"Hog Oiler"
(Malvern, Iowa)
Patented, Manufactured and Sold by E. J. Smith, Hastings, Iowa.
"Good Common Sense, and Smith's Hog Oilers
Go together to make the dollars.
You have the one, and need them both;
So buy the Oiler, as a wise man doth."
The valveless revolving Hog Oiler was invented, and patented, in 1913 by E. J. Smith, father of Charles Ellsworth “Elly” Smith,
from Malvern, Iowa.
The oilers were built in Red Oak, Iowa at the Kernhardt Foundry, and shipped to Hastings, Iowa by the C. B. & O. Railroad
