of This One 



It has sides seven feet to eaves. 



It is 60 feet 7 inches wide, and 

 22 feet 3 inches high at the 

 ridge. 



It has six steel gable posts, two 

 of which are latticed. 



These are the two longest ones, 

 on each side of the doors. 



These latticed posts are jnade 

 of a H-in. X 4>^-in. flat bar 

 steel, latticed to two l/^-in- x 

 1%-in. X ii-in. steel angles. 



Light as these rafters are in 

 appearance, their strength is 

 equivalent to a solid rafter 

 5^ -in. X 10-inch. 



They have a 300 per cent mar- 

 gin of safety over and above 

 normal needs.

bolt angle knee, on each end of 

 the angle purlin. 

 Although totally free from any 

 cumbersome back bracings, 

 this gable, big as it is; with 

 888 square feet of fsurface ex- 

 posed to a direct thrust of the 

 wind, is as staunch and strong 

 as needs be. 



It is so put that it stays put. 

 If the gable stays put, so will 

 the putty. 



You know full well that much 

 glass loosening all over the 

 house is caused by weak gables 

 that weaken the entire frame. 

 When a gable gives, so does 

 the frame. 



It's the alternj^te give-and-take 

 that makes the trouble. 



When ready to build let's talk 

 it over together.
