- Editor's Notes
- "I find you have three large cisterns from which you supply tank in House, by a gasoline Engine and that you have an Ericson Engine over the [unclear] well that has been used to replenish cisterns in the day time and water lawns. The men on the place tell me our main supply is the cisterns. I cannot place my automatic buckets in the driven well. But can place a small compressor in place of the Gasoline Engine and a set of automatic buckets in each of the cisterns and operate the same as at Mr. Johnsons and keep your tank full without attention. By opening an air cock you can draw from one or all the cisterns at one time. My No. 4 medium pump will give you at your lift, 300 gallons per hour. The prices are as follows ### 1 Compressor + a set of Buckets 200.00 ##2 Extra " " " 100.00 ### Pipe " " " 10.00 ### Labor for saying pipe + setting pump 50.00 ### 360.00." Very respectfully, Amos B. Merill
