TORTURED!

Mortar-plaster model 11 mp
Crews don't always take care of mixers. That's why Gilson builds mixers to survive tortures of high turnpike speeds, ruts and boulders, "new" hired help. Heavy non-twist, electrically welded main frames keep all components rigidly aligned. And blade shafts run on precision ball bearings lubricated for life. Concrete mixer tilting models with 312 and 6 cu. ft. capacities. Non-tilting in 32, 6, 11, and 16 cu. ft. sizes. Mortar-plaster mixers in 3%, 5%, 7, 9, and 11 cu. ft. sizes. Write or phone for details. (414) 692-2441. Gilson Brothers Company, Mixer Division, Box 245, Fredonia, Wisconsin 53021.
Some mixers are tougher than others...
