OUR FRONT COVER PICTURE. 
Those of our readers especially inter- 
ested in civic improvements, more partic- 
ular^ landscape architects, park boards, 
cemetery associations and playground su- 
perintendents, will be impressed with the 
excellent design of iron fence and entrance 
gates pictured on the front cover of this 
issue. 
This massive and artistic iron fence and 
entrance gateway is a special design ex- 
ecuted by the Stewart Iron Works Co., 
Cincinnati, 0., and bears their stamp of 
originality in designing and construction. 
Some of the larger parks and cemeteries 
throughout the country, we are told, are 
adopting this style, and wherever erected 
it has created very favorable comment be- 
cause of its solidity and beauty. 
The fence shown is constructed of 
54-inch square pickets, set diagonally, 
spaced 5 inches on centers, and is 6 feet 
high, set. Their patented reinforced 2x§4- 
inch three-rib channel rail, adjustable line 
post, center support and other patented 
features are embodied in the construction 
of this fence. 
The large double gates deserve particu- 
lar notice. The design has been worked 
out to fit the style of the fence to a nicety. 
The otherwise plain appearance of the 
gates is relieved by the unique wrought 
iron scroll work at top and bottom. They 
are 14 feet wide and 12 feet high, hung on 
eye and socket hinges, with 2-inch square 
hinge bars and so designed that thev swing 
perfectly free at all times without the pos- 
sibility of getting out of alignment. 
“Suitable gates and arches to a cemetery 
mean more than a mere entrance way if 
designed appropriate to the surroundings,” 
writes Mr. Stewart, of the Stewart Iron 
Works Co. “They serve as a sort of cur- 
tain raiser — an indication of what is on the 
inside. One’s expectation of delightful 
grounds, beautiful flowers and charming 
landscape features are usually accelerated 
when the approach to the cemetery is 
marked by a pretentious entrance. A cem- 
etery may possess an indescribable charm 
in the views of its natural scenery, may be 
dotted with monuments of unsurpassed 
elegance and maintained in a first-class 
manner, but if it lacks an attractive iron 
entrance gateway, it leaves an unfinished 
condition.”
