What You Need 
Is This 
AUTO-SPRAY 
To keep the insects and disease 
from your Small Fruits, Grape 
Vines, Berries, Potatoes and 
other Garden Crops. Also for 
Shrubbery, Flowers and Poultry 
and Live Stock Purposes. 
This sprayer of four gallons 
capacity generates power enough 
for all kinds of work except large 
trees, and may be used to the 
best advantage by anyone culti- 
vating five acres or less. 
It is more efficient, convenient and does more thorough 
work with less effort on the part of the user than 
any other spray pump made. ‘That is our unquali- 
fied guarantee and your money back if you want it. 
A few strokes of the plunger generates pressure for 
10 minutes spraying and with belt attachment it need 
not be taken from shoulder to keep pressure at 
highest point continuously. Being made of anti- 
corrosive materials it may be used with all kinds of 
solutions, as well as whitewash. 
Auto=Pop Nozzle saves time, trouble and solu- 
tion, allowing user to guide and control spray with 
one hand, as closing the hand gently over lever 
starts spray and the release of this pressure stops it 
instantly. No strain on thumb. No waste between 
trees, bushes or plants.
