So Simple a Child Can 
Operate It 
Is This Crop-Doubling 
Drought-Protecting 
Sprinkling Line 
/\LL there is to “operating” 
the Skinner Sprinkling Line 
is to turn it on and turn it 
off, and occasionally change the 
direction of the sprays. 
It will make your garden practically 
“water itself". Will relieve you once 
and for all of all the drudgery of 
hose-lugging. 
Will give you a chance to devote 
your "extra hour of daylight" to more 
pleasurable or profitable pursuits. 
The Skinner Sprinkling Line will 
enable you to get twice the crops from 
the same garden plot. 
It will religiously guard those crops 
from failure. 
It spells Conservation —of land, of 
time and of production. 
As a starter, send $18.75 for a 50 
ft. Sectional and Movable Garden 
Sprinkling Line. Waters 2,500 square 
feet. $36.25 for a 100 ft. line. Other 
lengths in proportion. We build them 
to fit your garden. 
Booklet is yours for the asking.
