THE COVER ILLUSTRATION. 
The entrance shown on the cover of this 
issue is an unusually interesting type,’ illus- 
trating the use of iron newel posts instead 
of stone or brick posts. 
The design has been worked out to pro- 
duce a very dignified and impressive en- 
trance structure. It has been so executed 
as to secure something of the massive char- 
acter that adheres to the entrance of the 
stone post variety and at the same time 
preserve the maximum ornamental effect 
of the ironwork. The fence, the posts and 
the gates have been merged very har- 
moniously in design, and the ornamental 
work of the posts is utilized to double 
purpose for decoration and the added 
strength that is secured by careful bracing 
and joining of the posts. 
The final ornamental touch is given by 
the handsome lighting fixtures that sur- 
mount both posts. 
This entrance was built by the Stewart 
Iron W’orks Co., of Cincinnati, who have 
many other styles similar to this, or with 
arches or stone post effects.

modest in that it refers only to the orders

dered in three different sizes, 8-ton, lO-ton 
and 12-ton. They are equipped to operate 
on Russian kerosene oil. the product of the 
vast oil fields located in southern Russia.
