I New Departure in the Water Business of Interest to lintler People. sinic the Water company has changed ownership we have expended a large amount of money in inproving the plant and the water supply, as the present patrons know,that there cannot be bet ter water in the state than the water fur nished by the company now. Now the Butler Water company have decided to get more business if it is to be had in the city, and in order to do that have decided to meet the people who wish to become patrons more than half way. Heretofore it lias been a serious thought that the people couldn't afford to put the water in (not the expense of the water), but the cost of connecting, laying pipes, etc. If we can get from fifty (50) to one hundred {100) rew con sumers we will -make you this special offer. We will tap the main, insert the corp oration cock, furnish and lay the pipe to the side alk, furnish the side walk cock • and shut off box, and in fact furnish all labor and fittings to the curb line, where a main passes the house, and sell the same to you for the small sum of fifty (50) cents. It matters not whether you are on a paved street or otherwise the expense is no more to you. Where the expense would ordinarily be from $lO to S3O we make it to you now for 50 cents, provid ing you are willing to sign a contract for two years. Don't be afraid to ask questions, the Water company's employees will answer them all to the"best of their ability. BUTUSR WATER COMPANY, W. F. Wright, Supt.
