.lust a hint of the crisscross r(X)f tie bracing between the gable 



rifter and the next one. aft^ 



Many constructions use such lies farther down the hou-e. We yjjS 



use them rlKhi at the start, because we believe that Sl'AliTINU (III) 



rlHht means STAYING right. I(|M 



Two Things and One More 

 That Have To Do With Right Construction 



111 our last Ad. we liaii a lot to say alijul frame stiffeiiiiiK. 

 Volt recall we made mention ol the secondary pjst placed 

 Ix'tweeii the refjular posts, lo keep the eave from saj!^'iii«. 

 'r.ikf a look at the lelt-liaiid illustration and you will see 

 a Mack arrow pointing to one. 



Hear in m iid that fastened to it, at the cave, is the purlin 

 sau rod. It luiis through each purlin from the Vent purlin. 



Kavo bowing is absolutely prcventeti. 



Truss ng under the ridge prevents any sagging at that 



iiniiortant puiiil of the construction. 



The side then, from roof lo sill, is practically as >tilV and 

 staunch between rafters as near the rafler>. 

 Now, to slitl'en the house length wse. we run crisscross 

 tyi g rods from the gable rafter to the tirst rafter. They arc 

 placed betwec i eacli purlin from eave to header |>url ii. 



From top of the gable post is run an angle iron brace to 

 the intermediate i>Jst at the sill.^ Also from it to the 

 bottom of the next regular post. Vou can at om-e see the 

 rii: dity these combined lies and bracing must give. 



Still further gaiile bracings are run from a gible purlin to 

 the ridge, and from the gable i)o^ts to the ground .it tirat 

 column. 



These braces are the shock troops, so lo speak, of the 

 tight against glass loosening and breakage. 



We have proved over and over again that much of the 



loosening and breakage of glass is due uol lo a weak frame, 



liiit insulticie tly braced gable, 



TheGIVK AND-TAKE on a weak gable is transferred lo 



the e itire framework. 



it causes a CO.Mh] AN'D-GO movetnent that slowly but 



>urely pries the lights loose or bi'eaks tliem. 



.Simc folks have tried to lieiittle our gable construction oy 

 saying it was needles-ly heavy and needlessly braced. 

 Our answer to winch is only o e thing: 

 Our houses have a reputation lor their tight glazing, 

 Tney are tight at the start. 

 They STAY tight, because things slay rigid. 



Therefore, it looks like we would keep right on making 



our construction sliti" and staunch, both crosswi-e and 



lengthwise. 



In keeping with which the strength of the gibles will be 



in keeping, 



Vou know we go anyw here for bii>ines>. 



Or to talk business.
