If you want a bigger outfit — something that will supply two. 

 three, or four lines of hose— get a BEAN GIANT. It's the King 

 of Power Sprayers — a real marvel of power— of large capacity 

 and built as true as a high-grade automobile from end to end. 



A One -Man Power Sprayer 



This is the first season that you have been 

 offered BEAN QUALITY in a power rig at a 

 low price. The grower who feels that he has 

 hardly enough trees to warrant the purchase 

 of a large outfit— and who is unwilling to 

 bother with a hand pump — will find this just 

 the outfit he wants. 



It's a real one-man rig. Just start the 

 engine, open up the nozzle and go to work. 

 The sturdy little Novo engine needs no watch- 

 ing — and the Bean Midget Duplex Pump is so 

 simple and substantial in construction that it 

 is practically trouble-proof. 



Equipped with Patented Pressure Regu- 

 lator, 100-gallon Redwood Tank, Steel Truck, 

 Canvas Cover and Curtains, Bean High Pres- 

 sure Spray Hose, Aluminum Rod and Com- 

 plete set of Accessories— all ready for busi- 

 ness. Nothing on the market to compare 

 with the 



Bean Eureka 



We manufacture air'kinds of Sprayers — from our massive 

 Giant right down to the Bean Magic — the only hand pump on 

 the market that can be continuously operated at high pressure 

 by one man without exhaustive labor.

the convention attempted nothing that 

 is either impossible or unreasonable of 

 accomplishment. On the final day the 

 convention developed itself into a per- 

 fectly organized body and formulated 

 a plan that would enable the confer- 

 ence to act quickly by concentratin.g

 districts were created, Western Oregon 

 and the Lewiston-Clarkston districts.
