He is not able to supply the demand for Duro Pumps because present stocks are limited and shortage of materials curtails produc- tion. Besides, our factory facilities have been diverted to a great extent to war production. Your Duro Dealer may be able to supply a few Duro Pumps to those whose farm production can be increased with running water — but he will be mainly interested in servicing pumps now- in use to keep them in the best possible running condition. Remember that your Duro Pump brings water, under pressure, right into your kitchen, bathroom, laun- dry and barns. It saves many steps, much time and energy. Keep it in good condi- tion by having your Duro Dealer check it over and replace worn parts. He will gladly estimate the cost of putting it into first class condition. EMCO Quality Plumbing Fixtures. are still available to meet your requirements. MACHAN BROS. Phone 58, Wingham EMPIRE BRASS MFG.
