Made by A. Curtis
What they szs Represented toilet
We, the undersigned, who have had
wells made by Mr.. Curtis are satisfied
they are the best wells now in use, if
bricked with good brick and mortar.
They are everlasting wells, cutting off
all seap water, and if we wanted a per-
,nanent well would prefer this to any
other, and consider they would be
cheaper than reeurbing an old well. We
have been using said. wells from one to
six years and are perfectly satisfied with
them.
