  Before 
  putting 
  up 
  this 
  season's 
  screens, 
  remember 
  that 
  it 
  isn't 
  the 
  

   frame 
  that 
  makes 
  the 
  screen 
  — 
  it's 
  the 
  material 
  within 
  the 
  frame 
  which 
  

   will 
  spell 
  the 
  difference 
  between 
  comfort 
  and 
  discomfort 
  for 
  you 
  this 
  

   summer. 
  

  

  Spend 
  this 
  summer 
  undisturbed 
  by 
  flies, 
  mosquitoes 
  and 
  other 
  insects, 
  

   by 
  screening 
  your 
  doors 
  and 
  windows 
  with 
  Pompeiian 
  Bronze 
  Wire 
  

   Cloth 
  because 
  

  

  it 
  affords 
  absolute 
  protection 
  against 
  insects; 
  

  

  it 
  can't 
  rust; 
  

  

  it 
  offers 
  no 
  obstruction 
  to 
  light 
  and 
  air; 
  

  

  it 
  is 
  practically 
  invisible 
  ; 
  

  

  it 
  is 
  indestructible 
  ; 
  

  

  it 
  will 
  never 
  lose 
  its 
  color, 
  either 
  by 
  chipping, 
  wear, 
  fading 
  

   or 
  other 
  causes; 
  

  

  it 
  is 
  immune 
  against 
  the 
  corrosive 
  action 
  of 
  salt 
  air. 
  

  

  Pompeiian 
  Bronze 
  IFire 
  Cloth, 
  of 
  which 
  we 
  are 
  the 
  originators 
  and 
  sole 
  manufacturers, 
  is 
  made 
  

   of 
  an 
  alloy 
  of 
  copper, 
  aluminum, 
  and 
  other 
  non-corrosive 
  materials, 
  and 
  combines 
  the 
  durability 
  of 
  

   these 
  materials 
  with 
  the 
  toughness 
  and 
  elasticity 
  of 
  steel. 
  

  

  Pompeiian 
  Bronze 
  Wire 
  Cloth 
  is 
  woven 
  on 
  our 
  improved 
  power 
  looms, 
  which 
  insures 
  accuracy 
  

   and 
  uniformity 
  of 
  the 
  meshes 
  in 
  warp 
  and 
  filling. 
  

  

  Pompeiian 
  Bronze 
  Hire 
  Cloth 
  is 
  in 
  color 
  a 
  facsimile 
  of 
  the 
  ancient 
  Pompeiian 
  bronzes, 
  and 
  is 
  

   so 
  delicately 
  shaded 
  as 
  to 
  render 
  the 
  cloth 
  almost 
  invisible. 
  The 
  color 
  is 
  produced 
  by 
  the 
  combination 
  

   of 
  the 
  materials 
  entering 
  into 
  the 
  wire 
  and 
  not 
  by 
  paint 
  or 
  lacquer. 
  

  

  Pompeiian 
  Bronze 
  IFire 
  Cloth 
  is 
  for 
  sale 
  by 
  all 
  leading 
  hardware 
  dealers.

  containing

  Bronze 
  Hire

   We 
  strongly 
  advise 
  sending 
  for 
  one 
  before 
  installing 
  screens, 
  as 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  means 
  of 
  making 
  this 
  summer 
  a 
  more 
  

   comfortable 
  one.
