Some WortK While Facts 

 About Ernest Saunders' House 



IK you know Ernest Saunders of 

 I.ewiston, Me., you know he comes 

 pretty close to being right up 

 among the front rank of careful buy- 

 ers. When we say careful, however, 

 don't mi.stake us. We don't mean 

 he weighs every penny he can save 

 — not that kind of careful. We mean 

 — he counts every dollar he can 

 mal<e. 



Not the kind either that counts 

 chickens before they are hatched; 

 But the kind that knows that the 

 only way to produce the best of 

 stock is to get the best there is to 

 produce it with. 



That's why he now owns one of our 

 40 X 425 feet iron franiers. The build- 

 ing of 40 footers without columns 

 can be done with perfect safety; but 

 Mr Saunders leans towards the safe 

 side of safety and believes all this 

 talk about columns has been carried 

 a bit too far. 



So we put in two columns and 

 secured them to the rafters by a 

 good rugged fitting that is bolted 



directly to the rafter and bolted 

 througli and through the column. 

 At the bottom they are set :n 

 heavy 4-way braced cast iron foot 

 bases that are bedded in concrete. 

 Unless our figures are all ciphers, 

 nothing can lift that house up with- 

 out lifting a good generous slice of 

 old Mother Earth with it. 

 Just notice the clamp column swing 

 fcr the overhead mains. A neat 

 practical fitting that does the work 

 the way it ought to be done. 

 The roof ventilating hand wheels 

 are equipped with our special tell- 

 tale device that shows at a glance 

 the ridge sash opening. 

 \\'hat would a house like Saunders' 

 cost you? Well it will cost more 

 than it did him. And every day you 

 put off building it is liable to cost 

 still more. 



Next year it will probably cost still 

 more. 



This year, right now, is the time to . 

 build. 



You know we go anywhere for 

 business, or to talk business.
