From the Kiant arch around the outside of this cut you can see exactly the 

 paits that BO to make it such a stronp franiintf feature. The V-shaped 

 braolnK Is clauiiied to thcjtsross tie pi|)e and tlie ridtfe sag rod is iMjlted 

 til rough it.

VWSI R. WHIFFIN'S range is. as they 

 liAl say dowu in the mountaiQS of Vir- 

 ginia, " two whoops and a holler " 

 from our Des Plaines factory, near Chi- 

 cago. 



To a house he had, we joined this one, 

 28 feet wide by 210 feet long. 



If you look carefully at the framing, 

 you will see it has the Giant Arch with 

 the V-shaped bracing and ridge sag rod.

 tlie l)olts ate p\illc(l up tit'ht. the 

 edtres ditr into the iiipe with a 

 l>ull(li>(.' Krip. 



Those V braces are of pipe that extend 

 to a pipe purlin. 



With this bracing and the sag rod 

 pulled up snug and tight, you have, when 

 combined with the Giant Arch, a frame 

 that, next to our iron frame house, is as 

 rigid and enduring a house as money will 

 buy. 



When you want to talk building, say 

 when and where and we'll be there.
