Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Plumbing
Why continue to carry water for the house, for the stock or the garden, trudging through the rain and snow, when you can have running water any place you want it on the farm for such a small investment?
Did you ever stop to think of the number of tons of water that are carried on the average farm in the course of a year where there is no Modern Water Supply System installed? Just stop a moment and figure the number of bucket fuls of water that you carry from the pump every day, and then figure what this amounts to in the way of hard labor in the course of a year. When this is reduced to actual figures, the result is really startling, and if those folks who continue to carry water day after day could realize how easy it is to eliminate all this unnecessary labor, we feel sure there would not be a farm home in the country without one of these Modern Water Supply Systems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers back to a time when running water in rural homes was a luxury, not a given. It delves into the early 20th century world of Sears, Roebuck and Co., the iconic mail-order retailer that brought the conveniences of modern plumbing and heating systems to the American farm. The author guides readers through a fascinating array of products, from hand-powered pumps to wind-driven water systems, and from pipeless furnaces to steam-heated radiators. The extract reveals a rich tapestry of early-20th century American life, where innovation and ingenuity were key to overcoming the challenges of a world without modern infrastructure. While emphasizing the practical benefits of these systems, the author also highlights the transformative impact they could have on the lives of farm families, saving them countless hours of back-breaking labor and bringing the comforts of modern living to their homes.
