 Otto Gas Engine Works, Phlla.. Pa. 



Three years ago when we were forced to enlarge 

 the po,ver plant In our mills, we Installed, largely 

 as an experiment, one of the Otto Gas Engine 

 Works' 60 Horse-Power engines with a self-pro- 

 ducing gas plant. From the time that the engine 

 was Installed until January 1st, 1907, when our 

 mill burned, we were caused absolutely no trouble 

 by our power plant. In fact, so well pleased 

 were we that when In lebulldlng this year the 

 question of power came up, we unhesitatingly 

 placed an order for your 90 Horse-Power Gas 

 Producer engine to accommodate our larger mill 



This engine has given us even less trouble and 

 better service than the flrst. We now ha\e a per- 

 fectly steady power and at a very slight cost for 

 fuel. Very truly yours,
