Pure Water for Drinking.
"I do not see," said a business man who travels around a good deal, “why Cincinnati can not have something like there is in St Louis. I mean a ooncern t at will supply cool, pure water at a nominal cost to the people. Over in SL Louis there is a water company that was slarted in a small way, out is now capitalized at, I believe, SIOO,OOO. Drinking water is supplied for family use in any quantity desired. It is supplied in large bottlos, which are returned. They are delivered by men in wagi ns, just as milk is supplied for family use. The water is first distilled, all the impurities removed, and then charged with something which makes the water sparkle like mountain spring water. It is a delicious drink, and is used in large quantities by families. The water is taken from the rtvor.” —Cincinnati CommercialGazette.
