We desire to announce that we are
fully prepared to drill and complete or
a STRICTLY GUARANTEED BASIS
water wells for all purposes, ranging
from four inches to sixteen inches in
diameter, or larger if you wish, We
are prepared to complete wells with
screens of the following diameterS:
in wells with in screen.

All of our wells with the exception of
4 in wells will be completed with THE
LAYNE PATENT SHUTTER SCREENS
which are acknowledged by all who
have used them to be the greatest
screens ever built.
We have perfected and thoroughly
tried out "LAYNE PATENT TURBINE
PUMPS WITH ENCLOSED DRIVE
SHAFT AND FULLY PROTECTED
BEARINGS" which have economical
capacities from 800 gallons per minute
to 1000 gallons per minute. In fact, we
are really prepared to equip each and
every well which we may drill with a
Pump of suitable capacity to most
economically pump the well to its ca
pacity."
After having carefully noted the per-
Torrance of our over 400 complete
Layne Rice Irrigating Plants which we
have installed during the past eight
years in Louisiana Rice Belt, and with
the use of our Improved Screens and
Layne Patent Turbine Pumps with in
closed Drive Shaft and Protected Bear
ings. we have found it feasible to raise
our guarantees approximately 800 gal
Ions per minute in localities which have
been developed. This puts us in po-
sition to absolutely guarantee our
larger wells 10 produce as much as
$500 gallons of water per minute"-or
no pay. Furthermore, we stand ready
to guarantee for a peroid of two full
pumping seasons, ALL WELLS that we
drill during the coming season.
For the past two years we have been
working out series of improvements
in the Lyme Patent Pumps and have
been able to very greatly increase their
efficiency and capacities. After having
tried out these Pumps for a period of
over sixteen months. we have found
them to more than meet with our
highest expectations in every detail
and we are now ready to introduce
them in this territory.
We expect to have a few of these
Improved Layne Patent Turbine Pumps
with Enclosed Drive Shaft and Pro.
tected Bearings ready for sale and de-
livery in this locality within the next
few weeks.
Please remember that THE LAYNE
& BOWLER COMPANY has never
offered in any locality, an experiment
for sale. Each and every "LAYNE
PRODUCT" has been thoroughly tried
out at our own expense before ever be.
ing offered on the market.
These Improved Layne Patent Tur-
bine Pumps With Enclosed Drive Shaft
and Protected Bearings" have been in"
actual use for over sixteen months on
lifts ranging from Seventy.ive feet
to one hundred and fifty feet higher"
than the highest known lift in the
entire Louisiana Rice Belt.
If you have one of those Good Old
Wells" equipped with shallow, dug
pit or steel pit, which is not Layne
remember that we can replace the old
dug pit with steel pit and install in
same Layne Pump, aSd also that we
can install Layne Pump in your pres

amount of Wdtec formerly produced

marked extent sYOU TO BE THE
