Cheap roofings are dear at any

“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.

is a marvel; it is a wonderful demonstration 
of one of 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 find that 
the “‘Reeco” Electric Pump bears the same 
relation to the hand pump and “‘old oaken 
bucket,’’ in its convenience and the additional 
household comfort which it supplies.
