Solving Hongkong's (Drinking) Water Problem
much needed service
in
Hong Kong is being offered by the Purity Drinking Water Company, which has recently commenced operations bere, in providing selentific and sanitary drinking water coolers stands to offices. homes, and school. The stands are very attractive and entirely modern in design, enhancing the appearance of any premises. A large number of these convenient stands are already in use by pro- gressive Arms here..
Though simple in construction, they are absolutely sanitary throughout, in that the water flowing from the demi-johns to the drinker's cup is not exposed to contamination of any kind. The receptacles into which the water first flows from the inver- ted demi-johns, are of glazed porcelain, and the pipes leading
from the porcelain receptacles

and tests, it has been proved that glazed porcelain re- ceptacles and block piping are the proper materials suitable, and ideal combination for this pur- pose, and is generally so accep- ted and used throughout the world.

Spécially insulated compart- ments are provided to hold 10-lb. blocks of ice, which will last all day. The ice rests on the piping coil, thereby producing a.. stant supply of cold water, which in view of the approaching hot its weather, will prove a boon to all the thirsty.
These stands are being, rented by the Purity Drinking Water Company at a very nominal monthly rate. In addition, this Company supplies the distilled water in special 5-gall demi- Jains in conjunction with the stands. Fon the convenience of their customers they also offer sanitary waxed-paper cups, and As a further service, they issue coupons for 10-lb. blocks of machine-made ice.
We believe the general public will be most gratided to learn of this long sought-for and much- reeded facility. as with the availability of the Purity Drink- Ing Water Company's innovation, the necessity will now be taken care of.
