landscaping and decorative gardening; a barnyard with various farm animals including a dairy cow at rear; a farmhouse with fields being plowed and seeded with grains; and a group of fruit-pickers in an orchard. All are depicted as facets of a modern, integrated farm. But decorative images--sheaves of wheat, barrels of cider, vegetables, hand tools--also seem to be updating an older symbol of cornucopia. It was an ideal few real-life farms could realistically attain.';

var str = 'Number 18 on the Burleigh map, for a period this Caledonia firm was nationally known for its patented equipment--especially bean harvesters. Factory was founded by the McColl Brothers in 1868, until purchased in 1880 by Alexander and his son F[red] W. When Alexander died, F.W. Miller continued growing the business thanks to innovative designs.
An admiring profile in 1895 wrote that “Mr. Miller has alone and single handed worked up a large and extensive business in the manufacture of implements of all kinds, and it has grown beyond the control of one man. The firm will probably build new works in course of the coming year providing a suitable location can be secured in a more convenient proximity to the railroad depots” (Caledonia Advertiser 1 Dec 1895). This was to prove fateful, as Miller in seeking growth moved to Leroy, NY and sold patents to the Leroy Plow Company; he lost a legal dispute over their ownership in 1904.
These advertisements illustrate some of F.W. Miller\'s products.';
