W. S. BLUNT'S 
“UNIYEESAL 
FORCE PUMPS.” 
Secured by letters patent, July 28th, 18;6. 
After six years endeavor to fur¬ 
nish the most reliable force pumps 
in tire market, the above pumps 
are respectfully offered, as the best 
results, in my judgment, of the 
public requirements. 
Tlieir adaptability, great 
power, careful finish in de¬ 
tail, and consequent economy, 
will commend them. In case of 
accident, any part can be easily re¬ 
placed, without sacrificing the 
whole pump. They can be imme¬ 
diately converted from right to 
left-hand pumps, by swiveling 
the air-chamber and handle to any 
required angle with the spout. 
They are changeable from lift to 
force pumps. Are for the house or for out-door wells of 
any depth, and having close tops, can not be tampered 
with.— Also, Ilium’s Sand Vacuum Chambers.—A 
complete protection agaiust sand or gritty water in dug 
or driven wells, pits, mines, and rivers. For 
hand or steam pumps, all sizes, from lfl-incli to 4-inch 
suction pipe.
