three years. This is especially noticeable in the Modesto 

 and Turlock Irrigation Districts, where settlement and 

 development have made the most rapid progress. The 

 county has four high - schools, one being at Turlock, 

 in the Turlock Irrigation District, one at Modesto, in 

 the Modesto Irrigation District, one at Oakdale, and 

 one at Newman; and grammar schools at convenient 

 places throughout the county. In the Modesto and 

 Turlock Districts there are twenty-three grammar 

 schools properly and conveniently located. 



Modesto, the county seat of the county, is a modern 

 city, with municipal waterworks, sewer system, electric 

 light and power, with large and well-ordered hotels, 

 six banks, two daily and weekly newspapers. It has 

 4,000 population, and is keeping pace with the improve- 

 ment and development of the country adjacent thereto 

 and surrounding it. The streets are wide and made 

 of asphalt. The business part of the city is built of 

 brick, many of the buildings being ornate as well as 

 substantial. It lies near the banks of the Tuolumne 

 Eiver, which is spanned at this point by a model county 

 bridge of steel and cement. The assessed valuation of 

 the real estate and personal property in Modesto is 

 over $1,850,000. 



Turlock is near the geographical center of the 

 Turlock Irrigation District, and at the present time is 

 rapidly growing.

Also Manufacturers Single Cylinder, Double Cylinder and Four Cylinder Gaso- 

 line or Kerosene Engines 



Briefly s tated the advantages of our Double Cylinder Engines are as follows: 



First They are more economical in the use of fuel. On light loads one cylinder can be used, reserving 

 both cylinders for heavy loads. 



Second Although weighing about one-half the weight of a single cylinder engine of same rated capacity, 

 vibrations are practically overcome, demonstrating conclusively that in proportion to strain the double cylinder 

 "Master Workman" is the stronger engine. 



Third The heavier weight of a single cylinder engine is due to the fact that it must have heavier fly- 

 wheels in the horizontal type, and a longer, higher and consequently much heavier base than is required for 

 the "Master Workman." The heavier the fly-wheels the greater the strain on the crankshaft, so you will realize 

 that neither heavier fly-wheels or a heavier base contribute one iota to the strength of a single cylinder engine. 



Fourth When vibrations are overcome, as in the "Master Workman," the lighter the engine and the less 

 cumbersome it is, the greater its sphere of usefulness and the cheaper and more convenient it can be handled. 



Fifth Lubrication in our engine is absolutely perfect. There is no forced lubrication, lubrication being 

 by gravity. Certainty of lubrication is of vital importance in the steady running and operation of a gasoline 

 engine. 



Sixth All mechanism is in full view, which will enable you to thoroughly understand the operation of a 

 gasoline engine. The worst kind of complexity is concealed mechanism.
