THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



The Modern Wagon 



BUILT OF STEEL 



The only equipment that will stand the climate of the 

 irrigated district, is made of steel. You know the reason. 

 Wood dries out, becomes useless, and the machinery 

 falls apart. 



Davenport Roller - Bearing 



Steel Wagons 



are THE wagons for the "Dry Farming" country. Not 

 affected by the climate. Stronger, lighter draft and more 

 durable; outlast several wooden wagons. 



Built of steel I-beams, Channels and Angles, solidly 

 riveted with large steel rivets, put in hot, making the gear 

 parts practically one piece. 



Nothing to Dry Out 



No bolts to become loose and nuts to rattle off on 

 account of parts shrinking or drying out. The DAVEN- 

 PORT is constructed like the modern steel railroad 

 bridge. Trussed and braced to withstand all strains. Built 

 for the heaviest lifetime service. 



No Tires to Reset 



It makes no difference what the climate is, it does not 

 affect the wheels on the DAVENPORT. They are made 

 with a tension, each spoke carrying its share of the load 

 all the time, whether it is on the top, bottom or side of the 

 wheel. The spoke heads are countersunk in the tire; 

 headed and shouldered in the hubs. The strongest wheels 

 ever put on a wagon. No split felloes or cracked hubs. 

 No repair bills to pay. 



Roller Bearings 



The Roller Bearing 



30% to 50% Lighter Draft 



It it a fact, that if it were not for the ROLLER BEARINGS, 

 the automobile of today would be impossible. You know that 

 ROLLER BEARINGS reduce the draft on machinery of all kinds.
