each day will give you plenty of water at high pressure every day in the year, and you won't need to 

 use an overhead or storage tank either. After years spent in studying the florists' and garden- 

 ers' water supply question, we developed a line of pumps and engines that are adaptable to 

 almost any conditions. We have combined the two in one unit 

 and make them in sizes that give a capacity of from 400 to 4000 

 gallons per hour. All Standard Machines are fully g^uar- 

 anteed and if not satisfactory, may be relumed at our expense, 

 and purchaee price will be refunded. 



Standard Pumping Engines 



may be used to pump directly into the pipe line and will give a 



steady, even stream suitable for spraying, irrigating or applying 



liquid fertilizers. They can also be used with any other kind of 



elevated tank or air pressure systems when preferred. Tell us the 



conditions to be met in your case and we'll tell you the beat system to overcome your diflB- 



culties. Write fully about aj^jjossible sources of supply and the work to be done. We will freely 



give our expert advice to exactly fit your case, and in addition will send you our catalogue telling 



lots more about SUodard Pumping Engiais. Let us hear from you today— now— while you're thinking about it.
