Gable Framing 

 Its Importance 



/~^ ABLE framing has been 

 ^^ slighted. Big houses 

 require radically different 

 gable construction 'from the 

 smaller ones. This big house 

 in its development is con- 

 stantly bringing out points 

 that must be met in special 

 ways. 



As a splendid example of re- 

 cent gable construction the 

 80x600 "footer," completed 

 this Spring for "The MacAl- 

 pin Boys," at Exeter, N. H., 

 is well worth looking into. 

 The limit of our space does 

 not allow us to describe the 

 gable in detail here, but if 

 you will look up our page ad. 

 in Florists' Exchange of 

 August 29th, you will get 

 the full facts and figures. 

 If you don't take the Ex- 

 change, drop us a postal and 

 we will gladly send you a 

 proof of the Ad. 

 If you want a safe and sure 

 house and are ready to talk 

 it over — say when and where 

 and we '11 be there. 



The two main liable rafters in tlie 80 foot Aiai'AIpin house 

 have Hteel ane:les ijolteil on eaeh wide to slitTen and strenKthen 

 tlieni. The an«le |»urlin»* are hotted direct to tlie antle stitfeners. 



The otiier liable rafters are plain flat l>ar steel, to whieli tlie

The cypress bars are bolted (not screwed) to the purlins, and 

 separated from them by steel spacers.
