Real Backstops 
for Your Tennis Court! 
Why not discard that fragile poultry netting 
that so quickly rusts out and lets fast shots right 
through into the garden— 
And put up, now, a real backstop that will re¬ 
quire no repairs for years to come? 
“Afco” Backstops have been installed around 
the tennis courts of most of the prominent coun¬ 
try clubs and on many private courts. 
We supply all materials, with plan and complete in¬ 
structions for erecting. Or, if you wish, we will do 
the work for you. 
May we tell you more?

How to Garden Less Garden 
and Still Have More From It 
You know it takes so much gasoline to go a certain number 
of miles with your car. 
If you don’t have it, you don’t get there. Exactly the same 
applies to your garden. 
It takes just so much water to give it top notch growth. Any¬ 
thing short of it; is—well it’s short, that’s all. 
You may think the average season has enough rain; but if you 
compare your garden that average season with one that has 
been Skinner System watered, you will see how far from the real 
facts you are. 
Furthermore, when you think that for $23.75 you can have 
one of our complete portable lines that waters 2500 square feet 
at a time. 
You kind of feel resentful that we hadn’t called it to your 
attention before. 
So you promptly write out a check and send it with your 
order which means that your garden this year will yield you 
twice as much from the same space or just as much from one 
half of it. 
Can you grow turnips 
like these? 
Are you interested in saving three-quarters of 
the mowing cost, and, at the same time, know 
that your lawn is kept in better condition? 
THE MOTO-MOWER 
solves this problem 
One man with a MOTO-MOWER can do 
the work of five men with a hand mower and 
do it better. 
The MOTO-MOWER is adjustable to any 
practical cutting, makes a 27-inch cut and 
climbs a 35 per cent grade. 
The MOTO-MOWER is light, flexible, 
easy to handle and practically fool proof; in 
point of construction it stands supreme. 
It can be operated in practically any place 
where a hand mower can be operated — on 
hills, terraces, or in restricted places. We can 
assure you that it meets every one of your con¬ 
ceptions of a perfect lawn mower and labor 
saver. 
You surely must be interested in knowing more 
about the MOTO-MOWER.
