city on Thanksgiving day. The old
machine occupies space in our fire de-

originally purchased from the Nigilant
Fire Company OF Pittsburgh, and was

IL is one Of the most primitive fire
machines imaginable. 1t is about three
feet high and eight feet in length, the

four wheels about the size OF wheel OF

about two barrels Of water,
which, at fire, is led by
