THIS is the title of a unique booklet, in the 

 shape of an apple, containing the true story 

 of a man of family who "broke loose" from the 

 city and "made good" in a Northwestern orchard. 

 It is profusely illustrated and will strike a respon- 

 sive chord in the breast of every man who has 

 his eye on the future of his loved ones and him- 

 self. A request on a postal card will bring the 

 booklet unattended by any obligation, except 

 that of thinking it over.

Cushman Spraying Machine 



This is the GOLD MEDAL WINNER in the Spraying Machine Contest at 

 National Horticultural Congress, Council Bluffs, Iowa, November 10-19, 1910 



This is our second experience in carrying off 

 Gold Medal given by National Horticultural Con- 

 gress for best power sprayer. 



The Cushman has carried off highest honors 

 and diploma at every state fair where shown, and 

 never has taken second place in any contest since 

 the first machine went into the apple orchard 

 in 1902. 



A few of the reasons why the Cushman scored 

 74 points better than the next best outfit and more 

 than 150 points better than some of them: 



1st. The quality of material used and general 

 construction was found to be superior. 



2d. The samples of spray mixture taken from 

 various parts of tank demonstrated that our agi- 

 tator did the most thorough work. It is also sim- 

 plest in construction, having no gears. 



3d. Every, machine was weighed by the judges 

 when empty and again when filled with liquid. Our 

 tank carried 40 gallons more mixture than did any 

 other machine, and yet the draft on team was 32% 

 lighter, as measured by traction dynamometer. 



4th. It is best suited for hillsides because the 

 weight is low down and the Schebler carburretor 

 delivers exactly the same mixture to engine on 

 hillsides as on level land. 



5th. Our tank was found to be the strongest 

 in construction, lightest in weight and largest 

 capacity. 



6th. It was found to be the most economical 

 in consumption of gasoline, consuming at the rate 

 of 2% gallons in 10 hours with machine working 

 at 200 pounds pressure. 



7th. The 300-pound pressure test was accom- 

 plished with ease, showing remarkable rigidity of 

 outfit.
