The modern home-maker no longer
struggles with the "old oaken
bucket" or heats water on the old
cooking stove. She lets a Crane
Automatic Water System relieve y^
Her oj this drudgery, and saves
her time and energy for finer and
more interesting things.
The "old oaken bucket"
is a relic of by-gone days
The "old oaken bucket" furnished the theme for a popular
song half a century ago. But while we sing its romantic
past, let us keep in mind also sympathy for our grandmothers—
stooped and weary long before their time from
lugging water from that same heavy "iron-bound, moss
covered bucket that hung in the well."
Fortunately for the newer generations thousands of farm
dwellers have learned that running hot and cold water,
piped from cistern or well and ready at the turn of a faucet,
will reduce the burdens and double the happiness of
the mothers of today—the grandmothers of tomorrow.
