TITLE REUI8TEHED U. S. PATENT OFFICE 



It Is Not The First Cost 



but the amount of money required to build a 

 permanent ditch or levee that should be con- 

 sidered in drainage and irrigation work. Con- 

 sidered merely as earth excavators the Austin 

 machines named below will not dig at very much 

 less cost per cubic yard than some other ma- 

 chines, but considered as ditch builders and 

 levee builders these machines have no com- 

 petitors in economy. No contractor or land 

 owner who believes that permanency of work is 

 a profitable investment in drainage and irrigation 

 work can afford to do work with general excava- 

 tors a ditching machine or a levee machine will 

 not only handle the earth as cheap per cubic 

 yard but will produce a. perfectly-shaped 

 permanent ditch or levee.
