Mr. A. K. TAYLOR writes: 
“In July, 1912,1 had the Milwaukee Air Power Pump Co. change the water 
storage tank at my country place at Nagawicka Lake, Waukesha County, Wis¬ 
consin, to an air reservoir, and put a large pump in an intake well near the lake. 
“Today five pumps, operating automatically from that single air reservoir— 
as I use an electric motor—supply lake water to the entire grounds and green¬ 
houses and lake, rain water, and spring water ‘direct from the well’ to my own, 
my son’s, and the gardener’s houses. 
‘The system has met every expectation. In my opinion it is a great improve¬ 
ment over the storage tank system—and one of its strongest features is that it 
maybe added to from time to time.” Signed: A. K. Taylor
