When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

An offer for the farmer who wants the best fence produced at 

 the lowest price a life-time fence can be made for. Advance Fence 

 isn't just a boundary line. It stands for system and advanced value 

 in property. Any farmer who subdivides his land into plots for 

 crop rotation is systematizing his farm business. A built-to-last, 

 sound-value, substantial-looking fence means to the owner of the 

 land, and every man who works on it, exactly what a modem, 

 substantial factory or office building means to every man doing 

 business in the building. 



ADVANCE FENCE 



Is An Investment That Pays Big Dividends

 to get money and protection out of.

 structed, longest lasting fence on the market. To prove it, we make

 again. A cut wire weakens. Our stay wire is continuous, woven 

 in with the main top and bottom wire running the entire width of 

 the fence from one stay to the next. Made of the best basic, open- 

 hearth steel, galvanized with a heavy coat of 99-per-cent-pure spelter 

 that means rust proof.
