of a Trussed House

ours is, then if you want to go into 



its every detail, our catalog covers the entire thing, with sketches, cuts, and good readable 



descriptions taking you to the meat of the thing at once. 



It's an easy enough matter to truss here and there through your house, 

 but when the whole, standing-up, staying-togetherness of your house 

 depends on the trussing, then you need expert engineering experience. 

 We have that kind of experience, and as a result turn out the lightest 

 and strongest truss house made. A house with absolutely rigid roof bars 

 that easily stands the strain of a 175-lb. man swinging on them at any 



point, without the slightest perceptible, giving. We have not reduced . 



the trussing to mere %-inch wires, but %-inch and 5-16-inch steel 



with %-inch round purlins. We have a stronger house, and still 



it's lighter than any other, just because we truss at every sixth 



bar instead of at every fourth, while strutting at every other one 



instead of at every bar. For the truss house the sashbar is IVg-inch 



X 2%-inch, in the column house it is 1%-inch X 2%-inch, making Truss house bar. Regular sashbar. 



the truss-bar narrower but deeper. Our truss house is constructed on tried out, tested 

 mechanical principles. You can make no mistake in buying it — Send for the catalog.
