PURLIN FACTvS 



We believe in the an;Ie iion puilins, ard know thatscrew- 

 ing the bars to them, gives an accurate spacing with no 

 chance for side slij ping. 



Our " l ling Tight'' purlin and column fitting allows the 

 column to be placed directly under the purlin, and makes it 

 impossible for the angle purlin to turn, or the fitting to 

 snap off. Send for our new circular — it's a bundle of 

 other interesting building facts.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW 

 ABOUT OUR NEW 

 INDESTRUCTIBLE 

 CAST IRON BENCH? 



Do you know that it is indestructible ? 



Do you know why it has 5% more room than a 

 wooden bench of the same size, and from 5/ u to 10% 

 mere than a concrete bench? 



Do you know why two men can easily put up 

 500 square feet in a day ? 



Then send for our 6 page circular which fully de- 

 scribes and illustrates it.

ON THE INSIDE AGAIN 



Here is an interior of one of the houses erected last year at Tuxedo Park, N. Y. 



You see it is an even span house with the center bench left out to accomodate the tall growing, potted plant . 



We are glad to get the photo before the house was filled, because it shows the arrangement better and you 



get a most convincing view of the U Bar curved eave with its web like construction. Nothing to obstruct 



the light, from vent header to sill. 



It is the ideal construction for private estates, parks, public institutions and florists' show rooms.
