Owners or operators of vessels operating on the inland waterways or oceans of the world rely on their power plants for three important reasons: Perform- ance, Reliability, and Economy. ALCO diesels are outstanding in all three categories.

Why? Because coordinated design in the ALCO diesel engine's working parts assures long life operation and drastically lessens usual diesel- maintenance problems. Interchangeable parts and identical construction methods, among the basic models, lower the engine's cost. Modifications can be inexpensively added to the basic engine, adapting it to any specific service.

Our fuel consumption figures are rapidly becoming the envy of many other diesel manu- facturers and users. But we are not stopping here— further improvements in many areas are in the works, including dual fuel and spark-ignited gas engines.

All of this is the result of years of diesel experience—a joint total of three and a half cen- tries within the GEC Diesel Group of which ALCO is a part. Tie this to ALCO's continuing investment program at it's Auburn, New York manufacturing facility to incorporate the most modern features of production technology in the manufacture of diesel engines, and you will readily recognize the dedication

ALCO has to it's present and future customers.

Whether your diesel needs are for marine propulsion, power generating systems, standby power units or pumping, contact your ALCO representative before you order your next diesel. Or write ALCO Power Inc., 100 Orchard St.,
