considerably reduced this year.
We will supply our dealers with as many new Pumps as materi-
als and manufacturing facilities will permit but if you already have
a Duro Pump, we suggest that you ask your Duro dealer to check
it over and replace worn parts, if required.
Make certain your pump is in first class running order to insure
a continuance of the satisfactory Duro pumping service to which
you have become accustomed.
If you haven't running water in your home, your Duro dealer
may be able to secure a Duro Pump for you, especially if it will
increase farm production and your efficiency.

gals. per hour and has 25 gal. galvanized tank.
