Museum' —Continued :from Page 2a Another acquirement which Mr. ITeil1 has made this summer and which is now .on display at the museum is a steam thresher which came into use around 1890, Second Type. This thresher, with a horizontal boiler, la the second type of steam thresher used in Ontario, Mr. Neill said, It uses a return flue syatenn and produces 1.4 horse- power. It was built by the George White Company in London. " He already has on display the first type of steam thresher, with a vertical boiler, which was first used in the 1870'x. Now he wants to progress to the third stage in the development of this type of farm machinesy, and he's on the lookout for a self- propelled steam tractor. But he won't stop once he's found it. "I've got an idea I'd like to make a collection of old .cream separators," he said. And at the rate Mr, Neill is going, he'l do just that. (Goderich Signal -Star) WWII BIGGEST A1.1.0 INANC ON YOUR.
