    Pumping Outfits for Little Money
q Fifty dollars will buy a complete AERMOTOR BACK-GEARED GASOLINE PUMPING ENGINE, set up in one compact
machine, ready toput down anywhere and go to work as soon as pipe connections are made. It can be running in less than an hour
after receiving. This engine is specially designed for heavy pumping. It is the only machine of the kind, and it is the only kind to use
for pumping water for large herds of stock or for irrigating purposes. These outfits are very simple. With the help of the illustrated
circulars, which we send, an inexperienced man can set them up and operate them without the assistance of an expert. We have them
in stock, so do not take our word, but come around and investigate with your own eyes.
