It is made entirely of the best quality selected Charcoal Iron. It is a model of perfection in shape. It is light in weight. It is very light draft. It clears perfectly in soil where other plows fail. It wears better than any other iron or chilled plow made. It prepares and pulverizes the soil. It runs level and steady, making it an easy plow to hold.The Columbia Chilled Plow was manufactured at the Copake Iron Works.
The "chilled plow" was patented in 1868 by James Oliver, a Scottish immigrant who had settled in South Bend, Indiana. Oliver devised an ingenious method of cooling the wearing surfaces of a plow more quickly than the body of the plow. As a result, part of the plow that came in contact with the soil had a hard, glassy surface while the rest of the plow was tough iron.
