It Digs a NICE Engineer's Ditch 



99 



said a man recently In looking at our 

 photographs of AUSTIN DRAINAGE 

 EXCAVATOR work. He meant a slur, 

 of course. Well, we can take it, and 

 more of the same kind. What Is an 

 "engineer's ditch?*' It is a ditch 

 dug true to line and grade, with sloping 

 banks, wide bermsand solid spoil banks. 

 It Is a ditch so dutf that the banks 

 do not slide or cave, or the bottom 

 fill with mud bars. It is a ditch 

 that carries the most water at the least 

 possible cost for excavation. 



Yes, the Austin Drainage Excavator 

 digs "engineer's ditches" and it is the 

 only ditching machine that does. We 

 are content with this fact, for the "en- 



Slneer's ditch" is also the cheapest 

 itch for the contractor and the 

 best ditch for the land owner.
