Building Material. 



Lord & Burnham Co., New York, had

 frames in various sizes, iron gutter in 

 different styles, curved eave, a new 

 machine-mixed paint, etc., the enclosure 

 being formed by frames carrying pipe 

 brackets capable of several hundred 

 different combinations. D. T. Conner 

 and W. H. Wright were in charge. A 

 steel pocket rule was the souvenir. 



The Advance Co., Sichmond, Ind., 

 had an attractive booth to show its 

 ventilating apparatus in operation. 

 Any visitor could turn the wheel and 

 see the working of the new Twistless 

 arm. Another novelty was the split 

 ridge support, a simple device for 

 fastening post to bar. A large line 

 of pipe fittings also was shown. The 

 display was in charge of J. E. Jones, 

 R. E. Jones and Harvey Packer. 



Hitchings & Co., New York, showed 

 their new quick-draft sectional boiler

 all the doors are provided with rustless 

 brass pins. On screens were shown 

 sectional details of their eave plate 

 house, the curved eave house, all the 

 various sashbars, gutters and the half-

lating apparatus was in operation. The 

 exhibit was in charge of Isaac Cassidy 

 and W. J. Davidson. The Foley Co. is 

 western agent for the Giblin boiler 

 and it had been planned to show the 

 heater in the house. Q. A. Harwood, 

 of Giblin & Co., was on hand, but the 

 boilers were among the things that 

 failed to arrive in time. ' 



The Quaker City Machine Co., Rich- 

 mond, Ind., showed the Challenge ven- 

 tilating apparatus, embodying the 

 Twentieth Century Arm. J. A. Evans 

 was demonstrating. 



Heating Apparatus. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, was 

 represented by an exhibit that weighed 

 23,000 pounds. It was identical with 

 the display made at the National Flow- 

 er Show at Boston, except that it also 

 included a new 2-inch return system of 

 piping and a new shaking grate. The 

 No. 14 boiler, capable of heating 48,- 

 000 feet of glass, was sold to J. D. 

 Cockcroft, Northport, L. I., who will 

 .use it to heat greenhouses 400 feet long 

 "with hot water on the gravity system. 

 The piping shown included the boiler 

 tube system, 8-inch flows and the gen- 

 erator that puts the system under pres- 

 sure. ■' Fred Lautenschlager was in 

 charge, as usual. 



The American Auxiliary Heating 

 Co., Boston, showed two of its circu- 

 lators, one directly connected with the 

 motor and one connected by a belt. 

 This apparatus is to accelerate the cir- 

 culation of "water in greenhouse heat- 

 ing systems. It pumps the water, caus- 

 ing it to flow even though cold. The 

 forced circulation may be had by the 

 I use of electric, gas or water motor and 



a circulator is built that starts auto- 

 matically when needed. The ex- 

 hibit was in charge of J. L. Congdon.

 the Ideal steam trap, the Ideal pipe 

 clamp and the Bate evaporator for nico-

 J. F. Johnston was in charge. 



The Morehead Mfg. Co., Detroit, had 

 a large display of the Morehead tilting 

 return traps, each trap shown being 

 built for some special pufpose. The 

 line includes, besides the return trap 

 and boiler feed, vacuum and con- 

 denser traps that draw live steam when 

 the pressure on the coils is extremely 

 light. The display was in charge of 

 R. J. Fridinger, the Baltimore agent. 



Morton McI. Dukhart, Baltimore 

 agent for the Gem City Boiler Co., 

 Dayton, 0., showed a fifty horse-power 

 return tubular portable steel boiler and 

 a pneumatic pumping system by which 

 he gives a syringing pressure, or great- 

 er, from a steel tank, the pumping be- 

 ing done by an electric motor or a 

 gas or gasoline engine.
