You'll he surprised when we tell you how low is the price of the complete plant. If you have your own engine it is even less. The cost of operation is moderate. The plant is easily in stalled. Ready for operation when taken out of the crate. The Alamo is the ideal farm light plant simplest, safest and Lest takes up but little space. Since the perfection of the tuDgsten lamp, which requires only one-third the electricity to produce the same light as the old carbon lamp, large storage batteries are not necessary. Thereby the cost of a light plant is so reduced that it is within the means of the average farmer. Lh The ideal plant for the .farm is the Alama Electric Farm rr.t Plant. We were the hirst to introduce the snutll liVlit nbmt into the country homes, and our present improved product is the result of eight years of successful manufacture. The plant is tbe simplest, safest and best, and it takes up but little space. Every farmer should have one, not only to light his building, but to furnish power for his wife's churning, sewing, etc. The price of the standard plant is 2-.'J.OO, so you see it is an attractive proportion for the farmer. If you do not already have an engine of 2 H. P. or more, we can furni.-h it for you for ? 40.00 additional.
