WELL
AUGER!
—o-
WILLIAM BROOKS,
General Agent for Georgia,
Crawford, Oglethorpe County, Ga.
o
The. Auger is operated by either hand or
horse power, three men being required when
the former is used. We can Lore to anr
depth, and as large a thirty-six inches in di
ameter. As soon as the well is bored we tube
it from top to bottom with good inch lumber,
ripped in strips three inches wine, and of tho
proper beveled edges to suit the inside of the
well. The tubing nearest the surface will
last fifteen or twenty years, and then vou ean
pull it out and put iu anew joint. That be
low the water will last for ages. The wood
causes the water to taste of it only a week or
so. Either pumps or buckets can be used in
our wells. The bucket fills from a valve in
the bottom. At the bottom of each well is
kept a galvanized iron bucket, left there for
the purpose of cleaning out the well, which
ean be drawn out at any time, and your well
thoroughly cleansed of the most minute parti
cle of trash or garbage that should chance to
fall into it. The old-fashioned dug wells cost
from $5 to $lO per year to be kept clean—our
bored wells costs nothing. We bore through
quicksand easily, and guarantee it to never
after annoy you.
ONE DOLLAR PER FOOT
is my price for boring, and tubing with wood,
and we can generally

Wc also supply buckets and well-house at a

CERTIFICATE.
I now use a well bored by Mr.Wm. Brooks,
and cheerfully testify that it surpasses, in
every point of excellence, my greatest expec
tations. I was surprised at the large amount
of water furnished. It gives full satisfaction
in ever}' way. It eo6t me fully sls less (hav

would have done. H. C. ZUBER,

when they once try them will use no other.
