Water for Your Country Home 



YOU may have all the conveniences of a city water supply in your country 

 home. You may have an abundant supply of water delivered under strong 

 pressure to all the plumbing fixtures in the house, to the hydrants in the gar' 

 den, lawn, stables — anywhere. Besides, you may have ample fire protection 

 for your buildings. This is all accomplished by 



THE KEWANEE WATER SYSTEM 



The Kewanee System is easily explained. It consists simply of having an air-tight steel Ke c wanee Tank located 

 in the cellar, buried in the ground or placed in a special pump-house provided for its protection. Water 

 from your own well, cistern or other natural source is pumped into this tank. When the Kewanee Tank is 

 two-thirds full of water, all of the air which originally occupied the entire space is compressed into the upper 

 one-third. At this point there will be a pressure of sixty pounds exerted on the water. By installing the right 

 size of tank, you may be sure of an abundant supply, and there will be ample pressure to deliver the water to 

 the highest plumbing connection or most distant hydrant. 



The Kewanee Pneumatic Tank 



Kests on solid ground where it can do no damage. It is unexposed to the extremes in weather, insures a frost- 

 proof water system, and provides water of the right temperature during all seasons. It is made of steel and will 

 outlast a dozen overhead tanks. No attic tank to leak and flood the house. No elevated tank to freeze or coHapte. 

 No bursted or frozen pipes. 



The illustration above shows the country residence of the Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman. He writes: "We are 

 perfectly delighted ivith the Ke%>anee System of supplying our country house ix>iih Ivater, and I <wish 

 again to thank you for sending me so fine an outfit. '
