The proprietor, believe that, in placing
in market the Earle Steam Pump. they of.
fer one combining more sxcsllencies, and
better adapted to meet the wants of the
public, than any Steam Pump ever present.
ed. 1t has been the aim Of shs inventor ia
gain in this machine the greatest efieisn.
cy. coupled With tho simplest mechanism,
thereby doing away with complications here.
tofors introduced into Stsam Pumps, ID
their own detrimsnt and the vexation o,
their users. They have the verdict Of the
best mechanical talent that these results
have been achieved in this Pump beyond
oil others. The Earle Pump was exhibited
at the great Fairs held as New York by the
American Institute, and at Boston by the
Massachusetts, Charitable Association 70,
1865. Also at Baltimore, by the Maryland
Institute, just closed. At New York and
Baltimore it received the Gold Medal, and
at Boston the Silver Modal, these being the
highest premiums awarded. Tho machine
was most critically examined and severely
tested by the Committees was brought in
competition with every Steam Pump Of
prominence in the country, and pronounced
their superior in most unqualified terms.
The attention Of Railrssd men is particular
" asked to the special advantages this Pump
possesses for them, over oil others, as .

The whole cost ID less than that necesarry
to equip station for pumping by horss
power, means used in many places. The
completsness and efficiency Of this arrange
meut for the work has teen successfully
shown on Railroads now using them.
