OUR TWO COLUMN 60 FT. IRON FRAME HOUSE 



Here is a safe house because it is made a safe way. A few 

 years ago our first 40-foot Iron Frame House having only two 

 small columns was much the talk. Some of the old gray beards 

 shook their heads and "had their doubts if such a house, 700 feet 

 long, would stand the wind and snow strain." 



Since then we have built many "40 footers." During the 

 last year we did a lot of hard thinking alx)ut how an equally 

 safe house, half as wide again, could be made with the same 

 number of columns. We knew that it was not safe engineering 

 practice to put the strain of that immense roof on the side posts 

 and fittings at the ridge, which was bound to be the case if 

 supported by trusses alone. 



We also realized that a series of trusses that were brought in 

 place " by a nut and thread tension plan" were dangerous, as 

 any sudden, unexpected strain might strip the threads, and 

 should this occur on several of the trusses, the roof would be 



in great danger of collapse. It was evident that to keep watch 

 of these innumerable tension truss rods was out of the question. 



Knowing these things, we have gone slow— slow but sure, 

 and now here is a house 60 feet wide, that is stiffened between 

 the two columns, spaced 29 feet apart, by an angle iron com- 

 pression truss which is formed by bolting the angle irons 

 directly to the fish plates, and the column and ridge fittings. 

 No trussing Ijetween the iron rafters is necessary. 



You get nine 4 feet 6-inch l)enches; two24-incli side walks 

 and eight •J2-inch walks. 



In our next .\dv. we will show you a section of a house 72 

 feet wide. 



If you want more particulars of this weeks house, or cant 

 wait lot our next Adv.. write us. Better yet, call at any of our 

 five offices.
