Q.
What about durability?
A.
 To
clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak,
use abrasives or apply cleaning products
containing bleach or solvents. I've
run them through the dishwasher without
disaster, but they'll last longer if you
keep them out of puddles and away from puppy
teeth. And they're most definitely not
suited for exterior display. |

result of the image resolution
being downgraded for
the web and will
not appear on your magnet, nor will any
part numbers. |

DESCRIPTION |
| 2-3/8" x 4" new fridge photo magnet of 1881 lithographed pamphlet trade card advertising Moores portable corn mills, a product of the North Carolina Mill Stone Co., powered by a T.M. Co. steam engine. T.M. was located in Westminster, Maryland.
The North Carolina Mill Stone company was located in Parkewood, a company town in Moore County, NC that no longer exists. For a short time in the 1880s-90s, NC Mill was very successful with its portable corn mills and quarried millstones. When the company failed, so did the town. It was located just off SH22 near Carthage.
The T.M. Co. steam engine is a product of the Taylor Manufacturing Company that built vertical and horizontal portable and stationary steam engines in Westminster, MD until the early 1880s when it moved to Chambersburg, MD.
The North Carolina Mill Stone company was founded by the president of Taylor Manufacturing Company, James Edwin Taylor, and his brother, George. James married a Westminster girl named Josephine Parke, thus explaining the distinctive spelling of Parkewood. Taylor Manufacturing went bankrupt in 1891, and the North Carolina Mill Stone company followed in 1895. |

Please
be advised that my
magnets are NOT three dimensional.
They do not light up, make noise or tell
 time.
They are flat
pictures. In other languages that's:
El imán es una imagen plana.
L'aimant est une image plate. Der
Magnet ist ein flaches Bild. Il
magnete è un'immagine piatta. De
magneet is een vlakke afbeelding.
They are printed on flat flexible
30ml
magnetic vinyl with a
protective satin-finish top coating and hand
finished edges.
They are roughly twice the
thickness and strength of magnetic material
found at office supply stores, and the
average size magnet holds 1-2 sheets of
paper. |
