The accompanying cut represents 

 the manner in which the tower is made 

 and erected, and also shows the manner 

 of anchoring the foot of the tower, and 

 with Mill erected thereon, showing how 

 it becomes an ornament to any farm or 

 home. The manner of putting on bands 

 and braces is our idea to add strength. 

 It has been clearly demonstrated in 

 storms since steel towers have been used, 

 that they do not break off, but that one 

 side kinks, the other lays over, and it 

 closes down like a person closing a knife. 

 This is caused by the long, open space 

 between each set of bands, and the braces 

 used are of little benefit to it; while by 

 our means of bracing the long space be- 

 tween bands is done away with, and it 

 is impossible for it to kink and close to- 

 gether. The tower is made with four 

 corner posts, these being of Angle Steel, 

 the bands and braces of Channel Steel, 

 all parts being fitted with punches and 

 dies by ternplit so that they fit exact, 

 and all a workman needs to erect is ham- 

 mer, punch and wrench. The ladder is 

 securely made and all ready to bolt on, 

 and is one of safety, being far preferable 

 to the short steps on the corner posts. 



The bands and braces of tower are se- 

 curely riveted together before leaving 

 factory, all other parts being put toge- 

 ther with bolts. All parts of tower are 

 galvanized, and taking the tower and 

 wheel together no prettier sight can be 

 seen upon a farm.
