The Successful Kerosene Engine 



Dealers wanting a. line of Kerosene Engines will do well to investigate 

 the Lauson Line. They start and operate on Kerosene a easily as a 

 regular gasoline engine and give full rated horse power. 

 They operate on Kerosene. Distillate. Motor Spirits and other cheap 

 oils, using less than one pint of fuel per horse power hour on one-half 

 to three-quarter load and full load. 



They operate with a clear, clean exhaust, regardless of load condi- 

 tions, the same as a gasoline engine a feature found only with the 

 Lauson and which shows that all the oil is vaporized and used during 

 each cycle, consequently no raw fuel is left in the cylinder to dilute 

 the lubricating oil. For this reason Lauson Kerosene Engines are 

 equally as long lived as a gasoline engine. 



Being of the throttling governor type they regulate as closely as any 

 ordinary steam engine and give a steady, smooth power. 

 Built in sizes from Z^H.P. to I 00 H.P.in the Portable. Semi-portable 

 or stationary types. Write for Special Bulletin and Dealers' prices.

Send for this Free "Farm Opportunity Book" about the Zone of Plenty States 



The Zone of Plenty embraces the six bountiful agricultural states, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, 



Idaho, Washington and Oregon. 



The agricultural development of these states is merely well begun. Nowhere else in the United States are the chances for the 

 success and the independence of the man of moderate means so favorable as in this developing zone. Here are lands suitable 

 for general farming, for diversified farming, for exclusive dairying; for stock growing, for market gardening, and for exclusive fruit 

 growing. Each of the states in the zone of plenty has to offer areas of land that are lower in price than those of the 

 older states and which at the same time in crops will yield more.
