.14 inch, accurately bent by our heavy special machinery. 



This partition not only braces the stanchion frame, doing away with sup- 

 porting the stalls by ceiling posts, but it also protects the cow and the milker, 

 saving many a cow from a damaged udder. 



The stall upright, the horizontal part of the frame, and the stall partitions, 

 are bound firmly together by heavy malleable fittings, into a substantial, 

 durable frame. The fittings are readily drawn together by cut thread bolts 

 to the exact shape of the pipe, and when bolts are properly tightened, have a 

 vice-like grip. Fittings are of sanitary type, edges overlapping, lessening dust 

 accumulation. 



Most dairymen realize that a sure-stop of some kind is required at the 

 time cow is entering the stall; but to afford maximum comfort, this sure-stop 

 must be out of the cow's way, after being locked in the stanchion. She needs 

 plenty of head room to card herself on either side and to lie down naturally. 



The swinging sure-stop is the only sure-stop that is in place when the 

 cow is entering the stall, yet out of the way when locked in her stanchion. 



Many a dairy farmer has told us that the James alignment device is worth 

 more than the price of the entire stanchion, and the most valuable feature of 

 the stall. This device enables you to lengthen or shorten the stall to fit the 

 length of the cow, so that all cows are lined up at the rear on the gutter; the 

 manure falls m the gutter, keeping the stall and the cow clean. 



Stall I4B has the J14 stanchion — James cow-proof door knob lock; lock- 

 open clip; wood lining; heavy hinge of unusual strength; double chain 

 hangers with flat steel links; James alignment device; and the James stanchion 

 anchor which prevents trouble through rusting of bolts imbedded in concrete. 



It is no small task to properly erect stalls, the upright posts of which must 

 be imbedded in the concrete curb. We have made such stalls for many years, 

 and experience has demonstrated that it requires a mechanic to do a satisfactory 

 job, because when the stall posts are set in place it is necessary to brace them 

 from the ceiling and in the curb and keep them so braced until the concrete 

 has hardened. The addition of the stall post anchors cuts the time and the 

 expense of installation to the minimum, makes the erection of the stall so easy 

 a boy can do the work, and assures a perfect job in every case. 



We find that on the average job, the James system of anchors reduces the 

 cost of installation from 35c to 50c per stall, and contractors who make a busi- 

 ness of erecting barn equipment, will, if they have had experience, make a far 

 lower price on the erection where James stalls and stall anchors are used. 



This stall, and all other James stalls, are finished in the battleship gray 

 color. Every piece of metal is mechanically cleaned, all scale, grease and 

 foreign matter being thoroughly removed, thus properly preparing it for paint- 

 ing. Then finished with best gray protective enamel made for us under our 

 own formula, thoroughly baked for two hours at a high temperature.
