F7LTERING AND SELF-MEASURIl
GASOLINE TANK.

We have installed a Bow
ser lf-Measuring GasO-
me Tank.
This outfit not only auto
matically measures gasoline
but filters it as well, all
IN one operation. Attached
to it is a hose for filling any
receptacle at a distance from
the machine, such as that
generally required by auto
mobiles. If you want your
tank filled quickly, and the
gasoline filtered and meas
ured as it goes in, just drive
your car alongside OF our
warehouse and see how quick
ly we can let you get started
on your way. Not a drop
wasted. Time is money.
