Rain When You Want It 
The Best Way 
To Water Your Garden 
Mr. John Brown, Superintendent of Cedar Hill Farm, Gates 
Mill. Ohio, writes us: 
“I take great, pleasure in saying that 
we could not get along without your 
system. To produce vegetables, 
fruits and flowers of high quality 
requires water, and 1 know no better 
way of doing this than by your system, 
both from a practical and economic 
standpoint. 
“We are very thorough in our work 
here and we use the best means for good 
results; therefore, my strong stand 
for your Skinner System.” 
Let us tell you just how the Skinner System works, how little it costs 
and what wonderful gardens it produces. Eliminates the risk of 
drought and the drudgery of hose-holding.
