METAL 
COLUMNS 
For That Fine New Home 
Architects in all parts of the country are protecting 
their work against the disfiguring effects of time by specifying 
Union Metal Columns, “The Ones That Last a Lifetime . 
It is a great satisfaction to the architect and owner 
to know that the columns, one of the chief architectural features 
of his building, are made of enduring copper bearing steel; 
—that they will not split, rot and open up at the joints as all 
wood columns do. 
These handsome pressed steel columns are fur¬ 
nished in all classical orders of architecture and in all sizes 
from 8 to 36-inch diameters and from 5 feet to 32 feet high. 
If you would learn the royal road to 
column satisfaction, write us today for 
new catalog and complete information.

Better Architectural Detail 
“CREO-DIPT” Stained Shingles, 16" or 18" on roof and 24" 
on side-walls used in a selected color combination of brown 
and grey, green, or red, help the architect attain detail and 
technique not possible with other building materials. 
When you add to that the economy of “CREO-DIPT” Stained Shingles, 
preserved with best earth pigments ground twice in pure linseed oil 
carried into the shingles with creosote oil, you have results that give 
satisfaction for a lifetime. The open market does not afford such 
quality in shingles or stains.
