GASOLINE ENGINES. 



A gasoline engine on the farm is no longer regarded as an 

 novation and a luxury. It is one of the necessities. The binder, 

 harrow and planter are used a few days each season, but the 

 gasoline engine is used all through the year. It is an ever- 

 ready friend and a most valuable one in these days when good farm help is so scarce. Gasoline engines have passed the ex- 

 perimental stage. We offer here a line of engines that is sound and practical. Our engines are simple and reliable. They are 

 the product of most successful factories and are the result of years of experience in the manufacture of gasoline engines and 

 a careful study of the requirements of the farmer, who must have a powerful, reliable, well-made engine that is free from 

 trappy devices. Don't buy an engine without getting our special catalogues and prices. 



WE HAVE THE BEST LINE OF FARM AND FACTORY ENGINES. 



ALAMO GASOLINE ENGINE. 



THE ONE THAT APPEALS TO PRACTICAL MEN. 



In buying an engine, as in buying a horse, you must look at points and pedigree. The Alamo Engine invites your closest 

 scrutiny. It is built in a large and thoroughly modern factory. The company is officered by men of standing in their com- 

 munity. The mechanical and engineering departments are under the supervision of men who are gas engine experts and have 

 a practical and scientific knowledge of the subject, and not a mere smattering of information along these lines. The mater- 

 ial used is in all cases that best adapted to the purpose. Each Alamo Engine is rigidly inspected and must respond to every 

 test before it is allowed to leave the factory. There is no element of chance. The engines must be right before they receive 

 the O. K. of our inspectors. 



If you are going to invest in a gasoline engine, is not this the kind of engine you want in exchange for your money?. 

 Then, too, an Alamo Engine is easy to operate. Its mechanism is readily mastered, and any bright boy or man can run one. 

 Some engines require a wizard or a mechanical expert to get any work out of them. An Alamo Engine is an "easy keeper." 



That is, it will do a great deal of work with a small amount 

 of fuel. There's a reason why. 



The carbureter used on Alamo Engines admits of no waste 

 of gasoline. Each charge is regulated by the air valve and 

 burned in its proper place in the combustion chamber, and is 

 not shot into the exhaust pipe and wasted. As the gasoline 

 is drawn from the spray cup on the suction stroke of the 

 engine, it passes through fine slots in the spray plug, and the 

 particles of gasoline are thus broken up or sprayed, and be- 

 come thoroughly mixed with air before being drawn into the 

 igniter chamber. By this method every mixture is a perfect 

 charge and will explode when fired in any temperature. So 

 you will observe that not only does our carbureter give a 

 mixture that can be regulated for atmospheric conditions, 

 but gives the most economical mixture — the'greatest amount 

 of air and the smallest amount of gasoline in combination, 

 that will insure a perfect charge. 



Just stick a pin in that last sentence. Air is cheaper than 

 gasoline, and air is just as essential as gasoline. It is the 

 proper combination of the two that does the work, and the 

 mixing device that will properly combine the greatest 

 amount of air with the least quantity of gasoline is the mixer 

 that will save you money every day you run your engine. 

 Incidentally, it is very satisfactory to be able to start your 

 Outfit, engine on a cold winter morning as easily as on a hot day in 

 the summer. You can do it with an "ALAMO." 



The Alamo Engines have beem examined and approved by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. Write for Special Catalogue.
