The GATE for 



Ditch Companies 



As Your Water is Valuable You Naturally Want to Have Your Supply 

 Absolutely Safe and Absolutely Under, Your Control 



YOUR HEADGATES ARE REALLY THE KEYS 

 TO YOUR WATER SUPPLY 



You cannot afford to lose water 

 through leakage, or gate swashing out. 

 You want to deliver just the amount 

 of water the user is entitled to, and 

 for this purpose you need a gate that 

 can be securely locked. You want 

 gates which the ditch rider can oper- 

 ate easily and quickly, and regulate 

 exactly. 



Before spending any more money 

 repairing and replacing wooden gates 

 on your ditches it will pay you to inves- 

 tigate the advantage and economy of 

 Northwestern iron headgates. 



ECONOMY IN 

 HEADGATES 



does not consist in putting in the 

 cheapest gate. Price is not the only 

 thing to consider. The cheapest head- 

 gate is the one which answers all 

 practical requirements and which will 

 last the longest. The cost of repairs 

 year after year on an old wooden gate 

 amount to more than the cost of a 

 substantial iron gate. 



Northwestern headgates will save 

 you time because they can be easily 

 and quickly regulated they cannot 

 stick. They will save you water

and let me show you why it will pay you to 

 put in Northwestern Iron Headgates 



on your ditches. 



The best time to put in an iron headgate 

 is before the old wooden gate washes out.

because they are machined to an abso- 

 lutely water-tight joint and cannot 

 leak. They will also save you water 

 because they can be securely locked, 

 either so that the gate cannot be moved 

 at all, or so that only the amount of 

 water the user is entitled to will be 

 delivered, and at the same time permit 

 the user to reduce the flow, or shut it 

 off altogether, if desired. My locking 

 device is the closest adjustable lock 

 made. Northwestern headgates will 

 save you repairs because they are 

 so strongly and simply made that they 

 cannot get out of order and will out- 

 last half a dozen wooden gates. 



There is a ditch or canal gate in the 

 Northwestern line at almost any price. 



MY ABSOLUTE 

 GUARANTEE 



_JI will send a Northwestern | Iron 

 Headgate on 30 days trial, freight pre- 

 paid, to any responsible farmer or 

 ditch company. If the gate does not 

 prove to have all the advantages 

 claimed, ship it back at my expense, 

 and I will pay you what it cost to set 

 up the gate.
