You're ready now to decide on a 

 spraying outfit. You're not debating 

 the abvisability of a sprayer — you've 

 settled that long ago. But when it 

 comes to the actual choosing of an 

 outfit the average fruit grower is 

 absolutely at sea. His confusion is 

 excusable, too. There are so many 

 spraying outfits on the market, so 

 many claims and counter claims, and 

 such extravagant advertising that the 

 problem confronting a prospective 

 buyer is indeed trying. 



For over a quarter of a century, 

 now, the Bean Spray Pump Co. has 

 been manufacturing spraying outfits. 

 It was just about twenty-six years 

 ago that John Bean invented the 

 spray pump having an air chamber, 

 and erected the first spray pump fac- 

 tory in the United States. Since that 

 time there have been at least thirty 

 different sprayers put upon the mar- 

 ket — some good, some fairly satisfac- 

 tory and some absolutely wortliless. 

 Some disappeared from the market 

 almost as soon as they were intro- 

 duced, some were heard of for sev- 

 eral years and a few of the best ones 

 still survive. But through all these 

 years Bean Spray Pumps have been 

 steadily produced, and today you will 

 find them in use throughout the fruit- 

 growing world. 



Some twenty years ago we began 

 to furnish our pumps with porcelain 

 lined cylinders. Immediately com- 

 petitors began to warn fruit growers 

 against them. "They are impractical," 

 they said. "The porcelain will soon 

 crack and chip off," "Porcelain lined 

 cylinders will never prove satisfac- 

 tory." 



Despite these ridiculous assertions, 

 we have yet to find the first Bean 

 porcelain lined pump cylinder that 

 has not given satisfaction. 



We use bell metal ball valves in all 

 our pumps. Hov/ever, the idea has 

 been copied, and you'll find this excel- 

 lent feature in other pumps today. 

 But our patents are such that other 

 manufacturers cannot use our easily 

 removable seats and covers. In all 

 other pumps except ours you'll find 

 that the seats and covers screw in. 

 Ours do not. Bean seats and covers 

 can never corrode tight — whereas, we 

 ha-\-e often actually had to chop out 

 the valves from some pumps that we 

 have taken in on exchange for our 

 outfits. Any orchardist who has ever 

 used a spray pump knows what it 

 means when we say that a Bean valve 

 can be reached in ten seconds. 



There are no stuffing boxes in an}' 

 of our pumps. Hence there can be 

 no stuffing box trouble — no leaking. 



and squirting, and endless temper- 

 trying bother. 



Do not misunderstand us. We do 

 not claim to have the only good line 

 of spray outfits. We do claim, how- 

 ever, that no other line embraces so 

 many excellent features, and no line 

 is so altogether complete. The Bean 

 line ranges from the smallest hand 

 pump to the largest power outfit. 

 Our Bean Magic Pump is the only 

 hand pump that one man can operate 

 continuously at high pressure. 



Read a detailed description in our 

 new catalog. 



All Bean Power Sprayers have 

 steel platforms, standard makes of 

 engines, perfect agitation, low speed, 

 large capacity, and are carefully tested 

 for high pressure. All parts are made 

 through jigs and templates, and may 

 be ordered by catalog numbers. The 

 various parts are, therefore, easily 

 replaced, which means that when you 

 own a Bean — you are liable for no big 

 repair bills. 



Decide on a Bean and you'll decide 

 right. We deliver from nine different 

 points in Oregon, Washington, Utah, 

 Idaho and Colorado, and all orders 

 are promptly handled. If there is no 

 Bean agent in your town write direct 

 to us for quotations and our new 

 1911 catalog. Tell us what kind of a 

 sprayer you're interested in.
