17pump-gears of service at 52 $1 per month for repair parts T h e three Type G LaBour pumps in this picture have delivered a total of s e v e n t e e n v e a r s of s e r v i c e t o t h e Sharon Steel Corporation, Sharon, Pa. T h e first p u m p was installed in 1948, the second in 1949, and the third in 1953. T h e pumps are handling pickling solutions at 100° to 120° F. Sharon Steel Corporation has purchased $930 worth of parts for these pumps, some of which were spare parts not for immediate use. Counting t h e m a l l , h o w e v e r , it f i g u r e s only $18.25 per p u m p per year of service. Since fewer part replacements are required, the true saving made possible by LaBour pumps is greater than the mere comparison of parts cost. Usually t h e labor and down-time are more costly by far than the parts themselves. If y o u ' r e a f t e r r e a l e c o n o m y in pumping corrosive liquids, you'd better look at LaBour. W h e n all the figures are in—first cost and maintenance total—after years of service, LaBour is the bargain p u m p of the field.
