Cashier No. 5 Get Your Money's Worth The service an engine will give you depends not only on its design and quality of its material and workman- ship but upon the size of its bearings, the length of its piston, the thickness of its thinnest casting, the size of its balance wheels and the strength of its'various parts. Upon the size and strength of these parts depend the service you will get from the engine and it also determines the total weight of the engine. In deter mining the value of two engines compare their weight the same as you do when youtsell your hogs, pork is worth so much per pound. Come in and inspect my sample Stickney Engine and show me one place where any weight can be cut out without injuring the service the engine will give and then I will show you it has no surplus weight, no big useless unnecessary base—and then figure the price per pound, I will give your money's worth.
