TIMOTHY CARROLL

INVENTOI AND SOLE OWNER OF THE CARROLL LOAD DUMPING APPARATUS

THE CARROLL DUMP

The dumping apparatus which has proven such a boon to the
raisers and shippers of sugar beets in Southern California is also
invaluable for saving time, labor, and money to shippers of any
commodity which is shipped in bulk ; and these few illustra-
tions with the accompanying letters of commendation are pre-
sented to the public with the view of introducing this remark-
able invention into general use throughout the United States.

The great importance of this invention will be better under-
stood when the circumstances which called it forth are related.
These are as follows :

In 1893 a large beet sugar factory was built at Chino, in San
Bernardino county, California, and the business of raising sugar
beets to supply this factory became a very important industry
throughout the country for many miles around. Thousands of
acres of beets were cultivated in Orange county, which adjoins
San Bernardino county, and the station at Anaheim, Mr. Car-
roll's home, became an important shipping point at which thou-
sands of tons of beets were loaded upon the railway cars fcr
transportation to Chino. These beets were brought by the
farmers in large wagonloads drawn by from two to six
horses.

In order to unload the beets from the wagon a net was laid
in each wagon before the beets were loaded, and one side of the
net was fastened to the wagon. At the station an inclined
apron was arranged at one side of the car, and the wagon was
drawn up alongside the apron with the free edge of the net
away from the apron. The free edge was then grappled by a
derrick and drawn upward until the net was in a perpendicular
position, thereby causing the beets to fall on to the apron, down
which they slid into the car. This was the most rapid mode

known at that time for unloading the beets, and it is still in
vogue in beet raising localities where the Carroll Dump has not
been introduced.

This mode of unloading, however, is so slow that it was
found impossible to serve the teams at Anaheim as fast as they
came ; and so large numbers of teams had to await their turn
and often thirty loaded wagons would be seen waiting over
night to take their turn next morning.

In 1894 Mr. Timothy Carroll, the inventor of this valuable
dump, had about one thousand tons of beets to ship, and having
previously invented and patented numerous labor-saving de-
vices of various kinds, he determined to avoid waiting in line
with his neighbors, and so setting to work to solve the problem,
he built a private dump for his own use, embodying the princi-
pal features of the present improved machine ; and by this first
crude dump his thirteen-year-old boy was able to unload a five-
ton load from his wagon into the car on the railroad track in
one minute with the aid of the teamster only.

The wonderful success of this private dump caused the farm-
ers of that vicinity to immediately make arrangements to profit
by this invention ; and under Mr. Carroll's direction, a large
dump was built from which all of the Anaheim beet crop was
dumped the next season, and no team had to wait its turn, be-
cause the loads were dumped as fast as the teamsters could
drive on and off the dump.

Another dump was built at Buena Park the same season
(1895), and Mr. Carroll immediately proceeded to protect his
rights by United States patents, the dates of which are given
on the title page of this pamphlet.

This dump has rapidly gone into use under the protection of
Mr. Carroll's patents and is now used at numerous stations in
Southern California and elsewhere by the following 1 factories :

We illustrate herein a few of these dumps in operation.

This invention is specially adapted for unloading bulk loads
of unwieldy products such as sugar-cane, which cannot other-
wise be handled except by very laborious means. Its value for
use for loading and unloading cars of coal, coke, stone, and corn,
and other kinds of grain, will be apparent from the accompany-
ing cuts.

To unload a wagonload or carload by means of this dump, the
wagon or car is first run upon the dump. In the case of a wagon
the team is not unhitched, but remains standing on a solid plat-
form while the load is being dumped. When the vehicle is upon
the dump an attendant will hook a rope or chain, which hangs
above the platform for the purpose, to a catch which holds the
side of the vehicle-bed in place. Then he will throw a lever
which brings a support against the hubs of the wheels, or in
case of a car it may be brought against a suitable part of the
truck frame. Then another lever is thrown, thus tipping the

dump platform and the vehicle sidewise. As the vehicle tips,
the catch is held by the chain and is released, the side of the
wagon drops down and the load slides off ; then the dump-lever is
thrown down, thus bringing the wagon to upright position ; the
first lever is returned to its first position, thus releasing the
hubs ; the attendant throws the side of the wagon up into
place, where it is caught by the catch provided for this purpose,
and the teamster is ready to drive on.

A wagonload can readily be dumped in thirty seconds ; and
when the apparatus is worked steadily, a load, regardless
of size, can be dumped every minute. The apparatus will
dump a one-horse load or a ten- ton load with equal facility, ex-
cepting that ordinarily the dump is balanced to dump large
loads and consequently is more easily operated for large loads
than for small ones.

The operation of dumping a railway car is practically the
same as that above described, with the exception that more
powerful apparatus is used for operating the lever to return the
dump to its upright position. A chain is also provided, in addi-
tion to the wheel support, for holding the car on the platform,
aud is also preferably used on the wagon dump for additional
security.

This apparatus is absolutely safe, and no accident has ever
occurred with the use of any of Mr. Carroll's dumps. By this
device no strain conies upon the flanges of the wheels of the car,
and the car and wagon are not subjected to any strain what-
ever, the load sliding off gradually as the vehicle tips.

It will be seen that by means of this invention the load can be
let off just as easily as may be desired.

An apron or chute is hinged to the dump frame, in position to
receive the load as it is dumped, and can be made solid or with a
screen bottom, to clean the beets or other material as they pass
over the same.

SHOWING TILTING FRAME AND BIFURCATED OPERATING LEVERS, FOR OPERATING BOTH WAYS

IMPROVED CARROLL DUMP

Dumping- from either or both sides, and from any one car or a number of cars at the same time

An important feature of the Carroll system of dumping is
that the load is dumped by its own weight, the tilting frame on
which the wagon is placed being so pivoted that when the
loaded wagon or car is driven on the dump the center of gravity
is outside of the pivotal point, so that as soon as the holding
cables are released the frame will tilt to dump the load. Then
when the load is dumped, the loss of weight to the outside of
the pivot will cause the frame and wagon or car to overbalance
toward the inside of the pivot, and the frame will swing back
to righted position. During both of these movements the frame
is always under control of the brake, so that the speed either in
dumping or "righting" can be regulated as desired.

No "power" is therefore needed to operate the system, either
in dumping or "righting" and the dump man only has to
move the clutching and brake levers. In some cases the load
may not be heavy enough to over-balance the frame and dump
itself, and in that case the dump man can start it by a few
turns of the winch handle.

THE CARROLL DUMP

ON SCOWS
FOR LOADING VESSELS

For convenient use at side tracks, where the business is not
sufficient to justify the erection of a dump, Mr. Carroll has pro-
vided a portable dump mounted upon car-trucks, and which can
be drawn along the railroad from station to station and placed
upon a side track, and there used until the beets at that station
are loaded, after which the dump will be transported to other
side track stations, and so on until the campaign is ended. By
this means the farmers are given the privilege of a dump with-
out having to haul a long distance and without the expense of
building numerous dumps.

The benefit which this invention will be to railroads for hand-
ling their fuel is very great, as by means of it a carload of coal
can be instantly dumped, and there is no danger of any of the
parts getting out of order, and all of the parts are easy to be
got at and cannot .freeze up, as is often the case with the car
having hopper-bottom dumps.

For use on wharves for loading vessels from cars or wagons,
the value of this invention is inestimable. As may be seen
from the illustrations, the portable dump is adapted to be moved
from point to point along a wharf.

This invention can readily be applied in the handling of sugar
cane, not only in the unloading of the same from cars or wagons,
but also in placing the cane on carriers to be conveyed to the
crushers, a tilting platform being arranged onto which the
loads can be dumped, and from which the cane can be slid onto
the carriers as desired, the inclination of the platform being
changed to any degree required for unloading the cane gradually
onto the carriers.

No beet sugar factory or cane sugar factory can afford to be
without this equipment, for by means of it carloads and wagon-
loads of the materials can be dumped instantaneously into the
bins, and traveling dumps or gangs of stationary dumps can be

provided as desired, so that all of the bins can readily be
served.

The Carroll system of dumping can be applied with advantage
to handling trainloads of rock, earth, etc., enabling one or a
few attendants to dump simultaneously a large number of cars,
or to dump one or more loads at any desired point. Thus, a
trestle, or a scow, or platform of any kind may be provided with
dumping frames on each side tilting in opposite directions so as
to dump at each side, either for unloading into vehicles, or
vessels, or for building up a breakwater or embankment.
Wagons can also be unloaded in large numbers by similar means.

Where a number of teams are to be attended to, teams and
wagons may be driven simultaneously onto the tilting frames on
the opposite sides of the dump and both trainloads dumped at
the same instant ; or in case only the load from one team is to
be dumped on one side and the load from two teams is to be
dumped on the other side, the tilting frames will be appropri-
ately connected and disconnected so that the dumping can pro-
ceed as desired.

The application of the invention in connection with scows is
of especial importance, as it enables freight to be transferred
in bulk to lighters or directly to vessels, with the utmost dis-
patch, and in building up a breakwater it enables the rock to be
quickly unloaded from wagons or from cars, and permits the
dumping to be concentrated at any particular part of the break-
water or to be effected simultaneously over the whole, as may
be desired.

To load a vessel, a portable dumping- frame, placed on a scow,
is loaded on both sides with cars, and the scow is pulled out
alongside the vessel by a tug. The cars on one side are then
dumped into the vessel, and the scow is then turned round and
the cars on the other side dumped, suitable chutes being pro-
vided to run the material into the vessel.

PLAN OF PORTABLE DUMP ON BINS

SHOWS BINS WITH TRUSS ROOF OVER BEET SHED, AND DUMPING FRAMES ON TRACKS SO AS TO BE PORTABLE OVER BINS

In many large plants, such as beet sugar works, coal mines and yards, and ore min-
ing and reduction works, the Carroll system is invaluable in facilitating rapid handling
of the raw material, and to further expedite the dumping operations and provide for
handling and storing the largest quantities of material in such plants with a minimum of
labor and with the utmost rapidity, Mr. Carroll has devised a system of storage bins that
can advantageously be used in connection with his special dumping apparatus.

The bins, of any desired length, say several hundred feet, are built side by side in
any desired number, a track or way being built along each bin, and the dump frames
being mounted on trucks that travel along said tracks.

An elevated platform extends along and parallel to the outermost track at each side
of the system, enabling the teams to come up one platform and descend from the other.
The series of dump frames being placed end to end on the series of tracks constitute a
movable roadway that may be shifted to any line across the bins, so that the bins can be
gradually filled up along their whole length.

By the use of trestles carrying feeder tracks the same principle can be applied to
unloading railway trains into bins.

Any factory can save from $30,000 to $40,000 by using the Carroll system of beet
dumps and bins. Four men, by this system, can unload and feed the flumes of a 1200-ton
factory. We can prove our assertions to the satisfaction of any competent corps of
engineers.

THE CARROLL DUMP AT BENEDICT, CAL.

THE CARROLL DUMP AT MONTALVO, CAL.

In connection with this dumping system Mr. Carroll has patented a clutch, whereby a large num-
ber of winding spools may be arranged on a single shaft, and said spools be readily connected and
disconnected to rotate with and to be free from rotating with the rotary shaft ; said clutches being
used to enable any one or more of the tilting frames to be operated independently or simultaneously
as may be desired. This clutch may also be used for other purposes, and in fact is of general appli-
cation wherever a clutch is desired.

THE CARROLL DUMP AT ROCKY FORD, COLO.

The Carroll Dump is the only one that will unload wagons faster than they can be
weighed.

It is the only dump that can be used with any ordinary side-opening wagon or car.
The Carroll system provides, however, a special wagon and car that can be advan-
tageously used, and can also be used for the usual purposes.

The Carroll Dump is the only one that enables a wagon to be dumped in less than
half a minute.

It is the only dump to which a little boy or girl can drive a team as well as a man
for the man there does all the work.

The following indorsements, from different parts of the United States, speak for
themselves.

TESTIMONIALS

No Accidents or Delays

ANAHEIM, CAL., March 20, 1897.
Timothy Carroll, Esq.

DEAR SIK : With regard to your dumping apparatus, as used
by the beet-growers of Anaheim and vicinity the past season of
1896, for unloading beets, I can say that it has given entire sat-
isfaction, as it did also the year previous. There were no acci-
dents or delays during the entire season, and the repairs were
very light, being nearly altogether on account of the approach.
The labor required to unload beets from the wagon into flat cars
by your dump being so light, the Chino Valley Beet Sugar Co.,
took it upon themselves to do the same for the farmers without
charge. It requires but two men to operate your dump and
they can unload wagons as fast as they can be weighed and the
tickets made out. The farmers could not be induced to go back
to the old processes of unloading, so far as I can hear.
Very truly yours,

(Signed) G. W. SNYDER, Sec'y,
Anaheim Beet Growers of 1896.

Ten-Horse Teams, with Three Wagons, Unloaded in
Three to Five Minutes

MONTALVO, CAL., January 18, 1898.

Timothy Carroll, Esq., Anaheim, Cal.

DEAR SIK : It is with pleasure that I recommend your unload-
ing device to the public at large, especially beet-growers com-
pelled to ship beets by rail. I know of no better, or safer and
quicker loading device than that of your invention. We have
used it here at Montalvothis season without any dissatisfaction

whatever, unloading some twelve thousand (12,000) tons, and
at times ten-horse teams with three wagons were unloaded with
perfect satisfaction and rapidity, not taking more than five
minutes to unload, without any effort made for speed, and no
injury or strain sustained by the wagons, when properly operated.
Yours truly,

(Signed) A. F. MAULHARDT.

Gave General Satisfaction and Ran Smoothly

BUENA PARK, CAL., February 1st, 1896.
Mr. T. Carroll.

DEAR SIR : Your beet dump in use here last season was cer-
tainly a great improvement over the old system in saving of
time and expense. It gave general satisfaction and ran smoothly.
There were 5,500 tons of sugar beets loaded over it for the
season, and it was operated by two men.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed) C. S. KENNEDY,

Agt. S. P. Co.

No Strain on the Wagon The Wagon Support a Great
Improvement

ANAHEIM, CAL., January 12, 1898.

Tim. Carroll, Esq., Anaheim, Cal.

DEAR SIR : Referring to your improved dumping apparatus,
I wish to say that, as weighmaster for the Chino Valley Beet
Sugar Co., at Benedict Station, I have had the opportunity of
thoroughly testing your valuable invention, having also used the

Anaheim Dump two prior seasons to my entire satisfaction. I
consider it far ahead of any dumping arrangement I have ever
seen. Rapidity in working, ease and safety in handling, are
two of its many excellent qualities. Your recent attachment
for wagon support I consider a great improvement, as in dump-
ing if reduces the strain on a wagon to a minimum.

Wishing you the success due you for this valuable labor-sav-
ing invention, I am,

Yery truly yours,

(Signed) A. C. BERTRAM.

The Driver Unaided Unloads in Two Minutes

Los ANGELES, CAT,., October 4, 1897.
Timothy Carroll, Esq., Anaheim, Cal,

DEAR SIR : Replying to your favor of the 2d inst., I will say
that the beet dumping apparatus constructed in accordance with
your patent and under your direction on the Cudahy Ranch near
Florence, has proved to be a great success. It is a labor and
money-saver of the first order.

We have thus far loaded seventy cars with it, without a slip,
hitch or accident. We haul on each wagon from four to five tons
of beets, which, upon his arrival at the dump the driver, un-
aided much of the time, unloads safely into the car in about two
minutes. One man can operate it easily ; two men could unload
a wagon containing five tons or more every two minutes.

The dump is all right ; all you recommend it to be, and we are
very glad to have it.

Yours truly,

(Signed) J. W. HINTON,

Manager Cudahy Ranch.

Could Unload JOO Tons per Hour

ANAHEIM, June 25th, 1896.
Mr. Timothy Carroll, Anaheim.

DEAR SIR : The undersigned were the members of the com-
mittee elected by the beet growers around Anaheim to provide
appliances for loading their beets upon platform cars from their
wagons during the harvest of 1895. We made a careful examin-
ation of all appliances that could be used for the purpose, and
finally selected your "patent dump" as the most feasible. We
are glad to say that the apparatus worked to our perfect satis-
faction.

It is very simple and easy to operate, and we could unload our
wagons, containing from two to six tons each, at the rate of 100
tons per hour. At the close of the season, after unloading
18,000 tons of beets, the dump was in as good condition as
when the first load was delivered.

A Great Success and Labor-Saver

CLAIR, January 12th, 1898.
Mr. Tim. Carroll.

DEAR SIR : In reply to yours of the 10th inst., will say that
the beet dumping apparatus constructed in accordance with
your patent, and under your direction, on the S. P. R. R. Co.
track at Benedict station, is a great success. It is a labor-sav-
ing of the first order. We have this last season unloaded from
wagons into cars, 8,000 tons of beets without any breakage or
accident. We haul on each wagon from four to six tons of

beets, which, upon the arrival at the dump, I have, with the
assistance of another man, unloaded from the wagons into cars
in half minute, two men doing the work.
Yours very respectfully

Most Successful Means for Handling Tonnage

ANAHEIM, CAL., June 22, 1896.
Mr. Tim. Carroll,

DEAR SIR : I will say just a few words in regard to your
combination side dump and unloading apparatus, as I had
charge of same last season.

I must say it is a grand success over any other way of unload-
ing beets into cars. In 1894 I also had the experience of un-
loading beets by use of the net hoist and barrels, it taking
five minutes at the best to unload a load with the net from the
time the team was stopped on the dump till it was ready to
start. Again, it also required three men and one team to do
the unloading, while on the side dump, two men unloaded a
five-ton load in thirty seconds, ready for the team to move on.

One thousand tons could easily be unloaded per day on one
dump, if cars and teams were always in readiness. It is cer-
tainly the most successful means for handling tonnage. Any
further information or explanation I will willingly give with the
greatest of pleasure.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed) B. H. Hiss,
Supt. Anaheim Beet Growers Association,

Anaheim, Cal.

" I Have Seen Many Different Methods, But Your Patent
Dump Excels Them All."

ANAHEIM, CAL., October 17, 1896.

T. Carroll, Esq., Anaheim, Cal.

DEAR SIR : I take pleasure in stating that your patent
"dump apparatus," which we have used this year for unloading
sugar beets, from the wagons into railroad cars, for shipment to
Chino, has given entire satisfaction in every respect. I have
seen many different methods used for doing this work, but your
patent dump excels them all, it being the quickest and by far
the cheapest way. In Anaheim and vicinity we have unloaded
17,000 tons of beets by it this season.

Yours very truly,
(Signed) JOHN T. SCHROEDER, Weighmaster,

Wagonload Dumped in 30 Seconds

ANAHEIM, June 29th, 1896.

Mr. Timothy Carroll, Anaheim, Cal.

DEAR SIR : I am pleased to state what I know from personal
observation in regard to the working and operation of your
patent "load dumping apparatus," as used in the shipment
of sugar beets from this station to Chino, in season of 1895,
which aggregated 18,380 tons, or 989 carloads. This quantity

could not have been handled by the old methods for unloading
from wagons to cars with derrick and net process, and shovels,
and the expense for handling with your apparatus was a very
large percentage less than the old system, per ton. And labor
was performed by two men.

It was not an uncommon performance to discharge a three to
five-ton wagonload into cars in thirty seconds, with your tilting
platform, whereas, by the ordinary method, from twenty to
thirty loaded wagons were frequently left at the works over night.

Everything worked satisfactory during entire season without
accident or breakage.

Your patented principle could be used economically by railroad
companies and mining concerns I think, for dumping open car-
loads of coal or rock or similar commodities.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed) T. A. DARLING,

Agt. S. P. Co.

Load Dumped in 28 Seconds

WINDSOR, COLO., May 6th, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll.

DEAR SIR : In regard to the beet dump for dumping wagon-
loads of beets into cars or other receptacles which you have, I
can say that there is none better or as good as your device, and
to any farmer who is raising beets, rather than being without
them, I would insist on the sugar companies using them, or else
go without beets. Mr. G. Austen and myself, who had charge
of the dump in the fall of 1901, dumped a load in twenty-eight
seconds from the time it came onto the dump. This was done
by Prof. Carpenter's watch, who was on the dump at that time.
I hope the farmers will remember that now is the accepted
time to have them put in, while the business is new.
I wish you every success, and remain,

Yours truly,

(Signed) H. C. BRANCH.

Keeps the Teams Moving

BEKTHOUD, COLO., May 4, 1903.
Tim. Carroll, Esq.

DEAK SIR : In regard to the Carroll Beet Dumping device,
will say, last fall I had charge of the dump at Johnson siding
on the G. W. Sugar Co.'s railroad. We dumped 4,749 wagon-
loads, making 396 cars.

The dump worked perfectly. We weighed, dumped and
weighed back forty-three wagonloads in forty-one minutes, and
after dark at that. Mr. Henry Coote, W. H. Fearris and W.
Hickox were present at the time and can testify to the same.

We often started three teams up the dump, and dumped the
two head ones without stopping the third team, till it stopped
on the platform.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed) M. D. WHIPPLE,

One Man Can Handle the Dump

LOVELAND, COLO., October 24, 1901.
To Whom it May Concern :

This is to certify that we are using five of the Carroll Dumps
for the unloading of beets out of wagons into cars. I am frank
to say that it is certainly one of the best methods for unloading
into cars that I have ever seen. We are able to dump wagons
containing from three to four tons in less than a minute, one
man handling the dump ; and I should say that it is very strong
and durable, and is a great labor-saving device. Mr. Carroll
certainly understands his business and has made a success of
this matter.

The Best Dump on Earth

LONGMONT, COLO., November 20, 1901.
Mr. Tim. Carroll.

DEAR SIR : In reply to your favor of recent date regarding
your beet dumping apparatus, will say I have had charge of one
for the past two years. For simplicity, durability, rapidity,
and economy it, in my judgment, cannot be excelled.

I have dumped many wagons of five and six tons net weight.
Have never had an accident after dumping 3,000 wagonloads.
My dump is ready at any moment for loads. Wishing you
success with the best dump on earth, I am, sir,

ing device works perfectly. Its capacity is good for one load of
beets per minute. I was dump man there, and I unloaded thirty
loads of beets in thirty-one minutes, and moved and changed
cars in that time in the presence of Ed. Spotts, Joe Boyd and
Charlie Cluster. There were three teams on the dump at the
same time, one going down, one dumping, and one coming up
the dump.

For the safety of wagons and speed in unloading, the Carroll
Beet Dumping device cannot be excelled. The farmers say if
there was no beet dump here, there would be no beets raised.

I Can Load 30-Ton Car in J5 Minutes. The Farmers Could
Not Afford to Grow Beets Without It

TIMNATH, COLO., May 6th, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll.

DEAR SIR : I had charge of your beet dump here last fall
and would say in regard to its working that I think it would
be impossible to beat it. The farmers could not afford to grow
sugar beets without it. They can use any kind of a wagon with a
flat bottom, and can be dumped faster than they can be weighed
(about one-third of the wagons dumped here were hay racks,
and I never had any difficulty with them).

I am also willing to bet that I can load a car of thirty tons
capacity in fifteen minutes, providing the weighmaster can

weigh them.

Very truly yours,

(Signed) W. S. DARNELL.

Satisfactory Both to Growers and Company

ROCKY FORD, COLO., May 6, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll,

Care Vulcan Iron Works, Denver, Colo.

DEAR SIR : I found yours of the 29th ult. upon my return
from the eastern end of the Valley, and in reply wish to say that
your Dumping Apparatus has proven exceedingly satisfactory to
the beet growers, as well as to the company, and that I consider
it a great labor-saving machine and of considerable value to all
beet growers.

As to the length of time required for dumping, this depends
entirely on the man in charge of the dump, and I would say that
it will take from one minute to one and one-half minutes to
dump a load after the wagon has stopped upon the platform.

Yours truly,

AMERICAN BEET SUGAR COMPANY,

Dumps Faster Than Loads Can Be Weighed

GKEELEY, COLO., May 7th, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll.

Dear Sir : In regard to the Beet Dump you build, I will say
there are none better for dumping beets, if using the proper
wagons. I have run one for two falls, and can safely say that I
can dump wagons faster than any weighmaster can weigh the
loads and make out the tickets. I have dumped loads weighing
over 5,000 Ibs. in 10 seconds. I loaded 224 cars last fall, 1902.
I think that any community raising beets should have one of
Mr. Carroll's Dumps by all means. They will save labor and
money to beet raisers and haulers. I have been in charge of
dump at Farmer's Spur, on C. & S. R. R., for two years.
Yours respectfully,

(Signed) CHAS. C. NEFF.

Dumps in Less Than Half a Minute

GKEELEY, COLO , May 7, 1903.
Tim . Carroll.

DEAK SIK : In regard to your Beet Dump I can say it is a
perfect satisfaction, as I had charge of the one at Boyd's Spur
last year. We could dump a load in less than half a minute
and the wagons are light and handy and make good all-purpose
wagons. The farmers have increased the beet average nearly
half since the Dump was built last year.

Respectfully yours,

(Signed) R. W. BOYD.

As Fast as the Scales

LOVELAND, COLO., May 4, 1903.
Mr. 'I 'it >i . Ca n o II.
DEAK SIK : During the falls of 1901 and 1902 I had charge of

one of your Beet Dumping devices. I can say that I consider
them a success.

I never timed the capacity of them, but know that they are as
fast as the scales for weighing the beets. They also allow the
farmer to use the lightest possible beet box, thereby saving
many dollars in horseflesh.

Yours truly,

(Signed) U. S. HANKINS,
Weighmaster Campion Dump.

Carroll Wagons Can Be Used for Any Purpose

DILLEY CHAPEL, May 5, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll, Love/and, Colo.

DEAR SIR : I wish to say in regard to your Beet Dumping
device that it is entirely satisfactory to farmers. They could
not afford to grow the beets if they did not have your Dump.
Beets can be unloaded faster than they can be weighed. Also
your wagon beds can be used for any purpose, they are so light
and handy.

(Signed) W. A. PURVIS,
Weighmaster Pulliam Dump.

Can Dump Beets Faster Than They Can Be Weighed over the
Scales Wagon Bed is Light and Handy

RAGANS SIDING, Apr. 5, 1903.
Mr. Tim. Carroll, Loveland, Colo.

DEAK SIR : Regarding your Beet Dump and its working, I
will say that I can dump beets faster than they can be weighed
over the scales, or in other words, as fast as they can be brought
to me.

Also I wish to state that your wagon bed is light and neat

and can be used for any purpose.

(Signed) A. G.
