The ABC of Gasoline Engines
Alamos 'gasoline eiigines belong at the head of the list in engines as much as A be
longs at the head of the alphabet.
Because wherever they have been dcirionstraled they have token the first prize ab
solutely on their merits.
Can you afford to use any but the bent grade of gasoline engir.es for irrigation or
other purposes?
u
H
The Alamo engine has been selected by the State University at Kugene, and also
by the Oregon Africultural College at Corvallis, as the best engine adapted to demon -Ktrate'the
latest and most approved principles of gas engine practice to the students.
Our3-h.p. Alamo Victor vertical electric lighting outfit was selected by the Southern
Pacific Company to light the demonstration train which toured the Willamette val
ley last fall under the direction of the Agricultural College, and these people were so
well pleased with the Alamo engine that it was again selected by them to light the
demonstration train which recently toured Southern Oregon. The Westinghouse
Electric Company and the Northern Electric Company, which as you know are the
two largest manufacturers of electrical goods in America, have both adopted the
Alamo gasoline engine, and now recommend them and illustrate them in their bulle
tins. A complete stock of engines, together with a lull fine of extra parts, is always
available at Portland. If you will inform us concerning the exact use for which you
wish the engine, we will be pleaded to furnish you gratis what information-we can
concerning the necessary horse power. We have had a great deal of experience in
making installations of all sizes, nnd no doubt can be of some assistance to yon.

deavoring to urge upon our citizens
the homily and prosperity of allow
ing eastern capital to install and i
control our proposed water system. '
It is understood however, that he '
fail to convince the council of the '
feasibility of such a plan, and Cen- '

of its own water bonds and install
its own water system.
