IF you haven't happened 

 to read that little write- 

 up of the new Duckham- 

 Pierson rose range at 

 Madison, N. J., that ap- 

 peared in last week's Ex- 

 change, go straight away 

 and do that very thing. 



Do it, whether you are 

 interested in the range or 

 not. Do it, because it con- 

 tains some good sound 

 business sense that you 

 will appreciate. 



It's either sense or patri- 

 otism, am not sure which. 

 Just now, however, one 

 means the other. 



In case you don't look it 

 up, you may like to know 

 a few things about this 

 big rose range that with 

 earnest faith in the coun- 

 try and a prosperity that's 

 bound to be, this company 

 is building at Madison. 

 N. J. 



There are 5 Iron Frame 

 Houses and a iine big 

 power plant. 



Five houses are being 

 put up now, and the land 



This shows our quick sliiftinj? scaffold for ridge 

 work. 



B.v looking sliarp, you can just see the ridge truss 



running from rafter to rafter. It amply 



strengthens it without adding to the shade. 



all ready for another later. 

 Each house is 61 feet 

 wide and 500 feet long, 

 and o£ the same construc- 

 tion and long roof slope 

 to the south as the last 

 Coddington houses at Mur- 

 ray Hill. 



The frame of the first 

 house went up in a week. 



Materials were delivered 

 daily by auto trucks from 

 our Elizabeth factory, so 

 this pace could be kept up 

 for the iive. 



The main rafter and 

 trussing members are all 

 hot riveted together at the 

 factory, so they can be 

 quickly hustled up and all 

 bolted into place in no 

 more time than it used to 

 take to put up just a 

 rafter. 



Every once in a while as 

 this big range progresses, 

 we will tell you about it. 

 In the meantime, don't for- 

 get that we go anywhere 

 for business — or to talk 

 business.
