THE IKEIGATION AGE. 



The field is unlimited and uncrowded; marketing the 

 product in competition with the clay interests and at clay 

 tile prices produces a great profit and a glance at the future 

 spells only success for the factory or business started today . 



No existing proposition offers such flattering induce- 

 ments or such a field of opportunity for the man looking 

 for a vocation or for the man looking for an investment. 

 No other business can net you such profits on the amount 

 of capital involved, and no other business has such an 

 unlimited future. 



Just think of a business paying from 30% to 50% on 

 the investment the very first season, and subsequently 

 from 50% to 150%, then ask yourself the question Is it 

 worthy of investigation? 



Our literature gives you all the details regarding the 

 merits of cement tile, the cost of manufacture, the amount 

 of capital required to embark in the business; how to 

 build your factory and last, but not least, it tells you 

 how we aid the manufacturer using our machinery and 

 gives you our full and complete proposition. A short 

 letter telling that you are interested will bring complete 

 data.

The Rural Road Grader For 

 Irrigation Work 



The blade of the Rural has the proper adjustment for making V Bittom Irrigation 

 Ditches on a slope of one and one-half to one. Any elevation can be given the 

 blade that the banks will stand. Rear end of blade raises 24 inches. Changing 

 single-tree holes in the evener, which places the near horse in the ditch, is the 

 only change needed in the Rural to adapt it to V bottom ditch work. The wheels 

 being wide apart, which best holds a grader to its work, and lets one wheel travel 

 in the point of the ditch and the other completely outside of the bank of earth 

 thrown up, leaving the slope smooth and undisturbed. 



Making a V Bottom Irrigation Dttch Two Feet Deep on a Slope of One and One- 

 Half to One. Two or Four Horses are I'sed. According to Requirements. 



The Rural Grader is not tipped to any extent, owing to the wheels being wide 

 apart and the axle having been made lower on the right hand side to equalize up 

 on ditch work. In a grader with the wheels close together, one, and perhaps 

 both, of the wheels must travel on the slope of the ditch, destroying the bank and 

 tipping both machine and operator to a dangerous angle. Unequaled for cleaning 

 out all deposits of silt, grass, etc., from irrigation ditches, whether dry or under 

 water, anywhere teams can be made to travel. For tie Irrigation Farmer, the Rural 

 Grader and Ditcher is not equalled by any other machine if he wants one for business 

 and the greatest value for his money. Air One with considerable level land can 

 use one with much profit for opening up ditches through fields, which it will do, 

 even when the lands are under water. To make larger and more permanent 

 ditches and also to build and repair roads that the farmer is interested in.
