FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business has shown only little im- 

 provement in the last week. Stock of 

 all kinds has been plentiful, without 

 any unusual demand except for Novem- 

 ber 7, when large quantities of chrysan- 

 themums were shipped to Ann Arbor 

 for the annual Michigan-Pennsylvania 

 football game. . 



Various Notes. 



The Doswell Floral Co., at the en- 

 trance to Lindenwood cemetery, started 

 with a small house of plants and grad- 

 ually has increased until now there is 

 a large range growing all kinds of stock 

 for cutting. The chrysanthemums this 

 season are of exceptional quality. There 

 is a good cut of carnations, with excel- 

 lent prospects, and pot plants are com- 

 ing along nicely for holiday trade. Two 

 new houses are in course of erection, to 

 be used for more roses. 



Fort Wayne recently had a fare re- 

 fund week and all the florists made spe- 

 cial efforts to attract out-of-town pur- 

 chasers through window displays. 



Announcement was made here last 

 week of the engagement of Judge W. J. 

 Vesey and Miss Cieo Freeling, a wealthy 

 young woman of St. Louis. Judge Vesey 

 met his fiancee, who is a concert singer, 

 in Milan, Italy. 



W. .T. Vesey, Jr., and Mrs. Vesey at- 

 tended the C. S. A. meeting at Indian- 

 apolis last week. R. R. F. 



Brookings, S. D. — The annual chrysan- 

 themum show of the State College was 

 held under the direction of F. C. Stol- 

 tenberg. More than 7,000 plants were 

 in bloom in the greenhouses.

Ridge Framimg In Our 

 Reconstructed Construction 



D 



BHE more work we can do on 

 a house in our factory the 

 better. It brings the cost 

 down for you and means quicker 

 erection on the job. One radical 

 departure in our Reconstructed 

 Construction is the complete as- 

 sembling and hot riveting together 

 of the rafter from the ridge to 

 the column in connection with the 

 main members and strut of the 

 double angle iron truss. 



To splice this assembled rafter 

 and truss together at the ridge we 

 use an angle Splice Plate and bolts. 



The 12 feet 4*inches span of the 

 ridge between the rafters is so long

that if not stiffened it would have 

 a tendency to sag. To prevent 

 this, we run a light steel rod truss 

 from rafter to rafter with a strut 

 in the center. 



Now take particular notice of 

 the extra wide ridge cap overhang, 

 and how it is milled out to take 

 the sash, making a weather tight 

 cap that is weather tight. 



Notice, also, the notch that is 

 milled on the sash to prevent the 

 wind forcing the water between 

 the sash and cap. 



In the next Ad. we will tell 

 still more about the ridge, and 

 further about the rafter truss.
