A Model Plant is.not complete with

with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
Centrifugals, Elevators. Plows. Rail-
ways and Hoists; also furnish light
and power for radius of from 10 to 26

Electric power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine tc
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available IL
