"HAMILTON-MADE" 

 -GARDEN HOSE 



Slow to make, slow to wear out. 



WHY do we stick to the old slow process 

 of making hose? 



Because by that process we get hose that is slow to wear out. 



We know that the new, fast sausage-machine process is cheaper 

 — but hose that lasts twice as long is better, even if it does take 

 longer to make, and cost a cent a foot more. 



That's Hamilton-Made Hose. 



Here are some of the 



leading grades of 



Hamilton-Made Garden 



Hose. Note that Every 



label bears the words 



HAMILTON-MADE 



Hamilton-Made Hose is made by our old, slow pro- 

 cess, which produces such stiff, springy, long-lasting hose. An 

 inner tube of pure "live" rubber is tightly wrapped with layer 

 after layer of close-woven duck, all vulcanized tight together, 

 with an outside cover of tough rubber to take the wear. After 

 seasoning, every foot is TESTED under tremendous hydraulic 

 pressure, to discover the slightest defect. This enables us to 

 GUARANTEE our hose to stand enormous pressures. Most 

 makers will not do this. 



There's a Hamilton-Made Hose for every different use and pressure, 

 each grade made better than is necessary to meet the requirements for 

 that use, at prices from 10 to 25 cents a foot. Whatever grade of hose 

 you need, ask the dealer for Hamilton-Made, and you will be certain 

 of getting the best hose of that grade that is made. 



SOLD BY DEALERS EVERYWHERE 



If your dealer has not HAMILTON-MADE HOSE on hand, we will 

 deliver to you anywhere in the United States, FREIGHT PREPAID, 

 50-foot lengths of our highest grade hose, complete with standard brass 

 couplings, for the regular price, $12.50 each length. This splendid hose 

 stands a pressure of 750 POUNDS TO THE SQUARE INCH, and 

 ■while it is our highest-priced garden hose, it lasts so long that it is 

 in reality probably the CHEAPEST hose made. 



If you want hose of a different grade, write us for samples and the names of dealers near you.
