 effective operation of this machine, which never fails,, and which is always ready to_deliver the spray to the tree 

 in large volume and under high pressure. 



HARDIE FEATURES 



SIMPLICITY OF CONSTRUCTION— Obtained by leaving oui 

 everything of a compUoat«d and troublesome nature, oaing only 

 Buoi construction as long experience has proven beet. 



LIGHTNESS— Obtained by usins hieh carbon pressed steel 

 frames such aa ere u.scd under all automobiles, in place of the 

 big heavy timbers or heavy soft steel frames. We get tour times 

 as much strength with le^'s than one-half the weight. Our 

 machine frames only weigh seventy pounds and will carry a 

 load ft three tons. This same principle is carried out through 

 the entire machiae. 



STRENGTH — Obtained by bearing in mind that anything is 

 only as strong as Ite weakest part, by knowing where strength 

 l9 neeled and bv using material which will stand the wear and 

 tear of high prcesiir© work. 



ACCESSIBILITY— (Get-»t.»bleneB8)— we build our maohinee so 

 that you oaji get at any part in a moment. Tou never need) to 

 take a " Hardie " to the machine shop if an accident happens. 

 You can fljt it generally in the orchard. Any one who has ever 

 need a power sprayer knows the importance of Accessibility. 



BIG CAPACITY— Our pumps are properly designed and are 

 specially built by "Sprayer Specialists." Wo know the import- 

 ance of lots of liqtiid at the nonle and build accordingly. 



HIGH PRESSURE — We use a powerful engine on our machines 

 and our pumps are so light running that we get the highest 

 pressure. All of our machines are guaranteed to maintain a 

 steady, working pressure of 200 pounds. 



FROST PROOF ENGINE— We use the IDEAL Engines. R. E. 

 Olds, the Pioneer Gas Engine Builder of America, the R. E. Olds 

 of Automobile fame, la at the head of the firm tiat builds them. 

 There is no engine Juit as good as the Ideal. It cools with 

 water, but it JB carried in such a way that freezing will not 

 Injure it.

 blow off.
