EXHIBIT OK BRODEIIICK & BASCOM ROPE COMI'AXY. ST. LOUIS, IN 

 r.\I...\CE OF MAXrFACTI.nERS AT SAX FliAXCISCO 



Broderick & Bascom Exhibit at San Francisco 



In this < 4>nii«'cti»<ii is -hfwn iin •■xhibil ot the lirwlorlck vV Basrom Ilopo 

 Compnn>' of St. I-<i\ils. .Mo., which hns been Installed In the Palace ot 

 Manafacturcr^ nt the Panama-PaclGc Expedition, San Francisco. In an 

 exhibit n( this kind It is particularly dlfllcult to properly convey an im- 

 pression as to the careful way in wbicb the details have been worked out, 

 as the pbotoin'aph merely shows the superficial elTort and cannot give an 

 accurate idea as to the details. 



The exhibit occupies a space forty feet square In the center of which is a 

 very large reel of yellow strand power steel wire rope, nine feet in dlometer, 

 which rests on a mo\ins platform that constantly revolves. On top of the 

 large reel are six smaller reels ot wire rope representing the six strands 

 of a rope which Is alwut to be laid up in llnishcd form. These reels revolve 

 with the large reel and at the same time turn in an opposite direction by 

 mean!> of planetary motion. These smaller reels also revolve in the same 

 direction as they would when being laid up Into a flnlsbcd rope in a wire 

 rope machine. 



At the bottom ot the large reel is a revolving table, fifteen feet in 

 diameter, on which are placed reels and coils of wire and wire rope of 

 the various types and quality that are made by the Broderick & Bascom 

 Rope Company. The center piece is crowned with a beautiful polished 

 dome covered with highly finished wire ropes that arc set in radial form 

 in the dome. On the top of this dome is a small reel of wire rope made In 

 paper weight design representing the company's wire rope paper weight 

 trade mark. 



The entire scheme of the centerpiece Is indicative of what is known as the 

 upright or vertical closing and finishing wire rope machine. The weight 

 of the moving centerpiece approximates 16,000 pounds. 



In addition the display includes various tools used by loggers and wire 

 rope In their operation in the logging camps and many other interesting 

 features. 



New Edition of the General Lumber Tariff 

 So many change.'; Iti Innilitr rates have resulted from the recent decision 

 of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the five per cent case, I. & S. 181 

 and numerous other cases, that the new edition of the Oeneral Lumber TarlC 

 recently Issued by The Lnmb^rmcns Bureau of Washinmon, D. C, and 

 showing all of those changes, comes as a welcomt! relief to the puzzled 

 shipper. 



This tariff shows In simplified form the rates of all kinds of lumber and 

 forest products from every milling point in the states of Alabama, California, 

 Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota. Missis- 

 sippi, Missouri, Montana. >>'crth Carolina. Oklahoma, Oregon, South Caro-

Lumber and Its Uses 



The Unlvernlty of WiRcoualn iiiinoiinres a correH(i..ii.i.-nre roume lor 

 the purpose of teaching the uk.'<< of lumber and a uiiniber of other mat- 

 t.-rs connected with wood. Among the topics on which Instruction will be 

 "ffered are the following : The Structure of Wood : Physical PropertIeK 

 iif Wood: .Standard Grades and Sizes: Structural Timbers: Seasoning and 

 Preservation : Pnlnts and Stains ; Lumber Pricea ; Cost of Wood Con- 

 si ruction; Specific L'ses of Woods; Selection of Materials. 



The fee for the course is five dollars. Outside of forestry achools, this 

 ippears to be the first attempt In this country to conduct a coumc In 

 .ollegc on the special subject of wou.l and Its utilization. There is room 

 l.ir such a course. Though no mnt.-rlai Is more common than wood, most 

 I'l'iiple really know little about it. further than that it Is an excellent 

 thing and is extensively used. 



The subject will be presented by means of assigned readings from a 

 textbook and other printed material. The questions on each assignment 

 are carefully planned to bring out and test the student's grasp of the 

 subject. The work can be done at home at odd times, and since the cost 

 is very moderate, many persons will doubtless take advantage of thla 

 .ipportunity to add book knowl.?dge of wood to what they have learned 

 liy observation and experience. 



The course has been prepared for this work by one of the best aathor- 

 itles In this country and Is planned to be of especial value to lumber 

 dealers, contractors, carpenters, and all others whose work relates to 

 the use of this Important material.
