How the Number Two Is the Same 



And How It Differs 

 From the Number One Construction 



The Number Two is a full iron house thil wp can sell you 

 for tlie same price as a Semi-Iron. 



Wlien we say thtf' Number Two Construct'on is a full iron 

 frame, we say it because tliul's the only thing you can say 

 and tell ihe truth. 



POSTS 



It has exactly the same guaranteed Wrought iron 

 posts us d in llie Number One. and is imbedded in 

 concrete the same way. 



RAFTERS 



The rafters are steel of the same high jiravle, and are 

 soaoed (s ft. l ins. apiirl instead of J2-ft76 ins. a^ in the 

 Number One. 



GUSSET PLATE 



The gusset plates that join th" st^el raftpr to the 

 Wrought iron are double one on each side of the 

 post and rafter, just as !'■ the JNumbcr One. 

 It only differs m being oast iron and having the rafter 

 cap clasp and eave plate supporting hig cast right on 

 it, making a solid one-piece casting, having ample 

 strength, besides Ijoking mithty neai. 



EAVE PLATE 



It's the same salvanized ste' 1 angle. 



ROOF BAR CLASPS 



These are oui improved non-clogging cast iron ones, 

 fastened to the plate with two bolts. 



PURLINS 



All purlins are angle steel fastened to the rafter with 

 steel angle knees. 



COLUMNS 



Thn.cnlumns are steel pii)e of standard Quality. 



CYPRESS 



We put only one grade of cypress in all our houses, 

 wliether commercial or private, and that grade is th'- 

 best gra<le. 

 All milling is carefully done and free from "jumps." 



HARDWARE 



All vent hinges are galvanized, have brass pins and 

 six screw ho es. 



Door bardwari- is the same high grade that goes into 

 the Number One. 



GLASS 



There are six lights of glass between each rafter 

 instead of nine as in Number One Construction. 

 In both, 1(>.\24 is UfCd. 



THE DIFFERENCE 



So you see that practically the only difference between 



the two constructions i^ the eave gusset plate and the 



number of lights between rafters. 



(If course hou>es of the Number One in widths wider 



tha4(i feet have trussing between ihe columns. 



In eithr construction, however, only two columns and 



no trussing is Uied up to and including the 10 f<ijt 



width, 



WIDTHS 



The Number Two is made in seven widths— 11, is, -'-i, 



•_'S. ;i:i, :t5, 10. 



So why put up a Semi-Iron or pipe frame hou=e, when we 

 lan .sell you this full iron frame Number Twd Construction
