Gentlemen: Yours of September 29 at hand. In reply will say the Leader Water System is ell the name implies. I am well satisfied with my plant at the present time. It is working fine.

I gladly recommend the System as put up by you as first-class. You can refer anyone to me if you care to. ' Most respectfully yours, (Signed) GEO. M. PARKER. WILL SOLVE YOUR WATER SUPPLY PROBLEM and place the many conveniences depending upon water under pressure in the home within -your reach. Don't let the pleasures of rural life be marred by poor water supply when at a reasonable cost you can install a LEADER SYS TEM and have all the water you desire at any point on your grounds or in any part of your house and -buildings. The LEADER SYSTEM furnishes an abun dance of water for domestic use or sprinkling, under a pressure that makes it invaluable in ease of fire. The LEADER SYSTEM is absolutely sanitary. The tank, which is made of pressed steel, and is capable of maintaining a pressure of 125 pounds, is airtight; impossible for anything to get into the water after it has been pumped into the tank. The tank may be placed in tho basement or underground, keeping the water cool in Summer and preventing freezing in Winter. We have on file many letters from LEADER owners, of which the three reproduced here are fair samples, and we can point out dozens of homes iu which the LEADER SYSTEM is furnishing dependable -A-ater sup "nlv uuder pressure.
