A WATER SUPPLY FOR COUNTRY AND SUBURBAN HOMES. 



(KEWANEE SYSTEM.) 



It is now possible to supply water under strong pressure to 

 any buildings out of reach of the city water mains, which 

 were previously isolated from a city water system. The man 

 living- in the country may have an ample supply for plumbing- 

 connections in the bath room, kitchen, laundry, lawn, garden, 

 stable — anywhere. Besides, the buildings will be protected 

 from loss by fire. This service is made possible by 



THE KEWANEE WATER SYSTEM. 



The main feature of the Kewanee System is the pneumatic 

 or air pressure tank. It may be placed in the cellar or buried 

 in the ground. Water from the well, cistern or spring or 

 other source of supply is pumped into this pneumatic tank. 

 The tank is air-tight; and as water is pumped into it, the air 

 is compressed. When it is two-thirds full, all the air will be 

 compressed into the upper one-third space. At that point, 

 there will be a pressure of 60 pounds under ordinary condi- 

 tions. A good average pressure is 40 pounds, which will 

 elevate water about 93 feet. 



THE KEWANEE PNEUMATIC TANK 



rests on solid ground, where it can do no damage. It is 

 thoroughly protected from all extremes in weather, offering 

 a frost-proof water system in the winter, and delivering the 

 water in a fresh, useable condition in the summer. It is 

 made of steel, so that it will last indefinitely. It is easily- 

 operated and is not complicated. 



KEWANEE OUTFITS are made in sizes to suit the smallest 

 cottage or the largest buildings or group of buildings. We 

 have the agency for this system and will gladly furnish 

 complete descriptive literature on request.

GOULD'S IMPROVED HYDRAULIC RAM 



The Hydraulic Ram is an automatic device for elevating water. Wherever a flow of 

 water with a gradual fall can be obtained, a portion of the water may be forced to a 

 considerable height. The slight expense for first outlay and maintenance considered, 

 renders them most desirable for supplying running water. 



GOULD'S IMPROVED RAMS are the result of over forty years experience in manufac- 

 ture and practical use All castings are strong and well proportioned. The air chambers 

 are larger than those of other makes, which, with our improved design of bronze impetus 

 valve and ca S e enables us to offer the most efficient and reliable Ram in the market.
