HARDIE DUPLEX POWER SPRAYER 



THE HARDIE SPRAYER known in every fruit section of America as 



THE SPRAYER WITH THE TROURLE LEFT OUT 



Hardie Sprayers are simply common sense applied in an uncommon way 



We iirst found out what a Sprayer had to accomplish to be 

 perfectly efficient— next found out what interfered with securing 

 perfect efficiency — and then removed the interfereoice. We knew 

 when we did that and g-ot that fact before the growers, their 

 common eenee, level-headed intelligence and good buying judg- 

 ment would take care of our sa'es. More than 36,000 satisfied 

 users have proved we were right. 



The Hardie line i8 complete, embracing a full line of Hand 

 and Power Sprayers. Tha best grade of spra.r hose: brass and 

 aluminum lined extension rods: nozzles and other accessories. 



For 15 years the word "HAl^DIE" has stood for the best of 

 everything in Sprayers. 



The Hardie Power Sprayers are entirely tree from experi- 

 mental risk and are made in several sizes and styles. They excell 

 not in some little detail, but all the way through from the 

 engine to the nozzle. 



FRA.MK:— High Carbon Pressed Steel, weight only 85 pounds. 

 10 times as strong- as common structural iron iised by others. 



TANKS:— 200 ffallon heart Cypress, the wood eternal. 



AGITATORS: — Rotary type running in bronze bearings, lubri- 

 cated with grrease cups. 



ENGINE:— The Ideal, Type "M," without Question the best 

 gasoline engine made in this country. Enclosed crank case. 

 Manganese steel crank-shaft; ground piston; ground cylinder aJid 

 ground rings; large Tungsten Steel Valves, easily sot at for 

 regrinding: special sprayer Carburetor; High Tension Magneto. 



An engine of high efficiency. Especiall.v designed for spraying by 

 E. E. Olds, the world's greatest gasoline engine expert. 



PUMP:— The Hardie PumM are made in several sizes. They 

 are the lightest, and yet the most powerful pumps made: so 

 simple and accessible that they cau be taken apart and put 

 together again in a ver.v short time. Our pumps are coristructed 

 of the very best material and workmanship. The plungers' are 

 driven from a Manganese steel crank-shaft. All bearings are 

 babbitted, except the bearings on the crank-shaft, which are 

 phosphor bronze. We do not use set screws, but our gears, 

 pulleys, etc., are fastened with Woodruff Keys They have 

 large bell metal ball valves; plungers that run between two soft 

 packings, which keep the metal of the plunger from coming in 

 contact with the metal of the cylinder. Both our Triplex and 

 Duplex Pumps are made in two sizes— 2 in. and 2% in. 



PRESSURE REGULATOR:— The Peerless Pressure Regulator 

 used on our pumps is without Question the best device made for 

 the regulating of the pressure. It not only holds the pressure to 

 the dot, but takes the load off the engine when the nozzles are 

 closed. 



ACCESSORIES:— Our Angle Cut Offs. Stay-There Hose Coup- 

 lings, Spray Hose, Bamboo Kods and Aluminum Nozzles are all 

 the best on the market. 



We carry in stock at Burlington a full line of these famous 

 sprayers. Also a full line of spray hose, spra.v rods, and nozzles: 

 engine and pump repairs, so that you can purchase a "HARDIE" 

 and know that in ca*^e of an accident there will be no annoying 

 delay in getting repairs.
