This trade mark is the guarantee of dependable elės- trical equipment.
FOR EVERY PURPOSE
Removing the Earth's Treasures
In the mine, the passageway to the earth's treasures, man-made machinery is subjected to the severest strain. Lifting the heavy rock to the surface of the earth, bearing it away; ventilating and lighting the deep shafts, pumping them dry of water,is work that only the highest quality machinery can stand.
That is why Westinghouse Electric Machinery is being used in more and more mines. It gives such unfailing service, offers so many economies and lightens labor in so many ways.
that mining companies of all kinds are replacing their
old machinery with Westinghouse.
Whatever your electrical equipment, may be, if it bears the name Westinghouse you may be sure it
will never fail you.
