In a 1949 letter to AMERICAN, E.B. "Spike" Adams, superintendent of the Albany, Georgia, Water Department, thanked the company for its prompt delivery of an order for 4,000 feet of 6-inch Cast Iron pipe. To show the ease of installing the pipe, Adams sent along a picture (top right) of his 4-year-old son, Ken, pulling on a ratchet wrench - the only tool needed to install that particular kind of AMERICAN pipe. "Even my little boy can get Doublex Simplex (pipe) installed in a hurry," Adams wrote. Other jobs involving AMERICAN piping in 1949 included one pictured (bottom right) in which 14,000 feet of Cast Iron pipe was removed from its original installation site at a military base in Tullahoma, Tennessee, and reinstalled in Seguin, Texas.
