vi GtCNhtOIe
r Nhe undersigned in offering to the citizens of Lan-
l. caster and its vicinity this valuable mode ofTais-
ing water from cisterns and wells, and feels confident
he can render satisfaction to all reasonable persons
wanting the article; having made some valuable i'm
proyenents in the Curb, Reel, Roller & il turning the
edge the buttons on the chain, which adds ~nateri.
ally to its durability and ease in raising the water;
they are applicable to ~cisterns and wells Of ordinary
depths. and when properly put up, are less liable 10
get out of repairthan any other method Of drawing
water. Some ofthe lBt :
Important Advantages
ofthe above principle, consist in keeping the WATER
PURE by agitation caused by the revolution of the
chain when in motion and the reaction of the water
in falling from the tube when the reel Is stopped, In
getting the water cold and pure when drawn, In dis
pensing with che valves, which are liable to get out
of repair in the ordinary pump, and in not freezing in
winter. which also prevents the tube from crakins;
they raise the water as easy ifnot easier than any
other mcdaniel principle. ~
The above article is WARRANTED to be ofgood
materials and we'll put up or they will be removed
and no pay or recompense asked for the trouble. ,
Thankful for the liberal patronage already bestow-
ed, he willlendeavor to render an equivalent to all
