| TEXT | Every machinist has heard of the Hooker Steam Pumps, and their wonderful adaptation to all the varied purposes for which these articles are used, Every fair and exhibition, from the California State Fair of 1868, and the centennial, down to those of the most recent date, has awarded them the highest premiums, and the universal opinion is that they are absolutely unrivaled by any other in the market. In 1883 the Hooker-Colville Steam Pump Co. was incorporated with a capital of $50,000, the industry having been conducted for three years previously by Mr. W. D. Hooker. Mr. Wm. C. Farrar is the president and treasurer of the company; Mr. J. P. Sweeney, vice-president; and Mr. C. C. Farrar, secretary, all of whom are practical men. They occupy very fine premises at 1101 N. Second street, 140x158 feet in area, well equipped with all modern appliances, driven by a steam engine of forty horse power, and requiring the services of as many as fifty hands, among whom are many of the most skillful machinists in the Southwest. The list of manufacture embraces pumps for every conceivable purpose to which they can be put. Among the best known are the Hooker Plunger Pump for boiler feeding, mines and heavy work, the Hooker Piston Pump for general service, the Hooker Double Action Miner's Sinking Pump, the Hooker Tank and Light Service Pump, artesian and vertical deep well engines and pumps of every description. More than forty different kinds of these articles are made here, each having been gradually improved in both construction and action, until they now stand unapproached in any particular by those of other manufacturers before the public. A few points of excellence may be tersely summed up in the following features: Simplicity, originality, durability, economy, power and speed. Each article is thoroughly tested before shipment, and is warranted to do its work in a most satisfactory manner. A flourishing branch is in operation in Chicago, and the trade extends over the whole of the United States. The steady growth of trade is a sure indication of how well patrons are suited. |
