WILLIAMS' 



VENTILATING 

 WINDOW - SASH 



FASTENERS 



do jiot spring or throw your window out 

 of plumb. Allow one to five inches of ven- 

 tilation and make entrance impossible at the 

 same time. Prevent rattling and do not mar 

 sash. Any other catch does not insure safety 

 from your home being invaded by night or 

 day. You can breathe the pure, fresh air 

 without this fear. A child can attach and 

 operate it. Every home needs one or more 

 rooms equipped with Williams' Ventilating 

 Window-Sash Fastener. • Put it along- 

 side the present style catch and you'll pre- 

 vent robbery. If your hardware dealer can- 

 not supply Williams', I'll send sample pre- 

 paid upon receipt of fifty cents, and return 

 money if you're not delighted. People 

 building should write for 

 folder anyway.
