Yesterday, on Broad Street north of City
Hall, the Fire Department played 24 streams of
water higher than the tall surrounding buildings,
as a demonstration of the efficiency and depend
ability of Philadelphia's high pressure water
system.
GAS ENGINES at the Race Street
and Lehigh Avenue Pumping Stations
ARE RESPONSIBLE for the wonderful
high pressure which made this demon
stration possible. DEPENDABLE POWER
is the PRIME REQUISITE in this important
branch of the city's fire protection service.
Delay, or failure to respond instantly, might
easily cause a disastrous fire. Since 1904, when
Gas Engine Power was first used for this purpose,
there has NEVER BEEN AN INSTiNrS DE
LAY NEVER THE SLIGHTEST FAILURE of
this highly important type of GAS SERVICE.
The power which has been selected by the
city as the best for its purpose will be found the
best for the manufacturing requirements of Phila
delphia industries.
