2132. HUGHES and SONS, Dover Road, and 29 Mark Lane, London.

French burr millstones flour-dressing and grain-cleaning machines.

J. HUGHES and SONS have an extensive stock of French millstones, made from a very superior quality of burr, obtained from quarries recently discovered in France, and which, for workmanship and finish, cannot be excelled.

J. H. and Sons are also importers of Cologne stones, Granite peak, and grindstones direct from the quarries. Have always on hand at Mark Lane an assortment of flour-dressing machines, patent grain cleaners and bolting machines, best machine wire for cylinders, screen and kiln wire, square and round smut wire, wove by machinery; bolting cloths; best leather millbands; iron and brass sheave blocks; metal provers and staffs; corn and flour sacks; measures; machine brushes, all bristle; sack and heaving barrows; mill bills; and all other articles used in mills.

Hughes and Sons employ none but the best workmen; and, employing no travellers, avoid the necessarily high expenses connected therewith; and are thus in a position to give their customers all the advantages from this circumstance, as well as those arising from adequate capital, combined with practical judgment.

All goods are delivered free to wharves or railways in London.
