BEFORE PUMPING Is Started 



NOT AFTER 



YOU should investigate 



THE EMERSON STEAM PUMP 



which will handle water containing 50 per cent of SAND or 

 GRIT without the least damage to itself. 



There is a Reason for this! 



The Emerson Pump is constructed simply, all expensive, 

 troublesome and breakable parts being eliminated. It has no 

 stuffing boxes, packing glands, pistons, plungers or bearings, 

 and the moving parts never come in contact with the water 

 being pumped. It requires no shafting, belts, foundations or 



ENGINE, and only needs to be suspended in position, connected with the boiler by a 



small pipe, and it is ready for continuous runs of long duration. 



No exhaust pipe is used, the steam being twice utilized, FIRST to force the water 

 out, and THEN condensed to form a vacuum. 



The Emerson will not "run dry" when taking large quantities of air with the water 

 A NOTABLE FEATURE. 



By considering these EMERSON STRONG POINTS, it is evident that the usual 

 troubles that Engineers experience with pumps constructed along other lines, are 

 absolutely eliminated. 



To secure a pump which will pump a WELL without any liability of breaking down 

 or wearing out is what every 



Farmer or Planter 



demands for the protection of his crops. 

 And this is obtained by using 



The Emerson Steam Pump 



of which the cost for maintenance and installation is very low, on account of its 

 simplicity of construction and operation. 



We wish you to be satisfied that our claims are accurate. They are substantiated by 

 our numerous installations in all parts of the country, and by our catalogue, which 

 describes and illustrates everything you wish to know about a RELIABLE Pump.
