was in very bad condition. Upon the writ- 
er's suggestion, we secured several barrels 
of Dixon’s paint and coated this building. 
The iron was worn through in many 
places, caused by the alkalies and gases in 
this vicinity. A close inspection of this 
building after ten years’ service in this 
trying climate reveals the fact that the 
iron today is in better condition than it 
was ten years ago, before it had been 
coated w'ith your paint.” 
The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, 
Jersey City, N. J., have an interesting little 
booklet on silica-graphite paint which they 
will be glad to send to park or cemetery 
superintendents who are interested in paint- 
ing outdoor structures.

THE COVER 
The illustration on the cover of this is- 
sue shows a massive type of entrance gate 
of unusually attractive architecture and 
very substantial construction. 
The brick post form of gate construction 
has been used in a great variet}' of in- 
teresting ways, and this is a very effective 
and pleasing design for this kind of en- 
trance. 
It will be especially noted that the archi- 
tectural details and the lines and propor- 
tions of the posts have been carefully 
treated in every detail to produce an effect

of massive solidity as well as an impres- 
sion of rarely decorative character. 
The decorative details have thus been 
worked out to harmonize with the charac- 
ter of the ironwork and produce an en- 
trance structure of dignity and grace to 
harmonize with the attractive landscape 
within. 
This entrance was designed and built by 
the Stewart Iron Works Company, of Cin- 
cinnati, who have many other plans and de- 
signs for entrances and fences of similar 
nature suitable to any situation. 
PAINTING METAL BUILDINGS. 
The protection of metal buildings in our 
great factory neighborhoods is the most 
difficult problem for an owner and for the 
paint manufacturer. Not only are weather 
and wear to be provided against, but par- 
ticularly gases, and alkali attacks destroy 
the paint and attack the metal. 
Dixon’s Silica-Graphite Paint is used 
very successfully for this purpose, and we 
quote the following testimonal covering a 
ten years’ service of Dixon’s paint, re- 
ceived from the St. Mary’s Wheel & Spoke 
Company, St. Marys, Ohio : 
“Ten years ago the question arose as to 
whether we would re-side the interior of 
our building with new iron, as the building
