I CHEAPER CONCRETE PIPE
IS NEVER CHEAPER
I N nearly all of our advertising lately yotf may have noticed
thaVwe have bedn emphaaiaing the cftteAtion of i^UAUty,. . Cer-
tainly no subject is of greater importance when the greve
owner decides to install a concrete pipe- irrigation system.
Cheap pipe may cost untold thousands of dollars in future re-
pairs and replacements while high quality pipe will continue
J to render satisfactory service from generation to generation.
"The question then ts^to-determine which, pipe is of the hiKh-
qnoHly ^~~gTTrl-that Ls a question aaiayman should attempt
fo decide for himself.
