THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



Stover Mfg. Co 



The Samson 



The Windmill That Makes 

 Irrigation Possible Anywhere 



"Blow high or blow low," The Samson is always ready. Made 

 of galvanized steel throughout, it is strong and durable. The 

 wings are so shaped and so set on the arms that they utilize more 

 of the force of the winds than any other mill made. 



THE SAMSON 



is a double-geared mill and the strain is between the gear wheels and the lift is in line with the 

 center of the power exerted. The strain is evenly divided among lour bearings initead of one. as 

 in single-geared milli. This arrangement saves wear, side draft and the twisting strain that comes 

 with the use of single gearing. The double gear insures steadiness in operating and prevents the 

 wobbling that shakes and weakens the tower. 



The Samson is the latest^nd most perfect production of the largest windmill factory on earth 

 and is the result of experiments without number and the experience of many years spent in 

 building windmills. 



The Samson is self-oiling, the extra large oil-cups needing to be filled only at long intervals. 

 It is strong enough to stand up and work in the highest wind, and is so carefully made that it 

 catches and utilizes a very light breeze. For irrigation purposes, no windmill ever made will do 

 the same work that the Samson will. It lifts water from the deepest wells with perfect ease, a,id 

 will pump more hours in a year than any other windmill ever made. 



We have not space here to tell all about this mill. We publish the best and finest booklet evtr 

 sent out from any windmill factory and will be glad to send it to you on request. It describes 

 every piece and illustrates the minutest details. All this is told in an interesting manner, and

 detail it stands for windmill perfection. Send for this booklet to-day.
