Double — and Why 



See those trusses — they are double angle iron. 



See those fittings fastening the parts of the 



truss to the cross tie — they are double. 



See those column caps— they are double, half 



bolting on each side of each rafter. 



See those gusset plates at the eaves joining the 



rafters to the post— they are double. 



See those ridge plates binding together the two 

 rafters —they are double. 



See those angle knees fastening the purlins to the 

 rafters — they are double — one on each side of 

 th<' purlins. 



Why this doubling? 



For exactly the same reason that when you wjint 

 to take a 50 mile trip, you put enough gasoline 



in your tank to take you that 50, and some to 

 spare, in case of detours. 



Our houses would be plenty strong without the 

 doubles, to meet any ordinary snows and blows. 

 But it's for the detours — those off-seasons when 

 the unusual happens, that we build our houses 

 to meet. 



The very fact that in all the snows and all the 

 blows that have been in the last 40 years, not a 

 one of our iron frame houses has gone down, 

 would look as if we kind of know what we are 

 talking about. 



If you are looking for a house that is built to stand 

 weather's detours, then we are looking for you. 



Let's talk it over together, 

 we'll be there. 



Say where, and
