Excerpt from Modern Plumbing Why continue to carry water for the house, for the stock or the garden, trudging through the rain and snow, when you can have running water any place you want it on the farm for such a small investment? Did you ever stop to think of the number of tons of water that are carried on the average farm in the course of a year where there is no Modern Water Supply System installed? Just stop a moment and figure the number of bucket fuls of water that you carry from the pump every day, and then figure what this amounts to in the way of hard labor in the course of a year. When this is reduced to actual figures, the result is really startling, and if those folks who continue to carry water day after day could realize how easy it is to eliminate all this unnecessary labor, we feel sure there would not be a farm home in the country without one of these Modern Water Supply Systems.
