DIES FROM INJURIES lotir mom ivithbath is a tribute to the pump manufacturers A room with bath, hundreds of feet above the street level, is possible only because of the men who make pomps. Great throbbing machines at the city water works, busy auxiliary pumps in the basement of buildings these are a most important factor in civilized life as it is carried on today. In the larger cities, several hundred million gallons of water are pumped through the mains every day. In all 1 industry and transportation, pumps play a necessary and vital part. The men who make pumps have spent years of study and research to develop equipment that will meet the needs of the world.

The next time you have a "room with bath," think of the progress men have made since me days of the pitcher and washbowl. bmsd Cor 6s '40113 107 106 107)4 106 NEW YORK DAIRY viw YORK. Bent. 4 (A.P.).
