"[page 19 The " Imperial " is our leading pumping windmill. It has been on the market for a number of years, and has proven itself to be able to accomplish with ease what most mills have found an impossibility. We ask your careful consideration of the extracts contained in the succeeding pages of this catalogue, taken from the official report of the Royal Agricultural Society's trial of wind engines, which will give you a good idea why the "Imperial" has proven to be the "best pumping Windmill in the world."

The 'Imperial' is a production of our own, and is a credit to Canadian brains and Canadian enterprise. Nearly all products of our opposition are copies from American manufacture, while ours are our own inventions. That our efforts in giving the world up-to-date goods is appreciated, is shown by their generous patronage."
