SEVENTH REASON 



4 Just as the bean Is to th< human body, so is the spark plug to the gas engine. 4 The most expensive and elaborate gas engine is but an Inert, 

 useless mass of metal if the igniter refuses to supply the necessary spark. 4 The OTTO igniter is our own patented device of the make and 

 break type, unique in design and dependable in operation. 4 We say dependable, and we mean all the word implies. 4 OTTO users are 

 dead sure of a constant, uniform spark. So s re are they that we have letters from users who state that they start their OTTO in the morn- 

 ing and leave it for the entire day, knowing It will be running just as steadily when they return to stop it in the evening. The only limit 

 to the time of continuou* running with the OTTO is the capacity of the oil or grease cups for lubrication. In cases like the above suffi- 

 cient lubricant is of course provided to last the entire day. 4 And this freedom from ignition troubles, to say nothing of the at- 

 tendant peace of mind. Is only one of the great permanent extra values received from the OTTO. The time and fuel saved by this 

 patented igniter soon pay for the small difference in first cost. Combine with this perfect ignition the perfect fuel supply afford- 

 ed by the OTTO Suction Gas Producer and you complete the cheapest and yet most efficient power plant obtainable outside 

 of me water wheel. 4 There are over 5,000 of these Suction Gas Producers in successful operation today. 4 VIII you let
