machine ever built," as it has been aptly

nection with his beautiful onyx fountain,
doing away with old methods of hand
ling the soda fountain business. One
thing observed by the knight of the
quill when examining the wonderful
piece of mechanism Monday was that
the pump supplied the fountain from a
jar of pure spring water, not from the
