The Very Serious Question of Side Posts 



HERE are two posts. 

 In some ways 

 alike, but differing. (_)ne 

 is our regular standard 

 flat guaranteed wrought 

 iron one, with its double 

 gusset plate joining it 

 to the steel rafter. 



Tlie other is the same 

 post and gusset plate, 

 only it has angle irons 

 bolted to each side to 

 stiffen it wherever cross 

 ties are anchored to it, 

 to prevent the length- 

 wise swaying of the 

 house. 



There are three good 

 rugged reasons for 

 making these posts the 



way we make them. 

 Tliere are also some ex- 

 ceedingly interesting 

 and decidedly vital 

 points about criss cross 

 bracing that's worth 

 your while to know 

 about. All these things 

 are fully told in this 

 week's page Ad. in 

 Florists' Excliange. 

 Take the trouble to look 

 it ujj. If you don't take 

 the Exchange, dro]) us a 

 card and wq will gladly 

 send vou a proof of the 

 Ad. 



If you are ready to talk 

 building say when and 

 where and Ave '11 be 

 there.
