SOBER PARAGON 



Mammoth, Sweet Chestnut 



A single crop, Fall of iwq, brouRht S.W.OOO

 chard was only 8 years old. 

 The only large siveef ch estnutin the world.

 SOO burrs in 1 year. The nuts average 1 to 2 

 inches in diameter — and 3 to 5 nuts in a hurr. 



United States Pomologist, G. B. Brackett, says 

 "The Sober Paragon comes the nearest in quality 

 to the native chestnut of any of the cultivated 

 varieties that I have examined. It is of large 

 size, fine appearance and excellent flavor."

How The Kewanee 

 Differs from Others 



If you want a water supply 

 system for your country home, or 

 for any building or institution, 

 learn what the Kewanee System 

 means to you. 



No matter how little you may 

 know about water supply equip- 

 ment, you can have just as good 

 a plant as if you were an expert 



THE NAM& 

 ON THE 

 PUMP 



In order to protect yourself from the substitution 

 of inferior equipment for the KewEinee System, 

 look for the trade-mark KEWANEE on the tank and 

 the nanne KEWANEE on the pumping machinery. 



A Kewanee System consists of a Kewanee Tank 

 and a Kewanee Pumping Unit, installed according to 

 the prints and instructions furnished by the Kewanee 

 Water Supply Co. 



The combination of a tank ^vith a pump to work 

 on a similar principle is not a Kewanee System. 



This information is for your protection. 



Kewanee Systems are designe(i 

 by men who know how— experience(i 

 practical engineers who have solved 

 thousands of water supply problems. 

 Avoid plants designed by inexperi- 

 enced people who want to experi- 

 ment on you. 



Kewanee Systems are made by 

 us. They are not the assembled pro- 

 duct of a half dozen different manu- 

 facturers. We furnish the complete 

 system and we are responsible for 

 all — every part of it. 



There is a Kewanee System for 

 every kind of building or institution. 

 We do not try to make one or two 

 styles fit all places. Every problem 

 is solved separately — every plant 



and experienced hydraulic engineer. 



guaranteed to work successfully 

 under the conditions for which it is 

 recommended. 



Kewanee tanks — the high stan- 

 dard for quality in^ pneumatic tanks. 

 Kewanee Pumping Machinery — the 

 only complete line of pumping ma- 

 chinery built for the exacting require- 

 ments of air pressure service. Inferior 

 tanks and pumping outfits are made 

 to sell, but they must necessarily 

 provide inferior service and be more 

 costly in the long run. 



Kewanee Systems are easy to in- 

 stall and easy to operate. AH the 

 expert part of the work is done at 

 our end — not yours. Kewanee 

 Systems are inexperience-proof. 



Our 64-page illustrated catalog tells the Kewanee story. Let as show \)ou what 

 we have done for others and what we can do for you. Askfor catalog No. 16
