Keep The Tank 



Throw Away The Tower 



THAT'S what you do when you install a 

 Kewanee System of Water Supply ! 



The Kewanee Pneumatic Tank is buried in the 

 ground or located in the cellar — there is no eleva- 

 ted or attic tank to freeze, over-flow, leak or col- 

 lapse—and the water is delivered by air pres- 

 sure evenly and abundantly to all fixtures. 

 Temperate in winter and cool in summer. 



Every country or suburban home can be 

 provided with all the sanitary conveniences 

 and comforts of the best city water system with 



The Kewanee System 

 of Water Supply 



which ten years of practical experience and 

 technical knowledge of trained experts has 

 made the most perfect, the most practical of 

 all water supply systems. 



Over nine thousand Kewanee Systems in successful operation supplying water for 

 country and suburban residences, clubs, farms, schools, public and private institutions, 

 villages, etc. The Kewanee System is not an imitation— is not a 

 substitute. It is the original water supply system involving the use 

 of air pressure instead of gravity pressure. 

 Avoid cheap imitations. Look for our trade 

 mark and name plates on tanks and pumping 

 machinery. Get the genuine and you will 

 take no chances — we guarantee that. 



Expert engineering service is free. 

 Every Kewanee System thoroughly guar- 

 anteed — a guarantee which protects you.
