How Are These For Gable Doors? 



Speaklns of the right and wrons way to have your gable 

 doOTS. do yott know KmMt Jiaeller of St. Joseph. Missouri? 

 Well then. yo« know what aoarefnl, palnstakiag man he 

 is abont everything he does. 



When we tell yon that thsse door vhotos wen taken at his 

 ■ew house, along in November, you are momptly satisfied 

 that those doors are right. 



Toa'll notice that the center door is hinged to one of the 

 others, and that it is eauipped with knob and lock as an 

 entrance door. 



Now Just note those two strong channel iron posts. One 

 is bolted directly to the right-hand door, and lias slip bolts 

 top and bottom when yon want to throw the door open. 



The other channel iron poet is fastened to the left-hand 

 door and swings back with it; or is held in place the same 

 as tiie other, 



Observe that the do<vs ALL swing in. 



Also that the two hinged ones fold back as they open in, 

 so that no additional space is necessary on the end walk. 



Folding back tliat way has another advantage. 



It takes the leverage off the main hinges. 



Mind you, we are not saying tlxis is the only way to arrange 

 gable doors, but we do sayttiat the up-to-date Westerners 

 seem to want them that way. 



So it must be because of some particularly sound reason.
