Watering Simplified 
“Time is Money” — in the garden and around the home as well 
as in business! Do you recall the many hours spent summer 
after summer, trying to keep your grass and garden from “dying 
of thirst”? Do you recall the “fussing” with a leaky hose and 
the“mussing”up of your clothes, not counting a “ruffled” temper ? 
To keep gardens and lawns growing during dry spells with the 
least amount of labor and trouble, we offer and recommend 
Dayton Rotary and 
Oscillating Sprinklers 
The most practical, durable and efficient sprinkler made for all irri- 
gation purposes. Adjustable to all conditions and requirements. Nozzles 
can be regulated as to size and kind of stream required. The oqly 
machine on the market that operates automatically in either a complete 
circle or half circle! It guarantees the most even distribution of water. 
For the Lawn or Garden 
The very fine sprays, falling as softly as summer rains, 
are the most beneficial. So fine are the sprays from the 
“Dayton" that a gentle breeze will sway them. The 
sprinkler can run all day and there will be no baring 
of roots, no puddles to mar the appearance of your 
lawn, or no washing out of holes that would injure 
the productiveness of your garden.
