Water Well Drillers
Are Money Makers
Everybody uses water. A drilled
well is the only means of obtaining a
pure, cold and unfailing supply. Dug
wells and springs are simply cess pools
for collecting disease breeding surface
drainage. 85 per cent, of typhoid
fever is contracted from bad water.
t^A Keystone Drill will penetrate the
bed rock and tap the pure, unfailing
streams below. All surface water is
securely cased off. A drilled well
rarely goes dry in the most protracted
droutL. It is safe.
Tneie .5 more money in a Keystone
Drilling outfit than in a threshing ma
chine, and you work all tLr year round
instead of three monihs out of twelve.
Machine is the most complete on the
market and must not he confounded
with cheap and flimsy outfits. Drills
a 6-inch hole through any formation
to any desired depth at the rate of 50
feet a day in ordinary formations.
