FOR EVERY PURPOSE

Doing the World's Work Though the source of power may be miles from the work to be done, the electric motor makes possible its direct application to the task. Westinghouse Motors do this economically and well, for they. are designed to fit exactly their particular task and are built to meet the highest standards of quality and service. (

This Westinghouse Motors are to be found in thousands of diff applications.

They operate power machines in the workshop:

They handle the heaviest freight traffic in the worlds

They drive the most powerful passenger locomotives

They haul coal and ore from the earth's interior;

They drive the propellers of merchant vessels and warships

They turn the wheels of thousands of street cars;

They operate lathes, presses, shears, tools, printing presses, elevators, and thousands of other machines doing their work so well that progressive concerns have cast aside millions of dollars”, worth of former equipment

in order to install them, y

They grind coffee for the grocer, chop meat for the butcher, sweep, wash, iron and sew. for the housewife."

When the motor bears the trade mark Westinghouse Electric there is no question of its giving satisfactory service.
