Are You Going To Hose Hold 
Again All This Summer; 
Or Take Your Leisure While 
The Skinner System Does Your Watering? 
HIESE glorious June evenings. What 
a shame for you to spend them hose 
holding. What an aggravation to see 
your neighbor walking around smoking and 
enjoying his leisure, while his Skinner Sys- 
tem does all his garden watering for him. 
All he has to do is to turn on the water; 
then turn the water wherever he wants to 
water and go on leisure-joy-tasting. 
You can’t wear white “ducks,” and hose 
hold. Neither can you sit by complacently 
and see your garden dry up; and all that 
labor; all that pleasure you have had in it, 
go practically to naught. 
When, however, you find out that for so 
little as $13.75 you can have a complete 50

ment for overhead watering, then you will 
admit it sounds interesting.

50 feet long that will water 2500 square feet; or a space 
25 feet on each side. too foot line $26.25. Lines 
can be furnished in any length, made to fit your garden. 
It is easy to put up. Ina jiffy you can take it 
down and change its location. 
It will not only satisfactorily and inexpensively solve 
your watering worries; but add surprisingly to your 
garden returns. Vegetables and flowers are close to 
85% water. Give them the water they crave and you 
well know the bounty they will return. 
If you send remittance with the order, we will gladly 
pay delivery on the portable line anywhere East of the 
Mississippi. 
Equipment for an acre can be put in at a price which 
will be surprisingly low. If you want further particu- 
lars send for Portable Line Booklet.
