"Reeco" Electric Pump 



Goes With Your Electric Light 



(or without) 



We are now installing, just as fast as our manu- 

 facturing facilities can supply the demand, our 

 new electric pumps for private water-supply. 

 They raiif^'c in size from a capacity snthcient for 

 the rcfjnircnicnts of the largest apartment-house, 

 or stock-farm, to the minimum, whicli sutiices 

 for the needs of the country cottage. Ease and 

 economy of operation place these pumps in a 

 class by themselves. The absence of fire or fuel 

 does away with personal care, making their 

 action automatic, while their construction is 

 such, that they are opcratcil l)y very little power ; 

 you sim[ily attach a wire to the source of 

 supply for your electric light, and the press- 

 ing of a button starts and stops your electric 

 pump. Your pump may work just as long, and 



not a moment longer, than may be required, 

 hence the;e is no waste of power. These pumps 

 may be installed wherever a trolley line runs and, 

 of course, wherever there is a j^ublic or jirivate 

 electric lighting plant. lu point of sinqilicity. 

 convenience, and labor-saving qualities, the 

 ' 'Reeco' ' Electric Pump is a marvel ; it is a won- 

 derful demonstration of one cf the many and 

 varied applications of electricity to practical 

 every-day uses. Is the electric light more 

 convenient in your home than the lamp or 

 candle? You will tind that the ''Reeco" Elec- 

 tric Pump bears the same relation to the hand 

 pump and "old oaken bucket,'' in its conven- 

 ience and the additional household comfort 

 which it supplies. 



Be sure that the name "RCppft"" pi PPTRIP appears upou the pump 

 .vou purchase. This nCul/U "tLtl/lnll/ name protects you against 

 worthless imitfltioDS. When so situated that you canuot personally inspect the 

 pump before orderiuir, write to our nearest olhce (see list heIow> for the name 

 of a reputalile dealer in your locality, who will sell you only the greuuine pump.
