REPUMTIQN& MONEY 
CAW BE MADE BY SELLING THE 
AMMAN MERGED PUMPS. 
The Bridgeport M’f’g Co., to keep up the present 
well-known reputation of this pump, and to hold it as the 
standard pump of the country, propose to meet the objec¬ 
tion to galvanizing by adopting a new feature,viz., to enamel 
pump and pipe. Tills finish offers a perfect resistance to 
all possible deleterious effects arising from the presence, of 
vegetable acids and metals, in combination, in drinking 
water. 
To increase their sales, and cover their heavy expenses 
entailed by this now process, they propose to sell territory 
by Town and County rights, and supply parties who buy 
these rights the goods at greatly reduced prices. As the 
Company intend to be the manufacturers solely, they have 
made an exclusive contract with the undersigned to sell all 
rights for the territory. Full particulars and all information 
givett by applying to
