REVOLUTIONIZED 



BY A 



NEW SYSTEM 



"Frioi.iT' iwac Firct an(i s P ent thousands of dollars to 

 rllcllU Wd5 rllol develop and place it on the market. 



Tuirlanro of "FRIEND" priority in this new system is found V 

 LVIUCIILC in this FRUIT GROWER advertisement and the \ 

 thousands of "FRIENDS" spray guns used in 1916 and 1917. 



Towers and Spray Poles had annoyed Horticulture long enough 

 so "FRIEND" invented the 



SPRAY GUN 



A small, light device that one man could hold and distribute the 

 entire capacity of the largest power sprayer alone — with ease, 

 FASTER and BETTER than two men with towers and long poles and 

 so constructed that it could be used equally well on all power sprayers. 



The Gun was soon 

 Characterized 



sprAgun 



and the System or 

 Method called 



NU 



TM 



Are You A Grower? 



Then you want the best there is; when you buy a sprayer 

 or spray-gun, you want it for business; you want the kind 

 that always makes you feel that you made the right choice.

This has proven to be the world's greatest horticultural achievement and 

 the "FRIEND" line is a live wire, business-getting proposition. 



The "Friend" sprAgun: «jg *"g£ 



durability and simplicity— are thechief features of 

 the gun. Light enough to be held in one hand; 

 quick action for uny kind of spray desired; dura- 

 ble, by special materials and ingenious design; 

 simple in construction, only one working part. 

 All who used the "FRIEND" gun say that it not 

 only saved 25 of spray solution but did much bet- 

 ter work -owing to the great project iveness of fine 

 spray; some prominent growers have said that 

 they would not take $1,000 for their sprAgun. 

 Don't spray again without a "FRIEND" gun; 

 there will be many substitutes but— only one 

 "FRIEND." 



"I will take any power sprayer that will main- 

 tain 200-lbs. pressure and with one line of hose 

 and the "FRIEND" gun, will do more work and a 

 better job during the day, than three men can do 

 with the old system."— Grand Rapids, Michigan-

 twelve men."— Waterville, Ohio.
