PULLMAN ENGINEERING co.
HANDLES SWANLITE PLANTS

After careful and exhaustive tests
conducted by Professor A. c. Abel,
Tor the past five years professor of
automotire engineering at the State
College of Washington, the Pullman
engineering company has accepted
the exclusive representation in this
county for Swanlite lighting and
power plants.
These tests We're conducted on be-
half of and Jointly with IL. j. Walter,
VINO was instructor of electrical igni-
Ion IN the aviation school during the
war, and both men, who are widely
Known throughout Washington, have
stated that this lighting plant is the
very best they have ever seen.
Swanlite, the pioneer in the field
OF individual lighting plants, is
manufactured in Minnesota, in the
heaft OF one of the richest agricul-
tural sections of the United States.
For over nine years these manufac-
tuners have been working on thou
sands OF farms, developing the indi-
Yldual lighting and power plant sole
ly from the farmers viewpoint.
Whenever laboratory tests indi-
Gated some change or addition
which seemed logical it was taken to
the farm and there, right on the
ground where it was to serve its prac-
teal purposes, was tried out by the
farmers themselves in furnishing
workouts before any notifications
or changes were adopted
The Pullman Engineering COM
pany, already we'll known for the ex-
cellence and high standard of it's
service, places implicit confidence in
Professor Abells tests and in accept
ing distribution for Swanlite light
ing and power plants, feels that it
mas added another outstanding feat
ure to a rapidly expanding business.
Service" is its keynote, and with the
added fact of the long residence of
the owners in Pullman, indicating
that they are here to stay, the addi-
tion of Swanlite lighting plants will
undoubtedly rebound to their bust
ness acumen and foresight.
Swanlite lighting plants, while di-
rect connected lighting plants, serve
a triple purpose. Realizing that ad-
ditions to farm mechanical equip
ment are frequent the Swanlite plant
Is constructed to meet not alone the
present requirements of the farmer,
but with its greater size and great
er capacity serves to meet also the
growing needs of farmers for many
years to come.
"Swanlite is years ahead of its
time, said Professor Abel The
four horsepower engine with out
board pulley and the one and one
half horsepower generator afford to
owners sufficient power to provide
plenty of clear white light for house
and outbuildings and also auxiliary
power for the operation of deep or
shallow well water systems, hot and
cold water lines, sewerage systems,
electric or vacuum mixers, the many
line shaft jobs found on the modern
farm. and all the electric utilities of
the day"
In discussion of Swanlite prospects
Mr.. Walter stated that Swanlite
plants were conceded to be the prac-
teal unit plants of the century.
Built from the farm, in, rather than
from the laboratory, out" said Mr..
Walter" and with the added value
of set of batteries guaranteed for
the unusually long period of four
years, we anticipate splendid results
in our sales efforts during the year
to come.
When manufacturer guarantees
his product, continued Mr.. Walter,
The is merely expressing in writing
his own faith and confidence in his
product. We have carefully investi-
gated the manufacturers of both the
Swanlite engine and the Philadelphia
storage battery, and can say with all
candor that we ourselves have the
same measure of confidence in the
Swanlite plant as the manufacturers
have expressed in their guarantee.
Our own reputation for rendering
only the highest type of service is
we'll established and it is our inten.
