SPHINCTER GRIP 



GARDEN HOSE 



The Sphincter Grip Spring Steel Galvanised Armoured Hose 

 is the most valuable improvement in Hose aince 1840. Its lasting 

 qualities are ten times greater than any Hose not armoured. 



Its complete success has caused some parties to infringe the 

 Patents owned and controlled solely by us; and we therefore 

 notify all such that the mailing, vending, or use of any armoured 

 wire- wound Hose not of our manufacture is an infringement of 

 one or more of our several Patents, any violation of which will 

 be promptly prosecuted. Brass plates set between the Hose 

 and wire denote our Manufacture and the Patents.

The Original and Only Genuine Sphincter Grip
