Cheating You? 
Do you see crops wilt before your eyes or stand 
still waiting for rain that’s problematic? Re¬ 
member that the greater part of all plant sub¬ 
stance is water , and lack of water means lack of, 
or greatly diminished crops. 
There is one sure way to have a thrifty mid¬ 
summer garden. Have on hand that handy rain¬ 
maker— 
The Campbell Waterfan— 
Rain When and Where You Want It! 
This little five pound mechanical rain-maker 
will work wonders at the end of any garden hose 
hacked with 15 pounds of pressure. Oscillating, 
it spreads an even, gentle rain, covering a rectan¬ 
gular surface 15 feet wide by 60 feet long, and 
leaving no nook or corner unwatered. Easi¬ 
ly adjusted just by turning a little thumb screw. 
No tools needed to make connection; easily 
moved about; direction of sprinkling, angle of 
sprinkling, evenness of water distribution and 
distance of watering desired under absolute con¬ 
trol. Though the Waterfan weighs but 5 pounds, 
it is built so substantially that it will last for years. 
Nothing to get out of order. Always ready for 
thorough work. 
Waterfan—Model No. 5 
(Shown at work above) 
Length, 21 inches. Weight, 5 pounds. Waters a rectan¬ 
gular area up to 15 x 60 feet. Price $15.00.
