'High-Pressure 
irayers/or Shade Trees 
We have given special thought to the manu- 
facture of pumps developing sufficient pressure 
to thoroughly spray shade trees in parks, cem- 
eteries, along city streets, etc. Deming outfits, 
therefore, are particularly adapted to that 
work — they develop high pressures, even when 
supplying eight or more nozzles. 
Denting Power Sprayers 
are the choice of park superintendents, com- 
missioners and owners of great estates. Deming 
outfits are durable and efficient; all working 
parts are brass, and the rigid construction 
prevents lose motion between pump and engine. 
We shall be pleased to furnish specifications, 
blue-prints, and estimates. We make pumps 
for all uses; general agencies in principal cities.
