A SAVING YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
WHAT DOES IT MEAN to you to be told that Titan engines burn
kerosene?' Not much, does it? Yet because of that fact, you would
make the mistake of your life if you bought any other engine.
Gasoline and kerosene engines burn about ithe same amounts
of fuel. .Gasoline now costs, in most places, over 100 per cent, more
than kerosene.
A 6H. P. engine, gasoline or kerosene, burns 700 to 800 gallons
of fuel in 1,000 hours' work. At present average prices, 700 gallons
of gasoline would cost you about $118, while 800 gallons of kerosene
costs but $61 or thereabouts.
A Titan 6 H. P. engine, burning kerosene, would therefore save you
somewhere around $57 a year. Now do you realize what a startling
statement that i3? Titan engines' burn kerosene. See me before you1
buy any other engine. Prices right and terms to suit you.
