Horace Greely, to his farmer friends, one day, said "How needlessly man often labors, use the Enterprise Sprinkler, that is the proper way, and give up the watering pot, neighbors."

New York:

2 prints:
chromolithograph;
13 x 9 cm. (5 x 3.5 in.)
Advertising text printed on verso: Enterprise Lawn Sprinklers. Two sizes. no. 1,-- $3.50. No. 2,--$2.75. Our No. 1 Sprinkler has the following advantages: 1st. Each machine is furnished with a cord or rope, so that the Sprinkler may be easily moved, when running, without going near it. 2nd. The water passes through a strainer before it enters the small perforations, which, therefore are prevented from filling up. 3rd. It is so constructed that the weight of its revolving parts is removed by the pressure of the water, thus overcoming unnecessary wear. 4th. All parts of the machine are made sufficiently strong for ordinarily rough usage and are interchangeable. 5th. The machine is Tinned and Nickel Plated, and is of very handsome appearance. 7th. [sic] The Sprinklers are finished and boxed complete in our factory and require no skill to put them together. Our No. 2 Sprinkler, being a cheaper machine, has no strainer or ball, but is similar to the No. 1 in other respects.
