WONDER PUMP
FACTORY SITE
ROSS INVENTION TO BE MADE
IN LOS ANGELES
New Industry Will Produce a Net In
come Of $5oo,ooo Annually, with
Big Profit to All Stock
holders

The Ross Oscillating Pump company,
Incorporated with $1,O00,000 capital
stock, will soon begin the manufacture
OF the wonder pump in Los Angeles,
introducing an industry that will at
once become one of the largest factory
enterprises on the Pacific coast.
The Ross invention is pump without
valve, simple in construction, with
all friction reduced to minimum. Inc
oscillating pump Is recognized by eX-
perts to have the highest efficiency Of
any pump in existence. The pump Is so
constructed that the amount OF huld
to be moved is governed by the speed
at which the pump is run. The amount
of fluid moved can be increased by in
creasing the speed of the pump. Ihls
pump will work against high or low
pressure in any position, and can be
operated with any kind or power
steam, gas, electricity or horse power.
1t is especially valuable for 1rrigatlng,
as it will handle a larger volume or
water with less power than any other
pump upon the market. Mining men
from all sections of the country are
sending in orders for these pumps. One
mining man wants forty of these pumps
as soon as they can be delivered. Water
companies are placing orders for pumps.
Pumps In Operation
One of these pumps has been in opera
tion for the Sunset Road Oil company
for the past fourteen months. At pres
ent 1t is pumping fifty barrels per hour
of eleven gravity oil to an elevation OF
sixty-six feet. This same company has
placed it's order for two more large
pumps to be delivered as soon as they
can be built. The Fulton Oil company
has also placed its order for two large
caliber pumps.
Among other advancements with this
invention the company is preparing to
build fire engine on automobile
wheels equipped with one of these large
duplex pumps. They claim they can
produce an engine which will throw
water with greater efficiency than any
now in use. These pumps will handle
water heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
This makes the Ross oscillating pump
an ideal machine for condensers on the
marine service, making it greatly in
demand by the United States navy. This
pump is in demand by packing house
men. 1t is just what the ice man needs.
In fact, the pump will fill the bill Wher-
ever there is liquid to be moved. and
II will do the work with accuracy eff
| ficiency and with less power than any
other pump in existence.
Value of Shares
Orders are coming in from all sections
| of the country and are being held
awaiting delivery. No doubt the local
factory will not be able to supply the
demand upon the Pacific coast, al
though its capacity has been doubled.
even before the completion of the ini-
tial capacity.
The company expects to have its fac
tory completed about April is. 1t is
figured that the loc,l factory will pro-
duoe a net income Of 100000 per an
mum, as this pump can be manufactured
for 20 per cent less than the average
pump upon the market and then net
the company 100 per cent profit. This
income, in addition to that derived from
factories which are to be built In Chi
cago Plttsburg and New York, and also
from the sale of patent rights In for
eign countries will In all probability
enable the company to declare large
dividends upon valuation OF $25 per
share.
The company was organized, incor-
porated and put upon a strong business
foundation within six weeks strictly up
