How Our Number Two Is the Same 



And How It Differs 

 From Our Number One Construction 



Tlif Xumbir Two is a full iron house that wc can sell you 

 for the same price as a Semi-Iron. 



When we say the Number Two Construction is a lull iron 

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

 say and tell the truth. 



POSTS 



It has exactly the same guaranteed Wrought iron 

 posts used in the Number One, and is imbedded in 

 concrete the same way. 



RAFTERS 



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

 spaced 8 ft. 4 ins. apart instead of 12 ft. 6 ins. as in 

 the Number One. 



GUSSET PLATE 



The gusset plates that join the steel rafter to the 

 Wrought iron are double, one on each side of the 

 post and rafter, just as in the Number One. 

 It only diflFers in being cast iron and having the rafter 

 cap clasp and eave plate supporting lug cast right on 

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

 strength, besides looking mighty neat. 



EAVE PLATE 



It's the same galvanized steel angle. 



ROOF BAR CLASPS 



These are our 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 



The columns are steel pipe of standard quaUty. 



CYPRESS 



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

 whether commercial or private, and that grade is the 

 best grade. 

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



HARDWARE 



AH vent hinges are galvanized, have brass pins and 

 six screw holes. 



Door hardware 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, 16x24 is used. 



THE DIFFERENCE 



So you see that practically the only diflference between 

 the two constructions is the eave gusset plate and the 

 number of lights between rafters. 



Of course houses of the Number One in widths wider 

 than 40 feet have trussing between the columns. 

 In either construction, however, only two columns 

 and no trussing is used up to and including the 40 

 foot width. 



WIDTHS 



The Number Two is made in eight widths — 11, 

 28, 33, 35, 39, 40. 



18, 25, 



So why put up a Semi-Iron or pipe frame house, when we 

 can sell you this full iron frame Number Two Construc- 

 tion for the same money?
