 June business was over. 



T. P. Langhans and Wm. Loew are 

 the committee on transportation for the 

 S. A. F. convention, to be held in Koch- 

 ester, August 16 to 19. They report a 

 rate of $12.23 round trip by the cer- 

 tificate plan, going almost any time, but 

 leaving Rochester August 23 on the re- 

 turn trip. The rate for a Pullman 

 berth is $2, and for a parlor car seat 

 $1.25. As it is believed quite a party 

 will go from Pittsburg, it is desired 

 that all who expect to do so will notify 

 this committee at once so that they 

 may secure a special car and have the 

 party travel together.

 ens and is much improved in health. He

 nue arcade, left last week to visit his

What is the Most Vital Point 

 in Grate Construction? 



Grate makers and aeers agree 

 that the most important point 

 is to keep the air spaces open 

 as long as possible under all 

 conditions. 



We guarantee to keep the 

 air spaces of the 



Martin Anti-rrictlon 

 Rocking Grate 



open longer under any condi- 

 tions than can be done by any 

 other grate in existence. 

 The hottest fire you can build will not warp a " Martin," and it can be 

 installed without disturbing the brick work. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor 

 Bros., Adam Zender, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Co., and many others.
