Perfect Water Service 

 Everywhere 



No matter how far you may be from a natural or 

 artificial water supply — no matter where you are 

 located, or whether the climate is hot or cold, you 

 will find the Kewanee System efficient and reliable 

 in every way. 



The tank, made of heavy steel plates, is generally 

 placed in the basement or buried in the ground. It does not disfigure the landscape, 

 cannot fall or blow over, is protected from extremes of heat and cold, and gives you 

 water of uniform temperature the year around. 



The Kewanee System of Water Supply 



is a complete water service, as practical for the extensive villa as for the modest cottage. It also makes possible 

 a perfect water service where the city supply is impure or unstable. The Kewanee System has revolutionized 

 the possibilities of private water supply. 



Our 64-page Illustrated Catalogue No. 36 shows the Kewanee System of Water Supply applied to farms, country 

 and city residences, public buildings, hospitals, country clubs, apartment houses, sky scrapers, manufacturing 

 plants, villages and small cities. If you will tell us your water supply problems, we will send it to you free of cost.
