The Samson. I 



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 lhan any other mill made. 



THE SAMSON 



is a double-geared mil! and the strain is between the gear wheels and the lift is inline with the 

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

 in single-geared milli. I his arrangement saves wear, side draft and the twisting strJin 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 and most perfect production of the largest windmill factory on earth 

 and ts the result ot 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 a t long intervals. 

 It is strong enough to stand up and wort 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 ihe deepest wells with perfect ease, ud 

 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 ever 

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

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

 when you have read the booklet, you will know all there is to know about the Samson. It is not 

 necessary to cover up or gloss over any point. We are proud of it to the smallest bull for in every 

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