course many different pumps are in the
market, among which we may mention the

which Mr. II. Freeman, ol this place. is the

the best Gas Pump in use. The principal
advantages to be derived from its use ap.
pears to be that it is not excelled for
durability, simplicity aud workmanship,
aud creates a greater vacuum with 30 to 40
per cent. less power than any now ir use.
This pump has steel spring rings 30 con-
structed as to create very slight friction,
