To Our Patrons and Others: D CALLING YOUR ATTENTION to our line of Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Windmills and Towers, we feel _ confident we are presenting a line of goods, which, in every way, are superior to most and equal to any made. In select¬ ing our line of windmills and towers, we have carefully canvassed the market to find out the good and bad points of every windmill and tower made. We have fully investigated and carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages of the different windmill makers, with a view of having manufactured exclusively for us a windmill thoroughly up to date, embodying all the latest improvements, all the good features of all high grade windmills made, with the defects of none ; in fact, we have avoided all weak points, and have strengthened our windmills with the strong points of the very best windmills made { OUR WINDMILLS ARE BUILT OF STEEL, -W Practically non-destructible; built to require little care, and with little care last forever; built with a view of giving the greatest ^ amount of power for equal velocity of wind, and we can honestly state that the Improved Kenwood Windmill will pump more water in a lighter wind than any othei windmill made. NT THIS CATALOGUE WE HAVE ENDEAVORED To go into every little detail by illustration and description, so that you can form almost as good an idea of the mechanical construc¬ tion, of the material and the general excellency of the Improved Kenwood Windmill from this booklet, as if you were to examine the winamill itself. From a careful study of this catalogue you will be able to intelligently compare the Improved Kenwood Steel Windmills - with the windmills sold by your dealers at home. — 3 — 4 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. THE IMPROVED KENWOOD Galvanized Steel Pumping and Power Windmills and Towers are made expressly for us under contract by one of the best windmill makers in this country. They are built from the very best mate¬ rials throughout, as fully explained in this booklet. The windmills are built on the very latest lines, embodying every good feature in windmill building, as adopted by the very best makers. Nothing but the very best of material enters into their construction. There is nothing in an Improved Kenwood to get out of order, simple to care for, needs less care than almost any other windmill. Heavy enough in every part to be very strong and durable and not so heavy as to be hard to manage and hard to run; strengthened in many points where other windmills are weak, lightened in several points where other mills are heavy and hard to manage; in other words, a perfect windmill, containing all the good points of all windmills, with the defects of none. ABOUT THE PRICE 'J'HE EXTREMELY LOW PRICES at which we quote wind¬ mills and towers, often gives rise to the question, are they good windmills and good towers? Are they as good as I can buy from my dealer at home at double the money? Is it possible to build such a windmill and such a tower for so little money? We know your dealer at home will say it is impossible, we know he will say the wind¬ mill is not good and the tower is not strong and well built. He will tell you a first class windmill and tower cannot be built for the money we offer ours, and really he cannot be blamed for offering this argument. Some dealers really believe when they make this state¬ ment that they are telling the truth, especially when they themselves are compelled to pay at wholesale at least 50 per cent more for the windmill they buy than the price at which we sell direct to the user. If the dealer has seen one of our windmills he knows it is the equal of any windmill made, regardless of price. If the prospective buyer has seen one of our windmills in his neighborhood, he doesn’t ask the dealer any questions and it doesn’t matter what the dealer says. He, too, knows that our windmill is the equal of any windmill made; but as this booklet will fall into the hands of thousands of prospective buyers who have not as yet seen an Improved Kenwood Windmill, SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 5 and as such buyers consulting their dealers at home will hear every kind of an argument advanced to discourage them from sending to us, and as we ourselves or our representative cannot be on the ground to explain or refute any argument that may be introduced against our windmill, we give a guarantee, a free trial offer and a free sub¬ ject to examination purchase proposition, intended to refute any kind of argument against our windmill, intended to put our windmill, with¬ out expense or risk to the buyer, in competition with any windmill made, and to let the buyer take his own time in comparing, testing, consulting and fully deciding, if, indeed, the Improved Kenwood Windmill, at about one-half the price charged by others, is su¬ perior to most and equal to any of the highest grade steel windmills made. Our prices are based on the actual cost of material and labor, the cost of the steel and other material, the cost of labor with but our one small percentage of profit added. From our prices are eliminated all the selling expenses of traveling salesmen, wholesale houses, retail dealers, solicitors, collectors, bad debts, long time, in¬ terest, handling, double storage, etc. Our price is a simple propo¬ sition. It is a spot cost, a factory cost, a material and labor cost, with our profit added to it, and our profit is small. OUR BINDING GUARANTEE Every Improved Kenwood Windmill and Tower is sold under the binding, one year’s guarantee, shown on the inside front cover of this catalogue, by the terms and conditions of which, if any piece or part gives out within one year, by reason of defect in material or workmanship, we will replace or repair it free of charge. With only ordinary care one of our steel windmills or steel towers will last a natural lifetime. OUR THIRTY DAYS’ FREE TRIAL OFFER To give every buyer an opportunity to see, examine, test and compare our windmills with other windmills, we ship every windmill outfit with the understanding and agreement that after it is set up on your own ground you are at liberty to give it thirty days’ trial during which time you can put it to every test, and if for any reason you become dissatisfied with your purchase within thirty days, you are at liberty to return the windmill to us at our expense of freight charges both ways and we will immediately return your money. 6 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL.

IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL WINDMILLS AND GALVANIZED ANGLE STEEL FOUR- POST TOWERS Windmills from ----- Towers from ------ Regular Pumping Windmill Outfits from Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits from Power Windmill Outfits from Improvement in the design, construction, efficiency and wearing qualities of all the various machines which we sell is one of the very important features which is never lost sight of by us, no matter what it may cost to obtain the desired results and no matter how much time or labor we may be compelled to de¬ vote to this one particular object. OUR IMPROVED KENWOOD WINDMILLS AND TOWERS are the result of our several years’ experience in the sale of this class of goods, and are vastly superior to the windmills and towers previously sold by us and to all other makes of windmills and towers. The design of the entire 7 line is in strict conformity with modern steel windmill and tower construc¬ tion, every feature, even to the smallest detail having received careful attention in all particulars relating to strength, efficiency, wearing qualities and general durability. OUR CONSTANT AIM is to reduce our prices and in¬ crease the quality of our goods, our object being to furnish the best goods which skilled labor can produce at the very lowest prices which can possibly be made and by so doing give per¬ fect satisfaction to our customers, placing in their hands abso¬ lutely first class goods at a minimum price and therefore mak¬ ing a constantly increasing number of satisfied customers, which increases our sales to such an extent that we can afford to make very close prices. OUR PRICES on the Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Windmills and Galvanized Angle Steel Towers are a simple prop¬ osition. - $11.95 to $31.25 12.85 to 66.20 - 24.80 to 84.10 58.25 to 103.55 - 41.60 to 105.30 — 8 — SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 9 We sell more windmills and towers direct to the con¬ sumer than any other three houses in the United States; con¬ sequently we can make the low prices which we do, first, because of the large volume of goods which we sell, and second, be¬ cause the prices are spot cash prices, based on the actual cost of material and labor, with but a very small percentage of profit added. They are prices which cannot be duplicated by anyone on windmills of any character. CONSTRUCTION OF THE IMPROVED KEN¬ WOOD GALVANIZED STEEL WINDMILLS THE WIND WHEELS AND VANES of all sizes of Improved Kenwood Pumping Windmills are similarly constructed and the wheel and vane of the 12-foot pumping and 12-foot power windmills are identical. The construction of the wind wheels and the vanes differing only in the sizes, the general measurements, the weight and strength of the materials used and the number and size of the sails and arms in the different sizes of windmills. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of a wind¬ mill is the wind wheel and the arms which support it. The arms of the improved Kenwood Windmills are made of heavy flat steel bars, set tangent and braced in such a manner that it makes the wind wheel absolutely rigid and strong. These arms being set tangent not only add to the strength of the wind wheel, but they add to the efficiency of the windmill. Take any size of the Improved Kenwood Windmills, not connected to a pump and the arms alone present sufficient surface to the wind to run the assembled motor with a wind of fair velocity. There are four arms on the 6-foot wheel, five arms on the 8-foot wheel, six arms on the 10-foot wheel and seven arms on the 12-foot wheel and there is provision made so that when attaching these arms they can be adjusted to make the wheel run absolutely true, a fea¬ ture which we believe is not to be found in any other windmill. The inner and outer wind wheel rims are made of heavy flat steel, turned edgewise, so as to give ample strength, and these rims are bolted solidly to the outer end of the arms and to the arm braces. 10 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. THE SAIL SECTIONS OF THE WINDMILLS are gal¬ vanized after completion, as are all steel parts of our windmills and towers. This* work is all done at our factory and by workmen who are skilled in the operation of galvanizing, consequently as all parts are thoroughly protected by galvanizing, they are practically indestruct¬ ible, will not rust and will last an indefinite length of time. Special care is exercised in our galvanizing plant to produce goods which present a clean, handsome appearance and to avoid the ragged edges which are caused by the drippings, and while these rough edges cannot be entirely avoided, we turn out the very best work which can be produced. THE 6-FOOT WIND WHEELS have 16 sails, which are 28 inches long, 12 inches wide at the outer end, and 4^ inches wide at the inner end. The 8-foot wind wheels have 20 sails which are 30 inches long, 12 inches wide at the outer end, and 4 \ inches wide at the inner end. The 10-foot wind wheels have 24 sails, which are 30 inches long, 12 inches wide at the outer end and 4^- inches wide at the inner end. The 12-foot wind wheels have 28 sails, which are 36 inches long, 15 inches wide at the outer end and 8 inches wide at the inner end. THE AMOUNT OF WIND SURFACE and openings through which the wind escapes from the wheel, is carefully cal¬ culated so as to obtain the best results. The angle and curva¬ ture of the sails is made to run the wind wheel so as to give 8-foot and 10-foot windmills an average of forty strokes of the pump rod per minute with a wind blowing at a good velocity, the windmills being geared back three to one, that is, the wind wheels making three revolutions to each up and down stroke of the pump rod. The 6-foot windmill is geared four to one and the 12-foot pumping windmill is geared two and two-thirds to one. The 6-foot wind wheels run faster and the 12-foot wind wheels run slower than do the wheels of the 8-foot and 10-foot windmills. THE VANES of the Improved Kenwood Windmills are properly proportioned to govern the windmill, the arms being of proper length and the steel vane sheets being of proper length and width to best accomplish this object. The lower arm of the SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 11 vane is made of a very heavy steel angle bar and the upper arm of a lighter steel angle bar. The reason the lower arm is heavier than the upper and the upper lighter than the lower is to give strength where it is required and lightness where the greater strength is not required. As will be seen from the various illustra¬ tions the spread of the vane where it is hinged to the motor is very wide, the vane being made in this way to keep it from twisting, and to obviate a fault which is to be found in a great many windmills. AS GOOD AS CAN BE BOUGHT. Maitland, So. Dak. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The windmill received from you last June is up and running fine. Is from $5.00 to $7.50 cheaper than others, and is just as good as any on the range here. If we buy any more they will be from Sears, Roebuck & Co. Respects, J. A. BALL. RUNS TWO YEARS WITHOUT REPAIRS. Parnell, Kent County, Mich. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: In regard to the windmill I bought of you will say it gives perfect satisfaction. I have run it nearly two years without one single hitch or one cent paid out on it for repairs. I feel I saved money by buying of you. I had an expert put up my windmill. It pays every time. Lots of the trouble in windmills is caused by not being properly set. Yours respectfully, S. D. NORMAN. BETTER THAN THEY EXPECTED. DeCliff, Ohio. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: In regard to the windmill will say that the windmill is as good, or better, than we expected to find it, and cheaper than we could have bought here. We also send by mail for another bill of goods. I am thinking of taking a trip to Kansas, If I do, and can find your place of business, will come and see you. I remain, yours respectfully, CHARLES RAUX. HAS SAVED $75.00 OR MORE BY PURCHASING OF US. Haverhill, Kansas. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I received one windmill about two years ago and if I hadn’t liked it I would not have sent for another last summer. They have proved all that you claimed them to be. They saved me about $25.00 on the two windmills. The two sewing machines are also very satisfactory and have proved all you claimed for them. According to the way they are selling here, I have saved about $50.00 on the two machines. The bicycle proved satisfactory too, a& did all the numerous other things I have received from you. I have no complaint, whatever, to make. My nurchases have amounted to $200.00 to $300.00. Very truly yours, A. J. LIETZKE. OUR IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL PUMPING WINDMILLS $11.95 to $29.95 TO BETTER ILLUSTRATE the Improved Kenwood Pump¬ ing Windmills, which we claim are the best pumping windmills ever sold to anyone at any price, we show herewith three illustrations of our high grade Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel 8-Foot Pumping Windmill as it appears when mounted on a steel tower. Illustration No. 2 is a picture of the windmill taken behind the wheel and to the left of the vane. It shows the con- Illustration No. 2 struction of the wheel throughout as it appears when looking at the back of the wheel. It also shows the perfect model of the vane employed in all Improved Kenwood Windmills, the strongest, hand¬ somest and best made vane used on any windmill. THE TANGENT ARMS AND BRACING, which make the wheel of the Improved Kenwood Windmill so strong, are plainly shown in this illustration, and we are sure that it will convince you — 12 — SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 13 that the Improved Kenwood wind wheel is the strongest and best braced windmill wheel made, a wheel that will stand almost any kind of a storm and will never blow down or become wrecked, unless the velocity of the wind becomes a tornado or cyclone. In this view we show the windmill with the vane and wheel in the position taken when the wheel is in operation, namely, with the vane standing at right angles with the wheel. Illustration No. 3 In Illustration No. 3 we show a full back view of the Im¬ proved Kenwood Pumping Windmill, the wheel being parallel with the vane, being the position taken by the wheel when the windmill is not in operation. In this illustration you will note that there are no obstructions of any kind to prevent the wind from exerting its full force and effect upon the sails of the Improved Kenwood Windmill; in other words, there are no circles running through the sail sheets and no beads around the edges of the sails to cause undue friction. 14 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. ,d You will also note the great width and strength of the vane hinge, and the powerful leverage which the governor exerts on the vane, owing to the distance from the vane hinge to the point where the governor con¬ nects with the lower vane bar. This vane cannot be blown into the wheel The Picture Shown in Illustration No. 4 is taken in front and to the right of the wind wheel, its special purpose being to show you the perfect design and construction of the wind wheel used on the I mproved Kenwood r ? Windmills. In this J| illustration the vane and wheel are shown at right angles with each other, as they appear when the wind¬ mill is in operation Every sail and every part of the wheel, the bracing and everything that enters into the construction of the I mproved Kenwood Wheel, is very clearly shown in this illustra¬ tion. It is impossible to design or build a stronger windmill wheel than that furnished on the improved Kenwood line of windmills While these three illustrations are exact reproductions of our well known high grade Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel 8-Foot Pumping Windmill, they also give you a clear idea of the general construction of all Improved Kenwood Windmills. Taken in con¬ nection with detailed illustrations and descriptive matter, which will be found in the following pages, you can obtain as intelligent an idea of the Improved Kenwood Windmills as though you could see the windmills themselves and examine them piece by piece. HAS GIVEN SATISFACTION Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Batesville, Texas. Dear Sirs: The windmill I bought of you last spring has given entire satisfac¬ tion. Yours truly, MONROE MARTIN. IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL BACK GEARED PUMPING WINDMILLS THE ASSEMBLED MOTORS of all Improved Kenwood Pumping Windmills are alike in general construction, the difference being in the weights, measurements and strength, each being properly proportioned to the size of wind wheel and vane which they are to carry. The motor for the 6-foot windmill is the lightest of the different sizes. The motor for the 8-foot windmill is the next heavier and the same motor is used for the 10-foot windmill, except that the shaft is heavier, the motor being abundantly strong for either size The motor for the 12-foot windmill is the heaviest of the lot, it being designed especially for very heavy work such as is required of a windmill of this size, which size of windmill is generally used for very deep wells, or for irrigation purposes. Illustration No. 5 shows the left hand side of the motor, taken partly from the back of the mill, giving a clear idea of the manner in which the wind wheel arms are set tangent on the wheel spiders and position of the gearing and the different strokes of the mill. Illustration No. 6 shows the right side of the motor, giving a clear conception of the construction of the main frame and the adjustable gear shaft box, also of the connecting rod, the vane hinge and the wind wheel spiders. Both illustrations show the steel channel bar stem to which the different parts of the motor are secured and which forms a pivot or turning post for the entire windmill. This stem is made of very heavy channel steel, and the main casting and the different parts of the motor are secured to it by strong set screws. This bar has a casting at its upper end, to which — 15 — Illustration No. 5 16 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. the upper bar of the vane is hinged; it has a casting at the lower end, the outside of which is circular shaped to fit the step box which guides and holds the lower end of the bar and keeps the mill plumb. This casting also guides the steel pump rod and the pull out wire. The upper end of the stem forms guides or ways for the pitman head. THE MAIN CASTING of the motor is heavy and strong and is fastened to the stem at the extreme upper and lower ends of the casting. The bearings for tne main shaft are contained in this main casting, they are formed by a very long sleeve which is babbitted at both ends, the center forming an oil chamber and hav¬ ing a large oil box on the top The lower bar of the vane is also hinged to this casting and one of the sheaves around which the pull out chain passes is contained in this casting. THE MAIN SHAFT which carries the wind wheel is cold rolled steel. The two wind wheel spiders are securely fastened to the outer end of this shaft and the small gear is fastened to the inner end, the large spider and the small gear forming collars which prevent end play of the shaft. The large gear, which is com¬ monly known as the pumping gear is car¬ ried by a shaft which is supported by a casting having bearings similar to those on the main casting, except that the bearings are shorter. Provision is made for oiling this shaft by an oil chamber between the two bearings and a large oil cup on, top of the casting. This casting is bolted securely to the main frame and can be adjusted so that the large gear and the small gear can always be kept in perfect line and at proper mesh This is a very important feature which will not be found on other windmills and is one which will be thoroughly appreciated by the many users of windmills who have had trouble with gearing which Illustration No. 6 SEARS. ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. IV was not properly meshed and which had become worn by continual use. THE MAIN GEAR provides for three different lengths of pump stroke, on each windmill. The strokes of the 6-foot, 8-foot and 10-foot windmills being 4 inches, 6 inches and 7 inches, and the strokes of the 12-foot windmill being inches, 8 inches and 9 inches. These different strokes are obtained by secuiing the wrist pin into one of the three holes which are bored in the large gear. THE CONNECTING ROD which operates the pump rod has a long bearing at each end and each bearing is provided with a large oil cup. This rod connects with a pitman head which has long bearing surfaces and is guided by and works upon the channel bar stem, this pitman head being provided with a large oil cup or chamber at its upper end and connecting on the inner side of the channel bar direct to the steel pitman rod. This steel pitman rod passes down the inner side of the channel bar and through the end casting before referred to, where it connects by means of a swivel joint direct with the wood pump pole of the windmill. THE IMPROVED KENWOOD WINDMILLS pivot or turn on the turn table very easily, in fact, more easily than the so-called ball bearing mills. This because the lower surface of the main casting is perfectly true and is chilled hard and smooth. The main casting rests upon a pivot casting, the upper surface of which is chilled perfectly hard and true, the lower surface being semi¬ circular shaped to rest into the cup shaped top of our tower caps or mast caps. A suitable oiling device is provided for oiling these pivot surfaces and aside from causing the windmill to turn freely and easily, the construction referred to allows the windmill to adjust itself to any or all irregularities without binding or cramping the pivot. THE PULL-OUT WIRE after being passed through the pump pole swivel joint, to prevent it from winding around the pump pole, passes up through the inner side of the channel bar stem and connects with the pull-out chain which passes around the chain sheaves and connects with the vane by an arm which gives good leverage for pulling the windmill out of the wind. THE GOVERNING DEVICE used on the Improved Ken¬ wood Windmills is one of the most simple and effective ever at¬ tached to a windmill. It has a long tension spring which is abun¬ dantly strong to handle the vane, yet not so stiff but what the wheel 18 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. can be pulled out of the wind easily. One of the greatest faults with most windmills is, that, when the wheel us pulled out of the wind the vane comes against the bumper (which is usually placed close to the vane), with such force that it bends or strains the vane, and with such windmills, in case of heavy storms the vane will bend, and be blown into the wheel, wrecking the entire windmill. Again, on the average windmill when the vane is freed, so as to throw the wheel into the wind, the vane goes back with such force as to strain the entire windmill. THE IMPROVED KENWOOD WINDMILLS are pro¬ vided with a bumper rod which is hinged to the main frame of the windmill and connected to the lower vane arm at a considerable distance from the vane hinge. This bumper rod is provided with stops and compression springs both inside and outside of the bracket which connects the bumper rod to the lower vane arm and as these stops are properly adjusted, there is no jar or strain whatever, either in pulling the wheel out of the wind or letting it back into the wind, neither can the vane be blown into the wind wheel. The governing device is clearly shown in illustrations Nos. 2, 3 and 4. THE BRAKE of the Improved Kenwood Windmill works against the inner surface of the large wind wheel spider. It is ad¬ justable and very effective, holding the wind wheel perfectly still when the wheel is pulled out of the wind, and is operated by the action of pulling the wheel out of the wind. THE WIND WHEEL sections, arms and braces and the complete vane are galvanized after completion. The motor and its parts and all castings and similar parts are nicely painted, so that the complete windmill is finished in a workmanlike manner. We do not claim that the Improved Kenwood Windmills and Tov/ers are the heaviest windmills and towers made, but we do claim that they are the best proportioned, and most substantial wind¬ mills and towers on the market at the present time, and we uphold this claim fully by the guarantee under which we sell them. A heavy mass of cast iron and steel does not make a windmill, nor do a few heavy steel bars make a tower, but a sufficient amount of iron and steel properly formed, proportioned and distributed can be made into a thoroughly effective and substantial windmill, and angle steel of proper proportions when properly put together and SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. braced will make an exceedingly strong and handsome tower, and this is the way Improved Kenwood Windmills and Towers are de signed and made. Illustration No. 7 shows the main frame casting of the Improved Kenwood Pumping Windmills It shows the long double bab¬ bitted bearing for the main shaft with the large oil cup on its top. This frame is simple, strong and very easily replaced in case of accident. It is secured to the heavy channel steel pivot bar by strong set screws Illustration No. 8 shows the ad- Illustration No. 8 Illustration No. 9 Illustration No. 7 justable shaft box which carries the large pumping gear shaft.

Illustration No. 9 shows the heavy channel steel pivot bar upon which the various parts of the mill are firmly secured by heavy set screws. This makes a much better and more satisfactory turning post than the gas pipe which is cast into the main frame of the ordinary windmill, because it is stronger, and as it is not a fixed part of the main frame, should an accident 20 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. occur, it makes it much easier and less expensive to repair the mill, in fact, it allows one to put the windmill together piece by piece, on top of the tower, or to take it down in the same manner Illustration No. 10 shows the main shaft with the driving pinion, large and small wheel spiders attached All sizes ap¬ pear about the same, except that the shafts vary in size and length, the pinions vary in size and the spiders vary in size number of wheel arm seats Illustration No. 11 shows the large pumping gear and the Illustration No. 10 three holes in which the wrist pin may be fastened to obtain the different lengths of pump stroke* Illustration No. 12 shows the con¬ necting rod which transmits the power and motion from the wrist pin of the main gear to the head of the pitman rod, each end of the rod being provided with a large oil cup.

The steel spring bar bolts to the main frame casting, and the brake lever pivots on the main frame casting just back of the large wheel spider. The pull out chain passes over the sheave which is in the main frame, thence around the sheave at the end of the spring bar, then back to where it connects with the vane. The action of pulling the wheel out of the wind operates and sets the brake and the desired tension may be obtained by shortening or lengthening the adjustable connecting rod mm Illustration No. 15 Illustrations Nos. 15 and 16 show the governor of the Improved Kenwood Windmill, which is absolutely the best and most perfect windmill governor made. It consists of a heavy bumper rod or bar and a long and strong adjustable tension coil spring. One end of the bumper rod is hinged to an arm on the main frame casting, the other end passing 22 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. through a bracket on the under side of the lower vane bar at a considerable distance from the vane hinge and being provided with stops and compression springs both inside and outside of the vane arm bracket, so that all jar and strain is taken off the vane both in pulling the wheel out of the wind or letting it into the wind. One end of the gov¬ ernor spring is attached to the outer end of the bumper rod, the other end being secured to a bracket at the inner end of the lower vane bar, where a long eye bolt provides for ample adjustment of the tension spring. This governing device and the construction of our vane makes it impossible for the strongest blow the wind to vane into Illustration No. 16 the windwheel and in this respect the Improved Kenwood Wind¬ mills are far superior to the great ma¬ jority of windmills. Illustration No. 17 shows the pump pole swivel joint which connects the steel pitman rod with the wood pump pole. The pull-out wire which connects the pull-out chain and lever, passes through a guiding hole in the Illustration No. 18 Illustration No. 17 pivot bar end col¬ lar (this hole being separate from the one which guides the pitman rod), and then through the center of this swivel joint, thus prevent¬ ing the wire from SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL 23 becoming wound around the pump pole, when the windmill turns to the wind.

NOTE: When windmills are ordered which are to be mounted on a single wood mast, in place of the tower cap and step box, we furnish them with a mast cap and step box which bolt onto one side of the mast, but it is neces¬ sary that you state the size of your mast so that we can send bolts of the proper length. We can also furnish our windmills with tower cap and step box for a three post angle steel tower, but customer may have to fit his tower to and drill new holes for these fittings. All of our tower caps and mast caps have concave seats to fit the ball joint on which our windmills turn and which makes our windmills respond so quickly and turn very lightest breeze.

PRICES FOR IMPROVED KENWOOD GAL¬ VANIZED STEEL PUMPING WINDMILLS. The windmill which we advertise at $1 1.95 is our No. 32N1400, 6-foot Pumping Windmill, price $11.95, and is a size which will be found very desirable and serviceable for use in pumping water at an elevation of 100 feet or less., provided you use a pump cylinder of proper dimensions. Pumping windmills are complete with wind wheel, assembled motor, vane, pump pole swivel, pump connection, step box, adjustable pull-out lever and sufficient wood pump pole and galvanized steel pull-out wire for a tower 40 feet in height In other words, the pumping windmill complete but without a tower. When a pumping windmill is ordered without a steel tower, it is regularly furnished with a flat cap to set on top of the posts of a wood tower, but instead of a wood tower cap, if so ordered, we will furnish a cap for a four-post steel tower, or a cap for a three-post steel tower or a set of mast castings. When ordering a windmill to go on a wood mast, always give size of mast, and when ordering a windmill without a steel tower, be sure to state the height of tower or mast on which you will erect the windmill.

Illustration No. 29 shows the left side of the motor, illus¬ tration No. 30 the right side of the motor, the latter also showing the appearance of the back of the mill and giving a clear idea of the gearing and the manner in which the power is trans¬ mitted to the vertical shafting. THE MAIN CASTING is very heavy and strong, and is secured to a long heavy chan¬ nel bar which holds the windmill on the tower or mast perfectly plumb and allows it to turn freely. The bearings for the main shaft are contained in a long sleeve which is babbitted at both ends, leaving a space between the two bearings for oil and having a large oil cup on top of the sleeve. The main shaft is long and very heavy; to it are secured the outer and in¬ ner wind wheel spiders and the large spur or Illustration No. 29 driving gear of the mill; the large spur gear and the large wind wheel spider acting as col¬ lars and preventing end play of the shaft. The small spur gear and the large bevel gear are supported by a shaft which runs in two bearings, one between the small spur gear and the large bevel gear and the other back of the large bevel gear. The large bevel gear in turn transmits the power to the vertical shaft through the bevel pinion which is secured to the upper end of the vertical shaft, the vertical shaft having a long babbitted bearing directly under and close to the bevel pinion. -27- 28 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. In all other respects, that is, the wind wheel, the vane, the gov¬ erning device, the pivot surfaces, the brake, etc., our power windmill is practically constructed the same as our pumping windmills. FOR LIGHT FARM WORK, the utility of the steel power wind¬ mill as an economical and satisfac¬ tory motive power is recognized and acknowledged in every community in which such windmills have been used, but there is a limit both ways to this economy, and our experience has taught us that the 12-foot power wind¬ mill is the only desirable size Illustration No. 30 little, if any more, than a Therefore, we now sell but one size of power windmill, namely, the 12-foot size, and in every case where a customer desires greater power, we advise him to purchase a gasoline engine or some other similar motive power, because we consider his interests, and know that a gasoline engine, costing but large power windmill, will give him better results and be far more satisfactory. THE IMPROVED KENWOOD POWER WI NDMILLS are geared up to 1, that is, the vertical shaft of the windmill makes 5^ revolutions to every revolution of the wind wheel This gives the vertical shaft from 350 to 450 revolutions per minute, depending upon the velocity of the wind. By means of shafting, foot gear and pulleys, power can be transmitted to various machines such as feed cutters, wood saws, corn shellers, churns, pump jacks, etc. THE POWER DEVELOPED by power windmills depends very much upon the velocity of the wind. The design of our Im¬ proved Kenwood Power Windmill is such that you can obtain from the force of the wind the greatest possible amount of power, and in SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 29 winds that vary from ten to forty miles an hour, it will develop from one to four horse power; the average winds which are utilized resulting in about two and one-half horse power. We however, wish it distinctly understood that we guarantee that our Improved Ken¬ wood Power Windmill will develop, under like conditions and with the same velocity of wind, as much or more power than any other windmill of the same diameter. THE PRINCIPAL PARTS of our 12-foot power windmill are almost identical with similar parts of our 12-foot pumping wind¬ mill, and the special parts are very plainly shown in illustrations Nos. 29 and 30, therefore we do not deem it necessary to illus¬ trate these parts separately. Will say, however, that especial care is taken in the construction of our power windmills in design, ma¬ terial and workmanship, with a view to making them strong, service¬ able and powerful. Price for Our Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Power Windmill. A power windmill is complete with wind wheel, assembled mo¬ tor, vane, vertical shafting extending five feet below the turn table, step box, adjustable pull-out lever and sufficient galvanized wire pull¬ out cable for a 40-foot tower. In other words, the power windmill complete, but without a tower. A foot gear and a certain amount of vertical shafting (depend¬ ing upon the height of tower or mast), are always necessary items which must be ordered with a power windmill, and nearly always you will require ten feet or more of line shafting. These items are described and priced on other pages of this catalogue and are not included in the price of the windmill, but must be ordered separately. When a power windmill is ordered without a tower, it is regu¬ larly furnished with fittings for a wood mast, but instead of the fit¬ tings for a wood mast, if so ordered, we will furnish a flat cap to set on top of the posts of a wood tower, or a cap for a four-post steel tower or cap for a three-post steel tower. When ordering a windmill to go on a wood mast always give size of mast, and when ordering a windmill without a steel tower, be sure to state the height of tower or mast on which you will erect the windmill.

Our experi¬ ence in the windmill busi¬ ness has enabled us to make certain improvements in the construction and brac¬ ing of windmill towers which not only adds to the strength of the towers but also to the convenience of handling and erecting same CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVED KEN¬ WOOD TOWERS We have adopted 10-foot corner posts in the con¬ struction of our towers; first, because towers hav¬ ing joints every 10 feet are stronger and stiffer than those having joints 20 feet apart; second, because it enables us to strengthen our towers materially from the top to the bottom; third, because it makes it unnec¬ essary to handle long heavy pieces of steel and also pre¬ vents a great deal of loss in transit, which occurs in the handling of long material and which cannot be loaded into short cars, it being a GROUND LINE OF 40 FT. TOWE R ABOUT 8* 6'• SQUARE GROUND LINE OF 50 FT, TOWER ABOUT IO'U ’s’qUARE TOWER SQUARE -30- Illustration No. 31 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 31 well known fact that where there is long material which cannot be loaded in short cars, the smaller parts are sent forward and the longer parts are left to follow by another train and are frequently lost by this splitting up of the shipment. Illustration No. 31 shows the plan of our towers and aside from showing the corner posts, cross girts, brace rods, ladder, anchor posts and platform, it also gives approximate measurements at the base of towers of different heights. The cross girts above the platform add materially to the strength of the tower, and these girts are not used by many other tower makers. For the top corner posts we use angle steel of ample strength for this part of the tower, and as the tower increases in height we use heavier angle steel, and by so doing build a tower which increases in strength as it increases in height. Each section of the corner posts is securely bolted together by steel bolts of ample strength. The upper 10-foot section of the tower is provided with two or more com¬ plete sets of cross girts, as may be required, and with one complete set of brace rods. Each succeeding section of the tower is provided with one complete set of cross girts and one complete set of brace rods, therefore, at the base of every one of our towers, next to the ground, there is a complete set of cross girts, bracing the tower firmly and making it rigid. Another feature in the construction of these towers is the use of diagonal cross rods for the purpose of bracing the tower from corner to corner, so that the tower cannot, twist or be warped by the wind. The platform furnished with our towers is very large and strong and the ladder leading to the platform is a regulation ladder, made with angle steel sides and steel steps and bolted securely to the cross girts, making a ladder, which is safe and easy to climb. Our method of tightening the brace rods is superior to that used by any other company, every brace rod being tightened equally and an equal strain being put on to each rod. The brace rods of our towers are not reduced in size by having threads cut upon them, but the full strength of the material is left in the rod end to end, and, as before mentioned, there are eight of these brace rods to every 10-foot section of the tower. 32 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. The materials used in the construction of the Improved Ken¬ wood Towers are of the best that can be obtained For the corner posts and cross girts we use the best quality of angle steel, with a fillet or round corner where the two legs of the angles meet on the inner side. Illustration No. 32 shows the lower 10 feet of one of our regular pumping windmill towers. The special purpose of this illustration is to show the thoroughness of the brac¬ ing employed in our towers. As will be seen, the cross girts are secured to the cor¬ ner posts by one set of the bolts which bolt the cor¬ ner posts together, and the last set of cross girts is at the joint close to the ground, where the corner posts bolt to the anchor posts. This illustration also shows thepull* out lever which is described in connection with illustration No. 28. It shows the four corner posts of the tower, the set of cross girts and brace rods and the ladder belonging to this section of the tower, also the set of cross girts, diagonal cross rods and the pump pole guide, belonging to the next upper section of the tower Illustration No. 32 Improved Kenwood Towers are galvanized after completion, that is, every piece of the tower is cut, punched and finished before the different parts are galvanized, therefore, these towers are far superior to the ordinary tower, the parts of which are galvanized before they are cut or punched. Another thing, to which we particularly desire SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 33 to call our customers’ attention, is the fact that all brace rods and diagonal brace rods are galvanized, whereas those of many other towers are simply painted. We do not galvanize our bolts but dip them. If we were to galvanize them, the threads would have to be re-cut and they would then not be as good as dipped bolts. All cast iron parts of the tower, also the platform, are nicely painted, therefore the entire tower is finished in a perfect manner. Illustration No. 33 shows a section of one corner of our towers, illustrating the manner of bolting the corner posts together, bolting the cross girts and brace rods to the corner posts, and showing the oblong holes which allows the tightening of the brace rods. This illustration in connection with illustration No. 32 cannot help but convince you that our towers are strong, well braced and easily put together. Illustration No. 34 shows one of the anchor posts of our towers. These posts are five feet long, being from six inches to a foot longer than those usually furnished, and instead of supplying the bottom of our anchor posts with a small casting which forms no base whatever, and which is usually riveted to the bottom of the anchor posts with small rivets, each anchor post for all of our towers is fur¬ nished with a large cast iron plate and the anchor posts are bolted to these plates with four heavy steel bolts, giving as substantial a fastening at the anchor plates as is provided at the joints of the corner posts. This anchor plate is shown in the illustration, and we particularly ask our customers to compare the anchorage of our towers with those of any other make. The pull-out lever which is used to pull the windmill out of the wind is always a part of the windmill, but when the windmill is furnished with one of our steel towers, the pull-out lever which is sup¬ plied clamps to one of the corner posts of the tower 34 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. and is adjustable, so that it is an easy matter to move this lever up and down to give proper tension on the pull-out wire. Towers for pumping windmills are supplied with pump pole guides, and towers for power windmills are supplied with supports for the vertical shaft boxes. Our towers are made in different weights to suit the size of the windmill which is to be erected upon them. They are also made in three classes, that is, regular towers for pumping windmills, not suitable for supporting tanks in the towers, regular towers for power windmills, not suitable for supporting tanks in the tower, and suburban outfit towers for either 6-foot, 8-foot or 10- foot pumping windmills, especially designed for supporting tower tanks described in connection with such towers. We advise our customers in ordering a windmill to include with their order an order for a steel tower to match. While our windmills are adapted for and thousands of them are erected on wood towers or wood masts, our prices for steel towers are so ex¬ tremely low that a steel tower, considering the fact that it will out¬ last any make of wooden tower, is really cheaper than a wooden tower. When deciding upon the height of tower to order, be sure to select one high enough. The bottom of the wheel should be at least ten feet above any obstruction which is within a quarter of a mile of the windmill, provided it is possible to elevate the windmill to this height. Sometimes, of course, this cannot be done. It may be found necessary to erect the windmill near the foot of a hill or in a place where it would be impossible to elevate to a point above obstructions which might be on one side of the windmill. In such case select the height of tower which will give you proper results from the directions in which you can utilize the wind, and do not expect to operate the windmill when the wind comes from the direction of the hill or other obstruction. PRICES FOR IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED ANGLE STEEL FOUR-POST TOWERS Please note that different sizes of windmills require different strength of towers, and that we list towers of different weights and strength for different sizes of windmills. When ordering a tower, SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 35 order by the catalogue number to the left of the height of tower and allow the price shown to the right of the height of tower in the column which indicates the size and kind of windmill with which the tower is to be used. We will not ship out a windmill and tower unless the tower ordered is the tower specified by us for use with the size of wind¬ mill selected, or is heavier than the tower specified by us. Regular towers are made to support the windmill only and will not support a tank in the tower. Suburban outfit towers are made to support a tank in the tower and also to support a windmill at the top of the tower. These towers are made of very much heavier angle steel than is used in regular towers up to the point where the bottom of the tank is supported. Above this point the corner posts are the same as corresponding sections of the regular towers. The bottom of the tank is supported by heavy steel bars which take the place of that particular set of cross girts, and which are firmly secured to the corner posts by very heavy bolts and on which you lay timbers for the tank to rest on. Otherwise the construc¬ tion of suburban outfit towers is the same as the construction of regular towers. Suburban outfit towers for supporting an 1 1-barrel tank are made to support the tank at 20 feet from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tank. Those for supporting a 27-barrel tank are made to support the tank at 30 feet from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tank. The prices on towers are for the towers complete including a wood platform, four anchor posts and four heavy cast iron anchor plates, in other words the tower complete, but without a windmill.

ABOUT THE WINDMILL AGENT There are windmill agents who make their living by selling windmills on easy payment terms and at extremely long profits, both to the manufacturer, wholesaler, and the agent who comes to your door. He will tell you all about the good qualities of his windmill, he will have little if anything to say in favor of the other man’s windmill, and when you tell him you can buy a. 40-foot Steel Tower and an 8-foot Steel Windmill, a complete galvanized outfit for $37.15, when he has probably asked you $60.00 to $80.00, he will tell you it is an impossibility; he may tell you the tower is worthless and the windmill worse than that, if possible. We know he says many unkind things about us, and, unfortunately, as we are SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 37 not on the ground, we are not there to defend our case. We have decided to say nothing in attempt to make any response to this long priced agent, but let the buyer decide for himself. It is for this reason that we answer all his arguments by saying we will send any windmill to any address, to be tried thirty days, with the privilege of returning, the money to be refunded. If after the windmill is up and tested, any agent or any set of agents can convince the buyer that we are wrong and the agent is right, it is the privilege of the buyer to return the windmill to us, all at our expense, his money to be immediately refunded. At our special prices, prices as shown in detail on the pages of this catalogue, prices based on the .actual cost of material and labor, on our thirty days’ free trial offer and our binding one year guarantee, on our reputation as the largest dealers in general mer¬ chandise in the world, selling direct to the consumer, on our finan¬ cial responsibility, with a capital and surplus of over Two Million Dollars, to make good our every promise, representation and guaran¬ tee, we earnestly speak for your trade. For further details and general description of all our pumping and power windmills, we refer you to other pages of this catalogue. OUR ONE YEAR BINDING GUARANTEE One of the strongest guarantees issued with any windmill, insures the buyer as to the durability of the windmill, and removes any possible chance of risk. We cannot afford to sel 1 you a windmill that isn’t exactly right. We have a reputation established in every section of the country, so valuable to us that we of all houses could not afford to send out a windmill or tower that was defective or weak in any piece or part. Our windmills have been put to every possible test, every point has been carefully studied, the weak points of other windmills have been made strong and the objectionable ‘ features in many windmills have been removed. We did not go into the windmill business on this extensive scale until we had overcome every difficulty and placed ourselves in a position to offer a strictly high grade all steel windmill and steel tower at prices so far below any competitor, that we feel that every farmer needing a windmill pumping outfit should place his order in our hands. PUMPING WINDMILL OUTFITS A pumping windmill outfit consists of a windmill alone to go on a wood tower or a windmill and whatever height of regular steel tower you may require, or a windmill, a suburban outfit steel tower of the height which may be required and a steel tapered tower tank. HOW IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL BACK-GEARED PUMPING WINDMILLS CAN BE USED The windmill and tower may be set directly over the well, so that the pump will be in the center of the tower, or the tower can be set close to the spring or other water supply, the pump set so as to be operated direct by the windmill and the water drawn by suc¬ tion from the water supply, provided the water supply is not more than twenty feet below the pump cylinder. Where it is not possible to set the tower and windmill over the well, and the distance is great between the windmill and the water supply, it is always better to place the pump directly over the water supply, and to operate it by means of quadrant levers, or if the dis¬ tance is not over sixteen feet, you can use a pair of rocker arms. HOW TO SELECT A PUMPING WINDMILL The lift or elevation of water means the total height the water is raised from the lowest level of the water in the well, no matter whether the pipe is in the well only or carried to a tank above the ground. Each 100 feet of horizontal pipe or each elbow in the pipe should be counted as equal to a lift of about 2 \ feet. We recom¬ mend the following selection of pumping windmills and pump cylin¬ ders for the lifts mentioned: If the lift is less, and you wish to use the mill for irrigation purposes, the size of cylinder can be increased proportionately, up to a 4-inch cylinder with a 6-foot windmill, a 6- inch cylinder with an 8-foot windmill, an 8-inch cylinder with a 10- foot windmill, and a 10-inch cylinder with a 12 foot windmill to lift water ten feet or less. Smaller cylinders than we mention can be used if desired. — 38 — SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 39 For 50-foot lift: Use a 6-foot mill with 2^-inch cylinder, or an 8-foot mill with a 3-inch cylinder, or a 10-foot mill with a 4-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 6-inch cylinder. For 75-foot lift: Use a 6-foot mill with a 2^-inch cylinder, or an 8-foot mill with a 2f-inch cylinder, or a 10-foot mill with a 3£- inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 5-inch cylinder. For 100-foot lift: Use a 6-foot mill with a 2-inch cylinder, or an 8-foot mill with a 2^-inch cylinder, or a 10-foot mill with a 3^-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 4j--inch cylinder. For 125-foot lift: Use an 8-foot mill with a 2-^-inch cylinder, or a 10-foot mill with a 3-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 4-inch cylinder. For 150-foot lift: Use an 8 foot mill with a 2-inch cylinder, or a 10-foot mill with a 2f-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 3f- inch cylinder, For 200-foot lift: Use a 10-foot mill with a 2^-inch cylin¬ der, or a 12-foot mill with a 3^-inch cylinder. For 250-foot lift: Use a 10-foot mill with a 2^-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 2f-inch cylinder. For 300-foot lift: Use a 10-foot mill with a 2-inch cylinder, or a 12-foot mill with a 2^-mch cylinder. Capacity of windmills vary under different conditions, and the above table shows a very conservative estimate of the size of cyl¬ inders which should be used, but, whatever variations there may be, we guarantee that the Improved Kenwood Pumping Windmills will lift as much water under equal conditions as any windmill of cor¬ responding size, and that they will operate in much lighter winds than most other windmills. For elevating water over 100 feet the work is too heavy and the strain too great for ordinary cylinders and small pipe. Deep well cylinders should be used for greater depth and in such cases when¬ ever possible you should use pipe larger than the cylinder. For general work do not select a cylinder larger than those recommended for 50-foot elevation. Cylinders larger than 4 inches cannot be used with ordinary pumps. 5-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 10- inch cylinders are used for irrigation purposes or in shallow wells only, and require special piping and fittings above the cylinders.

Price does not include pump or tank. __ IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL REGULAR PUMPING WINDMILL OUTFITS FROM $ 2 4.80 TO $84.10 A regular pumping windmill outfit consists of a complete gal¬ vanized steel pumping windmill and a complete galvanized steel regular pumping windmill tower. OUR ADVERTISED OUTFIT AT $24.80 The regular pumping windmill outfit which we advertise at $24.80 is our No. 32N1450, and consists of a 6-foot pumping wind¬ mill and a 20 foot regular pumping windmill tower. This makes a very desirable outfit when the lay of the land is such that a 20-foot tower is high enough to give the windmill the full benefit of the wind. OTHER REGULAR PUMPING WINDMILL OUTFITS FOR PRICES SEE PAGE 43 We can furnish either 6-foot, 8-foot, 10-foot or 12-foot pumping windmill with either 20-foot, 30-foot, 40 foot, 50 foot or 60-foot towers. Before selecting a pumping windmill or a tower see our advice about how to select pumping windmills and the height of tower which should be used, which will be found on pages 38, 39 and 42, then remember that it is always best to be on the safe side, that is to select a windmill which will pump even more water than you require and a tower which will elevate the windmill even higher than is absolutely necessary, because greater capacity in the windmill than you absolutely require not only insures an abundant supply of water but it adds to the life of the windmill itself, while a tower which is of good height not only places the windmill where it will obtain the force of winds which would otherwise pass over the windmill, but a high tower is always safer than a low tower and will withstand much heavier storms. Illustration No. 1 on page 2 shows an outfit consisting of an 8-foot pumping windmill and a 30-foot regular pumping windmill tower which is probably the most popular outfit in use, and while we advise the selection of 40-foot, 50-foot, and even 60-foot towers in* some — 41 — 42 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO , CHICAGO, ILL. localities, there are probably more 30-foot towers in use than all other towers combined, and this tower is usually high enough. However, the tower should always be high enough to bring the windmill well up above the tops of trees or other obstructions, like buildings, etc., so as to give the windmill the full and unbroken force of the wind. The bottom of the wheel should be at least ten feet above any obstruction which is within a quarter of a mile of the windmill, provided it is possible to elevate the windmill to this height. Sometimes, of course, this cannot be done. It may be found necessary to erect the windmill near the foot of a hill or in a place where it would be impossible to elevate to a point above obstructions which might be on one side of the windmill. In such case, select the height of tower which will give you proper results from the directions in which you can utilize the wind, and do not expect to operate the windmill when the wind comes from the direction of the hill or other obstruction. On prairie land, as, for instance, through Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, North and South Dakota and parts of Minnesota, the 20-foot and 30-foot towers are very popu¬ lar and answer every purpose of a higher or more expensive tower, but when there are trees, buildings, hills or other obstructions the 40-foot, 50-foot or 60-foot towers will be found the best and most satisfactory. Illustration No. 35 shows an outfit which is really one of the best outfits for ordinary use. It consists of an 8-foot pumping windmill and a 40-foot regular pumping windmill tower. A tower which is usually high enough for all practical purposes, unless there be trees or high buildings in the vicinity of the windmill. From these illustrations you get a very good idea of the general appearance, outline and proportions of our regular steel pumping windmill towers and steel pumping windmills. From the various illustrations and detailed descriptions on the pages of this catalogue you can get almost as good a knowledge of the mechanical construction and excellence of the Improved Kenwood Windmills and Towers as you could if you were to personally examine them. Our windmills and towers are now used in almost every county in every state in the Union. They have been placed side by side in competition with almost every other steel and wood windmill and steel tower made, and from everywhere we have received the most flattering SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 43 reports as to their simplicity, durability, strength and the general satis¬ faction they have given. The details of construction of windmill and tower, including all the parts that go to make up this complete machine, are fully illustrated and carefully described on the pages of this catalogue. Read the catalogue carefully and you will clearly understand the mechanical construction of both windmill and tower, and by comparison with the description of any other windmill and tower, you will readily see wherein the Improved Kenwood is the equal of any, and in many ways the superior of every all steel pumping windmill and tower made. COMPLETE WINDMILL OUTFITS For the convenience of our customers who desire to order com¬ plete windmill outfits, aside from listing the windmills and towers separately, we list them in combination, as shown in the following tables. These prices however are for the windmill and tower complete, but do not include pump, pipe, tanks or other accessories. Prices for Complete Regular Pumping Windmill Outfits A complete regular pumping windmill outfit consists of a galvanized steel pumping windmill complete and a regular galvanized steel four- post tower complete, each tower being the style and weight especially designed for the windmill which it is to support.

There are many places where a 6- foot, 8-foot or 10-foot pumping windmill will not pump a suf¬ ficient amount of water to supply the requirements. To meet this proposition, we are prepared to furnish a 12-foot pumping windmill, an extra large and very strong machine; a windmill which will pump a large volume of water, either for supply pur¬ poses or for irrigation purposes. This windmill is particularly adapted to large farms, to stock ranches, to irrigation plants and to village water supply. It is an exceedingly powerful machine and though but one and one-half times as large in diameter as an 8-foot windmill, it will elevate nearly three times as much water. For irrigation purposes, a 12-foot Improved Kenwood Steel Pump¬ ing Windmill is better adapted than any other size of windmill, because of its great strength and its substantial character and because it will pump a very large volume of water. It would be a difficult matter in a catalogue of this character, to give any practical suggestions as to the manner of arranging an irrigation plant. We, however, have had our artist show in the preceding sketch some ideas which may be found applicable to your own particular case. We are prepared to furnish the necessary machinery for the installation of irrigation plants; that is the windmill, the tower, the irrigation cylinder and the discharge pipe above the cylinder, which pipe may be wrought iron or galvanized steel, as the special requirements of the case may demand. The installation of a complete irrigation plant is of itself not a difficult matter. Anyone desiring to provide such a plant, must, of course, be — 45 — 46 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. governed entirely by the conditions of his own particular case. First, what is wanted, is an abundant supply of water. Then the windmill, windmill tower and the pumping apparatus. The making of the reservoir and the canals or ditches leading from the res¬ ervoir to the grounds which you wish to irrigate is a simple matter. While we show in the illustration a 12-foot windmill, it is very often the case that a smaller windmill will answer all re¬ quirements. In fact, a 10-foot pumping windmill is frequently used for irrigation purposes. You can select the cylinder and piping for an irrigation plant from the pump supply section of this catalogue. If you decide to use regular iron pipe, use the size specified for the cylinder selected. If galvanized steel pipe is used, we recommend that the pipe be the same size as the cylinder. You will require at least two feet more pipe than the distance from the top of the cylinder to the point of discharge (three feet would be better), one tee to form the discharge opening, and unless a wooden trough will answer, you will also need a sufficient amount of pipe to convey the water from the upright pipe to the reservoir. We recom¬ mend that you use our standard wrought iron pipe because it is more rigid than steel pipe, and at the end will really prove more serviceable and cost less money. On other pages of this catalogue we give a full detailed description of the construction of the Improved Kenwood Wind¬ mills and Towers and also give the prices of the windmills and towers alone and of complete windmill outfits. ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY. Rapid City, So. Dak. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen: —Mr. B. S. Jurgenson requests us to say, that the windmill you sold him is entirely satisfactory; he has it set up and it works like a charm. Yours very truly, JOHN C. HAINES. STOOD THE STORM WHEN MOST OTHER WINDMILLS BLEW DOWN. Eckley, Colo. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: The windmill I ordered from you last April is entirely satisfactory and exactly as represented and I am sure that I saved money by ordering from you. In August we had a wind storm here that blew most of the windmills to pieces, but mine stood the storm without a scratch. I am well pleased with the windmill also with Sears, Roebuck & Co. Yours, etc., G. M. HUDDLESTON. ILLUSTRATION No. 37 Showing our No. 32N1456 Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit, price, $67.35, consisting of an 8-foot Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Pumping Windmill, a 50 foot Improved Kenwood Suburban Outfit Tower, and an 11-barrel Galvanized Steel Tapered Tower Tank. A most desirable outfit for a small private water supply. Price does not include pump, piping, stock tank, conical cover for tower tank or supporting timbers under the tower tank. — 47— IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL SUBURBAN PUMPING WINDMILL OUTFITS FROM $58.25 TO $103.55 The Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit which is shown in illus¬ tration No. 37, shows clearly the appearance of all Improved Kenwood Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits, whether they be with 6-foot, 8-foot or 10-foot pumping windmills, or with 40-foot, 50 foot or 60-foot towers. The tank shown in the illustration, as will be seen is placed at a point twenty feet from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tank. This is the position at which all 11-barrel tanks are placed in the Improved Kenwood Towers. Consequently, in a 40-foot tower, it elevates the tank twenty feet from the ground to the bottom of the tank. In a 50-foot tower it elevates the tank thirty feet from the ground to the bottom of the tank. In a 60- foot tower it elevates the tank forty feet from the ground to the bottom of the tank. At our prices we provide you with a complete Suburban Pump¬ ing Windmill Outfit for less money than would be charged you by a dealer for an ordinary windmill and tower of the same height. Remember that Suburban Pumping Windmill Towers are specially designed; they are much stronger than ordinary towers. The towers are heavier; they are specially designed for the purpose of carrying, in addition to the windmill and weight of tower, the great weight of the tank filled with water. Therefore, in comparing our prices for a Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit with the dealer’s price for a regular outfit, bear this in mind and then you will realize what a bargain we offer you. For general purposes we advise the purchase of an outfit of the dimensions shown in the illustration. This, because it gives you a windmill of large capacity, and because it elevates your water supply high enough to give great force in the distribution of the water. We also make Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits using a 27- barrel tapered tower tank and with either 50-foot or 60-foot towers. In — 48 — SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 49 these outfits the towers are much heavier than the towers made to sup¬ port the 11-barrel tanks. In Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits, sup¬ plied with 27-barrel tanks, the bottom of the tank is at a point thirty feet from the top of the tower. Therefore, in a 50-foot tower the bot¬ tom of the tank would be elevated twenty feet above the ground, and in a 60-foot tower the bottom of the tank would be elevated thirty feet above the ground. Of course, the height of tower which you will require with a Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit depends upon two points: First, how high you must have the tower in order to elevate the windmill so that it will obtain the full force of the wind, and next, how high you must have the tower in order to elevate your tank so as to get proper force in the distribution of the water. With a Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit using a 27-barrel tank, we advise the purchase of a 60-foot tower, because this elevates the tank thirty feet above the ground and gives a splendid force to the water. We do not make this outfit with less than a 50-foot tower. These outfits can be furnished with either 6-foot, 8-foot or 10-foot pumping windmills, and with either 11-barrel or 27-bar¬ rel galvanized steel tapered tower tanks. At our prices we practically furnish you a complete city water system. That is, we furnish you the windmill for pumping the water, the tank, as a reservoir for holding the water, and the tower for carrying the windmill and supporting the reservoir at such height as will give your water force, which, by means of pipes, you can convey wherever you like. Of course, the pump and piping is extra and must be selected to meet the special requirements of your case. With such an outfit you can pipe the water into any part of your house, barn or other buildings, and your house can be piped for a water supply exactly the same as in any city. Again, with this tank reservoir, you can pipe water to your pasture, your barn, or to almost every part of your farm. At a nominal expense and with little additional cost for piping, you practically have every advantage of the most perfect water system. AS A FIRE PROTECTION As a fire protection our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit is especially recommended. At a little additional expense for an 50 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. extra strength tower and a tank, you have all the advantages of the ordinary pumping windmill, and you always have this reser¬ voir of water of from eleven to twenty-seven barrels, according to size ordered, which is not only a great convenience in con¬ veying water about your place, but it is always a big protection against fire. Should fire occur in any of your buildings, if you will provide yourself with sufficient hose to connect to your near¬ est water pipe, you can easily and readily reach the fire and extinguish it. No farmer with valuable buildings can really afford to be without a reservoir of water as a iire protection, to say nothing of the great convenience and great labor saving advan¬ tages, and our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits afford the most convenient and inexpensive means of supplying yourself with this ever ready supply of water. AN IDEAL SUBURBAN OUTFIT To people residing in suburban towns outside of large cities, and outside the regular city water supply, and to people residing in inland towns and villages which are not equipped with a water supply, we especially recommend our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits. Many of these people have been accustomed to the com¬ forts of a city water system, whereby a supply of water is sup¬ plied by the city, and conveyed by piping throughout the home and extending into the lawn and the garden. * Our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit supplies all these at a very nominal expense. At a cost of $58.25 for our smallest complete outfit, upwards, according to size, you have a permanent water supply, you have every advantage given you by a city water system. If you are building a home in a suburban town outside of the city water limits, if you are building a home in a town or village not equipped with a city water system, or if you al ready own a home in one of these places and are not provided with the comforts of a perfect water system, and with the in¬ surance against fire that a water system always affords, we urge that you consider one of our complete Suburban Pumping Wind¬ mill Outfits. To florists, to market gardeners, to all those who appreciate the privilege of beautifying the lawn and landscape by an abundant vu Mt r |! SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 51 supply of fresh water all of which from our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit is easily conveyed by means of pipe and hose, for all those, these outfits are especially recommended. HEIGHT OF TOWER TO ORDER In deciding on the height of tower, size of tank, and size of windmill, the following should be considered: Water pressure necessary and the probable amount of water you will require. The tank platform or bottom of tank is twenty feet below the top of the tower for a 11-barrel tank, and thirty feet below the top of the tower for a 27-barrel tank. The bottom of the tank should be higher than the highest point you wish to convey the water, either in your house, barn or surroundings. For Example: First consider where you are going to place the tower, then consider the highest point to which you wish to convey water. If you wish a water tank in the top of the barn or attic of the house, or on a raise of ground, in pasture, yard or elsewhere, or you wish to convey the water by means of pipe, hose or otherwise to garden, lawn or elsewhere, bear in mind that the tower should be sufficiently high so that the bottom of the tank will be as high or higher than the highest point to which you wish to convey the water. A tank in the attic of the house or the upper floor of the barn should be no higher than to the bottom of the tank in your tower. The higher the reservoir and tank stands above the point to which you wish to convey the water, the greater will be the water pressure, and in no case can water be conveyed from this tank reservoir to a point higher than the bottom of the tank. SIZE OF MILL The tower, of course, should be high enough, regardless of height of tank or water pressure, to bring the windmill above the top of any buildings, trees or other surroundings, to give it full effect of the wind, and on the amount of water supply and the depth of water required will depend whether you should have a 6-foot, 8-foot or 10-foot windmill. It. OF ILL Liu. 52 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO.. CHICAGO, ILL. WATER SUPPLY OUTFIT For Pipe, Hose, Tanks, Pumps, etc., for such supplies as are necessary for the conveying, storing, tanking and handling of water from one of our tank outfits, see our special prices on these goods. The full-page illustration No. 37 shows our 8-foot Improved Kenwood Windmill, 50-foot Suburban Outfit Tower and 11-barrel Tapered Tank, gives you an idea of the general appearance of the outfit, and how it is utilized for pumping, storing and con¬ veying of water supply. In this case the tank is erected on a platform, the base of which is 20 feet from the top of the tower and 30 feet from the ground. With the reservoir in this position, the water can be con¬ veyed by pipe or hose to any point in any building or on any ground, provided such point is not more than thirty feet higher than the ground base of the tower. In this case, the windmill is shown as being used for pumping water into the tower tank and also into a trough at the base of the tower. Water is conveyed by a pipe across the road, as indicated by dotted line, to the house. In the attic of the house is a house tank which can always be kept full of water, and from this tank, the house being piped as for city, water is sup¬ plied with ample pressure, the same as any city supply. Just before you reach the house, as indicated by a dotted line, is a running fountain, also supplied from the tank reservoir. Hose connections can be placed at different points, and by attaching hose one can water the lawn, wash the windows and porches and have an ever-ready fire extinguisher, with an abundant water supply. Follow the dotted line to the left and you follow a water pipe leading to the barn. In the barn is a large storage tank, always full of a fresh supply of water for the watering of stock. From the barn (by a pipe), the water is carried back to a pasture which has a stock tank, from which tank the stock in the pasture get their supply of fresh water, as carried from the tank. From the storage tank a pipe runs to the vegetable garden to the left of the barn, and through this pipe an abundant supply of water is always at hand, for the supplying of water for the vegetable garden in dry or droughty periods. The luxury of one of our Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits can only be appreciated by those who have used them and others who SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 53 have had the advantages of a perfect city water system. The ad¬ vantage that we claim for our tank outfit, however, is that the cost of water is not 10 per cent that charged by cities for no better supply. The picture as shown in illustration No. 37, will give you a fine idea of the general appearance of the windmill, tank and tower. The windmill being a regular windmill, by following the smaller and sectional illustrations and descriptions through this book, you get a very good idea of the construction of the Improved Kenwood Gal¬ vanized Steel Windmills, and by following the small illustrations and detailed descriptions you also get a good idea of the construction of our steel towers, the highest grade towers on the market. We feel in directing you to a Suburban Pumping Windmill Tower as against an ordinary steel tower, that the Suburban Outfit Tower gives you all the advantages of an ordinary tower, and with a tank for water reservoir you have additional advantages to well repay you for the comparatively slight difference in cost. Whether on a farm, in a suburban town, in town or village ; whether a gardener, a florist, wherever you may be located, if you have any use for an abundant water supply ; any use for the best pumping outfit constructed ; if you would like any further information before ordering ; if you have been made any kind of a proposition by any other maker, agent or dealer, do not fail to write us before buying. While our prices are our lowest possible prices, prices based on the actual cost of material and labor, with but our one small percentage of profit added, and about one-half the price charged by dealers generally, while our prices (quality for quality), are much lower than you can possibly get elsewhere, such prices as were never before offered by any maker, if there is any infor¬ mation concerning windmills, towers, tanks, their operation, con¬ struction, handling; if there is anything that you are not clear on, write us, and we will be pleased to inform you whether you buy from us or not. Prices for Complete Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfits A complete Suburban Pumping Windmill Outfit consists of a gal¬ vanized steel pumping windmill, a galvanized steel suburban outfit four-post tower, and a No. 20 gauge galvanized steel tapered tower tank, but does not include a tank cover or the timbers for the 54 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. platform under the tank.

NO FEAR OF HIGH WINDS. Fillmore, New York. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: It is fourteen months since I erected my galvanized windmill. Can say it is all you represent it to be. It has proven satisfactory in every respect. Said windmill runs in as light a wind as any windmill I ever saw. In high wind I have no fear of my pump being broken, as the windmill is well regulated. Consider I saved $25.00 on windmill and tower, as it is a windmill of superior make and work to windmills commonly erected in this vicinity. Thanking you for past favors, I remain, Yours truly, EYERETT L. REDMAN. PUMPS IN A VERY EIGHT WIND. Prescott, Arkansas. Messrs, Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: The windmill is perfectly.satisfactory, and it is all you claim it to be. I think I saved money by ordering it from you. It raises the water 100 feet and will pump in a very light wind, which is of great importance in this locality. There is only one other windmill in this locality and it has proved to be a complete failure on account of light winds, but it is not one of your windmills. Hoping this one may be the cause of your selling many in this locality, I remain, Yours very truly, A. W. NEWTH. WELL PLEASED. Belleville N. C. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: The windmill which I bought of you for Governor Russell’s planta¬ tion has proved very satisfactory. It has been in use about nine months now and has given no trouble. We are much gratified with its quality and working ability in light winds. Respectfully, E, W. SAWYER. POWER WINDMILL OUTFITS That much of the vertical shafting which is included with the windmill, extends downward five feet below the turntable. When ordering a power windmill, first decide how high you will erect it and how high above the ground you want the horizontal shaft of the foot gear, then remember that aside from the windmill itself, you will require an amount of vertical shafting to connect the wind¬ mill with the foot gear equal to the elevation of the windmill less the sum of the lengths of the vertical shaft on the windmill and foot gear (which is feet) and the height at which you desire to have the horizontal shaft of the foot gear above the ground or floor. You will also require a foot gear at the bottom of the vertical shafting and doubtless some line shafting and pulleys. If the wind¬ mill is to be erected on a steel tower, it will also be necessary that you order a tower. HOW IMPROVED KENWOOD STEEL POWER WINDMILLS CAN BE PLACED Our Improved Kenwood Power Windmills can be placed on a steel tower, on a wood tower, or, as is quite common, they may be placed on a single mast above the barn. Power windmills can be used for running corn shellers, feed grinders, feed cutters, shredders, wood saws, churns, bone mills, and for numerous other purposes on the farm where from one to three- horse power are required, and power windmills are frequently used for running machinery in blacksmith and other small jobbbing shops. IMPROVED KENWOOD POWER WINDMILLS CAN BE USED FOR PUMPING WATER AS WELL AS FOR RUNNING MACHINERY This is accomplished by using a windmill pump jack, or you can use our Kenwood pump jack, which attaches direct to the pump standard. You can also use quadrant levers in connection with our windmill pump jack so as to connect with a pump at a con¬ siderable distance from the windmill. On the following pages we show illustrations and give descrip tions of power windmill outfits complete, for wood masts and com¬ plete with steel towers; and following the description of outfits with steel towers, we give prices for complete power windmill outfits. — 55 — ILLUSTRATION No. 38 — 56 — IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL, 12-FOOT POWER WIND¬ MILL, COMPLETE OUTFITS, FOR WOOD MASTS FROM $41.60 TO $49.60 For $41.60 we can furnish you a complete Power Windmill Outfit, • consisting of our 12-foot Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel, Power Windmill, our Windmill Foot Gear, having an 18x6-inch pulley, 10 feet of line shafting and the necessary vertical shafting, with couplings and boxes, all ready to attach to a 20-foot wood mast, up to $49.60 for same style of outfit to attach to a 60-foot wood mast. These prices are such as cannot help but surprise you. They are less than half the price which a windmill agent would charge you for an outfit of the same description. We are enabled to make these prices only by having made an extensive contract under the most favorable conditions. In illustration No. 38 we show the Improved Kenwood Power Windmill, as it appears when mounted on a wood mast over the barn, showing the manner of bracing the mast with our steel guy rods and how various machines may be driven by the power developed by the wind¬ mill. You will note that the line shafting is arranged in this case so that it projects outs de of the barn for the purpose of driving a wood saw. This is one of the most common and most profitable uses to which a power windmill is put. It would be useless for us to go into any special detail in relation to the different machines which can be operated in connection with one of these windmills, or for us to attempt to tell you how to arrange the machines in your own barn. All kinds of machines can be run by the power developed by a power windmill, as well as in any other way, and in each particular case they must be arranged to suit the special conditions of the case. We are prepared to furnish 12-foot Power Windmill Outfits of every description and every outfit which we advertise will be furnished at prices in line with those just mentioned. We have arranged the various outfits in combination and priced each of them separately, so that as soon as you have decided what size of windmill you want and to what height you wish to erect it, you can immediately tell precisely what the outfit will cost you, and it will not be necessary for you to go to the trouble of figuring up the separate items. We want to see an Improved Kenwood Power Windmill Outfit on every farm in the country which is not now supplied with a Power Windmill Outfit, and the prices which we make on these goods are so extremely favorable that no farmer, be he owner or tenant, can afford to be without one of these outfits For prices see page 61. -57- ILLUSTRATION No. 39 — 58 — IMPROVED KENWOOD GALVANIZED STEEL 12-FOOT POWER WINDMILL COMPLETE OUTFITS, WITH STEEL TOWERS FROM $62.30 TO $105.30 Illustration No. 39 is a picture of the Improved Kenwood Power Windmill, as it appears when mounted on a 60-foot Improved Ken¬ wood Tower, This picture shows plainly the general appearance of the windmill, and also shows very distinctly the construction of the tower, showing the cross girts, the cross rods running across the tower from corner post to corner post, the vertical shafting, the manner in which bearings are provided for the vertical shafting, the foot gear and how it can be attached, and many other points in connection with an outfit of this kind; as for instance, the manner of operating a pump by using our Windmill Pump Jack, and also the manner of extending line shafting from the foot gear into a barn or granary. Of course we could not show in this picture many of the machines which can be driven by the power windmill, but it will be readily understood that almost any machine can be operated by the power developed by the Improved Kenwood Power Windmill. To show the wonderfully low prices which we are making and at which we can furnish complete Power Windmill Outfits, we have made up and listed simple Power Windmill Outfits, consisting of the windmill, the tower, the vertical shafting, the foot gear and 10 feet of line shafting. Power windmills are usually erected to a height of forty to sixty feet above the ground or above the barn floor, depending upon local conditions, such as height of buildings or height of trees in the immediate neighborhood of the windmill. Assume that you wish to buy a Power Windmill Outfit, and that it will be necessary for you to erect it forty feet high. At $81.30 we would furnish you our 12-foot Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Power Windmill, together with a 40-foot Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Tower, a foot gear, having 18x6-inch pulley, 10 feet of line shafting and the necessary vertical shafting all complete; — 59 — 60 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. a price much lower than the ordinary windmill agent would charge you for the windmill alone. The prices which we name on our Power Windmill Outfits, are offered on the basis of the actual cost of material and labor, with but our one small percentage of profit added; offered under our binding guarantee for one year, as the equal of any Power Windmill Outfit made, regardless of price. You take no risk in ordering a Power Windmill Outfit from us on our extremely liberal 30 days’ trial terms, as explained in this catalogue. You have the privilege of seeing, examining and com¬ paring the windmill and the balance of the outfit, with any other outfit which you may be able to see and examine. You are allowed the privilege of thoroughly examining the windmill in every piece and part and then you also have the privilege of giving the windmill a 30 days’ trial. If you find that we have misrepresented it in any way, or if for any reason you are dissatisfied with it, send the windmill back to us at our expense and we will immediately return your money, if any has been sent. You cannot afford to be without a Power Windmill Outfit. There is much profitable work which you could do with an outfit of this kind, and, as the work would most of it be in the barn and under cover, it furnishes you employment for stormy days when you could not work outside; enables you to cut your feed and grind your grain, placing the product in the best condition for feeding purposes and really without cost to you, because, after your windmill is once erected, it costs you nothing for fuel and the wear and tear is so little, when the windmill is properly cared for, that it cannot be counted for anything. In purchasing a Power Windmill Outfit, we advise that you make use of a steel tov/er, because the Improved Kenwood Galvanized Steel Towers cost but very little, if anything, more than wood towers; are much handsomer in appearance and very much more durable. In fact, an outfit including a steel tower, will in the end cost you but little if any more than an outfit which you would erect on a wood mast, because, when you count the cost of the wood mast, all the labor which you must go to in securing the mast to your barn, and such other expenses as may be incurred, you will find that to erect a windmill on a steel tower is, after all, the most economical way in which you can put up an outfit of this character. SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 61 PRICES FOR COMPLETE 12-FOOT POWER WINDMILL OUTFITS A complete Power Windmill Outfit consists of a 12-foot gal¬ vanized steel power windmill complete, vertical shafting twelve feet less in length than the height of mast or tower on which the mill is to be erected, one foot gear with 18x6-inch pulley, and ten feet of line shafting. This constitutes an outfit to go on a wood mast or wood tower. If the windmill is ordered with a steel tower, the outfit is the same as above, with the addition of one regular galvanized steel four-post tower. The amount of vertical shafting furnished will place the horizontal shaft of the foot gear 5^- feet above the bottom of the mast or tower. If the windmill is to be erected on a wood mast, you can purchase from us a set of steel guy rods, which your blacksmith can lengthen or shorten. If they are not found to be of the proper length, or, in lieu of the guy rods, you can brace the mast with timbers. When ordering a Power Windmill Outfit, order by the catalogue number to the left of the height of tower or mast, and allow the price shown to the right of the height of tower or mast in the column which indicates whether the windmill is to go on a wood mast or wood tower, or whether the outfit is to be furnishsd with a steel tower, and if for mast give size of mast.

Gentlemen:—The 12-foot geared windmill which I bought of you last spring, is all right in every way. It has great power in a fair wind. I run the pump, butter churn, corn grinder, cider mill, grindstone, one-hole corn sheller, emery wheel, and a circular saw. I can run all these machines with that 12-foot wheel. In a good wind I can run half of these machines at one time. With my.12-foot wheel I mostly have too much power than not enough. I am well pleased with the windmill and it is a great piece of machinery. I can pump water with as little wind as anybody that has a pumping windmill. C. C. KRIEGHISER.

We recommend the use of Rocker Arms under these conditions. One of these Rocker Arms con¬ nects with the windmill pump pole, the other to pole leading to pump, and both are to be securely fastened to heavy 2-inch black iron pipe.

Will grind any kind of grain, either separate or mixed. Grinder consists of a double metal case and three burrs, two remaining sta¬ tionary while the third revolves in the center, producing a double grinding surface and consequently feeding double capacity. Can be adjusted so as to grind either coarse or fine, by simply turning one nut. Capacity is from 1 to 4 bushels per day, depending upon the velocity of the wind and the size of the wind¬ mill. The center burr is operated with the lever which projects from the bottom of the grinder and is moved in opposite directions by the wood rod which connects the grinder to the elbow which connects with the pump pole of the windmill. Our price is about one-half the price others ask for this style of grinder, while the grinder is equal to any which you can buy elsewhere. If you have a pumping windmill or intend to buy one and have no power windmill, you certainly ought to purchase one of these little grinders. Price is for the grinder as shown in the illustration, complete with the iron elbow to connect with the windmill pump rod, but does not include the wood connecting pole. Weight, 80 pounds.

BOUGHT TWO WINDMILLS, SAVED $25.00 ON EACH. London, Ohio. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—Last A pril I received from your house two windmills, towers and pumps, all complete. Everything was in good shape and went together without a hitch. They have both been doing good work ever since. They are good, well made, strong and neat windmills, and are first class in every particular and cost about $25.00 less per mill than they would have cost here, so that 1 saved about $50.00 in the deal with you. I recommend Sears, Roebuck & Co. to my neighbors, and have sent some trade to you. Last August I visited your house in Chicago and examined some of your goods, and I know you sell many things from 20% to 50% cheaper than retailers sell here. Truly yours, W. H. JONES. ILLUSTRATION No. 46 — 69 — SOMETHING ABOUT THE MANNER OF ERECTING WINDMILL OUTFITS In illustration No. 46 we show you how a windmill and tower should be put together, in what position it should be in relation to the anchor post holes, and, in fact, give you all the information which you will need, except such as will be obtained from our regular direction sheets. It is not a difficult matter to put up a steel wind¬ mill outfit. In fact, anyone who goes at the work intelligently and follows the directions which we furnish can put up the outfit without any trouble. All it requires is that you follow our instructions and that you use a little caution and good judgment. With every wind¬ mill and tower which we send out, we enclose in the box of fittings a direction sheet, which gives full instructions in relation to putting together and erecting the Improved Kenwood Steel Windmills and Angle Steel Towers; also instructions for erecting power windmills on wood masts. The illustration shows the pump platform, it however is not the usual practice to lay the platform until after the tower is erected, because the anchor posts can not be set exact until the tower is up, therefore the post holes should be open to allow for moving and ad¬ justing the posts to fit the tower. TO RAISE A WINDMILL AND TOWER There are many ways of raising a windmill and tower, and while our towers, being built in 10-foot sections, can be put together from the ground up and the windmill put in place after the tower is com¬ pleted, the usual practice is to put the windmill and tower together as shown in the illustration and raise it with ropes and pulley blocks. These ropes and blocks are usually at hand on nearly every farm or in the immediate neighborhood. The ropes needed are as follows: A main rope strong enough to support the tower and at least 1^ times the length of the tower; a pair of pulley blocks with beckets, and a tackle rope of proper strength. For small and light towers the pulley blocks may be with two sheaves in each block, but for large and heavy towers they should have three sheaves in each block. When the blocks have two sheaves, -70— SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 71 the tackle rope should be about 3f times the length of the tower; when they have three sheaves the tackle rope should be about 5 times the length of the tower. It is also necessary to have two strong guy ropes each about twice the length of the tower, and short ropes to fasten pulley block to pulling post, main rope to shear poles and for fastening shear poles together. A shear pole or gin pole at least one-half the length of the tower is also necessary. This shear pole is made of two poles or timbers of sufficient strength to support the tower, the two being bolted or tied together near the top and spread apart at the lower ends so as to form a shear. Place under the lower end of bottom corner posts a plank long enough to reach under both posts and strong enough to support the tower when it is raised. Be sure that this plank is level and firmly placed. Back of this plank toward the anchor posts, stand edgewise a heavy plank to prevent the tower from slipping off the flat plank. Drive stakes on both sides so as to hold both planks in position. Near the other two corner posts place level with the first plank, two short strong planks to support the other two corner posts when tower is raised. To prevent bottom corner posts and the side lower girts from buckling it is best to lash a timber to each of the bottom corner posts, next to the ground and to the inside corner of each side lower girt, the latter extending from corner post to corner post. These timbers for the smaller towers may be 2 inches by 4 inches, but for the large and heavy towers they should be at least 2 inches by 6 inches. Tie the main rope around the tower at the upper set of cross girts and fasten the rope so that it cannot slip. Lay the main rope along the center of the tower on the upper side. Lean the shear pole against the bottom girt which is on the upper side of the tower; pass the main rope over the top of the cross in the shear pole and tie it securely with a short rope. Tie the end of the main rope to one of the pulley blocks. Raise the shear pole until the lower ends are about opposite the center of the place where the tower is to stand, one leg on each side. Pull out the tackle rope until the distance from center to center of pulley blocks is at least 10 feet more than one-half the length of 72 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. the tower. Now plant a strong post directly in line with the center of the tower and far enough from the tower so that the tackle rope can be pulled out straight. Secure the pulley block to this post with a strong rope. Tie the guy ropes to the upper ends of the corner posts which are next the ground. At each side of the tower about two-thirds ot its length from the bottom and about one-half its length each way from the tower, plant strong posts around which to take a hitch with the guy ropes so that the tower may be held steady while being raised and kept from going too far over when it has reached an upright position. One man will be required at each of these guy ropes, but in case of very high or very heavy towers there should be two men at each rope. Tower may be raised with a wind¬ lass or horses may be employed. If a windlass is used it should be firmly staked down; in fact, everything should be strong and firm when a tower is being raised , thus preventing the possibility of an accident. Now raise the tower, bolt it to the anchor posts and shift it into position. It can be shifted easily by levers placed under the lower girts close up to the corner posts. With power mills be sure that the side of the tower is square with the direction in which you wish to run the line shafting. With pumping mills care should be taken that the pump rod of the mill is directly over the pump rod of the pump. Remember that the tower must stand plumb and the anchor posts must be firmly bedded. Fill the anchor post holes with stone or boulders and dirt, ramming it hard as the filling is being done. ABOUT THE CARE OF WINDMILLS Do not allow yourself to be misled by statements that windmills of any particular make will run and give good service without oil or attention. Our windmills require but little attention, but that at¬ tention they should have, as should any other windmill or machine of any kind, if long and satisfactory service is expected. Remember, that any machinery, no matter for what purpose used, nor how well made, will wear out quickly or is liable to be broken if it does not receive proper care and attention and bearings are allowed to run dry, or if bolts are allowed to become loose, the SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 73 wearing parts are very liable to give out quickly or some part of the machine is very liable to be broken. The boxes in which shafting revolves or runs, should be oiled with a good grade of running oil, such for instance as would be used on the bearings of a mower or reaper. Friction surfaces, such as the pivot post where the pitman head travels and the teeth of the gear wheels should always be kept well greased with a heavy grease such as is used on farm wagons. All nuts and bolts should be examined occasionally and if they are found loose they should be tightened and this examina¬ tion should be made first of all, within two or three weeks after the 4 windmill outfit has been erected, because nuts become loose much more easily at first than they do after they have become fixed in place. Most all breakage and all extraordinary wear results from neg¬ lect and unless proper attention is given to this advice, the pur¬ chaser certainly cannot expect to obtain long life and satisfactory service from a windmill or any other machine. With proper care our Improved Kenwood Windmill and Tower will last a life time. EASY TO PUT UP. Eldorado, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill.

Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I can truthfully say that I am the proud possessor of as fine a steel windmill as can be found anywhere. It arrived in fine shape, was put up for use the first week in March and have had ample time to test its merits and am perfectly pleased. The smooth, easy running gear runs with so little wind it is really a sur¬ prise, and to sum it up, all in all, “it can’t be beat.” As to the price, well, I made a clear profit of at least $12.00 after including freight and extra expenditure of getting it raised. At different times I have ordered articles from your firm and the prompt¬ ness and fairness with which you have treated me and the quality of articles as represented has won from me, as well as many thousand others, the esteem and regard with which your firm is held. Wishing you success in the future as in the past, I remain, Respectfully, F. A. ALINDER. USEFUL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO WINDMILLS It has been found by experience that it requires, on an average, a wind of a velocity of four to five miles per hour to drive a steel wind¬ mill, and that the windmill will run, on an average, eight hours per day. The average velocity of wind in the United States is sixteen miles per hour for eight hours per day. From this it is quite evident that a windmill is a profitable invest¬ ment, because when a good windmill is properly erected it becomes a faithful and reliable servant, upon which you can depend for an average of eight hours of steady work for every day in the year, requiring no feed, no fuel, and but very little oil and attention.

Long experience in the sale of tank heaters andcareful investigationintothe merits of different forms and styles of heaters have led us to adopt this one as our leader. It is a heater which we know will give perfect satisfaction to our custo¬ mers, one which we can and do guarantee fully, not only as to material and work¬ manship, but also as to simplicity, utility and durability. The heater is 26 inches high, made with No. 20 gauge galvanized steel sides, No. 18 gaug’e galvanized steel bottom and with a swinging cast iron top in which there is an air damper. The sides are double riveted in fireproof cement and the bottom is riveted and soldered. Every heater is warranted not to leak. The No. 1 heater is 16 inches in diameter, the No. 2 is 19 inches in diameter. Both are made as plain heaters and with either hinged grate or basket grate. They are also both made with an improved heat deflector which directs the heat against the sides of the heater, doubling its ef¬ ficiency and making it far more economical. This deflector can be adjusted as to height and can be used with either style grate, and either grate can be taken out, by removing the cover of the opening through which the fuel is passed and the ashes removed. Prices are for the heaters complete with shovel, poker, holding down rods and one joint of 5-inch pipe with spark arrester and hood. Shipped from factory in Northern Illinois. PLAIN TANK HEATERS.

Gentlemen : — In regard to windmills would say,I set the last one up Monday and they are all right, a fine windmill. They ask $50.00 for a windmill no better than they are. The parties they were for, are well pleased. Yours, in haste, M. Y. ABBOTT. Kenwood Tank Heater. A very popular heat¬ er made of heavy gal¬ vanized steel, except the top and grate which are cast iron. The top is securely fastened to the sides. It has an air damper and two covers which give easy access to both fire pot and air chamber. The grate is made to dump and is suitable for coal, wood or cobs. Ashes are removed with a long handled shovel through the air chamber. Above the grate there is a coil made of ^4-inch iron pipe, through which the water circulates. This pipe enters and leaves the heater on the air chamber side, so that its packing cannot burn out and make the tank leak. Water circu¬ lating through this pipe becomes heated and greatly increases the efficiency of the heater. Fire pot is 20 inches deep above grate and is double, having a steel lining. Heater occupies a floor space of 12x21 in¬ ches and is 24 inches high. Price is for heater complete with shovel, holding down rods and one joint of 5-inch pipe with damper, spark arrester and hood.

PROBABLY THERE IS NO OTHER LINE save our customers more money than we can on pumps. We fit all our pumps so anyone can set them in the well without any trouble. The only special tool required is a pipe tong. We sell a pipe tong for 66 cents, and everyone should have one. ■ p | id DOUBT write us, giving us this information: How deep is well? .... —_—-- Is force pump or lift pump wanted? How much water is wanted per day? When water is to be drawn from a distance or forced to a distance, send a rough drawing showing position of pump, position of well, giving all angles and measurements. We will name our price on the best outfit. Write for our special Pump Catalogue which shows a full line of shallow well, cistern, wood and chain pumps. HOW TO ORDER A PUMP. When a pump is ordered for a well more than 35-or 30 feet deep, the cylin¬ der should be placed within 10 feet of the bottom of well. It might be well to add here that the nearer a cylinder is placed to the water the better it will work, and where possible it is always advisable to place the cylinder directly in the water. When so ordered, it takes more pump rod and pump rod couplings, and requires ex¬ tra labor, for which we make an extra charge of 5 cents per foot for each foot the cylinder is put down. This charge is to be added to cost of pump and pipe complete. NOTICE—The cost of pipe is not included in above extra charge. We give below a sample order for pump and pipe complete to reach 74 feet from platform with cylinder put down 65 feet.

This pump is especially adapted for 2-inch tubular wells, also 114-inch pipe for open or drilled wells. By operating the wheel in the top of the gooseneck, the water may be discharged either through the spout or through the underground pipe at the bridge piece be¬ low. It differs from other three-way valve pumps in that the operating screw, which is of brass, is below, near the valve, and not at the gooseneck, consequently there is no liability to chill and freeze. The pipe on the right forms the air cham¬ ber. When this pump is used for tubular wells, it is made with a cap at the stuffing box, which, when unscrewed, leaves an opening large enough to pull the plunger up through without discon¬ necting the pipe or disturb¬ ing the pump in any way. This pump is always sent for 2-inch pipe, but may be bushed for smaller sizes, 114-inch discharge pipe. Gooseneck to fit 1-inch hose coupling. No. 24N5352 6-inchstroke.$7.40 No. 24N5353 10-inch stroke. 7.75 Suction pipe and rod coupling connect at B; discharge pipe connects at A. NOTICE—The above prices are for the pump stock only; cylinder and pipe are extra. See No. 24N5528 for cylinder, and No. 24N5710 for pipe. EXTRAS—To make complete outfit, select cylinder desired, and quantity of pipe wanted for suction, also number of feet of pipe wanted for discharge. State number of feet cylinder shall be put down, and in addition to cost of standard, cylinder and pipe, add 5 cents per foot for each foot the cylinder is put down. Acme Siphon Force Pump. The Acme Siphon Force Pump is to be used in con¬ nection with a windmill j for pumping water from | wells 18 to 20 feet deep. It is constructed so that all I working parts can be re-/j moved without disturbing^ the suction or discharge® pipes or disarranging the pump or connections in any way. It has a seam¬ less brass valve cap, brass plunger and piston rod, brass stuffing box and im- 5 proved brass poppet valve, h T he air chamber has a © large capacity and is fitted b with check valve at dis- & charge opening. The out- £ let can be set in different w directions to suit the loca¬ tion. In short it is a high grade pump in every respect. 92 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. Acme Rotary Power Force Pumps. This picture shows our Acme Rotary Power Pumps, without outside gearing, arranged with tight and loose pulleys. It is well adapted for a small fire pump, and will throw water from 125 to 150 feet horizontally. These pumps are constructed in the same perfect manner as those of a larger class, the only difference being in the absence of the outside gearing. The driving shaft is made of ample length to permit a balance wheel with handle to be placed on outside of the bearing, readily enabling it to be worked by hand in an emergency. The spout is screwed for hose on the outer end, and for wrought iron pipe where it connects to the pump. These pumps can be run up to 200 revolu¬ tions per minute without injury, although we recommend a lower rate of speed. Should not be placed over 15 to 20 feet distance from water. The second col¬ umn of figures gives the capacity per minute of 100 revolutions.

This cylinder may be placed in open wells and in drilled wells where the pipe or cas¬ ing is long enough to take the cyl¬ inder attachments. They are adap¬ ted to work in the deepest wells. NOTICE— Theplunger and lower valves may be removed through the connecting pipe, which is larger in diameter than the bore of the cylinder, thus making it conven- ient when repairs are necessary.

By means of the cylinder water is raised and unless the cylinder is well made no good results can be obtained. A good cylinder must be bored true and plunger must fit accurately. Valves must be simple and durable. The cost of repairing a cylinder is usually more than its first cost, so it pays to get the best. Our cylinders are the best that skilled workmen can produce arid our prices as low as equally well made goods can be sold for. Cylinders 12 inches long have 6-inch stroke and can be used in wells up to 35 feet deep. Cylinders 10 inches long have 6-inch stroke and can be used in wells up to 35 to 75 feet deep. Cylinders 14 inches long have 8-inch stroke and can be used in wells up to 150 feet deep. Cylinders 16 inches long have 10-inch stroke and can be used in wells up to 200 feet deep. Cylinders 2 inches in diameter are fitted for 1-inch pipe. Cylinders 3*4 inches in diameter are fitted for l*4-inch pipe. Cylinders 4 inches in diameter are fitted for 2-inch pipe.

The Float is attached to the end of the lever, and as the water rises in the trough it shuts the valve. This valve is positive in opening or clos¬ ing under high or low ’pressure. No chance of friction or of sticking in position. It will resist almost any pressure, as the pitman connecting fulcrum and valve, comes in a straight line with thrust of pressure when valve is closed. It has brass valve seat. By changing po¬ sition of lever it will either open or close when used either on bottom or side of tank, or when two levers are used it can be used to open or close. Base is large, so that no lock nut is needed inside of the tank. Size, inches. % 1 lx Price. 75c 80c 90c Size, inches. iy 2 2 2% Price .. $1.75 $3.65 $4.50 Copper Tank Float.

STOOD A STORM THAT WRECKED ALE OTHERS. Markleville, Ind. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill, Dear Sirs:—On June 25.1902, a tornado passed through this community, tearing down a number of buildings, destroying crops, timber, etc. Every steel windmill except mine was blown over. We are truly glad we bought one of your steel mills. From a customer, J. A. McDANIEL. WELL PLEASED—SAVED $20.00. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I received the windmill and tower I bought of you all right. I am well pleased with the outfit. I saved $20.00 by buying of you. My father will send you an order today for a mill and tower. Wishing you future success, I remain, Yours truly, S. T. WHEELER. A STANDING ADVERTISEMENT. Burns, Minn. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I have had my windmill up sometime, it works fine. As you probably know, it is a 10-foot mill, and it pumps when hardly a breeze can be felt. I am well pleased with it, and it is advertising your mills most every day. Yours truly, LEWIS JOHNSON. BETTER THAN $50.00 WINDMILLS. Germantown, Cal. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—Last spring we bought a windmill of you. We received it in good condition and are well satisfied with it. It is better than any $50.00 windmill around here, and we paid only $37.00 with freight. Yours truly, MRS. J. LOBSIEN. MAKING FRIENDS EVERY DAY. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I am very thankful for your catalogue and further wish to inform you that my windmill is giving perfect satisfaction in every way and is making friends every day and is equal if not better than the high priced mills selling in our town. Yours respectfully, JOHN A. RHEA. ONE WINDMILL SELLS ANOTHER. Beetown, Wis. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—I received your pumping windmill all right and in good shape. I am well satisfied with it. I find the windmill just as you represented. I got a better windmill than I expected to get for the money, and with your treatment I have no fault to find; everything is satisfactory. My windmill was the means of selling one to my neighbor, Mr. John Pringle, in town of Cassville. I can recommend your windmills as being first class. I remain, very truly yours, SAMUEL BIRCH. HAS NOT GIVEN A MINUTE’S TROUBLE. Kenedy, Texas. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—In reply to your letter of recent date I am glad to say the windmill arrived in good condition, and has been pumping water now 16 months, only when shut off, and has never given me a minute’s trouble; it has given entire satisfaction, and I do not only feel that I have saved money, I know it. _I remain, as ever, C. SCRUGGO. STRONGEST AND SIMPLEST EVER SEEN. Little Black, Wis. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: I bought one of your steel windmills last spring and it gives entire satisfaction. It is exactly as represented, and I can cheerfully recommend it to anyone wanting a windmill. I saved from $3.00 to $10.00 in buying from your house. The windmill is one of the strongest and simplest I have ever seen. It does not freeze down (as some of the other dealers said) in time of sleet, but works fine in every respect. _H. A. PROHL. NO TROUBLE TO PUT IT UP. Red Oak, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago. Ill. Dear Sirs:—One year ago last September I received one of your windmills in good shape. In about a month after my well was finished and I put up the windmill myself without any trouble, and I think I have as good a windmill as anyone. The brake I think on it is quite a saving to the windmill, it does not run any when out of gear. I notice several others do. I suppose I saved at least $10.00 on it by getting it of you. Yours truly, F. E. SHIRES. SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 101 NO TROUBLE TO ERECT, SAVED $20.00. Modesto, Ill. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill.

TURNER. KNOCKS OUT ITS COMPETITORS. Quincy, Ill. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The windmill arrived in good shape, it is up and running right along, it runs easy and does its pumping like a little man, it knocks out a certain mill that is made in Chicago, and that claims to be the best mill made. Yours, VALENTINE KIEM. BEST WINDMILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Palmyra, Nebr. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The windmill that I bought from you I can say is the best windmill in my neighborhood, and my neighbors all like it. My neighbors, Mr. Milekin and Mr. Wallon bought mills from your house because they like my mill, and think it is the best mill they ever saw. I have lost my big catalogue. Please send me another, as I think your house is a good place to buy from. MARX L. BOLZ. DOING GOOD WORK, AND SAVED $20.00. Cisne, Ill. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The windmill I bought of you is doing good work, and runs with less wind than most mills, and it has cost me about $20.00 less than I would have had to pay an agent. Will you please send me some circulars and prices of heating stoves ? Yours respectfully, FRED PHILLIPS. EASIEST RUNNING WINDMILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Stockton, Cal. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I received my windmill all right. I have it up and running and am very much pleased with it, and all who see it pump water say it seems to run the easiest of any windmill in sight, which are no few, and of all makes and kinds, and I saved $10.00. I believe the mill is all you claim for it. Respectfully yours, GEO. S. MARSHALL. RUNS WHEN OTHERS ARE IDLE. Canton, Neb. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I bought a 10-foot steel windmill from you in July 1899 which has given the best of satisfaction. It runs like a top, runs when my other mills are standing still. It regulates itself to the wind with such accuracy that it never stands still a minute when the wind is changing. In this country it is often the case the wind will blow from all directions in a few hours, I often have to go up on the tower of my other mills to turn the mill so the wind will strike the mill so as to make the mill turn. I am watering 400 head of cattle with your mill and it runs only about half of the time, It is over a well 110 feet deep and 114-inch pipe. No better mill in existence. It costs ten dollars less than any other 10-foot steel mill laid down here. Yours respectfully, EMMETT JOHNSON. SAVED $27.50. Weidmaner, Ontario, Can. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—I now write you because I think it is right to let you know how I got along with my windmill. Well I got it all right in good condition and I also got it erected all right without any trouble, got everything in the right place and it works slick. I think it is the nicest windmill that I ever saw and the best part of the deal is that I saved $27.50 over the best offer that I had from any of the agents in our locality and that is worth saving. Don’t think there will be any danger of me returning the mill after thirty days’ trial. I remain yours, GEORGE GRAHAM. SAVED ABOUT $20.00. Clear Lake, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The windmill I bought of you arrived in good shape, and we put it up without any trouble. It works to our entire satisfaction and cost me about $20.00 less than the dealer would charge me for one of the same class. Thanking you for past favors, I remain, Yours truly, WM. BRAGG. 102 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. PROOF AGAINST STORMS. Dixville, Minn. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—The windmill I received from you some time ago has satisfied me. I put it up myself: a good many windmills were blown down but mine stands all right. I am sorry that I did not order a 40-foot tower instead of a 30-foot. I think. I shall raise it ten feet higher by putting a 10-foot tower on the bottom. Yours truly, EDWARD HODORFF. STRONGEST MIL.I* MADE. Springfield, S. D. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I am more than pleased with the windmill, and would not trade for $10.00 to boot on any other windmill in my neighborhood, which local agents sell from $5.00 to $15.00 more. I think it is the strongest windmill made. Perfect in every way and works to a queen’s taste. Yours truly, EMIL KREBER. RUNS WHEN OTHER WINDMILLS DO NOT. Burns, Oregon. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—Last spring I received of your firm a 10-foot windmill; I can truly say it has given me full satisfaction, and is in all points just as represent d. I know it will run wnere other windmills do not. Fours truly, FRED. DL NSTED. HIS NEIGHBORS LIKE IT BETTER THAN THEIR OWN. Pender, Nebraska. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—The windmill I ordered from you some time ago I received all O. K. I had it put up next day after receiving it. The windmill gives me entire satisfac¬ tion and only cost me one-half as much as they ask for windmills here. My neighbors who helped me put up the windmill all like it better than their own, for which I send you many thanks. You shall hear from me again. _Yours truly, J. H. MULLIN. HAS TWO AND LIKES THEM. Decatur, Mich. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—The windmill came all O. K. and I am well pleased with it. I have two of the kind now. One has been in constant use for eight years and is in good condition yet. It pumps water for a large amount of stock. It has never failed to furnish all the water we needed and it takes so little wind. Respectfully yours, W. T. FOSDICK. RUNS BETTER THAN OTHER MILLS. Fisher, Ill. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—I like the windmill I bought of you some time ago. I am well pleased with the way it works and it is better built than one windmill I was offered at home at $20.00 more in price, so I am well pleased, and everyone that sees the windmill says it runs better than any they ever saw. The tank is all right, built stronger than most tanks that are sold here. Yours respectfully, I. D. NELSON. THEY ALL LIKE OUR MILLS. Wray, Colo. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—The windmill I purchased from you arrived indue time and we put it up. It runs fine. I am well pleased with it and can recommend it to anyone. I consider I saved $9.00 by buying this windmill. Please send me your catalogue, as I wish to order some goods in the near future. Respectfully yours, C. C. MCGINNIS. (Mr. McGinnis has since ordered windmills for Mr. J. J. Smith, Mr. T. E. Dear- mond and Mr. Mitchel Cruse, all of Wray, Colo.) LEADS THEM ALL. Knights Ferry, Calif. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—Having put the 12-foot pumping windmill on my tower, I now write you that the mill is the best mill in this county and I will venture to say in the state of California without a doubt. My mill is pumping water 180 feet and pulls a 3-inch pump on a 6-inch stroke and runs when all the other mills in the neighborhood are standing still. There are all kinds here and this mill leads them all. I will recom¬ mend it to anybody as the best mill for all purposes. Everybody that sees it says it is the best they ever saw. It pumped my two tanks of 22,000 gallons in less than three days in calm weather the first week of August, it was terrible hot, 112 in the shade, and very little wind. I remain. Yours truly, T. J. 0ASHMAN. SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, ILL. 103 MORE THAN PLEASED. Thomson, Ill. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen: The windmill came to hand on time all O. K. and I had it set up and it has run like a top ever since; have only had to pump by hand twice on still days, which is remarkable, as my home is at the foot of a high bluff where I had thought that a windmill would run only when the wind was from the east; therefore am more than pleased with it. Yours respectfully, E. H. DYSON. RUNS LIRE A TOP. Ticonic, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen: I am very much pleased with the windmill. It runs like a top. Anybody would not know that it was running or not unless they looked at it. It runs when the old one would not. I do not know what they cost here, but I think my cousin paid $28.00 for the one he has, and I know that I saved money by sending to you. I know that I can save about 25 per cent, or more. Yours truly, JNO. W. NEWTON. BETTER THAN REPRESENTED. New London, Conn. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs: I purchased an 8-foot windmill of you over a month ago, and find that it works like a charm; it does more than you agreed it would in your catalogue. I have, in the course of two months, sent three orders to your firm, amounting to over $250.00, and I find the firm to be very respectable in their dealings, even sending me back money I overpaid, for which I thank you very much. 1 also want to speak of the tank I purchased of you. I have showed same to a great many of my neighbors, also I have told them the price paid for same, and they are astonished at it. Stove also is very satisfactory. I find that the freight charges are but very little. I consider myself in luck to find such a respectable place to buy the things I purchased; quite different from another large firm in Chicago (I will not mention the name) which 1 had dealings with. Hoping you success in your business, I remain, Yours respectfully, LAWRENCE COIT. BEST TOWER HE EVER SAW. Cedar Lake, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen: The 8-foot galvanized windmill I bought of you May last, has given d satisfaction; all the trouble with it is to oil it sometimes. The 50-foot steel tower I bought of you is one of the best towers I ever saw. It is substantial and strong and has many advantages over other makes, and is simple and easy to put together. The saving to order of you was considerable. _Respectfully, OLE OLSON. OUR GOODS AS GOOD AS MONEY CAN BUY. Milfordton, Ohio. Sears Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The balance of my order came to hand today all right. Will say in regard to tower and wheel that I like the appearance of it, it is stronger looking than any one erected in this vicinity of any make or price, and will open the eyes of some that think Sears, Roebuck & Co. sell nothing but cheap goods. This order makes about $200.00 worth of goods that myself and family have ordered from your house and all orders have been filled very satisfactorily, thanks for same, Yours truly, W. L. BOTTENFIELD. ADVISES ALL TO BUY OUR MAKE. Jonesboro, Ark. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:—In regard to the windmill that I ordered from you some time ago, I will say it is the best windmill beyond a doubt that I ever saw. Its strength and durability cannot be equaled in America. It has withstood some very hard winds and it is as good as it was the day I bought it. I bought it for my mother and she is highly pleased with it. My advice to anybody in need of a windmill is to buy your make. It cannot be beat. Yours respectfully, J. W. RINEY. DON’T TAKE BUT LITTLE WIND. Friedheim, Mo. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs :—The windmill, feed cutter and grinder that I got from you are all right and give very good satisfaction. The windmill runs like a top, the least little breeze will make it run, it don’t take but a little wind 1 can do some work. In a good wind I think I get from 4 to 6 horsepower. I don’t think that there is a better windmill made for that price or any higher price. I am very well satisfied with my windmill outfit. Thanking you for your honesty and kindness. Yours very truly, JOHN L. GROSHEIDER. 104 SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., C 30 12 098549279 SAVES {$40.00 ON TWO OUTFITS. Chardon, Iowa. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill.

Lewis, Cass Co., Ia. Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—The steel mill and tower I bought of you about three years ago can¬ not be excelled by any.

DearSirs:—I have just finished erecting two 8-foot pumping windmills on 40-foot towers and find them far superior to anything in Blackford County, at anything near the price. Of all the windmills I have erected which is six different makes these are the simplest and easiest put together. 1 recommend them to all farmers who do not want to be robbed by the trusts and agents of windmill manufacturers. Yours respectfully, H. L. WILLIAMS.
