You're not debating the abvisability of a sprayer—you've settled that long ago. But when it comes to the actual choosing of an outfit the average fruit grower is absolutely at sea. His confusion is excusable, too. There are so many spraying outfits on the market, so many claims and counter claims, and such extravagant advertising that the problem confronting a prospective buyer is indeed trying. For over a quarter of a century, now, the Bean Spray Pump Co. has been manufacturing spraying outfits. It was just about twenty-six years ago that John Bean invented the spray pump having an air chamber, and erected the first spray pump fac- tory in the United States. Since that time there have been at least thirty different sprayers put upon the mar- ket—some good, some fairly satisfac- tory and some absolutely wortliless. Some disappeared from the market almost as soon as they were intro- duced, some were heard of for sev- eral years and a few of the best ones still survive. But through all these years Bean Spray Pumps have been steadily produced, and today you will find them in use throughout the fruit- growing world.

"The porcelain will soon crack and chip off," "Porcelain lined cylinders will never prove satisfac- ; Despite these ridiculous assertions, we have yet to find the first Bean porcelain lined pump cylinder that has not given satisfaction. We use bell metal ball valves in all our pumps. Hov/ever, the idea has been copied, and you'll find this excel- lent feature in other pumps today. But our patents are such that other manufacturers cannot use our easily removable seats
