aiANT ARCH CLASPS— A single bolted split clasp secures 

 the column to the purlin. A double bolted split clasp grips to- 

 gether the column and cross tie. The purlin is firmly secured to 

 the gable rafter by a special fitting bolted (not screwed) to the 

 rafter.

 I 's plain to Bee that this Giant Arch forms "a tower of strength" in

 its erection cost is lowest — lower even than 

 an all wood house. 



For either connected or separate houses, the 

 L. & B. Pipe Frame Construction is thorough- 

 ly practical and a mighty good buy. 



When you compare our estimates with oth- 

 ers, you may find that our house, built as we 



know it is best to build it, costs somewhat 

 more. But the only reason it does cost more is b«- 

 caus* th«r« Is mors matsrial in It to cost. At 



the same time, however, it is well to remember that 

 there is no more material in it than is necessary to 

 make it a rigid, enduring house, such as you can abso- 

 lutely depend upon. No natter what kind of construc- 

 tion you are thinking of buying— make sure you know 

 all there is to know about our Pipe Frame. After that 

 it is time enough to decide which you will buy. 



We will be only too glad to take the matter up with 

 you. Write us.
