auto spray. 



Eight to ten strokes- of the plunger in air 

 chamber will compress enough air to discharge the 

 entire contents and make a continuous spray for 

 nine minutes. The "Auto Spray" has been im- 

 proved this season by the addition of the "Auto 

 Pop," shown in illustration. Briefly described, the 

 "Auto Pop" is an automatic valve, which is closed by 

 the air pressure used to operate the "Auto Spray." In 

 operation a lever is moved by simply closing the hand, 

 thus opening the valve and allowing an instan- 

 taneous discharge of spray. By releasing the lever it 

 closes itself automatically; hence the spray is in per- 

 fect control. Price: Galvanized iron reservoir, $4.50; 

 with Auto Pop, $5. .50; solid copper reservoir, $6.00; 

 with Auto Pop. $7.00; Brass Extension Rod, in 2-foot 

 lengths, each, 35c. ; Galvanized Extension Rod, in 2- 

 foot lengths, 25c.
