The Reason 



No Other Deep Well Pump 

 Equals an "American" 



It's not alone the nearly 42 years 

 we have been making these pumps, it's 

 not due to the fact that they are now in 

 use in nearly every country in the world 

 and not because we make more of them 

 than any other concern in America, but 

 for the reason that -they represent the 

 fulfillment of achievement of a lifetime's 

 experience of a large organization with a 

 constant effort to build the best deep well 

 pump that can be produced. 



The "American" pump is not an inven- 

 tion, it's an evolution a constant study 

 of a corps of engineers and experts in 

 pump design until it is developed to the 

 limit of human attainment. 



"American" water cylinders are made in 

 both single-acting and double-acting 

 styles, both made of brass construction, 

 the cast portions cast in our own brass 

 foundry and the entire cylinders built 

 under the direct supervision of our own 

 experts. 



Examine critically the construction of the double-acting cylinder in the 

 accompanying illustration. 



It's not double-acting in name alone, but delivers full plunger displace- 

 ment capacity on both the up-stroke and the down-stroke. 



FIG.380A 



There's a solid brass shell, a cast brass plunger and cast brass fittings 

 with hard leather cupped washers secured between brass bushings, fitted 

 in the most careful possible manner and so designed that all valves are 

 drawn from the well with the plunger. 



"American" Deep Well Pumps are best because they not only represent 

 greatest experience and largest output, but are made of best material and 

 by the most skilled workmen obtainable. 



Made in any size to the largest built, equipped with steam heads, pump- 

 jacks or direct geared to motor.
