Can You Afford Any but a Titan
Kerosene Engine?
At present average prices for kerosene and gasoline,
Titan kerosene engines save' their? owners about 1.1c
per horse power per honrlover gasoline engines.
f Figure in this way. On an 8-horse engine the saving
is 8.8c an hour, 88c in a 10-hour day, $88 in 100 dajs
of work. Say that is all your engine does In a year.
Itlwould cost you $88 more than yon needjto pay. to
run an 8-horse gasoline, engine one year. That Is more
than a.third of the price of the engine. Can yon afford
to throw .way $88 a year? Can yon afford even to
think of buying a gasoline engine, when ou can'get a
Titan that runs on kerosene? Come In and let's talk this
over. We have some interesting figures to show you.
Prices right and terms easy. .
