Fresh, Clean, Running Water 

 For Every Purpose — Everywhere 



Your own private water supply system need be no more troublesome nor hardly more expense 

 to you than a public system. You will forget its very existence, if it is a "Reeco" Electric System. 



Fresh, sparkling water on tap whenever and wherever you want it. Turn the faucets — 

 let it run — as much as you need— for laundry, bath, lawn sprinkler and barn. The "Reeco" 

 Electric System is automatically operated — the supply automatically regulated — without so much 

 as a thought on your part. There's nothing to get out of order — nothing for you to worry 

 about except to give an occasional oiling. The 



"REECO" Electric Water System 



is a marvel of mechanical perfection and simplicity. Air pressure or elevated tanks may be used. 

 When the water is low the pump starts automatically and it stops automatically when the tank 

 becomes full. Economizes operating expense. Requires no attention. Power obtained from 

 any nearby trolley line or power plant. Backed by 70 years' 

 experience. "Reeco" Systems give a life-time's efficient and 

 satisfactory service. We take entire charge of installation, 

 when desired, assuming full responsibility. 



Important Price Reductions 



Owing to our greatly increased output of "Reeco" Elec- 

 tric and "Reeco" Hot Air Pumps, and the resulting econo- 

 mies in manufacture, we are able to announce material 

 reductions on all "Reeco" Pumps.

The Apotheosis of a Lump of Clay- 

 Potter's clay is made of materials brought from the 

 ends of the earth. With deft hands and cunning tools the 

 potter shapes this clay. Then it is baked in a fierce fire for 48 

 hours. Two, and generally three times it takes this bath of flame, 

 coming forth, at last, a beautiful, snow-white dish. Thus does the skill of 

 man and the refining fire exalt a clod of earth. 



For 40 years we have made fine china. On quality we have built the greatest 

 pottery on earth. Tell your dealer you want our guarantee— the trade-mark name 

 -Homer Laaghlin on the under side of each dish. "The China Book' 

 is a beautiful and interesting work on china making. Send for it.
