Water for Your 

 Country Home 



11 hi live in the country tlicrc is a way for you 

 lo enjoy .1// the comforts and conveniences oi 

 .1 city water supply without a penny for water 



Ii is X 'accomplished by the KEWANEE SYSTEM. 



Wuli the KEWANEE SYSTEM you gel even 

 more than city service, because, in addition to ever) 

 benefit the latter affords, vu may have 



S 'it water in your bathroom and laundry. 



The KEWANEE SYSTEM is easily explained; 

 il consists simply of having a Kewanee Pneumatic 

 Tank set in your cellar or buried in the ground. 



The water from your own well or cistern is pumped 

 into the Kewanee Tank. 



From the tank the water is delivered under pres- 

 to the laundry lulis. kitchen sink, bathrooms, 

 outside hydrants or wherever wanted. 



When the tank is hall full of water the air which 

 originally filled the entire space will be compressed 

 into the upper half of it. 



It is this pressure exerted on the water which 

 delivers it to the plumbing fixtures and hydrants. 



An average pressure of a<i pounds may be main- 

 tained under ordinary conditions. This will carry 

 water to a height of 80 feet, thus affording splendid 

 fire protection. 



V'ou see that the method, while perfectly simple, 

 is based on a thoroughly scientific plat,. 



The Kewanee Water Supply Company was the first 

 lo iirfly this principle successfully in supplying water 

 to country houses, and alter ten years 0/ experience 

 the system has proved to he entirely practical and it 

 is rapidly growing in favor. 



Over 5.000 Kewanee Outfits now in use. 



The ol<! style elevated tanks air passing 



— Because they stand no show in competition with the modern 

 the KEWANEE" SYSTEM. 



The old-fashioned gravity system meant pumping water u/- 

 again. 



Now, to give the necessary pressure for fire protection 

 elevated tank must he locate, 1 on top of a tall tower. This 1- 

 and unsafe. 



The water freezes in winter, becomes warm and stagnant in summer, and repairs 

 are a big item of expense. 



The attic tank doesn't give sufficient pressure for fire protection. 



Its weight is apt to crack the plastering, and when it leaks (as it is pretty sure 

 to do) your house i- Hooded, Just one such expensive accident may cost you many 

 times the price of a Kewanee Outfit. 



— Which can not Hood the house, because the tank is resting on solid ground where 

 it can do no damage.

 home means 



— Plenty of pure, fresh water, — Cool water in the summer.

Paper Patterns for Heating Plants 



About 40 years ago a man named Butterick made a business of 

 cutting patterns for men's shins. His wife suggested that patterns 

 be made in similar manner for women's and children's clothes. 

 He did this, and the result is the present tissue-paper pattern used 

 in every home. By using these patterns any woman who can sew 

 can save half the cost and make clothes fully as attractive and 

 serviceable as she can get from a professional dressmaker.
