Be\vare ol columns not properly filled. Concrete shrinks in hardening 

 and tends to lea\e a slight space next to the steel shell, weakening the 

 strength of the column. The James process of filling the columns offsets 

 this shrinking tendency, as well as avoiding air pockets and sponginess 

 \\hich would gi\e rust a chance to attack the column from the inside. 



Prices on James Columns should not be compared with columns 

 made from mlerior materials; or from second-hand boiler tubes, because 

 of the danger of such tubes haMng rusted thin in spots.
