| @aIS BOOK is dedicated to the Home Builders of America 
 in the sincere hope that by its aid their standard of 
 
 living may be further raised, the design of American 
 
 homes improved and their comforts increased. 
 
 (OC 
 
 LA, 
 FAAS A

 Investigation having shown that 90 per cent of the homes built in 
 this country cost from $3,500 to $15,000, the houses illustrated 
 in this book are confined to those falling within these price limits. 
 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG is designed, not for millionaires, 
 but for the millions—for that great mass of the American people who 
 are the life-blood of the nation and whom Lincoln said ‘“‘God must 
 have loved because he made so many of them.” 
 
 The largest investment ever made by the average family is the sum 
 of money invested in a home. How necessary, then, it is that every 
 precaution should be taken to safeguard this investment and to make 
 it a source of lasting satisfaction—the satisfaction that can be derived 
 only from a home that is attractive in appearance, convenient in 
 arrangement, and thoroughly well built of time-tested and reliable 
 materials. ; 
 
 In the Manufacturers’ Section of HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
 will be found authentic information on each class of building material 
 and on other products necessary for the construction and equipment 
 of the home, and in the Plan Section are hundreds of attractive de- 
 signs of houses, each of which has actually been built. The illustra- 
 tions are from photographs, giving a clearer idea of how the house 
 will look when finished than can possibly be conveyed by an imagi- 
 nary sketch. 
 
 A careful study of the floor plans will reveal many unique features 
 designed to add to the comfort and convenience of the home without 
 materially increasing its cost. Complete working blue-print plans of 
 any house illustrated can be obtained through the building contractor 
 whose name appears on the front cover of this book. 
 
 Of this 1926 edition of HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 20,000 copies 
 were printed and distributed to leading building contractors who 
 specialize in home construction. Copies are also on file in many 
 public libraries. With this broad distribution it is hoped and believed 
 that the helpful information contained in this book will be available 
 to hundreds of thousands of home builders and will aid them, with 
 the help of their building contractor, in securing more attractive, sub- 
 stantial and conveniently arranged homes than would otherwise have 
 been possible. 
 
 We advocate maximum dealer distribution.

 Product: 
 
 The one product of the Alpha Portland Cement Company is ALPHA 
 CEMENT, made only in one grade and sold always on the guaran- 
 tee that it will meet standard specifications adopted by the American 
 Society for Testing Materials, and approved by the American En- 
 gineering Standards Committee. 
 
 ALPHA CEMENT is furnished oridinarily in cotton sacks (see il- 
 lustration below), carrying 94 pounds net—approximately one cubic 
 foot of actual cement—but will be supplied also in paper containers 
 or in bulk carload shipments without containers. 
 
 ALPHA CEMENT is one of the oldest American brands and won 
 its reputation in the days when foreign-made cements were used 
 generally in America because of their supposed superior quality. : = ae

 Suggested Uses: 
 
 ALPHA CEMENT witl give the best results in every type of im- 
 provement calling for a high-grade Portland Cement. The requisites 
 are simple—that it be thoroughly mixed with proper proportions of 
 water and suitable aggregates—clean sand and crushed stone, gravel 
 or pebbles, slag, or other approved coarse aggregate. All cement 
 improvements should be reinforced at points that undergo strain. 
 
 ALPHA CHMENT improvements, whether for the home building 
 proper or for supplementary improvements for the yard or farm, 
 have much in their favor. They can be made rust-proof, rat-proof, é 5 ’ Biainabl 
 rot-proof, fireproof and water-proof. As the illustrations on this page Four different Se al ape hide aes 
 show, there is a pleasing variety of surface finishes obtainable. a i 
 This variety may be increased by the use of suitable coloring matter 
 inthe mortar. The Alpha Cement Handbook, illustrated on this page, gives formulas for obtaining 
 these color effects, whether for main walls of house or for porches, walks, gate-posts, etc. 
 ALPHA CEMENT stucco mortar may be applied directly to the surface of the coarsely finished 
 cement block with satisfying results. Such an exterior always looks well and requires no painting. 
 
 Tables for Use of ALPHA CEMENT: 
 
 In addition to the table shown at the bottom of this page, the ALPHA CEMENT literature 
 contains many other useful tables.

 Siedial fogtaral Anish. Colored rock dash finish. 
 
 Directions for Placing a Stucco Coat: 
 
 Drench the masonry and cement block walls thoroughly with water, but let drain off before 
 applying the stucco. Apply the stucco continuously in one direction, and do not let the edges dry 
 up. Work stucco coats only to an extent that is absolutely necessary. Keep mortar coats wet for 
 several days. Apply water as soon as each coat has hardened enough so that it will not wash. 
 Apply the finish coat only after previous coats have been cured for at least one week. Use only 
 wood float to prepare the finish coat for final surface finishing. 
 
 ALPHA CEMENT Literature: 
 
 Alpha Cement Dealers in nearly all populous communities will be pleased to supply contractors The ALPHA CEMENT 
 and property-owners with a variety of literature and service sheets showing designs for scores of Handbook. 
 
 permanent and handsome home, yard and farm improvements made possible through the use of 
 ALPHA CEMENT, such as steps, porches, retaining walls, driveways, storage cellars, garages, yard 
 furniture, tennis courts, culverts and drains, septic tanks, hot beds, cisterns, well caps, posts, 
 pools, etc. Prominent in the list of literature is the valuable handbook shown on this page, 
 consisting of 112 freely illustrated pages, suggesting good plans and the most approved methods 
 of building. If the reader of this page doesn’t know the Alpha Cement Dealer in his community, 
 
 he should write direct to the Alpha Cement Company’s nearest office for a copy of this practical 
 handbook.

 Products 
 
 In giving of specifications for the use of 
 Medusa White Portland Cement for Stucco 
 it 1S necessary to mention another Medusa 
 Product, Medusa Integral Waterproofing. 
 The following specifications proceed on the 
 assumption that every builder wants to real- 
 ize the utmost from his investment. For 
 that reason Medusa 
 Waterproofing is rec- 
 ommended for use 
 with all gray Port- 
 land Cement work 
 and Medusa Water- 
 proofed White Ce- 
 ment is recommended 
 for use in the second 
 and third coats of 
 Stucco. 
 
 Uses for Medusa White 
 Portland Cement Other 
 Than Stucco 
 
 Medusa White Port- 
 land Cement will be 
 found valuable at many points in home con- 
 struction. Among them might be listed side- 
 walks, driveways, basement plaster coat, 
 interior plaster work, cast-stone trim and 
 garden furniture, mortar for laying up 
 tile in bath rooms, mortar for laving up 
 incidental stone or brickwork such as 
 chimneys or entrance-ways, etc. ‘These uses 
 will suggest many more where the stainless 
 qualities of Medusa White Portland Cement 
 will prove valuable. 
 
 Fundamental Rules for the Production of Good 
 Stucco 
 
 (a) Use proper proportions and carefully selected 
 sand and aggregates of correct fineness. 
 
 (b) If an absorbent base, such as hollow tile, con- 
 erete block or brick is used, it must be sprinkled with 
 water to the point of saturation before applying fresh 
 stucco. 
 
 (ec) <All stucco eoats—base or seratch coat, sec- 
 ond or brown coat, third or finish eoat—must be

 Medusa White Portland 
 Cement, Medusa Water- 
 proofing, Medusa Cement 
 Paint and Medusa Gray 
 Cement. 
 
 waterproof. This is just as important in the case 
 of the base coat as any other, since the base coat 
 must not possess sufficient ‘‘suction’’ or absorptive 
 tendency to take up the water from the fresh cement 
 plaster or stucco coat applied to it before the cement 
 has had an opportunity to hydrate, and the coat to 
 set. 
 
 (d) Each stucco coat must be sprinkled with 
 water before applying the next coat; and the finish 
 coat must be kept evenly 
 moist by sprinkling. In 
 hot weather the work must 
 be shielded from the direct 
 rays of the sun, and pro- 
 tected at all times from the 
 wind. 
 
 The wmportance of these 
 precautions cannot be over- 
 estimated. 
 
 Materials 
 
 The Cement for the 
 first coat (base or 
 scratch coat) shall be 
 standard gray Port- 
 land cement conform- 
 ing to the specifica- 
 tions of the American Society for Testing 
 Materials, with addition of Medusa Water- 
 proofing, powder or paste, to the amount of 
 2 per cent by weight of the cement used 
 (2 lbs. to the sack of cement). 
 
 The Cement for the second or brown 
 eoat and the third or finish coat, shall be 
 Medusa Waterproofed White Portland 
 Cement. 
 
 1. Fine Aggregate—Fine aggregate shall consist 
 of sand, or screenings from crushed stone or erushed 
 pebbles, evenly graded from fine to coarse, passing 
 when dry a No. 8 screen. Fine aggregates should 
 preferably be of silicious materials, clean, coarse, and 
 free from loam, vegetable, or other deleterious matter. 
 
 2. Hydrated Lime—Hydrated lime shall meet the 
 requirements of the standard specifications for hy- 
 drated lime of the American Society for Testing Ma- 
 terials, being used to add plasticity to the mixture 
 and to act as a water retainer, sufficient to perfect 
 erystallization, and to prevent too rapid drying out.

 Manufactured by 
 
 THE SANDUSKY CEMENT COMPANY, CLEVELAND, OHIO 
 
 (Continued from Preceding Page) 
 
 3. Coloring Matter—Only permanent, 
 lime-proof colors shall be used. Finish coat 
 containing colors shall be applied as dry as 
 possible to prevent separation of the colors. 
 (The use of Medusa Waterproofing will 
 prevent the gradual washing-out of a color 
 surface. ) 
 
 4. Water—Water shall be clean, free 
 from oil, acid, strong alkali or vegetable 
 matter. 
 
 Mortar Coats 
 
 Mortar—All coats shall be 1 part Water- 
 proofed Portland Cement and 3 parts fine 
 ageregate; hydrated lime for buttering pur- 
 poses, 10 per cent of the cement used. 
 
 Application—The plastering shall be ap- 
 plied with a steel trowel and carried on con- 
 tinually in one general direction without 
 allowing the plaster to dry at the edge. If it 
 is impossible to work the full width of the 
 wall at one time, the joining shall be at some 
 natural division of the surface, such as a 
 window or door. 
 
 The first coat shall thoroughly cover the 
 base on which it is applied and shall be trow- 
 eled enough to insure the best obtainable 
 bond. Before the coat has set it shall be 
 heavily cross-scratched with a saw-tooth 
 metal paddle or other suitable device to pro- 
 vide a strong mechanical key. 
 
 The first coat shall be thoroughly wet 
 down before the second coat is applied. The 
 second coat shall be applied, whenever pos- 
 sible, on the day following the application of 
 the scratch coat, and shall be brought to a 
 true and even surface by screening at inter- 
 vals not exceeding 5 feet, and by constant 
 use of strengthening rod. 
 
 When the second coat has stiffened suffi- 
 ciently, it shall be dry floated with a wood 
 float and lightly and evenly cross-scratched 
 to form a good mechanical bond for the 
 finish coat. 
 
 The day following the application of the 
 second coat, and for not less than three days 
 
 thereafter, the stueco must be thoroughly 
 sprayed at frequent intervals and kept from 
 drying out. 
 
 The finish coat shall be applied not less 
 than a week after the application of the 
 second coat. Methods of application will 
 hereinafter be described under ‘* Finish.” 
 
 Drying Out—The finish coat must not be 
 permitted to dry out rapidly, and adequate 
 precaution must be taken to make this cer- 
 tan, by sprinkling frequently after the mor- 
 tar is set hard enough to permit tt, or by 
 hanging wet burlap or similar material over 
 the surface, during hot weather. 
 
 Freezing—Stueco should not be applied 
 when the temperature is below 32 degrees F’., 
 nor under any condition such that ice or 
 frost may form on the surface of the wall. 
 
 Finishes 
 
 The architectural treatment of the house 
 should determine the exact finish given the 
 stucco. Lack of space here makes it 1mpos- 
 sible to us to discuss this important question. 
 However, we’ll gladly supply catalogs giving 
 complete information on the handling’ of 
 stucco. These may be had at any time, along 
 with definite information on any particular 
 job. 
 
 Service 
 
 Medusa Products are obtainable all over 
 the country from leading building materials 
 dealers. If you are unable to locate your 
 Medusa dealer, we’ll gladly give you his 
 name and address. He will assist you on any 
 problem relating to stueco work and will 
 also be able to place in your hands Medusa 
 literature and catalogs covering the work 
 both with text and illustrations. 
 
 Service

 ice on Medusa Produets is obtainable from 
 two sources. At our offices, or from your 
 own local dealer—both stand ready and will- 
 ing to serve you at all times.

 What Is the Easiest Home to 
 Build and Sell? 
 
 A brick home, always. Building with 
 brick requires practically no equipment, 
 less labor, and involves fewer delays. A 
 thousand brick per day is a fair average 
 for one man to lay. 
 
 Selling a brick home is always easy 
 because people want such homes. Feature 
 the 100% brick home, and thereby cash 
 in on the advertising of this Association. 
 Make it your advertising. 
 
 What Is Brick? 
 
 Genuine brick is made by burning clay 
 until everything decayable or burnable 
 has been burned out. Brick is the near- 
 est approach to an everlasting material 
 made by man. 
 
 What Is a Brick Home? 
 
 One that is 100% brickwork—brick 
 footings, basement or foundation walls, 
 side walls, chimneys, fireplaces, porches, 
 and steps. There is no substitute for 
 brick of burned clay, nor is there any 
 economy, in first cost or upkeep, in using 
 anything but genuine brick throughout. 
 
 Why Is a Brick Home Best? 
 
 Primarily because it costs almost noth- 
 ing to maintain. Brick requires no paint, 
 has a resale value often greater than its 
 original cost, and its beauty grows as 
 time and weather mellow the colors in 
 the burned clay. 
 
 Then, too, brick is easily and quickly 
 handled. The mason quickly lays it into 
 a wall unrivaled for strength and _ sta- 
 bility. Being built of small bonded units the load is quickly 
 transmitted over a large area. No special sizes or shapes are 
 required for corners, jambs, etc. And brick is always obtain- 
 able from a local manufacturer. 
 
 What Does a Brick Home Cost? 
 
 As little or as much as you want to spend. Your brick home 
 may actually cost less than frame. The finest brickwork 
 throughout should cost only $400 to $500 more. Four types 
 of brick walls have been developed to give you a 100% brick 
 home at almost any price.

 The Finest Solid Wall 
 
 You can build an ordinary six room 
 house of solid brickwork for only $400 or 
 $500 more than for frame. This small 
 added cost is repaid many times in higher 
 resale value and the lack of painting. 
 Compared to other solid walls, those of 
 brick cost less, last longer, look better, 
 and give more satisfaction. 
 
 The Finest Hollow Walls 
 
 At a cost actually less than for other 
 types of hollow walls, you can build with 
 brick. And your brick hollow wall is 
 highest in strength, most resistant to fire, 
 and costs less to maintain. Brick hollow 
 walls are built 8 or 12 im. thick, as de- 
 sired. They have the same distinctive 
 appearance as all real brickwork. 
 
 The Economy Wall 
 
 At a cost far less than other types of 
 masonry, and often less than frame, you 
 ean build the Economy Brick Wall. For 
 bungalows, small homes, and other light 
 construction, this wall gives you, at no 
 extra cost, the lasting economy of real 
 brickwork.

 NOTES 
 
 1. In case two or more kinds of brick, bonds, or joinings 
 
 are used on exterior or interior surfaces, simply re- 
 
 peat the clauses as required. 
 
 The backs of all parapets, and other like surfaces ex- 
 
 posed to view, should be of the same face brick as speci- 
 
 fied for adjoming walls. 
 
 3. The standard sizes of face brick as established by The 
 American Face Brick Association are approximately 214x 
 8x3% in. for rough and 24%4,x8x3% in. for smooth brick. 
 In laying out «face brick work it is essential that the 
 architect’ ascertain the exact size of the brick to be 
 used before the drawings are made. 
 
 4. As such surfaces. are generally subject to snow drifts, 
 an extra hard brick is necessary to resist action of frost. 
 
 5. For % in. to % in. joints, use sand that will pass 
 
 we) 
 
 passing a slightly finer mesh. For wider joints use tor- 
 pedo sand, gravel, or crushed stone screenings, depending 
 on width of joint. Colored sand or colored stone screen- 
 ings may be used for colored joints. For white joints use 
 pure white silica sand; or marble dust, either of which 
 is furnished on the market in bags. In case cement mor- 
 tar is used, a white cement is necessary. 
 
 6. Recommended, except in special cases, for all exterior 
 
 work. 
 
 Amount and method of mixing should follow the recom- 
 
 mendations of the manufacturer, unless individual experi- 
 
 ence has taught otherwise. Note that amount differs with 
 size of joint. 
 
 8. When bricks are made with a depression, a very thin 
 
 joint may be secured by spreading the usual mortar bed. 
 
 In dry warm weather, non-vitreous brick may be wetted 
 
 before laying, as experience dictates. 
 
 10. Variations of jointing are possible in the same job 
 such as raked horizontal with flush vertical joints, wide 
 horizontal with narrow vertical joints, flush joints in 
 panels with raked joints in bordering parts, ete., when 
 special shadow effects in the texture of the wall are 
 desired. 
 
 11. Number of headers depends on bonds used and require- 
 ments of local ordinances.

 furnished in light brown, medium and 
 light orange tones. As is the case of the 
 Midvale Buffs, they are vertically scored, 
 regular in size and straight mechanically.

 Produced in smooth, vertical and matt 
 textures and in uniform shades. These 
 bricks have just a touch of grey in the

 we have it here in Newcomerstown Buffs. 
 Readily adaptable for both interior and 
 exterior use. 
 
 “Newcomerstown Greys” :

 a medium grey shade, meeting the re- 
 quirements of the builder that desires 
 something between the reds and the buffs.

 both exterior and interior use.

 composition. They are the product of a fine grade of fire-clay

 marble to dust. 
 
 We manufacture Standards, Romans, Normans and Shapes 
 in seven different colors ranging from an old ivory to a deep 
 bronze. No other Flashed Brick on the market approximates 
 the Ironclay in delicacy and beauty of color,

WBC Brand Clay Products 
 
 Manufactured by 
 
 WESTERN BRICK COMPANY Danville, Minois 
 
 Member, American Face Brick Association 
 
 Products 
 
 The WBC line covers a wide range 
 of clay and shale products, including 
 face brick and common brick. 
 
 WBC Face Brick has for many 
 years had a wide distribution among dealers 
 in the Middle West and has during the last 
 few years been extensively used in the East 
 and South. The line includes a variety of 
 popular and distinctive surface textures in 
 the buff, brown and red color ranges. The 
 leading numbers are: 
 
 WBC HamMered TEXTURE — Resembles 
 the beautiful texture of hammered metals. 
 It is a highly finished, mechanically perfect 
 brick, suitable for both interior and ex- 
 terior work. The face is so thoroughly 
 impervious and the 
 indentations so shght 
 that rain will readily 
 wash it clean, vet the 
 texture is sufficient 
 to deepen and soften 
 the color. This tex- 
 ture is protected by 
 basic patents. Made 
 in every shade from 
 hght buff, through tans and reds to almost 
 black. 
 
 WBC Stipptep Mixture—Another exclu- 
 sive and distinctive WBC texture that has 
 increased in popularity year after year. 
 All grain and lines are eliminated, the tex- 
 ture consisting of small indentations that 
 give a rich, velvety effect. The color range 
 is complete, including every desirable shade. 
 
 WBC VEETEX is a regularly scored, 
 mechanically perfect, vertical texture brick, 
 standard in every way. Produced in the 
 bruliant reds and browns of the shale 
 colors. 
 
 WBC Marte Texture—Similar to orig- 
 inal textures or rough surface brick, but re- 
 fined and highly developed. Made in the 
 buff, tan and brown ranges. <A big seller in 
 the medium-price field. 
 
 WBC Emprre—The charm of this texture lies in its 
 variety and ruggedness. It is bold and gives a won- 
 derful tone and depth to the red and brown colors. 
 A very popular, medium-priced Face Brick. 
 
 Trade-Mark 
 
 WBC Hammered Texture 
 
 WBC CtorstTErs have a smooth sur- 
 face but are treated, in the process of 
 manufacture, to eliminate all harsh 
 glaze and to deepen and soften the 
 color. Their quality, color effect and 
 durability, together with their fair price, 
 make them the best value for the cost. 
 Long a favorite and a big seller. It is only 
 through big production that this brick can 
 be produced at its present price. Made in 
 reds and browns. <A big winner. 
 
 WBC Common Brick is sorted to three 
 grades: 
 
 Dark Mediums — Thoroughly vitrified, 
 with a low absorption, high crushing and 
 cross breaking strength. Recommended for 
 foundations, or any work where 
 exceptional strength 
 is required. Not se- 
 lected for color but 
 only for strength 
 and absorption. 
 
 Red Mediums — A 
 general _ purpose 
 brick, suitable for 
 any ordinary foun- 
 dation or backing up 
 work; an excellent brick for the dealer to 
 carry in stock. 
 
 Inght Mediwms—Suitable for inside and back-up 
 
 work only; not recommended or suggested where 
 exposed to the weather. 
 
 sewers 
 
 Facilities and Service 
 
 It will be apparent from this listing of 
 WBC products, that the Western Brick 
 Company is in a position to be of special 
 service to Contractors and Dealers. In the 
 first place, the Company can supply all the 
 clay products needed for a job—for foun- 
 dations, for wall backing and for wall sur- 
 face. In the second place, the wide range 
 of WBC Face Brick, in colors, textures and 
 price takes care of all the requirements for 
 Contractor or Dealer. 
 
 The large production of the Western Brick Com- 
 pany—135,000,000 annually—means prompt service 
 at all times; and the stability of the Company means 
 consistency of production and the ability of the Con- 
 tractor and Dealer to get the particular brick he 
 wants, year after year. 
 
 More detailed information about WBC products 
 will be gladly furnished to Contractors and Dealers

 Paint—None needed—Hoosier Hollow Giant Brix are ab-

 Dry Wall—Because of the air spaces and flint-like hard- 
 ness of the Brix. Moisture cannot pass through the Brix 
 and if mortar is spread on inner and outer edges leaving 
 a 2-inch space in center there will be no capillary attraction 
 through mortar. ; 
 
 Heat Insulation—No insulating material needed when you 
 build with Hoosierr Hollow Giant Brix—the dead air spaces 
 provide the most efficient heat insulation known. A cool 
 house in summer and one that can be economically heated 
 “in winter.

Clinton Mortar Colors 
 
 Made since 1887 by 
 
 THE CLINTON METALLIC PAINT COMPANY

 Products 
 
 For the past 38 years, The Clinton Metallic 
 Paint Company has been making a wide va- 
 riety of mortar colors. In addition, they make 
 metallic paints and roof cement. To the lead- 
 ing architects and building contractors, as well 
 as to thousands of home owners, the name of 
 **Clinton’’ has come to mean exceptional de- 
 pendability and satisfaction. 
 Colors always have been noted for their per- 
 manence and uniformity. 
 
 1/5 of Your Brickwork Is Mortar 
 
 Many people are somewhat surprised when told that the 
 mortar joint in a brick wall constitutes anywhere from 1/6 to 
 nearly 1/4 of the entire surface of the wall—depending upon 
 the bond, or arrangement, of the bricks. Knowing this, the 
 matter of mortar is not dismissed as it used to be, with an air 
 of indifference as though of small consequence. For its im- 
 portance from the standpoint of beauty, as well as utility, is 
 recognized by all who have made a really broad study of the 
 planning and erection of buildings, 
 
 Colors. 
 
 The Coloring of Mortar 
 
 The present popularity of colored mortar in brick-walled 
 buildings is no passing vogue. It has been used for years and 
 the striking improvement that it can make in the appearance 
 of a structure has developed it from the experimental stage of 
 years ago to a general modern practice. 
 
 A plain, uncolored mortar joint rarely, if ever, increases the 
 natural beauty of a brick structure. More often than not it 
 actually mars the general effectiveness of carefully selected 
 brick and, unfortunately, the condition can not be remedied 
 once the wall is laid. 
 
 Once the beautiful effects obtainable with Clinton Mortar 
 Colors are seen in a finished building, the very shght economy 
 of using plain mortar is hard to justify. 
 
 Enhances Beauty of Brickwork 
 
 The distinctive beauty of old brick homes both in America 
 and abroad has long been a subject of interest and study to 
 
 prominent architects and building contractors. And there is 
 no concealing the important contribution given it by mortar, 
 colored by aging, slightly tinted sands that happened to be 
 available or in some cases by the actual mixing of colors with 
 the mortar. 
 
 The significant thing is that much the same effects can be 
 obtained today, but in a far greater variety, through the use 
 of Clinton Mortar Colors. And not only on the outside sur- 
 faces of your building, but on the interior brickwork of fire- 
 places and chimneys as well. Brick surfaces that would other- 
 wise be commonplace can be endowed with the lasting charm of 
 attractively blended colors by giving careful attention to both 
 mortar and brick. 
 
 Increases Value of Your House = 
 
 It can be honestly said that there are few items in the con- 
 struction of a house which yield so much satisfaction: and 
 value in proportion to their cost as the specification of a Clin- 
 ton color for the mortar. Judiciously used, it gives the house 
 a visible and permanent auset that is simply lost by the use of 
 uncolored mortar. 
 
 Far-sighted building contractors recognize this and, more 
 and more, houses built to be sold are being given the unde- 
 niable advantage of colored mortar joints. And this is equally 
 true of houses built under the direction of their permanent 
 owners. lor the amount of satisfaction and contentment which 
 the finished home affords constitutes the greatest part of its 
 value to the owner. 
 
 To be sure of a thoroughly 
 are dependable Mortar Color look 
 Clinton Mortar for this yellow label, which 
 appears upon all bags or bar- 
 
 rels containing Clinton Mortar 
 
 It is obvious, of course, from an investment 
 standpoint as well as that of enduring beauty, 
 that the mortar colors must be permanent be- 
 yond question. Clinton Mortar Colors are 
 absolutely sun and rain fast. 
 
 Variety of Clinton Mortar Colors 
 
 These standard mortar colors are available in 
 a wide range of shades that offer the home 
 builder the broadest possible opportunity for 
 making a selection. From a rich, mellow buft 
 they range through warm browns, olive green 
 and chocolates to the deepest red and blackest black. 
 
 The colors used alone in varying quantities or mixed with 
 one another make possible almost any effect from pearl gray 
 tones, (produced by using a very little black) or warm aged 
 hues, (obtained by using a small amount of buff) to the most 
 striking of tones which can be obtained by using these col- 
 ors in the quantities specified for them. The list of genuine 
 Clinton colors is given in a paragraph on following page. 
 
 Permanence and Uniformity Vital 
 
 Inasmuch as the mortar joint is exposed to varying degrees of 
 sunlight and weathering, the need for a permanent and uni- 
 form coloring medium is evident. Clinton Mortar Colors are 
 mineral colors and as permanent as the colors of natural rock. 
 Standardized methods of production and rigid laboratory tests 
 keep them absolutely uniform, not only from shipment to 
 shipment but from year to year. The full importance of this 
 is apparent when the exact duplication of a wall of brick with 
 colored mortar joints is desired, often many years after- 
 wards. « 
 
 Selecting Your Mortar Color 
 
 You will note that the first three colored panels shown here- 
 with all have identically the same shades and arrangement of 
 brick. The striking difference in the appearance of each wall 
 as a whole was obtained entirely by the use of different Clin- 
 ton Mortar Colors. These three panels alone are impressive 
 evidence of the rather surprising variety of treatments that a 
 wall can be given through the use of Clinton Mortar Colors. 
 
 In order to help in a choice of the proper Clinton color to 
 use with the brick you have selected, we have devised the Clin- 
 ton Mortar Color Experimenter. This consists of a number of 
 strips of wall board 1% inch thick, tinted along the edges to 
 reproduce the appearance of colored mortars. By using these, 
 brick panels can be built up and studied with the various col- 
 ored strips without the use of actual mortar. 
 
 Every Clinton Mortar Color dealer has one of these experi- 
 menters for the convenience of his customers. 
 
 Test Panels Advisable 
 
 After selecting a Clinton Mortar Color with the aid of our 
 experimenter, a test panel of the brick and colored mortar 
 should be set up out of doors before work on the walls is 
 actually begun. Local variations in the color of sand and 
 cement often make a slight change in the amount of mortar 
 color used desirable. 
 
 Test panels should be allowed to stand for a few days before 
 a final decision is made, to give the mortar ample opportunity 
 to dry out and attain its permanent color. The mortar when 
 wet is deeper in shade. 
 
 Warning—Test panels should be of the same thickness as 
 the finished wall and should be allowed to dry naturally as 
 under working conditions. They should be backed with mortar 
 so that drying may be from the surface exposed in actual con- 
 struction. 
 
 Directions for Using Clinton Mortar Colors 
 To get a mortar joint of intense color it is advisable to use 
 
 approximately 100 Ibs. of dry mortar color per 1000 brick laid 
 in running or common bond, with half-inch mortar joints. If

 mortar joints are wider or narrower, or if a bond requiring 
 more or less mortar per 1000 brick is used, the amount of 
 mortar color required per 1000 brick should be increased or 
 decreased proportionately. 
 
 Following are two formulas for mortar of deep intense 
 color: 
 
 Cement Mortar 
 
 Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 25 Ibs. 
 Portland cement tvbaor(d! eur tt.) 
 
 Sand 3 bags (3 cu. ft.) 
 Hydrated lime 149 sack 
 
 Mortar Colored with Clinton Double Strength Chocolate No, 402 
 
 The above is sufficient to lay approximately 250 brick in 
 running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints. 
 
 Cement Lime Mortar 
 
 Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 30 Ibs. 
 Portland cement 1 bueket (16 qts.) 
 Hydrated lime 1 bucket (16 qts.) 
 Sand 6 buckets (96 qts.) 
 The second formula is sufficient to lay approximately 300 
 brick in running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints. 
 As it is not always convenient to weigh the color on the 
 job, we tabulate below the various shades of Clinton Mortar 
 Color, showing in separate columns the num- 
 ber of quarts of dry Clinton Mortar Color 
 (struck measure) which are equivalent to 25 
 Ibs. and 30 Ibs.

 If a clear buff mortar is desired a cement- 
 lime mortar is recommended. Light colored 
 cement and sand also tend to make the color 
 of the mortar more brilliant. If a deep buff 
 mortar is desired it will be obtained most 
 readily by using a cement mortar with cement 
 and sand of a dark color. 
 
 Many contractors get good results with 
 smaller proportions of Clinton Mortar Colors 
 than those above recommended. This is pos- 
 sible if coarse sand is used and colors are 
 mixed, remixed, then mixed again. Experi- 
 ence, however, proves that the amounts of 
 color recommended will give good _ results 
 under all conditions and we can not assure 
 satisfaction if less color is used. Money 
 spent for a little extra color often more than 
 pays for itself, in power and wages saved at 
 the mixer and in the owner’s satisfaction with 
 the finished job. 
 
 How to Be Sure of Good Results 
 
 Mistaken attempts at economy and eareless- 
 ness in the use of mortar colors sometimes 
 cause dissatisfaction with the results. 
 
 Such disappointments are wholly unnecessary 
 and can be avoided if the formulas given are 
 followed and these precautions are observed: 
 
 (1) Choose a dependable brand—one you 
 know is uniform, permanent and of strong color- 
 ing power. Insist upon it. Do not accept a 
 substitute. Be sure it is delivered in the orig- 
 inal bags or barrels on the job.

 (2) Make up test panels before you start the job. Make 
 them as thick as the finished wall and back them with mortar 
 so that drying will be under normal building conditions. Let 
 dry thoroughly out of doors before deciding on the color. 
 Mortar dries out lighter than it appears when wet. 
 
 (3) Do not change mortar color brands in the middle of a 
 job. Some brands are weaker than others and of different 
 color tone. 
 
 (4) Do not, in the middle of a job, change the kinds of 
 lime, sand or cement used, especially if the mortar is light in 
 color, either gray or buff. 
 
 (5) Measure or weigh mortar material accord- 
 ing to directions. Do not guess. 
 
 (6) Mix the materials thoroughly. It is best 
 to mix the dry color, sand, hydrated lime and 
 cement before the water is added, and after the 
 water has been added mixing should continue 
 until the mass is absolutely free from spots or 
 streaks of color. Mixing can hardly be over- 
 done. 
 
 (7) If lump lime is used in place of hydrated 
 lime it must be thoroughly slaked and allowed to 
 cool at least 24 hours before being brought into 
 contact with the Mortar Color. Hot lime fades 
 color. 
 
 (8) Use Mortar as stiff as practical. Do not 
 use ‘‘sloppy’’ mortar. Keep batches as nearly 
 us possible at the same consistency throughout 
 the job. 
 
 (9) When laying brick with a 14-inch joint, 
 do not use amount of color recommended for a 
 %-inch joint or vice versa. Occasionally we find 
 masons still using for a 14-inch joint (which 
 requires twice as much mortar) only 50 pounds 
 of color per 1000 brick because that is the 
 amount they used when the 14-inch joint was in 
 common use. 
 
 (10) Because a certain number of quarts 
 of one color in a batch of mortar has given good 
 results, do not 
 use the same 
 number of 
 quarts of an- 
 other color and 
 expect good re- 
 sults. Bulk and 
 coloring power 
 are not the 
 same for differ- 
 ent colors, as 
 will be seen 
 from the table on opposite page. The sack of 
 Clinton Double Strength Chocolate No. 402 
 shown herewith is, for example, about half the 
 size of the sack of Clinton Double Strength 
 Black No. 800; yet each weighs the same and 
 each will color an equal quantity of mortar. In 
 coloring mortar, follow the exact direction for 
 the specific color wanted and all difficulties will 
 be avoided. 
 
 (11) If joints are to be raked, defer raking 
 until mortar has began to set. This, together 
 with working mortar as dry as possible, will 
 help to prevent efflorescence—the appearance of 
 a white scum upon the mortar. 
 
 (12) If you do have efflorescence, do not 
 worry, and do not blame the mortar color. It 
 is caused by water soluble salts in the cement, 
 lime, sand or water, that are brought to the 
 surface by the water and left there when the 
 mortar dries. It is just as common on plain 
 mortar joints as on color joints, though it is not 
 always so clearly visible. Clinton Mortar Colors 
 absolutely do not cause efflorescence, being en- 
 tirely free from water soluble salts. 
 
 When mortar is used as dry as possible these 
 salts do not come to the surface nearly as much 
 as when a ‘‘sloppy’’ mortar is used. When 
 joints are raked after the mortar has begun to 
 set this efflorescence or scum is removed and 
 usually does not appear again. 
 
 In almost every case the action of rain will in time remove 
 efflorescence. If, however, it is desired to remove it promptly, 
 the surface of the mortar may be scrubbed with a wire brush; 
 or a solution consisting of one part muriatic acid to not less 
 than twenty parts water may be apphed as a wash. After 
 washing the wall with this solution be sure to wash it down 
 again with water to remove surplus acid. 
 
 Remember: The man who measures and who mixes the mortar 
 holds one of the most responsible positions on the job. Make 
 him realize this responsibility and it will save a world of 
 trouble and help to insure satisfactory results.

 Coloring of Stucco 
 
 The fact that stucco may be tinted has added much to its 
 popularity as a facing material. By use of various Clinton 
 Mortar Colors, it is possible to color stucco in many pleasing 
 tones. 
 
 Coloring of rough surfaced stucco is recommended without. 
 
 qualification. The color lends a rich warmth that ordinary 
 gray stucco does not possess. Its use offers no difficulties and 
 brings no disappointments if specifications are followed with 
 care. 
 
 In smooth finished stueco the color follows the trowel or 
 float, giving a surface of somewhat irregular or mottled 
 appearance. Many architects consider that this increases the 
 interest of the finished wall and improves the effect. But 
 those whose minds are fixed upon a wall of unbroken color 
 uniformity are advised before using it to study the effects that 
 color gives in smooth finished stucco. 
 
 Irregularity and non-uniformity in stucco are increasingly 
 popular. This is evidenced by the large number of jobs where 
 the sweep of the trowel is emphasized and where its traces 
 add to the interest of the wall surface. 
 
 The following formula is suggested: 
 
 1 quart Clinton Mortar Color (Note 1) 
 1 quart hydrated lime (if desired) 
 10 quarts white portland cement (Note 2) 
 30 quarts sand. 
 
 This batch covers about 125 sq. ft. finish coat. Only the 
 finish coat need be colored. 
 
 Nore 1. We recommend the following Clinton Mortar Colors 
 as producing very pleasing shades when used in stucco as 
 per this formula. Approximate weight per quart (struck

 PANEL A 
 
 Duo- and Multi-colored Stucco 
 
 The popularity of duo- and multi-colored stucco, which is 
 being used so extensively in Southern Florida, is rapidly spread- 
 ing throughout the country. Clinton Mortar Colors and Cement 
 Colors are particularly well adapted to the coloring of stucco 
 of this type. 
 
 In duo- and multi-colored stucco work, the two ordinary base 
 coats are applied as usual and allowed time for setting. For 
 the finish coats, the following formula is suggested: 
 
 Sand 3 parts 
 White cement 1 part 
 Color M49 part (or volume equivalent to 10% of 
 
 volume of cement used.) 
 Lime (optional) 40 part 
 
 In order to secure pleasing tones of buff or yellow, a light 
 eolored yellowish sand is recommended and white portland 
 cement is essential. 
 
 The first colored coat should be applied approximately 
 %-ineh thick, with a smooth or sand finish. Blue and green 
 are popular for first colored coats. 
 
 The second colored coat may be applied almost immedi- 
 ately. It should be spatter-dashed with a whiskbroom, allow- 
 ing the first colored coat to show here and there at varying 
 intervals. Although the area of the second colored coat should 
 be somewhat greater than the final visible area of the first 
 colored coat, this exact proportion will depend upon individual 
 taste, size of building, and control of throwing spatter-dash. 
 
 The projections of the second colored coat should then be 
 smoothed down with a steel trowel held almost flat against 
 the surface. 
 
 An unlimited variety of pleasing color combinations may be 
 obtained in this type of stucco. Two panels of duo-colored 
 stucco thus prepared are illustrated below. For panel A the 
 first coat is colored with Clinton No, 1502 Green Cement Color, 
 the second coat with Clinton No. 717 Buff Mortar Color. For 
 panel B the first coat is colored with Clinton No. 1601 Blue 
 Cement Color, while the second coat is colored with Clinton 
 No. 600 Pompeiian Buff Mortar Color. 
 
 Working samples of Clinton Mortar Colors and Clinton 
 Cement Colors are willingly furnished on request.

 The Growing Popularity of Mortar Colors 
 
 The rapidly increasing demand for Mortar Colors from year 
 to year is the best indication of their increasing popularity. 
 This is only a natural consequence because they offer to the 
 architect and builder a wider range of color effects possible to 
 bring out the best in the present high grades of face brick. 
 The many different textures and colors in which the better 
 grades of face brick are now being made up in, call for a 
 judicious use of colors in order that the best effects and 
 proper color harmony can be obtained. Since, in an average 
 brick wall about 1/5 cf the face area is consumed by the 
 mortar joints, it stands to reason that the proper coloring of 
 the joints should receive as careful consideration as the selec- 
 tion of the brick. 
 
 Special Facilities of C. K. Williams & Co. 
 
 Cc. K. Williams & Co., produces its own Mortar, Cement and Stucco colors 
 in its own plants, and with a few minor exceptions, obtains its raw products from 
 its Owa mines and raw material deposits. For this purpose it has a highly special- 
 ized organization and a plant equipment consisting of 10 mines and raw material 
 deposits, and 14 color plants. 
 
 Anchor Brand Mortar, Cement, and Stucco .Colors, backed by forty-eight years 
 of experience of the world’s largest producer of mineral pigments, are the stand 
 ard of excellence in this line. The policy of the company since its inception 
 has been to preduce colors of maximum quality and uniformity. This can be done 
 only through absolute control of the cclor beginning with the crude ore in the 
 mine to the finished product in the hands of the dealer, an advantage of great- 
 est importance to the user. Anchor Brand Colors are highest in quality, there- 
 fore cheapest to use. 
 
 Directions for Using Anchor Brand Mortar Colors 
 
 Have the Anchor Brand Mortar Color brought to the job in the original pack- 
 ages and do not open until ready to be used. Sand, lime, and cement vary in 
 different localities and the proper amount of color ean therefore only be deter- 
 mined by experiment. For large. and important jobs we reommend the erection 
 of test panel to determine the exact amount of color to be used. These panels 
 should be laid up to the same thickness of the proposed wall and all the 
 materials should be the sam@ as are to be used in the final work. Please note 
 that colored mortar when it is still wet is darker in shade than when dry. Con- 
 sequently, the proper color of the joint will only be shown after it has set and 
 is thoroughly dry. If the joint is too Jight after it is dry use more color in the 
 mix. If too dark use _ less, 
 
 For further details and 
 literature, write to: 
 
 Mixing 
 
 Dry color, sand, hydrated lime and cement should be thor- 
 oughly mixed before water is added. Add water and continue 
 mixing until the mass is absolutely free from spots or streaks 
 of color. Mix the mortar as stiff as practicable and keep 
 batches as nearly as possible at the same consistency through- 
 out the job. The same proportions of ingredients should be 
 accurately maintained in all the batches. Do not change the 
 kinds of lime, sand, cement and color after the work is begun. 
 
 Opposite the accompanying brick panels are given typical 
 formulas for cement mortar with a lime content equal to 
 approximately 10 per cent of the cement by weight. It is 
 important that the lime be carefully weighed because it is a 
 strong white pigment and variations in quantity will cause a 
 corresponding variation in the shade of the mortar. If lump 
 lime is used instead of hydrated lime, it must be thoroughly 
 slaked and allowed to cool at least 24 hours before being 
 mixed with the Mortar Color. HOT LIME BLEACHES COLOR. 
 Furthermore, slaked lime which has been permitted to age 
 for a few days before mixing, makes a better mortar than 
 when used immediately. 
 
 Cleaning, Pointing and Raking Joints 
 
 When plasterers have left building, all surface brick and mortar should be 
 thoroughly cleaned by applying a solution containing not more than one part of 
 muriatic acid to 20 parts of water, using a stiff wire brush. Surface ‘should 
 then be rinsed with clean water. All defective joints should be carefully pointed 
 up at this time. If joints are to be raked, this should not be done until mortar 
 has begun to set. 
 
 Efflorescence—And How to Prevent It 
 
 If mortar is mixed stiff and raking of joints deferred until mortar has 
 begun to set, efflorescence will rarely occur. Should it develop, however, it 
 may be removed by scrubbing the mortar joints with the muriatic acid solution 
 mentioned in preceding paragraph. Efflorescence is in no way caused by the 
 Mortar Color. It is due to the occurrence of soluble salts in cement, sand, 
 lime, water or brick, and is just as common in plain mortar as in colored 
 mortar, though not so easily visible. 
 
 Anchor Brand Cement Colors 
 
 Anchor Brand Cement Colors are of very high quality, producing clear, bright 
 tones with a minimum of coloring material. They are used in floors, side- 
 walks, cast-stone work, roofing and floor tile, stucco, etec., and should not be 
 confused with Mortar Colors. 
 
 Tinted Floors Add to the Charm of a Home 
 
 Many beautiful effects in flooring can be obtained by the use of colored 
 cements and at a cost that makes a colored cement floor possible when more 
 expensive materials would be prohibitive on account of price.

Anchor Brand Mortar Colors, Cement Colors and Stucco Colors—(Continued) 
 
 When planning a home consider the use of colored cement 
 floors for porches, entrance halls, sun parlor, sleeping porch, 
 kitchen, breakfast alcove, laundry and sidewalks. The cost of 
 colored cement is but little more than plain cement while the 
 
 decorative effect adds greatly to the charm of the home. Be- 
 sides that, cement floors are more permanent, 
 How to Lay a Colored Cement Floor 
 
 The subfloor under colored cement topping should be laid 
 
 as usual, except that a somewhat drier mix should be used 
 and the concrete should be well tamped immediately after pour- 
 ing. One inch should be allowed for the top dressing which 
 should be laid immediately after the subfloor has been tamped 
 and leveled. 
 
 Mixing 
 
 For a one-inch top dressing take equal parts of a good grade 
 of cement and fine sharp sand, free from loam, or other im- 
 purities. To these add 5 percent, by weight, of the cement 
 color. That is to say, if you use 100 lbs. of sand and 100 lbs. 
 of cement (making 200 lbs. in all) add 10 lbs. of cement color. 
 
 Cement sand and color should be thoroughly mixed before 
 water is added. Only enough water should be used to make 
 a heavy paste, and the mixing should then be continued until 
 the mass is entirely free from spots or streaks of color. 
 
 Applying the Color Coat 
 
 While the subfioor is still moist, the top dressing should be 
 spread over it to a depth of one-half inch and troweled to work 
 the air out of the mass. Do not attempt to lay the full depth 
 of one-inch at once, but lay half-an-inch of top dressing first 
 and gradually build up to the proper level, troweling and 
 stroking each additional layer. 
 
 Use the stroke board to chop 
 properly mixed, will be too stiff to stroke in the usual way. 
 Do not use the trowel or final coat until all water on the 
 surface disappears. Remove any surplus cement with trowel 
 and level surface. Then wait until surface of cement becomes 
 dull and when this occurs finish by dusting lightly with clear 
 dry poviant and 10 percent of the cement color, thoroughly 
 mixed. 
 
 the surface, as the mass, if

 Subsequent Treatment 
 
 The permanence of cement is greatly increased by slow 
 setting. To insure this, sprinkle saw dust on floor to a depth 
 of 2 inches as soon as top dressing is sufficiently set to pre- 
 
 vent sawdust from sticking. Moisten sawdust with water and 
 
 keep it moist for at least 2 weeks. 
 
 At the end of this period the sawdust should be removed 
 
 and floor washed with linseed oil soap, using a wire brush if 
 necessary to remove dirt and stains. When clean and dry, 
 
 spread a 2-inch layer of dry sawdust over the floor and let this 
 remain as a protective covering until the house is finished. 
 
 Just before floor is to be put into use remove sawdust, 
 sweep well, and polish floor with some good floor wax applied 
 according to manufacturer’s directions. The result of follow- 
 ing these directions will be a beautiful, permanent and sani- 
 tary floor. 
 
 The Tile Effect 
 
 To secure the tile effect in colored cement floors lay the top 
 dressing as above directed and wait 48 hours until surface 
 has taken the initial set. Then cut surface to a depth of \- 
 inch with a three-cornered file sharpened to a diamond point, 
 so as to produce the tile effect in the desired pattern. Do not 
 attempt to mark off tile pattern while cement is in a plastic 
 state as this is sure to result in ragged edges.

 Hollow: Building Tile with Stucco Exterior 
 
 The Product 
 
 Hollow Building Tile is the youngest and 
 fastest growing member of the family of 
 burnt clay products used as a basic building 
 material. It is manufactured generally by 
 the high standards set by the Bureau of 
 Standards of the U. 8. Government in ¢o- 
 operation with the Hollow Building Tile 
 Association and its members. 
 
 For Moderate Cost Homes 
 
 The inherent values of Hollow Tile Con- 
 struction make it the ideal material for the 
 building of homes costing as low as $2,500.00 
 and for the price range from $2,500.00 to 
 $15,000.00. In higher cost homes ranging 
 from $15,000.00 to $100,000.00 or more Hol- 
 low Tile is an acknowledged leader and the 
 same desirable qualities apply equally to 
 moderate cost or high cost residences. 
 
 Permanence 
 
 Hollow Tile construction is age defying, 
 age enduring, permanent. The Hollow Tile 
 walls will not sag, warp, crack, decay or dis-

 integrate in any way. Their load-bearing 
 capacity is more than ten times that required 
 in a residence. Homes of Hollow Tile will 
 provide comfort, safety and satisfaction for 
 generation after generation. The invest- 
 ment and resale value is sustained for long 
 periods of time. 
 
 Maintenance 
 
 Upkeep is reduced to a minimum for there are no 
 repairs and painting is for trim only. The air spaces 
 sealed up in the Hollow Tile walls provide supericr 
 insulation against the penetration of heat, cold or 
 moisture. Heating costs are the lowest, for Hollow 
 Tile homes are warmer in winter as well as cooler 
 in summer. Additions and enlargements are made 
 with the minimum of time, difficulty and expense. 
 It is the most economical type of home to build or to 
 own. 
 
 Safety 
 
 Owners of Hollow Tile homes have assurance of 
 exceptional protection against the ravages of the ele- 
 ments for Hollow Tile homes staunchly withstand 
 storm and shock. Protection against fire loss for the 
 Hollow Tile walls cannot burn. In addition home 
 owners have the satisfaction of knowing that unusual 
 healthful, sanitary conditions are constantly main- 
 tained. 
 
 Beauty 
 
 Charm and distinction are not sacrificed as the 
 sturdy, permanent Hollow Tile construction adds to 
 the beauty of line and design created by architectural 
 genius. The material is so simple and flexible in use 
 that it aids in the expression of individuality. The 
 exterior may be Face Tile with its broad color range, 
 face brick or stueco, according to architectural design 
 or individual preference.

 Building Contractors 
 
 The live, aggressive, prosperous building 
 contractor knows that owner satisfaction is 
 one of the greatest assets in his business. No 
 other method of. home building produces 
 ereater owner satisfaction than is directly 
 traceable to Hollow Tile Construction. 
 
 Amazing Economies 
 
 Greater than the remarkable economy to 
 the home owner in maintained values and 
 low upkeep, is the economies present in 
 actual construction. The large units of 
 Hollow Tile save in labor cost—in quantity 
 of mortar—for one tile unit takes the place 
 of six to fourteen brick according to size of 
 unit. That means not only approximately 
 50% saving in labor and material but a far 
 greater saving in speeding up construction, 
 less interest charges, less overhead, and 
 quicker turnover. It means also increased 
 volume of business with the same capital 
 investment. 
 
 Greater Values 
 
 Every day the home investor is demand- 
 ing more and more for his money. Hollow 
 Tile, the most economical form of perma- 
 nent construction, gives the actual values 
 demanded and the first cost is often less than 
 for common, perishable, inflammable con- 
 struction. That a Hollow Tile home has 
 greater market value has been demonstrated 
 time after time in all sections of the nation.

 to allow the brick work or other facing to be bonded into the Natco 
 Header Tile with full header bond at any number of courses 
 desired. The completed walls are light, thoroughly bonded, and 
 at the same time are warmer and dryer than solid masonry walls, 
 which rarely become thoroughly dry.

 Home Satisfaction In Concrete Masonry 
 
 Since time began, home owning and building have marched 
 side by side with man’s upward progress. Always the 
 tendency has been toward better, more permanent, more 
 beautiful homes. 
 
 It is only natural therefore to find that masonry has 
 usually been the preferred building material. In our own 
 civilization masonry houses have always represented the 
 “best in home construction. Today the trend is noticeably 
 to permanent homes; permanence as expressed through the 
 use of masonry. 
 
 Of all the varied forms of masonry construction, con- 
 crete has enjoyed the most phenomenal popularity. Con. 
 crete block, tile and brick homes today are attracting the 
 best thought and building skill of the land. The result isa 
 type of house typically American, more permanent, more 
 beautiful, more satisfying than even the masonry Construc- 
 tion of older nations. 
 
 Your home, the house you build, must today measure 
 up to new standards of excellence. If it is to express 
 the best thought in home construction, it must be com- 
 fortable, beautiful and convenient. 
 
 How intimate to the new thought in home building is 
 concrete masonry is readily demonstrated by the fact that 
 the most pretentious homes and homes the man of only 
 moderate circumstances alike are being built of this mate-

 The Economy of Concrete Masonry 
 
 It is a well known maxim that if a man ean afford a 
 home at all, he can best afford a home which is permanent. 
 Even for the builder with only a limited amount of money 
 to spend the permanent house will be most economical in 
 the long run. Such a type of construction is concrete ma- 
 sonry. 
 
 The first cost of the concrete masonry house is little, if 
 any, higher than the cost of a house built of less enduring 
 materials. Every builder knows that first cost is not the last 
 eost of the house. Concrete masonry represents true econ- 
 omy since it combines low first cost and the practical elimi- 
 nation of upkeep expense. 
 
 Concrete Masonry Is Adaptable 
 
 The spread of the concrete masonry house has known no 
 limitations of climate or locality. Entire communities have 
 been built of concrete masonry in the northernmost tier of 
 states where winters are prolonged and changes of tempera- 
 ture are rapid; the most severe test of a building material. 
 
 Equally noteworthy is the wide adoption of concrete ma- 
 sonry to the climate of the southern states where tempera- 
 tures go high and where drying winds and torrential rains 
 exact their toll on materials. It is interesting to note that 
 concrete masonry and portland cement stucco is the accepted 
 building material in Florida. And so it is in California. 
 
 The Advantages of Concrete Masonry 
 
 Concrete masonry, whether it be concrete block or tile 
 has brought a new type of wall construction into being. 
 That type is the wall having air spaces incorporated within 
 
 it. The advantage of this type of construction lies in the Concrete Block with rough texture surfaces provide a backing ie 
 fact that the dead air space within the wall insulates the paich Boe ee Cope eo a couecueaes anaenres at pene

 wall to passage of heat and cold. The concrete masonry 
 house is cool in summer; warm and easily heated in winter. 
 
 The preference for this type of construction has brought 
 forth many types of walls, but in concrete masonry these 
 air spaces are a part of each unit. When the unit is laid 
 up in the wall the air space is formed with the laying of 
 the block or tile. 
 
 Many builders of concrete masonry do not furr the in- 
 terior walls as the insulating air space prevents passage 
 of moisture. This effects further building economy. 
 
 Strength Is Important 
 To withstand the effects of time and the elements the 
 materials going into the walls of a house must possess 
 strength. In concrete masonry construction this strength 
 is inherent in the material. Concrete masonry walls do not 
 depend upon bracing of construction features for strength 
 for once laid the wall becomes practically monolithic, that 
 
 is possessed of the strength of a solid wall. 
 
 Nothing Left to Chance 
 Those construction features which spell the difference be- 
 tween excellent and passable building are not left to ehance 
 when you build with concrete masonry. Construction detail 
 are already provided for with the adoption of this material. 
 For example joist block are special units. Provision is ~ 
 made in these blocks for placing the joists and there is no 
 chance for joist movement or mediocre construction which 
 deteriorates with time.

 use of special jamb block, properly recessed to enclosed ; : ‘

 Concrete Masonry Is Firesafe 
 
 More and more attention is being given today to the 
 matter of fire safety. Building codes are compelling it, good 
 construction is demanding it. The fire safety of concrete 
 masonry is well known. Hundreds of tests and actual 
 fires have shown that this material possesses a very high 
 degree of protection. Occupants of the concrete masonry 
 house know that their home is as fire resistive as it is 
 possible to build. And they do not pay more for this added 
 security, in fact they pay less, for their insurance rates 
 are lowered. 
 
 Low Depreciation Is Important 
 
 Most distressing to the home owner is the knowledge 
 that his house is depreciating. The fall of a step, the 
 decadence of the exterior, the general loosening of the 
 frame and the interior walls and fixtures bring to mind 
 the fact that the house is growing old. 
 
 To build against this is the aim of every owner. With 
 the use of concrete masonry, whether block, brick or tile 
 depreciation is eliminated for this type of house never grows 
 old. Years of usage, years of action by the elements, only 
 serve to mellow and make the concrete house stronger, 
 for this material is permanent. 
 
 This permanence makes the resale value of the house 
 high. Permanence insures that the house will never pre- 
 sent the run-down at the heel appearance so detrimental to a 
 sale. And high resale value makes home satisfaction more 
 assured. 
 
 Stucco Adds to the Beauty of Concrete Masonry 
 
 Side by side with the growing use of concrete masonry 
 has marched the advance of portland cement stucco. With 
 this material which forms itself as a part of the masonry 
 wall, the individual owner can express his own personality 
 through the use of one of the many varied textures or

 colors. There are no limitations to the variety of texture or 
 color other than the dictates of the architect and the owner. 
 
 Whatever the type or style of house built there is a tex- 
 ture and color which will enhance that beauty in line and 
 design. Stucco is a new art, it is typically American in 
 its adaptations and its beauties. Combining portland ce- 
 ment stucco with concrete masonry insures a house which 
 is out of the ordinary in appearance, permanent, fire safe, 
 and always beautiful. 
 
 Concrete Throughout 
 
 For the builder who seeks the ultimate in home construc- 
 tion the all-concrete house provides the maximum of com- 
 fort, permanence and safety. Concrete floors are noiseless, 
 everlasting, and are adaptable to nearly any sort of decora- 
 tive treatment. They can be covered with hard wood just as 
 an ordinary type of floor. 
 
 Conerete tile roofs are beautiful, permanent, and aside 
 from breakage through some exterior blow will last for 
 ever. Their color is manufactured in and never fades. 
 They are proof against the weather, safe from fire and 
 economical. 
 
 Essentially Modern 
 
 The concrete masonry house is essentially modern. For 
 congested urban districts it provides fire safety, beauty com- 
 parable with the very highest building practices, economy 
 and resale value. 
 
 For the builder in less closely settled areas the con- 
 crete masonry house provides safety against fire, is adapt- 
 able to all locations or settings, cool and warm and per- 
 manent. 
 
 Combined with portland cement stucco the concrete ma- 
 sonry house whether block, brick or tile represents a type 
 of house especially adopted to American standards of living 
 and expressing the best in home building thought.

 Patents and License 
 
 The manufacture, use and sale of 
 Straub “Cincrete’ Cinder Concrete 
 Building Units is lcensed under the 
 Francis J. Straub U. 8S. Patents 
 1,212,840 and 1,399,325 on Process and 
 Products. Other patents pending. 
 Patent No. 1,212,840 has been broadly sustained by 
 unanimous decision of U. 8. Court of Appeals. Respon- 
 sible parties will be licensed in open territories. 
 Advantages 
 
 Costs—These will vary according to local conditions, 
 dimensions of common brick, and 5 to 15% compared 
 but normally a saving in finished wall construction can 
 be figured from 25 to 40% compared to same wall 
 with clay tile. One 8x8x16-in. block displaces 12 bricks 
 and requires about one-quarter the mortar. Plastering 
 
 direct is recoramended. Other economies will be dis- : 
 
 covered under other subheadings. 
 
 Strength—Our licenses are required to manufac- 
 ture blocks having an average crushing strength of 800 
 Ibs. per sq. in. gross area, which is equivalent to approxi- 
 mately 1,200 lbs. per sq. net area. The ratio of unit 
 strength to wall strength of Cincrete blocks is from 57 to 
 76%. This is the highest of any known 
 masonry and in consequence carries a cor- 
 responding safety factor.

 Breakage—Breakage is negligible 
 and dumping from trucks is practiced

 Fireproof—The official tests, made for the National 
 Board of Fire Underwriters’ Laboratories, confirm the 
 many private tests and results of actual fires. We 
 claim there is no masonry material possessing equal 
 fire resisting and fire retardant properties. There is 
 no cracking or spalling under the most violent changes 
 of temperature as when water is turned on to a white 
 hot wall. See page 20 Underwriters’ Laboratories re- 
 port, Conwell Laboratory report on Reading fire test 
 and other data, for comparison with various types of 
 masonry. Cincrete units always re-usable after a 
 fire. Their loss of strength is negligible. They have 
 the lowest rate of heat conductivity of any 
 masonry, 
 
 Dampproof—The illustration below shows the 
 slight absorption and lack of capillarity after 48 hours’ 
 immersion. This unique quality is also of 
 importance in producing a stronger mortar 
 joint, the moisture is not drawn out of the 
 mortar as with brick or sand _ blocks. 
 For the same reason, stucco and 
 plaster retain full strength on Cin- 
 crete units and require no application 
 of water before mortar, plaster and 
 ‘ stucco is applhed. The initial suction 
 or absorption is rapid, but after a short 
 time ceases. This favorably affects win- 
 ter laying of Cincrete units.

“‘Cincrete’’ Cinder Concrete Building Units (Continued) 
 
 Non-conductor of Heat and Cold—Cincrete unit walls 
 never “sweat”; are rotproof and verminproof; no mold 
 forms, and decorations are never injured where plaster 
 has been applied direct to exterior walls in the severest 
 climate. Less fuel required to heat; cooler in sum- 
 mer. Ideal for icehouses, large refrigerators, refrigera- 
 tion plants, heating ovens, dry kilns, etc. 
 
 Stucco—the rough texture affords a perfect key for 
 plaster and stucco. The same coefficient of expan- 
 sion in base and stucco explains why stucco does not 
 erack and spall on Cincrete units. Ideal suction and 
 mechanical bond. 
 
 No Through Mortar Joints—A common fault of 
 other types of masonry is the through mortar joint, 
 which readily conducts moisture, heat and cold through 
 the wall. The cinder unit itself is a non-conductor, 
 not depending on the large air spaces as do other forms 
 of hollow masonry. 
 
 No Furring Required—Having the lowest  capil- 
 larity and conductivity of any masonry, furring and 
 lathing are not required. Stucco and plaster are applied 
 direct; one-third less plaster required on account of 
 omission of scratch coat and more uniform surface. 
 
 Weight of Wall—A cubic foot of completed wall 
 weighs less than any known masonry of equal strength. 
 
 Weight—Forty per cent lighter than standard hol- 
 low cement blocks; 60% lighter than brick, and 5 to 
 10% lighter than hollow clay tile. 
 
 Rapid Laying—Light weight, ‘uniformity, convenient 
 and small buttering surfaces compared to solid units, 
 contribute to easy, rapid and economical wall erection. 
 Buttering surfaces larger than clay tile, therefore, 
 stronger and more substantial ; less waste of mortar and 
 time in laying. 
 
 _ Nailing—As good as wood for nailing; holding power is 
 equal to yellow pine. Nails never rust. See Pittsburgh 
 Testing Laboratory report No. 48544. Wood grounds and 
 trim can be thoroughly secured by toenailing. Pipe hangers 
 
 and other supporting members can be readily secured by 
 means of lag screws, expansion bolts, ete. 
 
 MODEL HOUSE of the DETROIT NEWS 
 
 The exterior walls, constructed entirely of 
 Cincrete Units from foundation to roof cost only 
 5% more than frame construction. 400 dupli- 
 cates of this Model House have been built! 
 
 The house shown above was designed by a 
 committee of Detroit architects appointed by 
 the Michigan Chapter of the American Institute 
 of Architects. 
 
 It was erected under the auspices of the 
 Detroit News, as the central factor in their 
 “Better Homes Campaign,” organized by Major 
 Charles D. Kelley, of the News’ Homebuilding 
 Department. 
 
 The successful bidder for the construction 
 of the model house was required to erect at 
 least twenty replicas for private ownership, 
 should that many be required, at the same price 
 as the original. 
 
 Instead of the twenty houses hoped for, the 
 Model House inspired orders for nearly four 
 hundred houses from the public. 
 
 The half timbering and interior trim are 
 nailed directly to the Cincrete Block Walls, sav- 
 ing considerably in cost of construction. The 
 exterior walls, constructed entirely of Cincrete 
 Blocks from foundation to roof, cost only 5% 
 more than if built of frame. 
 
 This house is now the residence of Bert Thomas, creator 
 of “Mr. Straphanger” and cartoonist of the Detroit News. 
 
 Cutting—Cincrete units can be cut to size, chased and 
 channeled for pipe and conduits without fracture. 
 
 Corners—Details on this and previous page show several 
 methods, all retaining full insulating value. 
 
 Steel Sash Installation—Grooves are moulded into jamb 
 blocks to admit steel window frames. Two lintels to an 
 opening provide this advantage without cutting or chan- 
 neling. 
 
 Lintels—Reinforced lintels of cinder concrete proviae all 
 the advantages of strength, lightness, nail-ability and damp- 
 proofness. For standard sizes see Drawing No. 1. Specials 
 on order. 
 
 Sills—Precast cinder concrete sills have the advantages 
 of lightness, toughness and dampproofness. For standard 
 section see Drawing No. 1. Specials on order. 
 
 Details, Catalogues and Data—Each plant is in position 
 to submit details and give required information to architect 
 or engineer. Address the nearest plant or New York office.

 Eliminating Dwelling Fires 
 
 96% of all dwelling fires 
 originate on the interior. More 
 than 90% of these are traceable to the heating plant 
 or wiring in the basement. One home burns for every 
 four built in this country. Berloy Metal Lumber in 
 the first floor construction of dwellings eliminates all 
 possibility of loss from fire originating. in the basement. 
 
 Easily Erected © 
 
 In simplicity of design and ease of erection, Metal 
 Lumber rivals wood. ‘The construction consists of 
 pressed steel joists and studs used as load carrying 
 members, installed in conjunction with cement, con- 
 crete and plaster. A light 2 inch concrete fill used over 
 the joists and between nailing strips makes a fire-proof 
 floor without excess weight or waste of space. A %” 
 plaster ceiling may be applied on Berloy Metal Lath 
 attached directly to the bottoms of the joists by prongs 
 on the joists provided for this purpose. Metal Lumber 
 is light and easily handled, involving no high labor costs. 
 
 Erecting Procedure 
 
 Metal Lumber joists are easily handled by two men. 
 No contractor will have the slightest difficulty with the 
 construction. 
 
 The eight simple operations are as follows: 
 
 1. Installing light weight, easily handled joists at from 16 
 to 24 inches on centers, supported by wall or beam 
 bearings. 
 
 2. Lacing and nailing 1 inch 20 gauge galvanized steel 
 bridging to hold joists in position. (See picture below). 
 
 3. Nailing sheets of metal lath to tops of joists. 
 
 4. Nailing 2”x2” wood nailing strips to the tops of the joists. 
 
 5. Pouring a 2 inch concrete fill between sleepers. 
 
 6. Installing the floor finish. 
 
 Applying sheets of Berloy Ribplex to Metal Lumber floor 
 joists. No form work is necessary for concrete floor. Note 
 bridging which holds joists in position.

 nated. 
 
 7. Securing the ceiling lath to the bottom of the joists by 
 means of prongs. 
 
 8. Plastering the ceiling on the metal lath base. 
 
 No form work is required with Metal Lumber and 
 Metal Lath. No special equipment is needed for 
 handling. 
 
 The resulting floor and ceiling are fire-proof, sound- 
 proof, crack-proof and permanent, and the cost is very 
 reasonable. 
 
 No Difficulties for the Contractor 
 
 The erection of Berloy Metal Lumber involves no 
 problem for the contractor. Every piece comes cut to 
 fit and plainly marked to correspond with the working 
 drawings. It is merely necessary to place the joists, a 
 quick and easy operation, and proceed with the work. — 
 
 For Partitions 
 
 H-studs or channel studs of various gauges and 
 shapes are furnished for practically any carrying parti- 
 tion requirement. 
 
 For non-supporting partitions, a fire-proof, sound- 
 proof partition only 2 inches thick can be made by 
 applying Berloy Metal Lath to Berloy Cold-Rolled 
 Channels. A great saving in space is thus effected at 
 no sacrifice in strength. 
 
 Metal Lumber studs are supported and held in place 
 top at bottom by channel track to which they are 
 secured.

 Floors 
 
 Floors to be constructed of size and thickness of 
 pressed steel I-joists as shown on drawings, spaced as 
 indicated, and bridged laterally every one-third length 
 of span with 1-inch No. 20 gauge galvanized bridging. 
 This bridging to be secured by 3d nails driven into the 
 webs of the joists. On top of the joists, after bridging 
 has been applied, attach Berloy Ribplex or Berloy 
 Diamond Mesh Metal Lath, securing it by large head 
 nails driven into web of joists. Ceiling lath to be

 For Use With Metal Lumber 
 
 The use of metal lath is essential with metal lumber 
 construction, to obtain in full measure the fire-safety, 
 economy and low dead-load of this construction. 
 
 The various types of Berloy Metal Lath have been 
 designed specifically to meet all requirements of load 
 and joist spacing where Berloy Metal Lumber is used. 
 
 The application of the lath is a rapid and easy pro- 
 cess. The stiffness of Ribplex sheets eliminates sagging 
 when the concrete is placed, and does away with the 
 necessity for form work of any kind, providing all the 
 centering necessary without additional support. 
 
 Berloy %% inch Ribplex 
 
 Designed for use where Metal Lumber joists are spaced 
 from 19” to 24”. The ribs are 84 inches high, spaced 8 
 inches on centers. The ribs give great stiffness to the sheets. 
 34 inch Ribplex meets all ordinary requirements for floor 
 and partition construction. 
 
 Berloy 34 inch Ribplex 
 
 A heavy, stiff lath of great strength for use with ex- 
 ceptionally wide spacing of Metal Lumber joists. It is also 
 used in one method of solid partition construction and for 
 other purposes where great strength is required. 
 
 Berloy Diamond Mesh Metal Lath 
 
 Can be used satisfactorily where Metal Lumber joists 
 are spaced from 12 to 16 inches on centers, but its principal 
 function is in ceiling construction, whether the ceiling is 
 applied on pencil rods attached to the joists or suspended 
 on Berloy Cold Rolled Channels.. Diamond Mesh Lath is 
 easily formed and bent, and works out to excellent advant- 
 age in covering beams and other projections, below the 
 ceiling level.

 Architex Finish (Stucco) 
 
 Flint-Rock’s Architex Finish, best physically and 
 architecturally, satisfies the demand for color planning 
 of stucco in home construction. It has been created 
 because of the influx of Italian and Spanish architec- 
 tural design. It enables every architect and home 
 
 builder to fulfill his own individual taste. 
 
 ARCHITEX is a stucco finish coat in many beau- 
 tiful shades of color. It is accurately proportioned, 
 factory mixed and carefully tested. It will not crack, 
 craze, fade, discolor or mottle. It is waterproof. 
 
 ARCHITEX is readily worked in any desirable finish 
 or texture. 
 
 Reeommended Use—The recommended construction 
 for a new home lis: 
 First, KEYLOCK stucco base applied direct to studding 
 
 or over sheathing. 
 Second, FLINT-ROCK magnesite stucco in two coats 14 in. 
 thick. 
 Third, ARCHITEX FINISH in texture desired. 
 ARCHITEX can be used successfully over other types 
 of backing, brick, tile, block, etc. It is especially recom- 
 mended as a color coat over old brick or stucco which 
 has become dirty and weather beaten. 
 
 How to Apply Architex— 
 
 (1) Do not apply ARCHITEX when temperature is 
 below 32° or above 95° F. Work on shady side of 
 house as much as possible. 
 
 (2) Clean mortar box, tools, ete., carefully. 
 
 (3) Mix each 100 lbs. of ARCHITEX with 11 to 12 
 qts. of water. Allow mortar to approach initial 
 set or to toughen. Time will vary with temper- 
 ature. 
 
 (4) Wet down brown coat with mortar. 
 
 (5) Trowel on ARCHITEX not over 3/16 in. thick. 
 As it sets, float with addition of a little water, 
 using wooden float. This prevents cracks caused 
 by premature drying while setting. 
 
 (6) If other than float is desired, such as stipple, 
 sponge, etc., go over the surface after floating and 
 use enough material to obtain the desired texture. 
 
 (7) Splatter dashing with willows can be done directly 
 to brown coat. In this case, mix ARCHITEX 
 to a creamy consistency varying according to 
 roughness of effect desired. 
 
 (8) In hot weather ARCHITEX should be sprayed 
 lightly for several days after application.

 Flint-Rock All-Mineral Stucco 
 
 FLINT-ROCK stucco is an all-mineral oxy- 
 chloride cement of remarkable strength and dur- 
 ability. It is flexible and resilient, water and 
 fire resistant, and an excellent non-conductor of 
 heat. It creates an absolutely tight joint against 
 g, etc. A FLINT-ROCK home 
 minimizes cost of construction, heating and mainte- 
 nance. 
 
 the frames, trim, copin 
 
 Its formula being confined to only the very best ma- 
 terials of all-mineral nature, FLIN'T-ROCK is noted 
 for its durability. Crushed granite, very hard, gritty 
 and tenacious, is exclusively used as the filler in the 
 first coat of FLINT-ROCK. 
 
 Its Use—FLINT-ROCK is always applied in two 
 coats 14 in. thick. When it is used as a base for 
 ARCHITEX, the second coat is roughed or broomed 
 to give a better bonding surface. It is then allowed 
 to weather about 2 weeks before ARCHITEX is applied. 
 
 FLINT-ROCK granite dashes, all crushed at our 
 Ingomar plant, offer a wide range of very beautiful 
 dashed finishes. Our granite deposit and- crushing 
 facilities insure uniform color and size of our dashes 
 at all times. 
 
 Applications of Flint-Rock—Complete instructions 
 and specifications for preparation, mixing and applica- 
 tion will be furnished immediately on request. 
 
 . FLINT-ROCK is packed in heavy, waterproofed, 
 100-lb. bags. Sufficient magnesium chloride to mix is 
 furnished with each order. Its application is simple 
 and we will be glad to co-operate in drafting specific 
 specifications or instructions for application. 
 
 Granite Boulders, Dashes and Aggregates 
 
 We operate a large glacier granite boulder deposit. 
 Granites of every color imaginable are found here. These 
 are crushed in a wide range for stucco dashes, and, 
 being free from lime, very hard and lustrous in color, 
 are especially suited for this purpose. 
 
 Aggregates are used extensively for facing blocks and 
 cement products, for exposed surfacing of walks and 
 drives and as integral aggregates in concrete construc- 
 tion when subjected to heavy usage. 
 
 Granite boulders, when laid in walls, give excellent 
 strength of construction. Such homes are very beau- 
 tiful and distinctive, and the demand for these boulders 
 is steadily increasing.

KRAGSTONE — The Stucco Beautiful

 FACTORIES AT CHICAGO, ILL.—FLUSHING, N. Y.—OMAHA, NEB.

 Products 
 
 The products of this company are KRAGSTONE, a mag- 
 nesite stucco for exterior finish; and VELVETILHE, a mag- 
 nesite composition flooring, both of which have been very 
 widely used for residences, stores and offices, apartment 
 buildings, and institutions such as hospitals, ete. Descrip- 
 tive literature on use and application will be gladly 
 furnished to building contractors on request. 
 
 Kragstone—The Stucco Beautiful 
 
 Kragstone exterior stucco is a compound of various 
 minerals, such as pure -white sand, silica, long fibre 
 asbestos and pure calcined magnesite. The formulas upon 
 which KRAGSTONE has been manufactured for the last 
 15 years have been developed in our own laboratory and 
 are the culmination of years of experimentation. Every 
 lot of material purchased is tested by our own chemist to 
 maintain these high standards. No lime, gypsum or 
 Portland Cement is used in KRAGSTONE. 
 
 Characteristics of Kragstone 
 
 The outstanding characteristics of Kragstone are its 
 extraordinary strength, elasticity and adhesiveness. When 
 applied % inch thick over wood lath, metal lath, brick, tile 
 or other stucco base, it hardens into a very dense, durable 
 as well as a very beautiful finish. When correctly applied 
 it will not check or crack, bonding so closely to the 
 material over which it is applied that it becomes an 
 integral part of the stucco base itself. 
 
 Advantages Derived from Its Use 
 
 Among the advantages that result from the use of 
 KRAGSTONE in building construction, are lower cost than 
 any other type of construction except frame, and it com- 
 pares very favorably even with this. The up-keep of a 
 frame building, painting and repairs, more than offsets the 
 small additional cost for stucco. A KRAGSTONE home is 
 also much warmer in winter and cooler in summer, owing 
 to the high insulating qualities of the material and is also 
 a protection against fire, effecting a saving in insurance 
 rates. KRAGSTONE being a plaster practically seals all 
 cracks in a building and being water and frost-proof, 
 provides the qualities most desired in modern construction. 
 It can be applied at any time of the year in any climate, 
 
 but with magnesium chloride, which is a non-freezing and 
 fire-resisting chemical solution. This provides an all-year- 
 round building season for the contractor and offers great 
 possibilities for remodeling old buildings, as well as new 
 construction. Practically any finish may be secured from 
 the fancy trowel and float effect to the various dash 
 combinations, using colored stone in solid or mixed colors. 
 These dashes are thrown into the plastic stucco, which 
 upon setting holds them securely offering a very pleasing 
 effect. 
 
 A Better Stucco 
 
 KRAGSTONE has been specified in many large building 
 projects, among which is the Theodore Roosevelt Apart- 
 ments, New York City, the largest building in the world 
 of stucco. KRAGSTONE was specified only after exacting 
 competitive tests with all leading brands. 
 
 Covering Capacity 
 
 The covering capacity of KRAGSTONE Stucco will vary 
 according to the material over which it is applied. Over 
 wood lath spaced 4% inch, one ton of KRAGSTONE applied 
 in two coats, each one % inch thick, (the proper thickness), 
 will cover. approximately 65 square yards. Over metal lath 
 50 to 60 square yards; over brick or hollow tile 75 square 
 yards per ton. Stone dashes cover approximately 200 
 square yards per ton. All materials are sold by the ton, 
 shipped in 100-pound bags and can be readily mixed on 
 the job. 
 
 The Instruction Book 
 
 Our instruction book covering the mixing and application 
 of KRAGSTONE will be gladly mailed to any building 
 contractor or dealer upon request. It contains some in- 
 teresting subjects concerning good stucco construction. 
 
 Velvetile Flooring 
 
 VELVETILE composition flooring, also a magnesite 
 product, manufactured under the same high standards as 
 KRAGSTONE, offers some very interesting possibilities as 
 a floor for restaurants, schools, various public institutions, 
 also bathrooms kitchen floors and residences. It is a very 
 hard, dense material, resisting wear and abrasion, where 
 no other flooring would stand up. This is manufactured 
 in several colors, with which some very interesting com- 
 binations can be secured. Complete instructions for laying 
 this material will be gladly furnished upon request.

 TRADE MARK 
 
 This house was jacked up, moved more than a mile, and lowered on to its 
 new foundations without a single crack appearing on its Asbestone 
 Stucco surface. Convincing evidence of the fact that Asbestone is an 
 ELASTIC stucco, that will not crack even when subjected to unusual strains. 
 
 Asbestone Everlasting Stucco 
 
 This is a superior grade of Magnesia Stucco containing no 
 lime, Portland cement or gypsum. It is characterized by great 
 strength, durability, adhesiveness and elasticity. Will not expand 
 or contract and is impervious to weather changes. Its unusual 
 resiliency enables it to withstand settling strains without damage 
 to a far greater degree than any other materials used in the 
 manufacture of Stucco, or plaster. 
 
 Fireproof and Insulating Qualities 
 
 Asbestone being a compound of Magnesia and Asbestos is fire- 
 proof and possesses a high degree of insulating qualities—making 
 the house stuccoed with Asbestone easy to heat in winter and 
 cocl in summer. It can be successfully used over frame, brick, 
 hollow tile or any other kind of stucco base, and being non-freez- 
 ing can be applied in winter as well as in summer. 
 
 Beautiful in Appearance 
 
 In its natural finish Asbestone produces a wall of a soft, 
 creamy white. It can, however, be colored if desired, and many 
 beautiful effects of texture and tone can be produced by the use 
 of the trowel or sponge on its plastic surface, or by using one 
 or more of our colored dashes, of stone, marble, granite, ete. 
 
 How Shipped 
 
 Asbestone is shipped in bags, in dry powder form, with the 
 mixing compound in flakes in iron containers. The addition of 
 water is all that is necessary to make it ready for use. This 
 method of shipping the mixing compound in flake form instead 
 of as a liquid results in considerable saving in freight charges.

 All Mineral 
 
 Pyramid Stucco is an all mineral stucco containing no 
 cork or sawdust. Packed and shipped in 100 pound bags. 
 
 Special Features 
 
 Pyramid Stucco is a finely graded magnesite stucco con- 
 taining a large percentage of Magnesite, mixed with Silica 
 and carefully selected, Asbestos fibre. It has remarkable 
 tensile strength, and wonderful elasticity. It is very 
 adhesive. 
 
 It can be applied over good grade of wood, metal or patent 
 lath, brick, hollow tile or concrete. It fills every crevice, 
 joins snugly and does not pull 
 away around window frames 
 or door casings. 
 
 Pyramid Stucco sets quickly 
 and thoroughly—hard and 
 dense—and can be used in 
 zero weather without freezing. 
 
 It is maufactured by pioneer 
 producers in a modern fac- 
 tory especially designed and 
 equipped for scientific stucco 
 manufacture. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Pyramid Stucco is easier to apply and spreads easily over 
 a large surface. 
 
 It withstands expansion and contraction and will not 
 erack or check when applied to good construction. Strains 
 that cause ordinary stucco to crack do not develop a hair 
 line in Pyramid Stucco. 300% to 400% stronger. Makes 
 an enduring, beautiful exterior finish that does not discolor 
 in damp weather. 
 
 Always insures a successful job and costs no more than 
 other Stucco. 
 
 Permanently-Colored Dashes 
 
 We sell, in 100 pound bags, the following all natural color 
 dashes, which will retain their natural colors permanently: 
 Pyramid Green; Carthage Gray; White Quartz; White 
 Quartz (small size); Pink Quartz; Red Granite; Ohio Peb- 
 ble; Pearl Shell; Green Marble; Buff Marble (small size); 
 Mica Spar; Jet Black; Black and White Speckled; Brown 
 Granite; Light Green; Rainbow Glass; Polished Shell. Many 
 beautiful combinations can be worked out from the above 
 colors. One ton of Dash will cover 200 to 225 yards depend- 
 ing upon the size of Dash used. 
 
 Unusual and Lasting Beauty 
 
 The remarkable beauty of Pyramid Stucco is due to its 
 clean cut, permanently white appearance. This white back- 
 ground affords an attractive surface for the imbedding of

 Pyramid Period Finish 
 
 Pyramid Period Finish is 
 used when a dashed surfacing 
 is not desired. Pyramid Period 
 Finish can be obtained in a 
 variety of colors, and may be 
 stippled, floated or troweled to 
 represent any of the different 
 periods of architecture, with- 
 out any discoloration or un- 
 evenness of color. 
 
 Pyramid Period Finish is 
 applied in three coats, each 
 one quarter (%4) inch in thick- 
 ness. The two base coats, are of magnesite composition, 
 and the third coat is of portland composition. A mechanical 
 bond is obtained between the second and third coat by 
 brooming or roughing the second coat, and allowing it to 
 set for two days before applying the third coat. 
 
 Easy to Apply 
 
 Pyramid Stucco is easy to apply as it is very plastic 
 and buttery. It spreads easily over a wide surface and 
 bonds perfectly. A mechanic and laborer under ordinary 
 conditions, can apply from 50 to 60 yards of scratch, finish 
 and dash per day. 
 
 Insulates, Weather & Fire Proofs 
 
 Pyramid Stucco is a perfect insulator. Keeps the house 
 warmer in winter and cooler in summer. 
 
 It waterproofs the wall to which it is applied. Through 
 a special process known as “supergrading” Pyramid Stucco 
 is made permanently impervious to any detrimental effects 
 from rain, snow or other moisture. No harmful or tem- 
 porarily effective chemicals are used to obtain these water- 
 proofing qualities that have been so heartily endorsed by 
 stucco specialists throughout the country.

 Oriental Stucco: 
 
 New Beauty and Permanence in Stucco: 
 Oriental Stucco successfully meets the mod- 
 ern demand for stucco that will harmonize 
 in texture and color with the architectural 
 style of the building upon which it is used. 
 It is a scientifically compounded stucco fur- 
 nished as Base and Finish coats, each ready 
 mixed, waterproof, non-staining, plastic, 
 easy to apply, and durable. 
 
 Factory Mixed: Oriental Stucco Base Coat is 
 mixed by machine at the mill with the correct pro- 
 portion of sharp, graded sand and ingredients to 
 make it waterproof and plastic. As this coat (as 
 well as the Finish Coat) is ready for use with the 
 addition of water, possibility of improper mixing or 
 the use of poor sand is eliminated and uniform re- 
 sults are assured on every job. 
 
 Color and Texture: Oriental Stucco Finish 
 Coat is made in white and nine standard colors 
 and every job is, therefore, of a uniform shade 
 regardless of the number of mixes required. 
 
 Because of the remarkable plasticity of the Finish 
 Coat, the ordinary mechanic with common tools can 
 accurately reproduce English, Spanish, Colonial, and 
 other period textures to correctly interpret and har- 
 monize with the architectural style of the building.

 Interpretation of English Texture in Oriental Stucco 
 
 Company has prepared a Handbook which describes 
 the characteristic features of several popular styles 
 and illustrates ten stucco textures in colors, by em- 
 bossed panels. A copy of the Oriental Stueco Hand- 
 book will be sent free upon request,. 
 
 Bases Upon Which Applied: Oriental Stucco 
 may be applied over metal lath, wire lath, tile, 
 brick, conerete, and over Gyp-Lap wall con- 
 struction. It is also especially adaptable for 
 overcoating old cement stucco walls, masonry 
 surfaces, and the walls of frame buildings. 
 
 Application of Base Coat: The Base Coat is ap- 
 plied in the same fashion as Portland Cement stucco, 
 in two coats. The first coat should be scratched and 
 allowed to dry thoroughly and should then be fol- 
 lowed with the brown coat, properly floated to 
 straighten the work. The brown coat must be allowed 
 to dry completely to permit shrinkage to take place 
 and then wet down before applying the Oriental 
 Stucco Finish Coat. 
 
 Finish Coat ts Easily Textured: Oriental Stucco 
 Finish Coat can be surfaced with ordinary tools to 
 accurately reproduce any period texture. In addi- 
 tion, it is adaptable to the entire range of stucco 
 treatment known to architects and builders. It is 
 equally easy to achieve in Oriental Stucco Finish, the 
 smooth trowel, stipple, sand sprayed, rough cast, or 
 spatterdash finishes, according to individual taste or 
 requirements.

Better Plastering for the Home 
 
 NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BETTER PLASTERING 
 Madison Square Building 
 
 Nothing equals the beauty of 
 good plastering. No other wall 
 finish is so perfectly adapted to 
 useful and decorative effects. 
 
 Remember that plastering rep- 
 resents 80% of the visible in- 
 terior of the home and. prac- 
 tically all of the finish in it. 
 The initial cost of Better Plas- 
 tering is so modest in compari- 
 son with many other features 
 that go to make the home, that 
 you can’t afford to overlook con- 
 sideration of a steel base—for 
 no equal amount can so much 
 protection from fire, freedom 
 from repair, and permanent sat- 
 isfaction be bought. 
 
 Safety from Fire. 
 
 An unburnable barrier is 
 formed by plastering on its base 
 of steel. So effectively does this 
 protect the wood studs and joists 
 from fire that the Underwriters’ 
 Laboratories have officially given 
 it a one-hour rating. This, to 
 all intents and purposes, means 
 complete protection from fire. 
 
 Over 7,500 lives and $88,000,- 
 000 are our annual loss from fire 
 in dwellings. Most of these trag- 
 edies are said to be due to in- 
 terior defects. When walls and ceilings are Better 
 Plastering on METAL Lath, the fire hazard has been 
 reduced to the minimum. 
 
 Every home should be a safe place to live in. There 
 are parts of the home where cost is secondary to 
 safety, yet the added cost for plastering on a steel 
 base is very moderate. 
 
 Minimum Cost for Upkeep. 
 
 Repair and replacement of plastering and the cost 
 involved are held to the minimum when steel is used 
 for the plastering base. Dust streaks are absent, as 
 are stains. 
 
 Steel gives plastering the strength to resist vibra- 
 tion, moisture and temperature changes without 
 cracking. It will not shrink, swell, warp or burn.

 staining caused by moisture, and streaking due to 
 dust absorbed by ordinary plastering. 
 
 The fire had its own way. 
 to stop it. A steel plastering base holds the las- 
 tering in place and protects lumber for one hour. 
 Makes buildings fire-safe. 
 
 Sound Absorbent and Sanitary 
 
 Because it is thicker and 
 denser than ordinary plaster, 
 Better Plastering is more sound- 
 proof. Quiet, of course, is desir- 
 able in the home. Plastering on 
 steel prevents the passage of 
 vermin and rodents. There are 
 no cracks for cockroaches to 
 come through. A plastered sur- 
 face permits effective disinfec- 
 tion in the event of sickness in 
 the home. 
 
 Slight Difference in Cost 
 
 Compare the slight difference 
 in cost between Better Plaster- 
 ing on METAL lath and ordin- 
 ary plastering, with any other 
 contract. Actually, this differ- 
 ence is probably the smallest 
 that will have to be considered. 
 Yet the decision as to the plas- 
 tering base is the most impor- 
 tant one made by the home- 
 owner. 
 
 In a few years the slight 
 added investment for Better 
 Plastering on its steel base will 
 have been repaid in freedom 
 ee a from upkeep cost. 
 
 There was nothing In apartment buildings the 
 use of Better Plastering with 
 METAL lath to reinforce and 
 preserve, benefits the owner as well as those who make 
 their homes there.

 Product: 
 Metal Lath and Accessories. 
 Uses: 
 
 As a plastering reinforcement and base 
 for stucco. 
 
 Kinds of Metal Lath: 
 
 Individual types and forms of metal lath, 
 corner beads, metal moulding, base board, 
 base screeds, picture mouldings, and door 
 and window trim will be found in the cata- 
 logs of the various companies listed above. 
 
 Metal lath is furnished painted or cut 
 from galvanized sheets. Painted lath is 
 suitable for all practical purposes; gypsum 
 plaster should not be used in places subject 
 to continuous moisture such as shower 
 stalls, partitions resting on the ground— 
 portland cement should be used. 
 
 Function of Metal Lath: 
 
 Metal lath acts as a base and reinforce- 
 ment for interior plaster and braces the lum- 
 ber frame of buildings, making them rigid. 
 It is also widely used as a reinforcement for 
 exterior stucco. It does not expand, con- 
 tract, or warp nor does it permit dust 
 streaks to appear on the wall, as with or- 
 dinary lath. 
 
 Uses of Metal Lath: 
 
 Ordinary lumber construction — wood 
 stud partitions and wood joisted floors, can 
 be made erackproof and firesafe to a su- 
 perior degree by using metal lath as the 
 plastering reinforcement. It keeps the 
 plaster in position long after it has been 
 disintegrated by fire and would otherwise 
 have fallen off and become useless as a 
 protection. As a reinforcement for ex- 
 terior stucco, it has the endorsement of 
 stucco experts. 
 
 and cracking. Inside corners, where wood 
 lath, celotex or plasterboard are used, should 
 also be reinforced by metal lath cornerite to 
 prevent corner cracks at joining of parti- 
 tions, walls, and ceilings. 
 
 The use of steel window casings, door 
 casings, and of steel for other interior trim 
 eliminates much inflammable material, 
 makes for more permanent construction 
 and is much used in office and other public 
 buildings of the better type. 
 
 Small Cost of Using Metal Lath: 
 
 Plastering on metal lath has decreased, 
 relatively, in cost. It is frequently only 35 
 to 50 cents per yard more than plastering 
 on ordinary lath. For this reason discern- 
 ing builders are recommending to their cus- 
 tomers that they adopt it in their homes in 
 a few of the places most vulnerable to fire 
 or im prominent rooms only, when strict 
 economy is essential. For $35.00, 100 yards 
 of plaster on metal lath can be used in such 
 parts of a home, adding a large measure of 
 fire protection, preventing plaster cracks in 
 prominent rooms, and adding to the resale 
 value of the home.

 Wheeling Metal Lath: 
 
 A standard, expanded metal diamond mesh lath for 
 all classes of work. All sheets have square corners 
 and straight edges and are 28 inches wide. 
 
 Easier and More Economical to Use: 
 
 Builders prefer Wheeling Metal Lath because of 
 the straight edges and square corners, which permit 
 easy, quick handling. Moreover there is less waste in 
 lapping. All sheets of standard lath being 28 inches 
 wide permit saving of lath by use of fewer sheets. 
 
 Quality and Construction: 
 
 The base metal of all standard Lath consists of 
 open hearth steel sheets of uniform high quality. 
 By a special process these sheets are turned into lath 
 without reheating. All of the original stiffness in 
 each sheet remains in the finished lath, affording a 
 perfectly flat support for plaster, cement or stucco. 
 
 Wheeling Metal Lath can be furnished (1) made 
 from open hearth steel sheets, painted black, (2) cut 
 from galvanized (zinc-coated) sheets, or (3) Ohio 
 Metal Copper-Bearing Steel, painted red.

 which eliminate the need for furring strips, stiffen the

 extra weight. On interior plastering work the extra 
 rigidity and stiffness permit much wider spacing of 
 studding with resulting economy in time and material. 
 
 Wheeling 34 in. Rib Lath: 
 
 Where exceptional strength is needed this diamond mesh 
 lath with its solid ribs, spaced 4.8 inches apart, provides 
 maximum rigidity. On suspended ceilings and ceilings be- 
 neath floors, Rib Lath, due to its rigidity, permits wider spac- 
 ing of cross channels, with saving of material and labor. On 
 partitions built with wood or metal studs, Rib Lath saves studs 
 and erection cost. Absence of spring in Lath between studs 
 permits uniform thickness of plaster at considerable economy.

 Clinton Wire Lath 
 
 Clinton Wire Lath has been the recog- 
 nized standard of quality for over half a 
 century and is the most efficient and trust- 
 worthy lathing material in use at the present 
 time. : 
 
 The Clinton Wire Cloth Company (Wickwire 
 Spencer Steel Company, successor) was the first 
 
 concern to engage in the manufacture of fireproof 
 lath. 
 
 It was used for fireproofing purposes as early as 
 1856, and many buildings are now standing which 
 were fireproofed with this material at that time. 
 
 Wire Versus Sheet Metal 
 
 A drawn steel wire when compared with a sheet of 
 metal is, in the matter of strength and general quality 
 of material, a superior product. The wire, which 
 is made by being drawn through a die, is, during its 
 manufacture, subjected to a high tensile stress. This 
 drawing and working of the material renders the wire 
 a fibrous material of uniform quality and for this 
 reason it is stronger and more reliable than sheet 
 metal, which is necessarily of an inferior grade and 
 which suffers more or less injury through the process 
 of cold cutting and expansion. 
 
 Perfect Key 
 
 The primary function of any lathing material is to 
 serve as a foundation to grip and hold mortar. “It is 
 the key or the clinch of the backplaster which actu- 
 ally determines the efficiency of the plastered surface. 
 
 To obtain the best results it is not sufficient to have 
 
 WICKWIRE SPENCER 
 
 isolated portions of mortar here and 
 there pushed through and turned on the 
 reverse side of the lath, as with a great many 
 types of metal lath. In order to insure sub- 
 stantial and permanent construction, it is abso- 
 lutely essential that the lath be actually em- 
 bedded in the body of the plaster. Without a 
 thorough covering of backplaster, air and moisture 
 will in time attack the metal and slow but sure dis- 
 integration will result. 
 
 Because of the ease with which mortar will pass 
 over and around the small circular strands of a wire 
 mesh with no flat or inclined surfaces to deflect or 
 obstruct its passages, Clinton lath enables plaster to 
 form a more perfect key than can be obtained with 
 any other type of lath. 
 
 Quantity of Plaster 
 
 This perfect key does not by any means indicate 
 that wire lath will waste plaster. All metal which 
 enters into the structural elements of a building must 
 be protected against rust and corrosion. Jn the case 
 of a metal lath it is this backplaster, this key, this rear 
 side covering, which must be relied upon to offer the 
 necessary protection to the lath. The claim made by 
 some manufacturers that their lath saves mortar is in 
 itself an admission of the fact that a thorough and 
 satisfactory key is not obtained. Naturally, any type 
 of lath which permits plaster to pass through and be 
 turned here and there at isolated spots on the reverse 
 side of the lath will use less plaster than one which 
 permits the plaster to cover the metal thoroughly.

 Clinton Wire Lath, with specifications and recommendations 
 as to kind best adapted to various jobs.

 SANDED PLASTER—Is a prepared plaster requiring 
 only the addition of water when it is used and it is 
 used where sand is not obtainable locally, and also it 
 is a fine material to use where skilled labor can not 
 be secured. 
 
 ConcrETE PLAsTER—Is especially prepared to be 
 used directly upon smooth concrete walls and ceilings 
 and requires only the addition of water when being 
 mixed. 
 
 When you use Ebsary Cement Plaster you will 
 get a dependable uniform plaster, made from the 
 purest of gypsum rock—every mix is laboratory 
 tested. When applied, Ebsary Plaster sets or hard- 
 ens in from three to six hours. Gypsum will not 
 expand or contract so there is no shrinkage as in 
 lime and the cost is no greater than three coat lme 
 mortar. 
 
 Ebsary Gypsum Blocks 
 
 Lowest in cost of all fireproof partitions. Saves 
 from 10 per cent to 20 per cent in plaster. Best for 
 sound proofing purposes.

KEYLOCK BASE for Stucco and Plaster 
 
 Patented and Manufactured by 
 
 THE FLINT ROCK STUCCO COMPANY, INC. 
 DAYTON, OHIO 
 
 Products 
 
 KEYLOCK Interlocking base for stucco and plaster. 
 
 FLINT-ROCK ALL-MINERAL STUCCO, ARCHI- 
 TEX FINISH “Stueco, Granite Products,” see page 838. 
 
 Keylock Base 
 
 A standard building material of strength and 
 quality, representing in its patented features, 
 many new improvements. These effect economy 
 in its cost of application, insuring proper struc- 
 tural strength. It is recommended by competent 
 testing engineers, research laboratories, stucco 
 manufacturers and leading contractors. 
 
 KEYLOCK consists of a heavy chipboard 
 backing, upon which is spread a special quality 
 asphalt mastic. In this mastic, carefully selected wood 
 strips, chemically treated, with a patented cut on their edges, 
 are embedded, stapled on and clinched with wire of heavy 
 gauge. These wood strips are offset every eighth lath to 
 automatically break joints. 
 
 KEYLOCK BASH is furnished in rolls of 100 sq. ft. Nails 
 for application are included in each package. THasily ware- 
 housed, it comes on the job in perfect condition, and, be- 
 cause of its patented features, a saving in application costs 
 is assured. 
 
 Nature of Keylock Base 
 
 (1)—KEYLOCK takes the place of sheathing, building 
 paper, furring strips, lathing and nails. 
 
 (2)—KEYLOCK automatically breaks joints for studding, 
 thus conforming to standard lathing practice. It is 
 unnecessary to cut the backing. Just roll it down 
 it will interlock and fit. 
 
 (3)—Cuts 4% in. deep are made into the edge of 
 the wood strips. These cuts are 1% in. long 
 on the top side of the strips and 1%4 in. on 
 bottom strip of each side of the wood strips. 
 A longitudinal bevel cut along the edge of the 
 lath is also furnished. The effect and the 
 advantage of these cuts, is to effect a clinch 
 at the widest part of the material, thus 
 creating maximum strength with minimum 
 material. 
 
 (4)—Wood Strips are chemically treated by im- 
 pregnation with water-proofing chemicals, 
 thus eliminating absorption that results in 
 
 warping and distortion with ultimate failure 
 of the mortar. 
 
 (5)—These woods strips, in addition to being em- 
 bedded in the asphalt mastic, are stapled on 
 and clinched, insuring absolute accuracy in 
 spacing and making safe for practical ware- 
 housing and handling. 
 
 (6)—The heavy chipboard backing and asphalt 
 mastie lend insulating and sound deadening 
 qualities. 
 
 (7)—Water-proofing and vermin-proofing of the 
 structure are insured by the heavy coat of 
 asphalt.

 A Complete 
 
 (8)—Cost of proper application is minimized. Joints 
 are easily broken and openings easily sawed out. 
 (9)—Comparative tests made by reputable laboratories 
 have clearly shown the use of KEYLOCK to be 
 superior to ordinary methods of construction. 
 
 Instructions for Keylock Application: 
 
 NAILING—Start the roll at the top of the stud- 
 ding with protruding strips extending over the 
 edge. Use nails included in the roll. Nail each 
 strip at different bearing point when used over 
 studding, or furring, and not less than four 
 nails to each strip over sheathing. The adjoin- 
 ing roll interlaces with the previous one, thus 
 automatically breaking joints. 
 
 CUTTING—Saw across the strips in the same manner as 
 when sawing lumber. Application is simplified by cutting 
 out window openings, ete., after application. 
 
 Standard Specifications for Users of Keylock: 
 
 All exterior surfaces of frame wall having stucco finish, 
 as indicated on drawings, shall be covered with KEYLOCK 
 STUCCO BASH. 
 
 KEYLOCK BASE shall be applied according to the manu-

 Products 
 
 The products of this company are Crushed 
 Limestone and Pulverized Limestone, the raw 
 material for both products being quarried from 
 what is probably the finest deposit of limestone 
 in the United States. We are also producers and 
 shippers of an exceptionally beautiful grade of 
 Crystalline Stucco Dash. 
 
 The Lime Crest Quarry 
 
 The stone in this exceptional quarry analyzes about 97 to 
 98% in Calcium Carbonate, 1 to 14% Magnesia and about 
 1% Silica. There is little stripping required as the stone 
 to a large extent crops out on the surface, as the stone for- 
 mation lies horizontally there are no dirt pockets or dirt 
 seams to contend with. The face of the quarry is 80 ft. 
 high and being an open cut is perfectly dry and susceptible 
 of being worked practically in all weather. The stone is a 
 calcite and white. 
 
 Crystal Spar 
 
 We are large shippers of Crushed Limestone which 
 is marketed under the name of “Crystal Spar.” This is a 
 beautiful white stone which makes the finest kind of walks 
 and driveways—suggesting the coolness of snow in appear- 
 ance and giving forth a delightful crunch as you walk on it. 
 
 Being pure white in color, walks and drives made of Crystal 
 Spar contrast charmingly with the green of lawns and 
 shrubbery and are easily distinguished at night. Such 
 walks and drives retain their original beauty, for rain 
 merely makes them whiter. The absorbent qualities of 
 walks and drives made of Crystal Spar are very good 
 so that a few minutes after a heavy shower one can walk 
 dry-shod on them. Crystal Spar is sufficiently heavy to be 
 uneffected by rain, and is not washed away like tanbark, 
 or similar light material, sometimes used for constructing 
 walks. 
 
 Covering Capacity 
 
 Crystal Spar is not expensive and one ton will cover 
 120 square feet 2 inches deep. On receipt of rough sketch 
 of grounds surrounding house we will be glad to suggest 
 best arrangement of walks and driveways and to quote price 
 on necessary amount of Crystal Spar to properly construct 
 them. 
 
 For Borders 
 
 Pieces of uncrushed limestone can be furnished for 
 bordering the walks and drives and for constructing rock- 
 eries or decorative designs around flower beds. As lime 
 is the most important element of plant food such borders 
 serve a double purpose—nourishing the plants as well as 
 providing a charming decoration to the grounds. 
 
 Trade Mark 
 
 Pulverized Limestone 
 As noted above lime is an important element of 
 plant food. Our Lime Crest Brand of Pulverized 
 
 he < Lime is used for fertilizing lawns, flower beds and 
 rest farms. It is ground extremely fine in order that it 
 
 may be readily absorbed by the soil. Unlike manure, 
 and other animal fertilizers, it has no unpleasant 
 odor, but is a clean, sweet plant food that is applied 
 merely by sprinkling it on top of the soil and leaving it 
 for the rain to wash in, or it may be washed in immediately 
 after application by spraying with a hose. 
 
 Three hundred pounds of Lime Crest Pulverized Limestone 
 is the proper amount to use on 1000 square feet of lawn. 
 
 Crystal Dash 
 
 This Dash for stucco makes the most beautiful finish 
 imaginable. It has a high lustre, due to its Crystalline 
 character, and is white in color with a slight bluish tinge— 
 the tones and sparkle one sees in new-fallen snow under 
 moonlight. You must see this Dash in order to appreciate 
 its exceptional beauty. 
 
 Samples 
 
 We are always glad to send samples of our product to 
 anyone interested.

OHIO WHITE FINISHING LIME 
 
 Manufactured By 
 THE OHIO HYDRATE & SUPPLY CO. 
 WOODVILLE, OHIO 
 “The Lime Center of the World” 
 
 Made in Four Brands 
 
 Ohio White Finishing Lime is 
 made in four brands: Ohio, Wood- 
 ville, Buckeye and Hawk Spread 
 White Finishes, distinguished by 
 the four trademarks at the right. 
 
 Each brand is of the same high 
 quality, will produce the same re- 
 sult, and is guaranteed to meet the 
 standard specifications of the Amer- 
 ican Society for Testing materials. 
 
 Easily Obtained 
 
 Ohio White Finishing Lime in 
 one or more of its brands may be 
 obtained practically anywhere in the United States. 
 A daily plant capacity of six hundred tons and excellent 
 shipping facilities assure our ability to supply our 
 product in any quantity. 
 
 Provides Better Walls for Better Homes 
 
 Nothing adds more charm to the modern home than 
 beautiful walls. Nor is anything more unsightly than 
 chipped, cracked or blistered walls. Permanently beau- 
 tiful, snowy white walls are easily obtained through 
 the use of Ohio White Finishing Lime. 
 
 It not only gives a lasting finish, but 
 also produces a fire-resisting, metal- 
 preserving, acoustics-improving wall. 
 No matter whether walls be tinted, 
 painted or papered, there is no chip- 
 ping, cracking or blistering. 
 
 These results are due to the unusual 
 purity and peculiar 
 natural composition 
 of the dolomitic 
 limestone from 
 which it is made. 
 Being exceedingly 
 “fat” or plastic it 
 provides maximum 
 coverage with min- 
 imum of labor and 
 material. 
 
 In humble cottage 
 or luxurious man- 
 sion, Ohio White 
 Finishing Lime ac- 
 complishes the ex- 
 traordinary because 
 it is a better-than- 
 ordinary lime. 
 
 TRADEMARKS 
 
 Where It Should Be Used 
 
 The following list is given as repre- 
 senting the general classifications of 
 work where Ohio White Finishing Lime 
 can and should be used. 
 
 For White Coating 
 
 If closely examined with a micro- 
 scope, the white coating in which any 
 Ohio White Finish product has been 
 used would be found to be filled with 
 minute pores. Peculiarly enough, 
 these pores play a very important part 
 in the successful acoustics of a room. 
 Although too small for the naked 
 eye to see, yet they break up and 
 absorb the sound waves, preventing 
 any rebound which is the reason for 
 the echo nuisance where this porosity 
 does not exist. 
 
 Another distinct advantage realized is the permanency 
 of the walls which affords a like degree of permanency in 
 the decorations. If white coated walls are allowed to stand 
 undecorated for at least one year, this permits the build- 
 ing to settle so that any cracks which may result from 
 the settling, can be properly filled and allowed to harden. 
 The result is a perfectly smooth, white wall, capable of 
 being made permanently beautiful because of the corre- 
 sponding permanency of Ohio White Finish Lime. 
 
 Scratch and Brown Coats 
 
 The uniform quality and unusual plasticity of Ohio White 
 Lime have made it an important factor in high grade inter- 
 ior plaster work in- 
 cluding scratch and 
 brown coats. 
 
 As a matter of 
 fact, there is no 
 kind of plaster work 
 where Ohio White 
 Lime plaster does 
 not excel. It can 
 be used on all kinds 
 and grades of ma- 
 terial with better re- 
 sults in acoustics, 
 light, sanitation, ap- 
 pearance and life of 
 the wall. 
 
 Exterior Stucco 
 
 Work 
 
 The use of Ohio 
 White Lime as an 
 admixture to cement 
 greatly improves 
 exterior stucco work because of its unusual plasticity 
 and “fatness.” This characteristic makes it possible to 
 cover the metal lath with less pressure than is required 
 for ordinary stucco mixtures, 
 
 In like manner is the efficiency of the mixture in- 
 creased for use on wood lath because of the liberal 
 “key” produced. Then too, the plasticity or work- 
 ability of the mass aids in effecting a complete “fill” 
 in every crack and crevice. The monolithic surface 
 thus produced prevents any absorption of outside 
 moisture. Naturally this adds greatly to the lasting 
 qualities of the stucco work. ;

OHIO WHITE FINISHING LIME (Continued) 
 
 Water-tight Concrete Work 
 
 The addition of Ohio White Lime to any concrete 
 mixture in the proportion of 5% to 10% of the weight 
 of the cement used, renders the mixture much easier 
 to handle. The plasticity of the lime lubricates the 
 mixture, making it mix better, pour easier, and run 
 into the forms and around the reinforcing much more 
 evenly and uniformly, making it possible to attain a 
 clean, smooth finish. 
 
 The increased density of the mass, resulting from 
 the use of Ohio White Lime, renders the concrete work 
 practically water-tight, hence far more permanent. 
 
 Lime-Cement Mixtures 
 
 Portland cement mixtures are greatly improved 
 through the use of Ohio White lime. It possesses cer- 
 tain lubricating properties which facilitate the move- 
 ment of the mixture through the chutes as well as aiding 
 in its handling. 
 
 It also acts adhesively, holding the mass together, 
 thereby preventing a separation of the sand and stone 
 from the cement. In other words, the addition of Ohio 
 White Lime renders the mixture more plastic, easier 
 to handle and easier to spread, 
 which alone effects a saving in 
 labor. 
 
 Then too, the same qualities 
 which cause the greater plasticity, 
 tend toward a closer contact in 
 the mass with the result that the 
 density of the mixture is in- 
 creased and its resistive powers 
 greatly multiplied. It is because 
 of this peculiar characteristic that 
 cement mixtures in which Ohio 
 White Lime is used, are much 
 denser and far less liable to crack. 
 
 Mortar 
 
 Portland cement mortars can be produced much 
 easier and cheaper through the use of Ohio White Lime. 
 Not only does it make the mixture easier to handle, 
 but also does away with the labor ordinarily required 
 to slake the lump lime. 
 
 It can readily be realized that the use of mortar of 
 such plasticity will naturally allow the brick, stone, tile 
 or other material, to become more firmly embedded. 
 This, of course, produces a compactness which obviously 
 must add strength to the entire work. Likewise does 
 this same characteristic tend to make the work more 
 water-tight, while also making it possible to work the 
 material in low temperature when ordinary cement 
 mortar could not be safely handled.

 Nature at Her Best 
 
 Digging into the earth we find nature’s handiwork in 
 various stages of perfection. Somewhere we find the best 
 coal, the finest ore or the greatest deposit of petroleum. 
 
 So it is with limestone. The country is dotted with 
 tracts of limestone. Somewhere nature had to excel herself, 
 and she did! 
 
 Our quarry, according to experts, is the finest deposit of 
 limestone for making finishing and building hydrated lime, 
 to be found anywhere. Nature .in her most gracious mood 
 left millions of tons of clean, pure, solid rock composed 
 of correctly balanced proportions of magnesium carbonate 
 and calsium carbonate which produces lime of superlative 
 quality. 
 
 A Remarkable Quarry 
 
 It takes no chemist to discover the wonderful quality of 
 our limestone. A view of our quarry is sufficient to impress 
 anyone that it contains limestone of unusual properties. 
 
 As one stands on the edge of our quarry, an amazing 
 sight greets the eye. On a floor as firm and as level as 
 a city pavement, three large steam shovels and six busy 
 little engines puff and steam day in and day out loading 
 stone and hauling it to a mammoth crusher. 
 
 Surrounding this busy scene is a solid, perpendicular wall 
 of clean, solid rock which rises above the floor of the 
 quarry to a height of sixty-five feet. 
 
 As far as the eye can carry, not a seam, fissure, break 
 or patch of dirt, stripping or unworkable stone may be seen. 
 
 This quarry, gradually enlarging each year, and despite 
 continual additions and enlargements to our plant, promises 
 to supply limestone in adequate quantities for a hundred 
 years to come. 
 
 Located on the edge of this magnificent quarry is a 
 gigantic stone crusher which takes great chunks of solid 
 rock and crunches them into thousand of pieces. 
 
 The crushed rock is conveyed to graduated screens where 
 kiln stone of a uniform size is obtained. The uniformity 
 of our kiln stone is worthy of note, as it standardizes burn- 
 ing which has an important bearing on the high grade lime 
 we produce. 
 
 With this marvelous limestone available, it is only natural 
 that we preserve and develop this quality by modern lime- 
 making methods. 
 
 Our manufacturing experience extends over a period of 
 twenty-five years. We began over a quarter of a century 
 ago as pioneers in the hydration of lime. 
 
 During this time our lime has gained a country-wide 
 reputation among architects, contractors, plasterers and 
 owners as being the finest finishing hydrated lime it is 
 possible to obtain. 
 
 A Marvelous Finishing Lime 
 
 Our product is distributed under three brand names, 
 namely White Enamel, Gold Medal and White Lily Finish- 
 ing Hydrated Lime. : 
 
 As a finish, these brands produce snow-white walls which 
 set with a stone-like hardness. Due to the purity of our 
 lime, walls finished with our brands are free of ‘core’ 
 and other foreign substances which tend to streak, strain, 
 mar, pit, pop or blister. ; 
 
 White Enamel Gold Metal and White Lily are favorites 
 with plasterers owing to easy spreading properties, and to 
 the fact that our lime does not roll up or work short under 
 the trowel. 
 
 A workman may do more work with our finish, and 
 produce better results. 
 
 An All-Around Building Lime 
 
 White Enamel, Gold Medal and White Lily brands are 
 an ideal lime for all building purposes where a high-grade, 
 uniform and dependable lime is required. 
 
 Where lime is specified to be used in mortar, stucco, 
 concrete, brown or scratch coat plaster; White Enamel,

The Woodville Lime Products Company (Continued) 
 
 Gold Medal or White Lily brands may be used with greater 
 economy and better results for the reason that less of our 
 lime is required to obtain the desired results as compared 
 to mason’s lump or gray lime. 
 
 White Enamel, Gold Medal or 
 White Lily Hydrated Lime in Mortar 
 
 Contractors and masons have found by experience that 
 they can make a mortar with less quantities of White 
 Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily brands with ordinary 
 lime, and still produce better results. 
 
 It is therefore just as economical to use White Enamel, 
 Gold Medal or White Lily brands in mortar as it is to use 
 ordinary mason’s lime, and the results are decidedly better. 
 
 By reason of the wonderful plasticity and coalescent 
 qualities of these brands of lime, mortar mixed with White 
 Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily has greater sand carry- 
 ing capacity, will work easier, adhere better and get stronger. 
 
 The resultant masonry is more impervious to water, 
 moisture and winds. The structural units are better im- 
 bedded, and masons are able to do more and better work 
 with less effort. 
 
 White Enamel, Gold Medal and 
 White Lily Brands in Concrete 
 
 The functions of concrete in construction are so important 
 that high grade lime, such as we produce, is practically 
 essential for the best results when lime is specified to be 
 used with concrete. 
 
 White Inamel, Gold Medal and White Lily brands of 
 hydrated lime are the most efficient integral water-tighten- 
 ing mediums available today. This lime imparts plasticity 
 to concrete and makes it more workable, reduces finishing 
 and placing costs, and gives concrete mixtures easier work- 
 ing qualities and greater molding properties with a minimum 
 amount of water. 
 
 The smooth, uniform texture of our lime adds a slippery 
 quality to concrete which makes it travel through chutes 
 with greater ease and rapidity. For the same reason, con- 
 erete containing a mix of White Enamel, Gold Medal or 
 White Lily prevents segregation of aggregate, honeycoming, 
 stone pockets and makes it water-proof. 
 
 Thus the advantages of using a high grade lime more 
 than offsets the use of ordinary lime, and adds nothing 
 to the cost as White Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily 
 brands may be used in less quantities to obtain the desired 
 results. 
 
 A Trial Will Convince 
 
 Regardless of what we say regarding White Enamel, 
 Gold Medal or White Lily brands of Finishing Hydrated 
 Lime, the fact remains that nothing is quite so convincing 
 as an actual trial of any one of these brands under actual 
 working conditions. 
 
 You are doubtless persuaded that these brands are all we 
 claim for them, yet are of the opinion there are other 
 brands on the market of equal excellence. 
 
 Only a trial will convince you of the difference in quality, 
 in uniformity, in purity, in whiteness and in results. We 
 freely admit that we have no secret or unusual methods 
 of manufacture. We claim, however, that limestone cannot 
 be manufactured. It is a product of nature, and if the 
 natural ingredients of limestone are not fundamentally right 
 or correctly balanced to produce a high grade lime, modern 
 processes of manufacture cannot overcome this handicap. 
 
 We not only have limestone that is fundamentally right, 
 but we know how to make good lime. A trial of White 
 Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily will convince you that 
 it is good lime. : 
 
 Specifications for White Coat Finish 
 
 Use White Enamel, Gold Medal or White Lily Hydrated 
 Lime and the best grade of finely ground calcined plaster. 
 Guage about 10 to 20 pounds of calcined plaster to each 
 100 lbs. of Hydrated Lime, dry finish. If sand (or marble 
 dust) is to be used in putty coat, add the specified amount. 
 
 Directions for Preparation—F ill Lime box with necessary 
 amount of water (four or five inches) then pour in hydrated 
 lime direct from sacks and distribute it evenly in the box. 
 If water is drawn from a hose, sprinkle the lime as it 
 is spread in. There should be enough water used so that 
 when lime is left to soak, it is a wet, soft mass. Sixteen 
 to eighteen gallons of water to every one hundred pounds 
 of Hydrated Lime will give batch the right consistency. 
 It should then be left to soak from ten to fifteen hours as 
 it works better when well soaked. During this time do 
 not stir. 
 
 Application—The brown coats in connection with gypsum 
 (hard wall) plaster shall have become dry before the finish 
 coat is applied. 
 
 The brown coat in connection with lime plaster shall have 
 become firmly: set, but not dry, before the finish coat is 
 applied. Trowel white finish down with water, same as 
 with lump lime putty, to a smooth perfect surface. 
 
 Covering Capacity—Eight hundred to one thousand square 
 yards to the ton of finish for the average white coat job. 
 For extra good work, or if base coat is rough, it will 
 run somewhat less,

 acknowledged to be the best for producing finishing 
 lime. The snowy whiteness of Tiger Finish is due to 
 this natural advantage plus a scientific process of re- 
 fining. The result is a lime which makes a putty that 
 spreads like warm butter and covers more yards of wall 
 surface. (Covers about 
 800 sq. yds. per ton). 
 Uniform high quality

ARMSTRONG’S CORKBOARD INSULATION 
 FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS 
 
 Made By 
 
 ARMSTRONG CORK & INSULATION COMPANY 
 
 210 Twenty-Fourth St., Pittsburgh, Pa. 
 BRANCHES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES 
 
 A generation ago, home builders paid little attention to 
 the insulation of their walls and roofs. Fuel was cheap and 
 the principles of insulation and its relation to comfort and 
 economy in the home were not generally understood. But 
 the situation is very different today. Fuel is expensive 
 and fuel economy a very important consideration with most 
 people. Moreover, it is now recognized that only by means 
 of insulation can the house be adequately protected against 
 summer’s heat and winter’s cold. The use of insulation of 
 ‘the proper kind and in sufficient thickness insures a house 
 that is cooler in summer and warmer in winter; one that 
 is freer from drafts, and more easily and uniformly heated 
 with a smaller plant and less fuel. 
 
 There is nothing new or experimental about Armstrong’s 
 Corkboard. On the contrary, corkboard has for many years 
 been the one insulation generally recognized in the industries 
 as being the most efficient practical and structurally service- 
 able insulation known. Tor 30 years Armstrong’s Cork- 
 board has been used, for example, in cold storage construc- 
 tion in exactly the same way, except for thickness, as it 
 is now used in houses. In efficiency, durability, and 
 structural adaptability, corkboard is today the established 
 standard, proved by years of service superior to every other 
 type of insulation. 
 
 Nailing Armstrong’s Corkboard to the roof rafters. Residence 
 of Mr. G. Jungling, Cincinnati, O. 
 
 Armstrong’s Corkboard is made of granules of pure cork 
 compressed in sheets. It is nonabsorbent of moisture and 
 not subject to deterioration through mold, decay or any 
 other form of disintegration. It is a fire retardant, vermin 
 proof, and will not shrink, swell, or buckle. Armstrong’s 
 Corkboard once installed is as permanent as the house itself. 
 
 Armstrong's Corkboard is made in boards 12x32 and 36 
 inches and 1, 144, 2, and 3 inches thick. It is more easily cut 
 and sawed than lumber and is readily erected by nailing 
 in frame construction or in cement mortar against brick, 
 
 Armstrong’s Corkboard erected in cement on tile walls and 
 nailed to second floor ceiling, ready for plastering. 
 Residence of Mr. H, W. Prentis, Jr., Lancaster, Pa. 
 
 tile, conerete, and stone. It is generally applied on the 
 inside surfaces of walls and plaster applied directly on the 
 corkboard without the use of lath. For stucco finished 
 houses Armstrong’s Corkboard may be used on the exterior 
 of the walls. Roofs are usually insulated by nailing the 
 corkboard to the underside of the rafters and plastering, 
 if the attic is finished; by laying over the top floor joists 
 in an unfinished attic; or as a ceiling on the underside of 
 the top-floor joists, finished with plaster. 
 
 Armstrong’s Corkboard is not expensive. On the con- 
 trary its first cost is very moderate and its use makes 
 possible economies that easily repay the entire investment 
 in a very short time. For example, a house insulated with 
 Armstrong’s Corkboard can be comfortably heated with a 
 much smaller plant than would otherwise be required. This 
 saving alone reduces the net cost of the insulation to a 
 very small percentage of the cost of the house. Another 
 saving is the omission of lath from the insulated walls and 
 ceilings. Then there is that very important economy, the 
 year-after-year saving in fuel amounting to a third or more, 
 which makes Armstrong’s Corkboard insulation one of the 
 best paying investments you can build into your house. 
 
 That is the financial side of insulation which takes no 
 account of comfort and health factors that cannot be valued 
 in money and yet are so indispensable as to make cork 
 insulation worth many times its cost. 
 
 In the light of all that is known about insulation and 
 what it means in comfort, health, and economy, you cannot 
 afford to build without it. Full particulars about Arm- 
 strong’s Corkboard with a sample of the material will be 
 supplied on request and without obligation.

 Celotex Insulating Lumber is a felted and 
 waterproofed cane fibre board with heat 
 insulating value of 0.33 B. T. U. per hour 
 per inch thickness and strength in wall 
 sections greater than horizontal pine sheathing. It has 
 a higher sound insulation value than standard deadening felts. 
 
 It is manufactured in several different grades and qualities. 
 A board is made for home construction known as 
 
 Celotex Standard Building Board: 
 
 When insulated by the use of Celotex Standard Building 
 Board as a part of the structure, a home or other building 
 is stronger, warmer, quieter and more healthful. 
 
 It is free from drafts and dampness and a saving of 
 approximately 1-3 of each year’s fuel expense is effected. 
 
 This is accomplished with no extra expense to the builder 
 in his original construction costs as Celotex replaces other 
 materials and reduces the size of the heating plant. 
 
 For information regarding other kinds of Celotex Insulating 
 Lumber, address company’s general offices.

 16 in. on center. Wherever it is necessary 
 to have a horizontal joint in the Celotex, a 
 2 in. x 4 in. header shall be cut in between 
 the framing. No bracing is necessary other than is usual in 
 frame construction. 
 
 Note: Where Celotex is used on ceilings with plaster 
 applied directly to its surface or over stripping on 
 masonry walls, a 2x4 header or a furring strip sHall be 
 cut in every 4 feet for nailing. 
 
 Preparation of Celotex (Wetting) Important: Celotex boards 
 shall be moistened on both sides by sprinkling or spraying 
 and piled, not less than one day before application of boards 
 to walls, except where applied as interior finish to other 
 flat wall surfaces. 
 
 Application: The Celotex boards shall be applied length- 
 wise of studs, joists and rafters, directly to the wood frame 
 work, and set in place so as to have a bearing for nailing 
 along all edges. 
 
 Leave 3/16 in. space between adjoining boards, also at 
 top and bottom of boards. The board is cut a scant 4 ft. 
 to allow for this space. Around window and door frames, 
 or where a snug point is desired, the Celotex shall be brought 
 to moderate contact. DO NOT force into place. 
 
 Where rafters project beyond face of studding, Celotex 
 shall be cut to fit snugly around rafters, and to form close 
 joint with the roof insulation. 
 
 Nailing: Nail the Celotex to intermediate studs, begin- 
 ning at top, then entirely around all edges of each board. 
 Nail in like manner to joists, rafters, sills, plates and headers. 
 Use standard 11% in. galvanized roofing nails with % in. heads. 
 Space nails 3 in. apart along edges for sheathing, and 2 in. 
 apart for plaster and wallpaper base, and 6 in. apart along 
 intermediate rows, driving nails until the heads are 1/16 in. 
 to \% in. below the surface of the Celotex. Nails shall be 
 placed approximately 36 in. from the edge of the boards. 
 
 Note: Where Celotex is to be used as an interior 
 finish, all exposed surfaces shall be nailed with 1% in. 
 finishing nails spaced 3 in. on centers. They shall be 
 driven at an angle of 30 degrees, staggering the angles, 
 and set in with a nail-set so that the heads will lie 
 slightly below the surface of the Celotex. 
 
 Notre: Where Celotex is applied to wood strips on 
 masonry walls use 1% in. nails with % in. heads.

CELOTEX INSULATING LUMBER— (Continued) 
 
 Application of Plaster: 
 
 Do not moisten Celotex after application before applying 
 plaster. Prepared wood fibre or Gypsum plaster containing 
 not more than 10% of lime content shall be used. If neat 
 gypsum plaster is used, mix one part with not more than two 
 parts of clean coarse, sharp sand, free from loam or other 
 foreign matter. 
 
 If sanded gypsum plaster or gypsum wood fibre plaster 
 are used, mix according to manufacturers’ directions. Plaster 
 that will ‘set’ in 1% to 2 hours should be used. Apply 
 plaster directly to Celotex, in the same manner as applied to 
 lath, pressing the plaster thoroughly into the joints between 
 sheets of Celotex, completely filling joint to the lumber base. 
 This forms a full key reinforcing the joint. The first coat 
 must have a thickness of not less than % in. In all plaster 
 work the finished plaster thickness shall be not less than ¥% in. 
 
 Any type of finish coat may be used, provided its thickness 
 is not more than 4% in. The use of lime plaster, or lime mixed 
 with gypsum plaster is not recommended, except for finish 
 coat. 
 
 Celotex provides for the plasterer a wide flat area and some- 
 times the temptation is to skimp the plaster. The thickness 
 of plaster over Celotex must be equal to that over lath. 
 
 Ventilation: 
 
 (Important). Moisture will not pass through Celotex as 
 through lath. The plaster must dry by giving up its moisture 
 to the air in the room. It is absolutely necessary, especially 
 in winter, to give proper attention to heat and ventilation while 
 plaster is drying. Failure to ventilate will cause trouble. 
 
 Sizing, Painting, Staining or Tinting Celotex: 
 
 Sizing: To secure maximum coverage, when oil paints are 
 used, the surface of Celotex must be sized or primed. : 
 
 When water paints or stains are used, no sizing or priming 
 is necessary. 
 
 “A” Glue Sizing: Dissolve two pound of shell or chip glue 
 in three gallons of boiling water and apply warm. Use no size 
 that has been mixed over eight hours. Apply swiftly and evenly. 
 Coverage, approximately 250 square feet to the gallon of this 
 mixture. When glue size is dry any oil paint or stain may 
 be applied, or the board may first be tinted with a water stain 
 (see specification below) then sized and oil paint applied with 
 stencils. 
 
 “B” Oil and Silax Size: Dissolve 8 pound of silax in 
 one gallon of boiled linseed oil (cheaper oils may be used but 
 results are not as good). Mix thoroughly and apply; coverage, 
 approximately 225 square feet to the gallon of this mixture. 
 This size is more expensive but produces a very satisfactory 
 surface and takes the place of one coat of oil paint. 
 
 “C” Casein Size: All casein sizes are produced with manu- 
 factures specifications for mixing and applying. The average 
 coverage is approximately 275 square feet per gallon of 
 mixture. They are mixed with water. No casein size should 
 be used that contains free lime. In markets where these sizes 
 are not available The Celotex Company will recommend an 
 appropriate brand. 
 
 Oil Paints: 
 
 Priming : Instead of sizing, a priming coat containing 
 ¥% turpentine, % boiled linseed oil and % paint may be used. 
 This should be brushed on swiftly and evenly. 
 
 Painting: Over a sized or primed surface, any paint may be 
 used or painting effect produced. 
 
 Note: The above specifications apply equally to interior 
 or exterior painting so far as the preparation of the walls 
 are concerned. 
 
 Oil Stains: 
 
 Oil, benzol, alcohol, acid or any other penetrating stains may 
 be applied over glue or casein sizes in the usual manner. Oil 
 and silax size produces a built up white surface similar to one 
 coat of white oil primer. 
 
 Water Paints and Stains: 
 
 Wood Stains: All commercial stains used for dyeing wood 
 may be used over Celotex without sizing. These are mixed 
 in hot water and applied cold in accordance with -manufacturer’s 
 specifications. The coverage is large, approximately 500 square 
 feet to the gallon but the quantity of dye depends upon the 
 strength of tint desired. These tints should be applied swiftly 
 and evenly with a large brush. 
 
 Paste Water Stains: Paste water stains are dry colors which 
 are mixed with paste specially prepared by manufacturers and 
 may be applied without the use of sizes, as the paste contains 
 the necessary glue. They are mixed in accordance with manu- 
 facturer’s specifications. Any color or tint may be produced. 
 
 Due to the slow drying qualities of this material, other color 
 tints may be mottled into them, producing tiffany or antique 
 effects in one painting operation. Any stencil effect can be 
 applied on this background in Fresco or Japan colors. 
 
 Kalsomine Tints: Kalsomine tints may be applied over either 
 sized or unsized surfaces. When sizing is not used, add 
 small amount of glue to mixture. Mix and apply in accordance 
 with manufacturer’s specifications. Any kalsomine surface 
 maybe stenciled in Fresco or Japan colors. 
 
 Celotex as Interior Wall Finish for Application of Wall- 
 paper, Sanitas or Canvas. 
 
 For Use In Dwellings of Moderate Cost. 
 
 Material: Celotex Standard Building Board shall be used 
 as a base for this application, applied in accordance with 
 standard specifications, with the following additions and pre- 
 cautions which govern this application: 
 
 Framing: Before applying Celotex, the framing must be 
 carefully checked. If studs require straightening, saw the 
 concave side of the bowed studs about two inches, and drive 
 in a wooden wedge until stud straightens. 
 
 Nailing: Nail all surfaces of the board except the edges, in 
 accordance with standard specifications. On all outside edges 
 space nails 2 in. on centers and drive in until the heads are 
 1/16 in. to \% in. below the surface of the board. 
 
 Sandpapering: Because of the close nailing and the fact that 
 nails are driven in so far, there is a depression and roughness 
 at joint. Wrap a piece of coarse sand paper around a piece of 
 2 in. x 4 in., about 12 in. long, and sand with a circular 
 motion, across the joint. Do not sand the depression out, or to 
 the nail heads, but just enough to smooth off rough or raised 
 surface, caused by nailing. Bring the surface of the two 
 Celotex boards, except for depression at nails, to an even 
 plane. Check surface of Celotex boards at intermediate nailing ; 
 if raised, sand slightly in same way. Also sand well in joints 
 between nails to keep edges from rising. 
 
 Sizing: Celotex must be sized before applying paper. Dis- 
 solve one pound of shell or chip glue in three gallons of boiling 
 water and apply warm. Apply within eight hours of time 
 of mixing. Apply in a heavy, uniform coat, 
 
 Muslin Joints: On all joints and angles (external and in_ 
 
 ternal) paste on with wallpaper paste, a cheese cloth or thin 
 muslin strip 5 in. wide. Paste the strip well before applying, 
 and brush away from joint until it is stretched tight. This 
 will bridge the depression made by nailing. Strip should not 
 touch nail heads, 
 _ Lining Paper: Apply lining paper. Any smooth paper will 
 do for this operation, but on ceilings, where light colored, un- 
 figured paper is to be used, the lining paper should be of 
 sufficient weight to obscure muslin strips. Old patterns or 
 discolored stock may be used just to give smooth, easy work- 
 ing surface for finish paper. Apply lining paper with a thick 
 coat of regular wallpaper paste. It is suggested the lining 
 paper be run opposite to finish paper to avoid getting two 
 joints at the same place. This, however, is not absolutely 
 necessary. The same care in hanging is not needed as in 
 finish paper, the important thing being not to use lap joints. 
 This lining paper when dry bridges over depressions made by 
 nail heads not touching them. It also strengthens muslin 
 joints. ; 
 
 Finish Paper: Any desired paper, Sanitas or canvas is 
 then applied the same as over any wall surface.

 finish and decorated with stains, paints and other forms of 
 interior wall treatment. 
 
 Address company for literature and information. See Speci- 
 fications and Details for Celotex Standard Building Board for

 Celotex As Roof Insulation. 
 
 Material: The top of the house shall be instlated with 
 Celotex Standard Building Board applied to the wcod fram- 
 ing in accordance with standard specifications (except where 
 applied to wood deck, specification for which appears in this 
 Section). The place of application and the number of thick- 
 nesses shall be as directed for the particular case. 
 
 Applied Over Roof Rafters: Furring and Roofing: For wood 
 shingles, slate, tile or any other brand of rigid roofing, apply 
 2 in. shingle lath directly over the Celotex, nailing through into 
 the rafters; shingle lath shall be spaced to fit the particular 
 roofing specified. 
 
 For shingles too flexible to bridge the lath, or for roll or 
 sheet roofing first apply wood sheathing board. ‘Then apply 
 Celotex, butting the joints. Over this apply roofing, nailing 
 through to the sheathing.

CELOTEX INSULATING LUMBER— (Continued) 
 
 In summer cottages where Celotex is used as interior finish 
 in connection with open rafters, Celotex may first be applied 
 to rafters, and sheathing, shingle strips or spaced sheathing 
 applied over it to receive various types of roofing. 
 
 As Attic Lining and Insulation. Applied to the Under Side 
 of Roof Rafters: Apply Celotex Standard Building Board to 
 the underside of roof rafters, extended to a tight joining with 
 the wall insulation on all sides. In houses already constructed 
 where there is no side wall insulation, bring Celotex in close 
 contact with side wall sheathing, carefully filling all spaces 
 where air leakage may occur around cornices. If frame is 
 not spaced properly it shall be furred with 1 in. x 2 in. strips 
 spaced 16 in. on centers. 
 
 Applied to the Upper Side of Attic Joists: Apply Celotex 
 Standard Building Board on top of attic frour joists, extending 
 it to a tight joining with side wall insulation. In old houses 
 where there is no side wall insulation, use method specified 
 in previous paragraph. Lay wood floor over the Celotex 
 in such portions of attic as are to be used for storage or 
 living rooms. 
 
 Note: Celotex used with plaster applied direct on 
 second floor ceiling, also operates as roof insulation. 
 
 Note: If attic is to be used as a bedroom or other 
 living room—see specifications for Celotex with plaster 
 applied direct and Interior Finish. 
 
 Applied Over Wood Deck: (For Commercial and Industrial 
 ead See also our Specifications for Celotex Industrial 
 oard. 
 
 Preparation of Deck: Roof deck shall be made of seasoned 
 dressed and matched lumbery, properly nailed, all nails driven 
 flush with boards. The deck shall be laid to slope and 
 pitched to drain, as shown on plans and specifications. Deck 
 shall be swept clean before laying Celotex insulation. Nail 
 cant strips around walls and where required after Celotex 
 is in place. 
 
 Application: The Celotex shall be nailed to the wood deck, 
 using 1% in. standard roofing nails with % in. head, and 
 spacing nails 1 ft. on centers. Nails in the body of the board 
 shall be staggered. Nails shall be driven until the nail heads 
 are 14 in. to 1/16 in. below the surface of the Celotex. Where 
 more than one layer of Celotex is applied use nails of sufficient 
 length to penetrate wood deck. 
 
 Transverse joints and joints of successive layers shall be 
 broken, 
 
 Be careful to fit tight joints with walls and around all roof 
 projections, but DO NOT force into place. 
 _ Apply tin or other form of flat roof in accordance with Roof- 
 ing Specifications. 
 
 Additional layers of Celotex used for roof insulation shall 
 be applied in the manner above specified.

 Balsam-Wool Standard 
 Building Insulation 
 
 A Wood Product — Balsam- 
 Wool is made from pure wood 
 fibers in fleecy wool form, per- 
 manently matted together and 
 treated chemically to resist fire. 
 For building purposes it is fur- 
 nished 14 in. thick, between two 
 sheets of asphalt-coated tough 
 kraft paper. 
 
 Highly Efficient as a Heat Insulator—In Balsam- 
 Wool the natural heat resistance of the wood is multi- 
 plied many times by a rearrangement of the cellular 
 wood fibers into a ‘‘wool’’ form which retards the 
 circulation of air. The still air space in Balsam-Wool 
 is approximately 95%, while its density in pounds 
 per cubic foot is only 3.80. The fact that the paper 
 covers of Balsam - Wool 
 are not stitched or punc- 
 tured in any way adds 
 further to its heat, mois- 
 ture and wind resisting 
 qualities. Standard spec- 
 ifications, and test results 
 showing the efficiency of 
 Balsam - Wool compared 
 with other building insu- 
 lations are given in this 
 
 article. 
 
 An Effective Sound 
 Deadener—The ability of 
 the wool to absorb sound, 
 and the tendency of the 
 paper covering to reflect 
 sound waves, account for 
 the remarkable efficiency 
 
 Standard Package 
 Contains 250 Sq. Ft. 
 Weight, 50 Lbs. 
 
 Waterproof—The film of asphalt which lines 
 the paper coverings protects the wool from 
 moisture, and at the same time keeps dampness 
 out of the building. 
 
 Fire Resistant — The wool is chemically 
 treated against fire. 
 
 It will char while exposed to 
 flame, but will not smolder or 
 burn after the flame is removed. 
 Balsam-Wool in itself will not 
 support combustion. 
 
 Verminproof and Sanitary— 
 Balsam-Wool contains no ani- 
 mal matter. It does not attract 
 or harbor rats, mice or vermin. 
 It is clean, odorless and sani- 
 tary. 
 
 Permanent—The wool cannot 
 sift or settle because each fiber is coated with an ad- 
 hesive which cements it to adjoining fibers. The 
 asphalt coating provides a permanent bond between 
 wool and paper. Balsam-Wool is as permanent as the 
 walls which hold it. 
 
 Uniform in Quality—During the process of manu- 
 facture Balsam-Wool is under constant laboratory 
 supervision for uniformity and thermal conductivity. 
 
 Low Cost of Installa- 
 tion — Three standard 
 , widths meet all average 
 construction require- 
 ments. Thus, the ear- 
 penter cuts on lym 
 length. Being flexible, 
 Balsam - Wool can be 
 fitted easily into corners 
 and around projections 
 without waste of mate- 
 rial. Being light and 
 easily installed, it speeds 
 up the work and keeps 
 down installation costs.

 Note the resemblance in appearance to sheep’s wool. Actual tests 
 on the two materials show an equally striking similarity in insulat- 
 ing efficiency. In Balsam-Wool you have practically the equivalent 
 of sheep’s wool in insulating efficiency at about one-fifth the cost. 
 Balsam-Wool is so efficient because it is 95% still air space—that 
 accounts, too, for its light weight.

 A Weyerhaeuser Product 
 
 Balsam-Wool bears the name of an organization 
 which for more than 65 years has been known for the 
 high standard of quality maintained in all its prod- 
 ucts. On every roll of genuine Balsam-Wool will be 
 found the Weyerhaeuser Forest Products trade-mark, 
 the maker’s pledge of personal responsibility. 
 
 Heat Insulation for Buildings 
 
 Practical Insulation Tests—In the effort to obtain 
 practical insulating data for architects, a series of 
 tests was recently conducted for Woop CONVERSION 
 Company by the C. F. Burgess Laboratories of Madi- 
 son, Wisconsin. 
 
 Made on Actual Wall and Roof Sections—The roof 
 and wall sections tested were of standard construc- 
 tion, and included types most commonly encountered 
 in residential work. 
 
 First, each section was tested for its thermal con- 
 ductivity without insulation. Commercial insulating 
 materials, purchased from dealers’ stocks, were then 
 applied in turn, so that the series of tests would show 
 (1) the absolute heat loss through each type of wall 
 or roof, insulated and uninsulated, and (2) the rela- 
 tive efficiency of the different insulators wnder actual 
 service conditions. 
 
 Standard heat transmission test methods were em- 
 ployed. Details of these will be furnished on re- 
 quest. 
 
 Balsam-Wool the Most Efficient—Results of these 
 tests show a wide difference in the efficiency of the 
 eight insulators under trial. As might be expected, 
 their relative standing varies somewhat in the case 
 of the different wall and roof constructions to which 
 they were applied, but in every case the heat loss 
 through Balsam-Wool was shown to be the lowest. 
 
 General Conclusions—Test results show that the 
 heat loss through the roof is relatively greater than 
 through the walls. They also show that the amount 
 of heat loss in either case is largely dependent on the 
 building materials employed. 
 
 The percentage of saving due to insulation is high- 
 est in the case of those walls and roofs which showed 
 the greatest amount of heat loss when uninsulated. 
 However, the results show that there is a large pre- 
 ventable waste of heat through uninsulated walls and 
 roofs of every type. 
 
 The Economies of Insulation—In the light of these 
 tests and the actual results obtained in insulated 
 buildings, insulation must be recognized as an im- 
 portant measure of fuel conservation.

 This photograph 
 illustrates vividly the 
 heat loss through 
 the roof of the un- 
 insulated house and 
 suggests the need 
 for insulation. It 
 was too cold out- 
 doors when this 
 photograph was 
 taken for the snow 
 to melt off the roof 
 of the garage which 
 is not heated. The 
 heat loss from the 
 house, however, is 
 sufficient to melt 
 all the snow off the 
 roof with the ex- 
 ception of a strip 
 over the eaves 
 where the heat com- 
 ing through the roof 
 cannot reach it. 
 
 country are burning from one-fourth to one-third less 
 coal than uninsulated houses of the same size. More- 
 over, heating engineers are suggesting a reduction of 
 as much as 20% in boiler capacity and radiation 
 when proper insulation is specified. 
 
 These economic considerations, together with sum- 
 mer and winter comfort and the protection against 
 sudden temperature changes, explain the popularity 
 and greater resale value of the insulated house.

 Description 
 
 Insulex is cellular gypsum 
 and is used for sound deaden- 
 ing and insulation against 
 heat and cold. It is ight in 
 weight and its structure con- 
 sists of millions of tiny dead 
 air cells, each encased in a min- 
 eral wall of gypsum, which in 
 itself, is of low conductivity. It 
 comes in powdered form, put up in 80 lb.sacks. Each sack 
 is marked with the trade-name “Insulex the Gypsum in- 
 sulation” and full directions are given on each sack 
 for mixing and application. Insulex, when mixed with 
 water, expands 3 to 7 times, depending on kind and 
 for purpose used. It sets in 20 to 30 minutes. Tiny 
 confined dead air cells are formed by millions, creating 
 a remarkable resistance to heat, cold and sound. Any 
 desired thickness or shape can be installed. 
 
 Insulex is supplied to make different finished weights 
 per cubic foot—12, 18, 24 and 30 lb. per cu. ft. being 
 the usual standards. The numbers on the sack indicate 
 the number of pounds of that kind of Insulex powder 
 required to make 1 cu. ft. of Insulex in place. 
 
 | y and for industrial uses such as 
 asd pipe and boiler covering, cold 
 storage work, etc. Insulex is used 
 as a lightweight fill for reducing 
 dead load in structures. 
 
 Note the millions of tiny air-cells visible to the eye, 
 making the ideal insulation condition. 
 
 COLD FLOORS “re... Bee 
 
 Uninsutatep Hovssz: 
 
 The heat passes through the ceilings, 
 into the attic, and out through the roof. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Insulex is fire-, vermin- and decay-proof and does not dis- 
 integrate in any way with time or moisture. Composed entire- 
 ly of mineral matter, it cannot decay; being of a refractory 
 nature it cannot burn. Insulex is not of vegetable or animal] 
 origin, consequently will not harbor or attract vermin or ro- 
 dents. These advantages, together with its ease and low cost 
 of application, make Insulex attractive. Insulex does not 
 require any skilled labor or expensive equipment to apply. 
 It bonds perfectly with concrete and other structural mate- 
 rials. It can be installed in old as well as new buildings. 
 
 When poured in place, Insulex 
 expands and flows easily into the 
 smallest crevices and _ cracks 
 and it clings tightly to all 
 joists and studdings, thus effec- 
 tively sealing the structure from 
 heat losses through uninsulated 
 cracks, 
 
 Summer Comfort and 
 Winter Savings 
 
 These two desirable qualities 
 in any home can best be had by 
 Insulex. Homes insulated with 
 Insulex are warmest in winter 
 because there is a more uniform 
 heating of rooms. Rooms heat 
 quicker and retain the heat long- 
 er. Drafts are eliminated and 
 floors made warmer. In homes insulated with Insulex, 
 hard to heat rooms are not known. In summer Insulex 
 makes your home more comfortable because it excludes out- 
 side summer heat, thus improving health and living condi- 
 tions. Insulex can be easily and economically applied to old 
 houses. The cost of its application in an old house will be 
 saved in fuel within two years. In new houses, the saving 
 it effects in cost of construction and saving in reduced boiler 
 capacity and radiation, will frequently offset the original 
 cost of installing Insulex. 
 
 Further Information 
 
 We have standard drawings and specifications for the use 
 of Insulex printed in loose-leaf pamphlet form suitable for 
 filing or reference. We will gladly furnish these upon appli- 
 cation. We also have well equipped engineering staffs who 
 will be glad to go into the solution of your problem if it 
 involves insulation or sound deadening.

 PYROCELL, The Fireproof Insulation: 
 
 New Insulating Efficiency: Pyrocell sets a 
 new standard in building insulation because it 
 combines unequalled heat, cold, and sound in- 
 sulation and fire protection in one material at 
 a cost no greater than that of ordinary insu- 
 lation. 
 
 What Pyrocell Is: Pyrocell is a gypsum material 
 ground to an extremely fine powder. When water is 
 added a gas is formed which expands the mixture to 
 three or four times its original bulk and produces 
 myriads of tiny air cells, each surrounded by a wall 
 of gypsum. As the formula used in the manufacture 
 of Pyrocell assures a uniform release of gas, the air 
 cells are uniform in size and the cell walls are thick 
 and strong. 
 
 The Ideal Insulator: Pyrocell offers the highest 
 obtainable insulating efficiency because it combines 
 both of the requirements of the ideal insulating ma- 
 terial—dead air cells confined in a material which 
 will not itself readily transmit heat. Gypsum is one 
 of the best natural insulators. 
 
 Where To Use Pyrocell: Pyrocell should be used 
 wherever insulation against heat, cold, or sound is 
 desired. Among its many uses the following are im- 
 portant. (1) As insulation and fire protection be- 
 tween wooden studs or joists. (2) As a sound dead- 
 ener, insulator, and fire protection in floors and 
 partitions. (8) In fireproof construction, as a fill 
 between screeds in floors instead of cinder fill. (4)

 How to Use Pyrocell: Pyrocell is easy and 
 economical to use. It can be mixed and ap- 
 plied by unskilled labor and requires no spec- 
 
 ial equipment. The material is packed in 80-pound 
 paper bags and is ready for use with the addition 
 of water in the approximate proportion of two parts 
 of Pyrocell to one part of water, by bulk. Just 
 sufficient water should be used to give the material 
 an easy flow. The Pyrocell should be added to the 
 water at a single operation and must never be poured 
 into the water slowly. Mix thoroughly and quickly 
 until all lumps disappear and pour the mixture at 
 once. Specifications and directions are printed on 
 each bag. 
 
 When properly mixed, Pyrocell can be poured 
 between floor, ceiling, or roof joists; between studs or 
 into insulation spaces 
 in stone, brick, or tile 
 walls. It may also 
 be poured into 
 moulds and laid up 
 like tile between wall 
 studs. Joints can be 
 permanently sealed 
 by wiping with the 
 wet mixture. 
 
 Pyrocell adheres to 
 any surface, makes tight 
 joints, and offers no 
 opportunity for heat 
 leakage or sound transmission. It can be poured into cor- 
 ners that cannot be protected with other types of insulation. 
 
 Enlarged Section of Pyrocell Show- 
 ing Air Cells Surrounded by 
 Gypsum 
 
 Fireproof, Sound Resisting, and Light in Weight: Pyrocell 
 cannot burn and it acts as an effective fire stop. It reduces 
 sound transmission to a minimum because it combines the 
 natural sound deadening qualities of gypsum with the added 
 effectiveness of dead air cells. 
 
 As (No. 24) Terra Cotta Pyrocell weighs only about one- 
 sixth as much as concrete, structural loads can be reduced by 
 using Pyrocell as a fill instead of cinder concrete. Pyrocell 
 is preferable, also, because it can be more easily handled and 
 more quickly applied. 
 
 A Weight for Every Purpose: Pyrocell is furnished in four 
 weights to meet the varying requirements of its different uses. 
 For the convenience and protection of users each weight is 
 colored differently. 
 
 Write for Specifications: Complete information and speci- 
 fications for the use of Pyrocell will be sent upon request.

 THE AMERICAN GYPSUM COMPANY 
 Plant and General Offices: Port Clinton, Ohio 
 
 Product: 
 
 WHITE ROCK is a fireproof wall board offering 
 numerous possibilities for economical wall and eeil- 
 ing construction. It is made of white gypsum rock, 
 hence the name White Rock. 
 
 Advantages: 
 
 Fireproof—Since this wall board is really rock it cannot burn 
 —not only is it non-burnable itself but it prevents the spread 
 of fire. Consequently, White Rock means a real protection 
 for the home or any structure where it is used. Even under 
 severe heat it does not warp or spoil. 
 
 Non-Shrinking—Just as rock does not shrink so White Rock 
 cannot shrink because it is rock. Joints (spaces between 
 boards where they join) will never ‘‘open up’’ by the boards 
 pulling apart. These joints are filled with a joint filler—a 
 supply of which accompanies each order for White Rock—and 
 nailing strips are not required. 
 
 Non-Warping—The use of White Rock assures walls and ceil- 
 ings remaining true and even. This wall board cannot warp 
 or ‘‘buckle’’. It retains its original size and shape under 
 even the most adverse conditions encountered in building. 
 
 It will pay you to insist upon White Rock Wall Board for 
 your job. It can be easily and quickly applied to brick, plaster, 
 studding or matched lumber and decorated by painting, cal- 
 cimining, papering or panelling or a combination of these. 
 
 Uses: 
 
 Covering Walls and Ceilings 
 Clothes Closets 
 Finishing Attic Rooms 
 Fruit Cellars Furnace Rooms 
 Sleeping Porches 
 Farm Buildings Garages 
 Insulation Between Floors 
 Partitions—Permanent or Temporary 
 Store, Office and Factory Partitions 
 Sun Parlors 
 Outside Sheathing under Clapboards 
 Underneath Stairs 
 
 The building of walls and ceiling is a 
 quick, clean and comparatively, simple 
 operation with White Rock.

 joist, then nail side away from joining, then nail ends. 
 
 Ceilings—Erect ceilings first. Tack a strip of wood 
 along the top of studs, 14 inch from ceilings, to hold 
 edge of board. A ‘‘T’’ made of 2x8’s will help hold 
 White Rock in place on ceiling while nailing. If 
 eross joints are necessary see that they are broken. 
 
 Walls—Apply White Rock full length up and down. 
 Begin at the corners and work to openings. Use a 
 pry to lift the Board flush with the ceilings. Fill 
 spaces above and below windows last, using cut pieces. 
 
 Fill—F ill space between edges with the specially pre- 
 pared White Rock joint filler—this will form a 
 smooth, unbroken surface. No nailing strips re- 
 quired. 
 
 Decorating—Rough Finish, Paint, Calcimine or Wallpaper can 
 be used. With White Rock as a base decorative effects of 
 rare beauty (rough texture finish) can be had For painting 
 and caleimining, White Rock forms a perfectly smooth sur- 
 face. The contraction of wall paper when drying will not 
 warp this Plaster Wall Board. 
 
 Your Lumber and Building Supply Dealer: 
 
 Will furnish you with amount of White Rock needed and tell 
 you how to use it for best results. He can also tell you about 
 special lengths of White Rock made up on request.

 Its Application. 
 
 Beaver ‘“Bestwall” is merely nailed to studs 
 and joists, the joints filled with plaster and 
 painted or papered. It can easily be cut by 
 scoring and breaking, or by sawing. It is 
 nailed on all edges, headers being provided 
 in the framing for the ends, with 3rd flat 
 head nails placed at intervals of about 6 in. 
 It is nailed to the center supports about 
 every 12 inches. Plaster for filling is furnished and 
 this is quickly used to fill joints and holes over 
 countersunk center nails. Painting or papering is 
 next and then the job is done, without fear of 
 failure and with no muss or litter.

 Test and Compare. 
 
 Get a piece of “Bestwall’ from your dealer. Dig 
 into its gypsum plaster core with a knife and see 
 how rock-like it is. Break it if you can and note 
 its great strength. ‘Try to tear off its fibre sur- 
 facing. Soak it in water and note the freedom 
 from swelling or other distortion. See how nicely 
 it takes paint or paper. Turn a blow torch on it— 
 it will not burn. Nail it down and test its nailing 
 strength. Bestwall is sold on its merit—its su- 
 perior quality—and it costs no more—give it every 
 test—and compare.

 VEHISOTE—An Interwoven Fibre Board 
 
 Made by 
 
 THE PANTASOTE COMPANY, Inc. 
 249 Vanderbilt Ave., New York City 
 
 TRADE MARK 
 
 VEHISOTE. 
 
 Different Forms of Vehisote 
 
 Vehisote is a wood pulp material formed into a 
 panel without layers or laminations, the fibres being 
 run together, interlocking and interlacing making one 
 solid mass without grain. It cannot split nor crack 
 with the settling of a structure in which it is used 
 and is not affected by vibration. 
 
 Uses 
 
 Vehisote panels for high class walls and ceilings, 
 readily lend themselves to any paint finish and deco- 
 ration. Vehisote Grainboards in mahogany and oak 
 for high class panel effects, need only a coat of fin- 
 ishing varnish after installation. WVehisote Tileboard 
 for bathroom and kitchen walls, hospitals, laundries, 
 ete., can be finished with high gloss enamel in any 
 color desired on the job. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Vehisote panels are in a class by themselves. The 
 board has great resistance to moisture and usage and 
 is remarkably permanent. The surface is of fine 
 smooth texture and when painted is readily kept 
 clean. 
 
 Hundreds of thousands of delivery wagons in the 
 highest type of delivery service are equipped with 
 Vehisote side panels; for the years have proved that 
 it can successfully stand the vibration and weaving 
 of the vehicle, cold, heat, rain and sleet; maintain- 
 ing that lasting finish demanded to show to full ad- 
 vantage the rich art work with which such ears are 
 
 Thirty Days Under Water and Still in Perfect Con- 
 dition 
 In 1911 the steamship ‘‘Madison’’ of the Old Do- 
 minion Line sank off Newport News, and was sub- 
 merged for thirty days. 
 
 When raised and towed to dry dock, the joiner 
 work was no longer serviceable but the panels of 
 Vehisote, used throughout the passenger quarters 
 were in such excellent condition that they were at 
 once reinstalled in the vessel, and are still gwing *¢€ 
 most useful kind of service. 
 
 Vehisote Grainboard 
 
 Vehisote carries with it all the unexcelled qualities men- 
 tioned above. This board is the most perfect imitation of 
 fine mahogany and oak finish and is obtainable in the uniform 
 width of 4 feet and heights up to 14 feet, 5/16 inch thick. 
 The product as it comes from the mill is grained and already 
 has a color coat, requiring only a finishing coat of varnish 
 after installation. Its appearance is vastly superior to any 
 but the most expensive class of veneer and it has no layers 
 which ean separate under the changing conditions of summer 
 dampness or winter heating plants. 
 
 Vehisote Tileboard 
 
 Simulating in appearance the finest tiling job, this board 
 will not crack with the settling of a structure nor will it chip. 
 It is the most sanitary type of wall covering for bathrooms, 
 doctors’ quarters, etce., and its imperviousness to steam and 
 water in all forms makes it the leading product for this use.

Plastergon Wood Fiber Wall Board 
 
 Made by 
 
 THE PLASTERGON WALL BOARD COMPANY 
 
 Philadelphia Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. 
 
 Products 
 
 This company makes a superior grade of Wall 
 Board known as PLASTERGON. This is made in 
 two styles—plain surfaced for use in living rooms, 
 dining rooms, bedrooms and for all general purposes; 
 and embossed with a tile pattern for use in bathrooms, 
 kitchens, laundries, or wherever tile is appropriate. 
 
 A High Grade Wood Fiber Board 
 
 Plastergon is a high grade man-made lumber, made 
 from virgin spruce fiber by first shredding the logs, 
 then strengthening the fibers in a chemical bath and 
 finally matting the fibers, under pressure, into com- 
 pact sheets or ‘‘plis.’’ 
 
 Four of these plies are cemented together to form 
 a rigid, flawless board, smooth and even, and free 
 from knots, cracks, seams or other blemishes found in 
 natural lumber. This laminated construction results 
 in a board of great strength and rigidity—a board 
 that resists warping and twisting yet is light in weight 
 and easy to handle. 
 
 Made Moisture Resisting at the Factory 
 
 Plastergon is not only well made but is finished well. 
 Both sides of every panel are surface sized and sealed 
 at the factory by a protective varnish coating that 
 holds the board to a definite moisture content prevents 
 absorption of moisture from the air, and eliminates 
 the priming coat so that board is ready for the finish 
 coat of paint as soon as it is nailed to the wall. 
 
 A Beautiful and Enduring Wall Finish 
 
 Plastergon is nailed to the studding in new build- 
 ings and can be applied over old plaster walls in 
 
 A Living Room Finished with Plastergon Wood Wall Board 
 
 buildings that are being remodeled or redecorated. 
 It is used for covering both walls and ceilings and 
 when finished in soft tones to harmonize with the 
 decorations it makes a charming room. Its smooth 
 mat surface cannot chip or crack and a wall or ceiling 
 of Plastergon will last as long as the building itself. 
 
 It has been called ‘‘the Board for better results’’— 
 cheap enough to be used in attic, basement or garage 
 ana beautiful enough to be used in the finest room in 
 the house. 
 
 Easy and Inexpensive to Install 
 
 Labor costs for finishing walls and ceilings are 
 reduced to the minimum when Plastergon is used. A 
 saw and hammer are the only tools required and a 
 workman can cut the big panels to measure and nail 
 them in place very quickly. 
 
 Lengths and Widths 
 
 Plastergon Wall Board comes in 32-inch and 
 48-inch widths and in even foot lengths from 6 to 
 16 feet. 
 
 Plastergon Tile Board comes in strips 4 feet high 
 and 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 feet long.

 SHEETROCK, The Fireproof 
 Wallboard 
 
 A Rugged Construction: Sheet- 
 rock is a gypsum wall and ceiling 
 material in unit form, designed to 
 be used in new construction and for 
 remodeling and repairing. It is 
 manufactured in sheets 32 or 48 
 inches wide and 6 to 10 feet long, 
 and consists of a %-inch gypsum 
 core protected by a specially pre- 
 pared fibre covering which is folded 
 to form square, reinforced edges. 
 This edge is patented and assures 
 greater nailing strength and _ per- 
 fectly fitting joints. Sheetrock is 
 extremely strong and, when prop-

 Many Reasons for Using Sheetrock 
 
 Fireproof: Sheetrock makes fire resistive walls 
 and ceilings. It cannot burn, will not add fuel to 
 fire, and, by confining flames to the space in which 
 they originate, actually reduces the fire hazard. Each 
 sheet bears the label of the Underwriters’ Labora- 
 tories, Incorporated, who have tested Sheetrock for 
 fire resistance and structural strength. 
 
 Cannot Warp or Buckle: Because it is made 
 of gypsum, Sheetrock cannot warp or buckle 
 and is not affected by moisture or climatic con- 
 ditions. For this reason the material is adapted 
 to use in moist climates and in locations (cel- 
 lars, creameries, etc.) where exposure to mois- 
 ture is common. 
 
 Takes Any Decoration: When joints and nailheads 
 are concealed with Sheetrock Finisher, the Sheetrock 
 wall offers a permanently smooth base suitable for 
 any type of decoration—Textone, wallpaper, or paint. 
 Panels are unnecessary but, if desired, may be used 
 in any preferred design. 
 
 Insulates: By a special manufacturing process the 
 gypsum core of Sheetrock is composed of millions of 
 tiny air cells. As dead air 
 
 Bes Eh is one of the most effective 
 {7 GIVES A STRONG “~N insulators known to science 
 
 and as gypsum itself is an 
 effective heat insulator, 
 Sheetrock walls and ceilings 
 keep objectionable heat out 
 in summer and keeps build- 
 ings comfortably warm in 
 winter with less fuel con- 
 sumption.

 Sanitary: Sheetrock makes san- 
 itary walls and ceilings because it 
 will not harbor germs and vermin 
 and its tight joints offer no lodging 
 place for dirt. 
 
 Easy to Erect: Sheetrock saws 
 and nails lke lumber and can be 
 applied directly to studs and joists 
 or right over old construction. Be- 
 cause of its ease of handling and 
 the large size of the sheets, Sheet- 
 rock can be rapidly erected. Its 
 use, therefore, reduces construction 
 time. 
 
 Installation Is Simple: 
 
 Sang and Cutting: Use a sharp hand saw. When 
 sawing, place the board on a bench, trade mark side 
 downward, and firmly support it close to the saw- 
 ing edge. Cuts that are to be covered with trim can 
 be made by scoring with a knife or chisel and break- 
 ing over a straight edge. Bevel the cut edge on the 
 face side with coarse sandpaper. Also bevel the mill 
 cut ends before the board is nailed in place. 
 
 Nailing: Use 3d cement coated common nails (flat heads). 
 On old plastered walls that are not furred use 6d cement 
 coated nails. Drive the nails home with the heads 
 slightly below the surface. Do not use a nail set. Draw 
 all edges of Sheetrock firmly and evenly against sup- 
 ports. On all intermediate supports space nails 6 inches 
 apart on ceilings and 9 inches apart on walls. On 
 all sides and ends of boards space nails 3 inches apart 
 and 84 of an inch from the edge—poth walls and ceil- 
 ings. Do not stagger nails on joining edges. 
 
 All four edges of Sheetrock must be nailed. First 
 drive a few nails at the edge of the Sheetrock where it joins 
 the board last applied; nail the first intermediate stud or 
 joist; then nail the second intermediate stud or joist; then 
 nail the edges and, finally, the 
 ends. NAIL FROM THE CEN- 
 TRE OF THE BOARD TO- 
 WARD EACH END. 
 
 Sheetrock Finisher: Sheet- 
 rock Finisher is a specially pre- 
 pared material to be used in fill- 
 ing the joints and nailheads in 
 Sheetrock walls. It is ready for 
 use with the addition of water 
 and may be applied with the 
 special Finisher Knife or with 
 an ordinary putty knife. 
 
 Sheetrock Finisher will not 
 erack or pull away at the edges 
 when it hardens, and assures 
 smooth, permanent walls suitable 
 for any type of decoration.

 cold and sound resisting. Rooms built with Gypsolite 
 walls and ceilings are cooler in summer and warmer in 
 winter. 
 
 Decorating 
 
 With its smooth, hard surface, Gypsolite lends itself 
 readily to all types of interior decoration, such as wall 
 paper, canvas, paint calcimine, ete. 
 
 For Construction or Improvements 
 
 Gypsolite is equally useful for new construction or 
 improvements. A few uses are: attics, partitions, sun 
 parlors, dairies, summer cottages, etc. 
 
 Gypsolite Finisher 
 
 This is a special preparation for filling joints and 
 covering nailheads when Gypsolite is to be finished 
 without paneling. Comes in powdered form and when 
 mixed with water forms a putty cement which is easily 
 and quickly applied. Put up in 5 pound containers.

 GYP-LAP, The Fireproof Sheathing 
 
 Four Materials in One: Gyp- 
 Lap is a gypsum sheathing ma- 
 terial with exclusive advantages 
 which recommend its use to con- 
 tractors and home owners. In 
 addition to providing unequalled 
 sheathing efficiency, Gyp-Lap 
 acts aS a fire stop, insulates 
 against heat and cold, adds 
 strength to the building and 
 eliminates the use of building

 for siding, brick or stone veneer 
 and stucco. 
 
 entire building and gives greater resis- 
 tance to racking and wind stresses. 
 
 Interlocking Edges: Each section of 
 Gyp-Lap has patented edges which 
 interlock perfectly with the adjoining 
 sheets and make wind tight, vermin- 
 proof joints. The use of building paper 
 is unnecessary with Gyp-Lap. 
 
 Fireproof, Insulating, Water Resis- 
 tive: Gyp-Lap cannot burn and it 
 acts as an effective fire-stop. Because 
 it is made of gypsum rock, one of the 
 best natural insulators, Gyp-Lap re- 
 sists the passage of heat—keeps build- 
 ings cool in summer and reduces fuel 
 consumption in winter. It also resists 
 sound transmission and should be used 
 between floors as well as in walls and 
 under roofs. 
 
 Large Sections Quickly Applied: 
 Gyp-Lap is manufactured in wide

 ag 
 The Nearest-Perfect Wall “4 
 and Ceiling Material 
 
 UPSON BOARD IS DIFFERENT 
 
 No matter what your past experience with wallboards, 
 this dependable material will win your approval 
 in scores of ways. 
 
 Harder, Stiffer, Stronger! 
 
 ‘You never realize the real possibilities of a good 
 fibre wallboard until you try dependable Upson 
 Board.’’ 
 
 Dozens of letter in Upson Files—from builder, 
 architects, home owners—bear out this statement. 
 
 Upson Board is different. As an illustration, seven 
 men weighing over 1,000 pounds can be supported on 
 a single panel of Upson Board, whereas under the 
 same test, a panel of gypsum-filled board breaks with 
 less than one-third the weight. 
 
 Resists Moisture 
 
 In another conclusive test, Upson 
 Board immersed in water for a given 
 length of time gained only one-fourth 
 as much weight as a sample of gyp- 
 sum-filled board exposed to the same 
 test. Other fibre wallboards tested 
 in the same way were found to absorb 
 nearly twice as much water as Upson 
 Board. 
 
 Resists Fire 
 
 Dozens of letters in Upson 
 files prove that Upson Board 
 walls and ceilings retard the 
 progress of fire. Upson Board 
 chars rather than burns. 
 
 Resists Heat and Cold 
 
 Other certified tests proved 
 Upson Board a better non-con- 
 ductor of heat and cold—cooler 
 in summer and warmer in win- 
 ter. The closely meshed wood 
 fibres of Upson Board form mil- 
 lions of dead air pockets, the 
 most efficient insulation against 
 any type of climatic condition. 
 
 Resists Jars and Blows 
 
 In another certified test by an 
 impartial laboratory, weights were 
 dropped from several heights upon 
 specimens of different wall materials. 
 Upson Board withstood an impact of 
 40% to 70% more than the other fibre 
 wallboards tested, and nearly 150% 
 more than plaster-filled boards twice as 
 thick. Jars and blows that would ruin ordinary plas- 
 ter walls have little or no effect on Upson Boards. 
 
 Resists Time 
 
 Experience proves the long life of 
 Upson Board. Properly applied, it 
 should never warp or bulge and should 
 lie flat on the wall as long as the build- 
 ing stands. 
 
 Its adaptability to every condition 
 recommends it for constant considera- 
 tion by builder or architect.

 APPLIED 
 
 A few simple pre- 
 cautions that insure 
 a permanently beau- 
 tiful job. 
 
 The big panels of Upson Board are so light in 
 weight that one man can apply them. In remodeling, 
 they are nailed right over the old plaster and furring 
 strips. In new construction, they are applied direct 
 to studs and joists. 
 
 First Preparation 
 
 Plan your panel arrangement first. Write The Upson 
 Company for helpful blue print and suggestions. 
 Then level up all joints and studs to form a perfectly 
 flat and smooth nailing surface. Be sure to place 
 headers or nailing pieces at top of baseboard flush 
 with studs, back of plate rail or picture mouldings, 
 and at angle of ceiling. 
 
 In applying the Upson Board panels, apply the 
 ceilings first. Do not butt the panel edges. Leave 
 3/16 inch space between. 
 
 Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners on intermediate 
 studs eliminate disfiguring nail marks. Nail panel 
 edges as per Upson direction sheets. 
 
 Paint Before Applying Strips 
 
 Upson Board should be painted before the decora- 
 tive strips are applied. Otherwise, if the trim shrinks 
 slightly, it may leave a white edge where the wall- 
 board has not been painted. 
 
 Do not cover Upson Board with wallpaper. Finish 
 it with an attractive shade of any good flat wall paint. 
 
 Apply Strips to Suit Plan 
 
 Many otherwise beautiful Upson Board jobs have 
 been ruined by unsuitable wood trim. Apply beams 
 and mouldings to harmonize with the character of the 
 job. The Upson Design Department will gladly give 
 you helpful practical suggestions. 
 
 Furring Strips Over Old Walls 
 
 When Upson Board is applied to brick, stone or 
 other walls which may contain moisture, furring 
 should be nailed so that each panel can be securely 
 fastened to it. Uneven plastered ceilings should also 
 be furred. 
 
 Upson Self-Clinching Fasteners, patented, invisibly 
 and securely anchor the center of Upson Board panels

 Answers Every Wallboard Question 
 Every builder knows the perplexing problems that 
 
 come up constantly in the good application of wall- 
 board. 
 
 ‘“Hfow shall I treat the trim around doors and win- 
 dows, when Upson Board is applied direct to the studs 
 and window and door casings are made to be used 
 with plaster?’’ 
 
 ‘How shall I treat the baseboard when Upson 
 Board is applied direct over old plaster and the old 
 base is not removed?’’ 
 
 ‘‘What is the proper method to use when Upson 
 Board is applied direct over old lath from which the 
 plaster has been removed ?’’

 Attractiveness: 
 
 A roof of Imperial Shale Tiles 
 can be constructed to harmonize 
 with any type of dwelling. Their 
 rich, warm colorings and_ pleas- 
 ing play of lights and shadows 
 add to the beauty of any home. 
 No other type of roofing can 
 truthfully imitate the variegated 
 color effects that hard-burned 
 
 No Heavier Under-Construction 
 Necessary: 
 
 Tile roofing does not require 
 much heavier underconstruction 
 than other roofing materials— 
 2x6-inch wood rafters, such as 
 are used for ordinary residence 
 construction, have _ sufficient 
 strength to support tile roofing 
 when spaced not more than 16 
 inches on centers. 
 
 Advantages of Imperial Tile 
 Roofing: 
 
 The first cost is its only cost. 
 No paint or stain is needed to 
 retain its original beauty. Ex- 
 amples of their everlasting 
 quality is seen on every hand. 
 European cities abound with 
 structures protected for centuries 
 
 tiles alone yield permanently. 
 
 Many Shapes, Shades and Textures: 
 
 In addition to the four standard shapes shown below, there 
 is an almost unlimited variety of shapes, shades and textures 
 that readily lend themselves to distinctive roofing effects. 
 
 Imperial Spanish Tiles: Are particularly adapted to those 
 styles of architecture that add so much to the picturesqueness 
 of Southern Europe, from the massive buildings of classical 
 form to the small bungalows where romatic or unusual effects 
 are sought. Tiles are formed with a lip-and-lap lock that 
 provides positive potection from the wheather. Length 1314 
 inches; Width 9%4 inches; average exposure 814x101 inches; 
 average pieces per square 171; actual weight per square 950 
 pounds; shipping weight per square, with fittings, 1050 pounds. 
 
 Imperial Closed Shingle Tiles: A pattern widely used to 
 carry out the idea of Colonial or Early English architecture. 
 Has a tongue-and-groove lock and is far superior in actual 
 strength to the ordinary flat shingle. In depth of reveal it 
 aecentuates the horizontal line, avoiding the monotonous effect 
 of other flat roofing material. Length 11 inches; width 8%

 225; actual weight per square 900 pounds; shipping weight 
 per square, with fittings, 1000 pounds.

 Imperial Straight Barrel Mission Tiles: Are recommended 
 for use where a rough and polychromatie effect is desired. 
 Obtainable in an almost unlimited range of colors and shades, 
 it is possible to tone a roof to harmonize ideally with the 
 building it covers and the surroundings. Can be laid either

 Imperial French Tiles: An ‘‘all-around’’ tile that may be 
 used with almost any type of house. Has a tongue-and-groove 
 lock. While the general effect is flat, the convolutions in the 
 surface afford considerable play of light and shadow. Length

 Anaconda-Flintkote COPPERCLAD Strip Shingles 
 
 They Are Enduring in Quality 
 
 Copperclad is an extra heavy weight asphalt 
 
 shingle with a wearing surface of copper 
 99.99% pure. Copper is recognized as the 
 finest roofing material known. It is the 
 long lived roofing material—time and weather 
 have no deteriorating effect upon it. The 
 copper covering strengthens and stiffens the 
 shingle so that the possibilities of curling 
 or of blowing up in heavy winds are 
 eliminated. The result is a shingle of long 
 life and adequate rigidity. 
 
 They Are Fire Resisting 
 
 Copperclad has been awarded the highest 
 rating, Class A, by the Fire Underwriters 
 Laboratories. It has successfully withstood 
 the most rigid tests under all conditions of 
 heat and cold. 
 
 They Are Beautiful 
 
 Copperclad is noted for its beauty as well as its enduring 
 qualities. The color effect is ever changing—no two roofs 
 are alike. The soft blending tones of jade and blue give 
 eolor combinations much sought by the architect and con- 
 tractor. 
 
 They Are Easy to Apply 
 
 Made in the popular strip shingle form they are easily 
 and quickly applied, and the cost of application is cor- 
 respondingly low. No special roof construction or supports 
 are necessary, for Copperclad are light in weight (average 
 weight 250 lbs. per square) as compared to other roofings 
 as permanent and enduring in character and quality. Apply 
 only with copper nails. 
 
 REX FLINTKOTE Gra STRIP SHINGLES 
 
 Only in the making of strip shingles, 
 because of their width, has it been 
 found possible to so blend and diffuse a 
 variety of colors, that when once applied 
 on the roof there is a complete avoidance 
 of sharp color contrasts, of color pattern, 
 splotches of color or ziz-zag streaks of 
 color. 
 
 Colordrift, although widely copied, have 
 not yet been equalled in color warmth, 
 their beauty is unrivalled. The perfect 
 blending of a variety of harmonious colors 
 in a Colordrift roof, adds a wealth of 
 charm and beauty to any well designed 
 home. 
 
 All types of Rex Flintkote Strip Shingles 
 are available in the Colordrift finish. 
 They are applied just as they come in the 
 package, there are no color charts to fol- 
 low there is no sorting or mixing on the 
 job.

 THE PROOF OF THE SHINGLE IS IN ITS APPLICATION 
 
 A shingle may be perfect from the standpoint of 
 its waterproofing qualities and beautiful appearance, 
 but unless it can be laid easily, quickly, safely, and 
 economically, its sale will not survive. It is the ap- 
 plication of the shingle that is the test of its prac- 
 ticability. 
 
 Strip Shingles have met the test—and not only sur- 
 vived, but flourished. Each year their sale has in- 
 
 creased, and today they are easily outselling any other 
 type of shingle. As many are now sold in one month, 
 as were formerly sold in a whole year. : 
 
 Their popularity with all classes of builders has been 
 well deserved for they are easily and quickly applied; 
 to apply them right is easier than to apply them wrong; 
 they are cheaper to apply than any other type of shingle, 
 and they are applied in overlapping units, the only 
 dependable and absolutely safe way. 
 
 Rex Flintlote GIANT Strip Shingles 
 
 The biggest, thickest, stiffest asphalt strip shingle ever made. 
 Once applied they lay like slate or tile—they are so heavy and 
 stiff that they will not blow up in the mind. Compare them 
 with any standard weight asphalt shingle; the comparison will 
 prove they are truly Giants in every respect—Giants in quality, 
 value, and durability, as well as weight, thickness, and size.

 Rex Flintkote 1214” Strip Shingles 
 
 A super-safe roof. These shingles are 1214” deep, and are 
 laid with 4” exposure to the weather. Every contractor knows 
 the advantage of such a shingle over Individuals. They are 
 really four Individual Shingles combined into one strip—and 
 as a result they are easier and cheaper to apply—they are safer 
 too. Colors—red, green, blue-black and beautiful Colordritt. 
 
 Rex Flintkote 10” Strip Shingles 
 
 Tested by years of splendid service they have proved to be 
 absolutely reliable, dependable, and economical. They are the 
 most widely used and popular of all asphalt shingles. Colors: 
 Red, Green, Blue-Black, and beautiful Colordrift. 
 
 Rex Flintkote Hextab Strip Shingles 
 
 A distinct improvement over other types of hexagonal 
 asphalt shingles. They have been designed to meet the 
 demand for an economically priced shingle of most attrac- 
 tive pattern. The cut-outs in the shingle form deep shadow 
 lines up and down the roof, breaking up the diagonal lines— 
 the result is a most pleasing effect. The tab centers right 
 over the top of the cut-out providing a self-aligning feature 
 which makes it the fastest laying strip shingle. Colors— 
 red, green, blue-black and beautiful Colordrift.

 Rex Flintkote K-B Sheathing 
 
 We conscientiously state that K-B Sheathing is 
 the best Sheathing Paper on the market today. 
 It is a single sheet of paper with a continuous 
 sheet of asphalt laid between the liners of the 
 paper when it is made. This sheet of pure asphalt 
 naturally forms a barrier against the passage of 
 water. It repels vermin and resists heat and cold. 
 These insulating qualities are found only in their 
 maximum degree in K-B Sheathing, and K-B 
 Sheathing retains these much desired insulating 
 qualities. It is also odorless, sanitary, durable 
 and economical. It has unusual tensile strength. 
 Because it costs so very little, it is the most profit- 
 able investment for long time protection. To sheathe and insulate 
 the average home with K-B will not add materially to the 
 original cost of the home—an investment that will pay dividends 
 during the life of the house. Use K-B Sheathing all over the house. 
 It is light red in color—flexible to handle. Made in four weights— 
 20, 25, 30 and 40 lbs. per roll of approximately 500 square feet.

NU-TILE ASPHALT SHINGLES tii never cris 
 
 Made by 
 AMALGAMATED ROOFING CO. 
 
 Executive Offices: 431 South Dearborn St., Chicago 
 
 Factories at Clearing, Illinois 
 
 Why NU-TILE Never Curls 
 
 All asphalt shingles le flat on the roof—at first. 
 But when the heat of summer evaporates the com- 
 pound with which they are saturated, a poorly made 
 shingle begins to curl. <A shingle that curls is a 
 shingle that has dried out—that is the long and short 
 of it. Prevent it from drying out and you prevent 
 the shingle from curling. 
 
 Several things are necessary in order to make an 
 asphalt shingle that will not dry out and as these 
 mean more expense and trouble for the manufacturer 
 they are sometimes neglected. 
 
 First you must have a sound, felt base—an all rag 
 left. Then ycu must have a saturating compound 
 that shows no tendency to evaporate. And lastly (we 
 speak from long experience) you must coat not one 
 side of the shingle, or roofing, but both sides. 
 
 Contrary to popular belief, shingles deteriorate 
 more rapidly from below than from above. Hence 
 the need of giving the same careful attention to the 
 under side that is given to the surface exposed to 
 the weather. 
 
 This is the method by which NU-TILE Shingles 
 are made and although they are extensively used in 
 Florida and other parts of the South, not a single 
 ease of curling has ever been brought to our atten- 
 tion. 
 
 Our guarantee that these shingles will not dry 
 out nor curl is based on 10 years’ experience with 
 them under all climatic conditions. 
 
 NU-TILE Means Best Roofing Value 
 
 There is no handsomer roof than one made of 
 NU-TILE Asphalt Shingles. It has a permanent and 
 beautiful coloring, due to the fact that no artificial 
 coloring is used but only such tints as Mother Na- 
 ture provides from her inexhaustible storehouse of 
 minerals. The Red, Green, Blue-Black, White and 
 Golden Buff of NU-TILE Asphalt Shingles, and the 
 Sea Green, Tile Red Blend, Golden Buff, Purple- 
 Bronze and Violet of NU-TILE Tapestry Shingles 
 are obtained without the use of dyes or chemicals of 
 any kind, by using selected rocks, gravel and vitrified 
 tile and porcelain which give the colors desired, either 
 when used singly or in combination with materials 
 of a different color.

 NU-TILE TAPESTRY SHINGLES 
 The Durable Roof Beautiful 
 
 NU-TILE Tapestry Shingles (illustrated on 
 opposite page) are the last word in artistic roof 
 coverings. 
 
 After years of intensive research and experiment, 
 we are now producing not only wonderfully artistic 
 effects, but, as a result of exhaustive tests, a wear- 
 ing quality unequalled anywhere. Through actual 
 use on the roof, we have demonstrated emphatically 
 the durability and beauty of our NU-TILE Tapestry 
 Shingle. Scientifically treated granules, carefully 
 weighed and blended before being spread upon the 
 mastic with which we surface our shingles, create that 
 artistic and permanent workmanship so keenly appre- 
 ciated by home builders. 
 
 All the mineral grits used by us in producing our 
 vari-colored effects have been tested for many years 
 by actual exposure on roofs. It is this superiority in 
 texture, both as to durability in wear and permanence 
 in colors that has given our Asphalt Shingles their 
 tremendous popularity. While very good roof results 
 may be secured through the use of the combinations 
 in fixed design, it has been found that the most artistic 
 effects are to be obtained through the avoidance of 
 any definite plan or pattern in putting on our shingles.

 ber while in transit. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 ErEerRNIT ASBESTOS 
 SHINGLES make a roof 
 that is proof against all 
 weather conditions and 
 one that will stay that 
 way. They add to the 
 
 ; attractiveness of any 
 fades, ASBESTOS SHINGLES nteing. ‘they are pos. 
 
 EtTrerNit ASBESTOS 
 LUMBER is made of the 
 same materials as the 
 shingles but furnished 
 in large sheets. Adapt- 
 able for either interior 
 or exterior construction 
 work and _ particularly 
 for siding, partitions, 
 ete. It is a non-conduc- 
 tor of electricity and, 
 therefore, useful in con- 
 struction work where 
 insulation is necessary. 
 
 Materials and 
 Construction 
 
 ETERNIT ASBESTOS 
 SHINGLES are “‘built 
 up’’ from the best 
 grade of Portland Ce- 
 ment and South Afri- 3 
 can Asbestos Fibre. Authorities agree that this par- 
 ticular fibre is the best for shingle construction on 
 account of its exceptional length and exceeding 
 toughness. It is also tale-free which permits the ce- 
 ment to adhere more closely to it. 
 
 Layer upon layer of close-knit, interwoven fibres 
 that mat into a perfect framework of reinforcement 
 are formed by ingenious machines. The fibres are 
 thoroughly impregnated with Portland Cement and 
 then subjected to tremendous hydraulic pressure 
 which welds the clinging, cement-surrounded fibres 
 into a solid, stone-like, impenetrable mass—stone that 
 is given hardness and body by the cement, and is 
 reinforced and given non-chipping, non-cracking re- 
 siliency by its twisted layers of long, tough, sinewy 
 asbestos fibres. These laminated shingles are much 
 stronger than the ordinary moulded shingle. 
 
 Thoroughly Seasoned 
 
 Then follows a seasoning period of several months 
 which insures a shingle that will he flat under all 
 conditions and that will not develop defects after 
 
 tively fire-proof. There 
 is no cost for upkeep as 
 they require no atten- 
 tion when properly ap- 
 plied. 
 
 Frost cannot crack 
 them nor blazing sun 
 warp them. The insu- 
 lating qualities of as- 
 bestos 1s a barrier 
 against both heat and 
 eold. Their rigidity 
 keeps them from blow- 
 ing up in the strongest 
 wind. 
 
 Colors 
 
 All colors are solid 
 throughout the shingle, 
 being mixed in the ma- 
 terial, and not merely 
 veneered cn the surface. 
 
 Colonial Gray—a bright, clean color that lends a 
 look of neatness and cheerfulness to the whole build- 
 ing. 
 
 Indian Red—a soft, rich shade that harmonizes 
 with almost any color scheme. 
 
 Quarry Blue—giving the subdued, dignified ap- 
 pearance of natural slate. 
 
 Autumn Brown—with its varied hues ranging from 
 a bright copper to a deep chocolate, giving the beauty 
 of an Autumn landscape and the richness of a fine 
 tapestry. 
 
 Green—a beautiful and popular color.

 Styles and Sizes 
 
 Both the American method shingles which are laid 
 straight in a manner similar to natural slate, and 
 the French method shingles which are laid diagonally 
 —honeycomb effect—are furnished in two sizes.

ETERNIT ASBESTOS SHINGLES— (Continued) 
 
 For Re-Roofing 
 
 ETeRNIT Shingles can be laid economically and 
 conveniently right over old shingles, which does away 
 with the expense and litter of removing the old roof. 
 The double thickness of Erernir and wooden shingles 
 gives added protection against heat and cold. Be- 
 cause HErrernir Shingles are rigid and sturdy they 
 lie flat and tight over the inequalities of an old roof, 
 making a smooth, new surface that gives everlasting 
 
 weather-tight protection. 
 How to Apply 
 
 Preparation of roof: Sheathing boards should be 
 
 dry and well seasoned. 
 
 Surface smooth and free from projecting nail 
 
 heads. 
 
 Apply 1 in. x 2 in. furring strip with 1 in. face up 
 
 along hip and ridges. 
 
 Hip strips shall overhang gutter facia 1 in. 
 Lay %4-in. x %-in. lath as a cant strip along edge 
 
 of roof boards at eaves. 
 
 Cover sheathing with asphalt saturated asbestos 
 Leave 4-in. hori- 
 zontal laps and 12-in. laps at hips and ridge. 
 
 felt weighing 14 lbs. per square. 
 
 The French Method Shingle 
 
 French Method 
 
 Draw horizontal chalk line 3 in. up roof 
 parallel with eaves. Apply 4 in. x 16 in. 
 starters with upper edge resting on chalk 
 line and lower edge projecting 1 in. below 
 roof board. 
 
 Draw vertical center line from eave to 
 ridge. Apply triangular second starter on 
 each side of this center line with lower edge 
 flush with lower edge of first starter which 
 it entirely covers. Insert copper storm nail 
 with shank upstanding through hole formed 
 by notches in sides of triangular starters. 
 Apply starters in similar manner to each 
 end of roof. 
 
 Start first course of shingles by laying 
 a full shingle at center line so that the hole 
 in the lower corner receives upstanding 
 shank of copper nail and top corner rests 
 on center line. Fasten shingle with -nails 
 through the other two holes, so that shingle 
 rests firmly, but not too tightly, on pre- 
 ceding course. Proceed towards end of 
 roof inserting copper storm nails as in case 
 of starters. Nail holes are arranged to 
 insure proper lap and help alignment. 
 Shingle is laid so that diagonal lines are 
 on a 40-degree angle with the eaves. Press 
 lower corner of each shingle down firmly 
 and bend shank of copper nail downward. 
 Proceed with application of full sized shin- 
 gles on balance of roof. 
 
 Where dormers occur, care must be taken 
 to insure perfect alignment of courses on 
 each side so that intersection of course 
 above dormers will be perfect. To insure 
 this, draw a chalk line parallel to eaves 
 above top of dormer. After applying each 
 two or three courses alongside of dormer 
 measure the distance from the lower points 
 of last course laid to the gauge line. The 
 distance on each side of dormer must be 
 equal.: 
 
 Importance of Nails 
 
 As soon as the nails are gone, 
 the finest shingles are wasted. 
 
 Common iron nails’ should 
 never be used as they rust 
 away rapidly. 
 
 Galvanized nails have better 
 rust-resisting qualities but cop- 
 per nails are best because they 
 are absolutely rust-proof. 
 While copper nails cost a little 
 more, they are more than 
 worth the difference because 
 they add years to the life of a 
 roof, 
 
 ™ 
 
 Application of Ridge Roll 
 
 The American Method Shingle 
 
 American Method 
 
 Lay one course of shingles horizontally 
 along eave, with lower edge overhanging 
 1 in. below roof boards. Apply first course 
 of shingles for main body of roof, arrang- 
 ing shingles vertically with lower edge flush 
 with lower edge of starting course which 
 is entirely covered. Break all joints. Pro- 
 ceed as with slate, exposing 7 in. to the 
 weather and fasten shingles firmly but not 
 too tightly with two nails in each shingle. 
 Where the special %4-in. thick shingle is 
 used expose 8 in. to weather instead of 7 in. 
 
 Ridges and Hips 
 
 This is the last operation in finishing the 
 roof. On the ridge start at end of building 
 away from quarter where severest storms 
 usually come. On dormers work from face 
 back toward main roof. On hips start at 
 lower end. Ridge is shaped so that larger 
 end of piece being avplied fits over smaller 
 end of preceding piece. Nail a copper ridge 
 roll clip at smaller end of each piece, driv- 
 ing nails through into ridge pole. Larger 
 end of next piece sets over this clip as far 
 as upright strip, which is bent back over 
 succeeding piece to hold it in place. Each 
 piece of ridge pole is nailed fast at smaller 
 upper end and held by clip at larger lower 
 end. To close end of ridge pole cut a piece 
 of shingle exact shape of open end and nail 
 it to end of ridge pole. The Boston hip 
 made of shingles is sometimes used instead 
 of ridge pole. This is similar to method of 
 covering hips with natural slate. ‘

 SELF SPACING SHINGLES 
 
 e € 
 
 The Special Shoulder 
 Seals the Slots 
 
 There’s all the difference in the world be- 
 tween the Vulcanite Self Spacing and any other 
 individual shingle made. The special shoulder 
 builds a double thick, completely sealed roof, 
 making it impossible for weather to work into 
 the roof boards. It makes spacing automatic, 
 assuring a perfect roof pattern. Successfully 
 withstands the attacks of fire and weather. Add 
 to these advantages, the superior quality of 
 the shingle itself and you have the reason for 
 the exceptional protection and longer life of the 
 Vuleanite Self Spacing Shingle. The standard 
 size is 814x123, and it is supplied 102 shingles 
 to the bundle, 4 bundles to the square, weight 
 240 lbs. It is supplied surfaced in either red, 
 green or blue crushed slate. 
 
 Jumbo Size and Weight 
 
 -The new jumbo size and weight added to the 
 many special advantages of the Vulcanite Self 
 Spacing provides a super shingle that cannot 
 help but gain your praise. This new husky 
 shingle measures 11” x 15”, means less shingles 
 
 to lay, gives less joints and a better looking 
 
 pattern from the ground. And it is thicker, 
 tougher and heavier, too. See this extraordi- 
 nary shingle before you purchase any roofing. 
 
 The Beautiful Autumn Blend 
 
 As to beauty, no roof approaches the natural 
 effect of the Vulcanite Self Spacing Autumn 
 Blend Shingle. It gives a roof of softly 
 blended, glowing color. Each shingle is sur- 
 faced with a remarkable blending of vari-col- 
 ored crushed slate and there is an absence of 
 checkerboard effect. 'This shingle, made only 
 in jumbo size and weight will permanently 
 beautify the home at but little more cost than 
 for shingles of standard colors. See for your- 
 self its real beauty and worthwhile advantages.

Winthrop Tapered Asphalt Shingles 
 
 Manufactured by 
 BECKMAN-DAWSON ROOFING CO., 
 
 111 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IIl. 
 Factories at Argo, IIl., and Detroit, Mich. 
 
 Winthrops are the only tapered asphalt shingles made, 
 Because of their distinctive features, Winthrops are speci- 
 fied by the architects of many fine homes. Because of their 
 economy. Winthrops are selected, too, for small homes. 
 There is nothing better for the mansion, nothing more basi- 
 cally economical for the cottage. 
 
 It’s the Taper 
 
 Winthrops are recognized by the profession and trade 
 for the quality of the materials used in them, but it’s the 
 taper—the thick butts—that set Winthrops apart from all 
 other asphalt shingles. 
 
 The thick butts lie flat and snug against the roofing 
 sheathing. Winthrops are tight against sifting snow and 
 driving rain. 
 
 Winthrops do not curl or warp. They can not rot, rust, 
 erack, nor split. 
 
 The thick butts, built up of extra coats of everlasting 
 asphalt on both sides of the heavy felt core double the 
 wearing thickness where wear comes—on the portion ex- 
 posed to the weather. 
 
 Not only do Winthrops give lasting protection against 
 weather but they are a protection against fires caused by 
 sparks and blazing brands falling upon a roof. The fire 
 underwriters approve them. 
 
 Winthrop Beauty 
 
 The beauty of a roof of Winthrops is in part due to the 
 same thick butts. They cast the shadow lines that made 
 the wooden shingle roofs so attractive. This illustration 
 shows the actual shadow lines. 
 
 due to the 
 
 They are 
 non-fading crushed slate, deeply anchored into the asphalt 
 for a surface of lasting beauty. 
 
 Winthrop colors are permanent. 
 
 There’s a variety of colors. 
 red, golden buff are extremely 
 mottled effect. 
 
 Blue black, sea green, tile

 For beauty, for wear, for protection, use and recommend 
 Winthrops. 
 
 Sizes and Styles 
 
 The standard Winthrop Tapered Asphalt Shingle is 10 by 
 13% inches and is laid 41% or 5 inches to the weather. They 
 are supplied in bundles, % square to a bundle. Though 
 they have the thick butts—just about double the thickness 
 of ordinary shingles—a Winthrop roof exceeds but slightly 
 the weight of a roof of ordinary giant shingles. The taper 
 puts the thickness where the wear comes.

 The

 Winthrops are made also 
 length, 32 
 
 the 12 inch are laid 5. The slots are five inches deep and 
 three-fourths of an inch wide. 
 
 In solid colored roofs there’s a speed advantage in the 
 Winthrop 3-in-1, which is the same shingle so far as 
 quality is concerned as the individual. The strips are laid 
 with fewer nails, without chalk lines, and they space auto- 
 matically. The strips are packed three bundles to a square. 
 
 Roll Roofing 
 
 We manufacture also an excellent slate surfaced roll roof- 
 ing in standard weight or extra heavy. This roll roofing is 
 in plain colors or in printed designs to give a shingled ap- 
 pearance. 
 
 Samples Upon Request 
 
 Although most good lumber yards carry Winthrop 
 Tapered Asphalt Shingles, we should like to send a full 
 sized sample and complete, illustrated literature to any 
 home building contractor. In writing please specify the 
 style of shingle and color you wish. 
 
 If you do not know Winthrops take this opportunity to 
 see their beauty and quality. They have the beauty. They 
 have the quality. They have also these distinguishing 
 features—the taper and this trade mark.

 Experience and Facilities 
 
 BIRD & SON, ine., was established in 1795, and 
 after years of experience in the manufacture of pa- 
 per, the company was one of the pioneers in turning 
 its efforts to the manufacture of waterproof building 
 paper and felt roofing. 
 
 The highest quality of materials is maintained 
 through the most up-to-date machinery and methods 
 and a highly efficient personnel. The several mills 
 of the company provide for prompt shipment any- 
 where. 
 
 Bird’s products have been distributed and apphed 
 to buildings of every description throughout the 
 world and have long been known to be of the highest 
 gerade. 
 
 Neponset Twin Shingles 
 
 Neponset Twin Shingles are extra high grade. The depth 
 of 12%4 inches gives three full layers of coverage with *4-inch 
 overreach to catch the nailing of the second higher course. 
 The arched cut-out (a distinctive Bird feature), prevents 
 tearing at the point of nailing. 
 
 Weight, a full 260 pounds per square, packed in 3 bundles 
 of 60 shingles each. Red, green and blue-black slate surfac- 
 ing. Should be applied over roof boards laid close together, 
 sheathed with Neponset Black Building Paper; roofer to fol- 
 low instructions enclosed in each bundle of shingles. Also 
 recommended for application over old wooden shingles. 
 
 Neponset Twin Shingle 
 
 Bird’s Super Twin Shingles 
 
 A 5-in. cutout makes them particularly adaptable for appli- 
 cation over old wooden shingles. They are an extra heavy 
 twin shingle combining the features of Neponset Twins with 
 extra weight and massive appearance. 12%4 in. x 20 in. 
 
 May be laid 4 inches to the weather giving, three thick- 
 nesses of coverage, or may be laid 5 inches to the weather 
 for a particularly heavy and massive appearance. The cut- 
 
 out is 5 inches deep. They are packed 36 shingles to 
 the bundle; 5 bundles to the square, weighing about 
 325 pounds when laid 4 inches to the weather. If laid 
 5 inches to the weather, 4 bundles weighing about 260 
 pounds will cover one square. 
 
 Bird’s Art Blende Twin Shingles 
 
 Bird’s Art Blende Twin Shingles are made 
 in the same sizes and weights as Neponset and 
 Super-Twins, but instead of being plain colors they 
 combine a red, buff and purple in an artistic blend 
 that goes well with practically any type of building. 
 They well may be known as ‘‘The Crowning Glory of 
 the Home.”’ 
 
 Paroid Roll Roofing 
 
 Paroid Roll Roofing is of the highest quality, with a special

 Neponset Black Building Paper has been known and speci- 
 fied by architects for years as a waterproof building paper

 The Mule-Hide Rainbow Shingle 
 
 The same soft blended tapestry color effect, which 
 for many years has been sought by architects and 
 which has heretofore been obtainable only with 
 expensive Bangor slate roofs, is now produced 
 in the Mule-Hide Rainbow roof. In it is pre- 
 sented a soft and beautiful wealth of delightful 
 color hues that intensify in beauty as they grow 
 older. This pleasing natural rainbow effect is 
 secured through the skillful blending of rich 
 non-fading crushed slate and minerals. It may 
 be had in the following types of Mule-Hide 
 shingles: Double thick individual shingle, Giant 
 double thick 3-unit shingle, Super 4-unit shingle 
 and Standard 4-unit shingle.

 Its Toughness’’—No other smooth asphalt roofing 
 offers such ‘‘toughness’’ and durability as does the 
 original Mule-Hide product. Made in medium, heavy 
 and extra heavy weights. 
 
 The quantity of asphalt saturation in Mule-Hide is an 
 index of the wear of that quality—obviously the heavier 
 the weight of saturation the longer wear that Mule-Hide 
 insures. 
 
 Estimated Wear—Medium weight, ten years or more. Heavy 
 weight, twelve years or more. Extra heavy weight, fourteen 
 years or more.

 buildings as the smooth finish roll roofing. The outstanding 
 advantage is the slate surfacing in the various natural red, green 
 and blue-black colors. 
 
 Estimated Wear—Heavy weight, ten years or more.

 solved in high grade solvent and combined with vegetable 
 oils. Restores the partially dried out composition roof, re- 
 stores the elasticity that has been lost through evaporation.

 forever. To be applied with 3-knot brush, coating capacity 
 100 sq. ft. to every gallon can. Where the roof has pinholes 
 or leaks through fine cracks, use

 product as Mule-Hide Asphalt Roof Coating, except that the 
 asbestos fibers it contains make a thicker coat, and when 
 spread over the roof it fills in all small openings. Comes in 
 5, 10 and 50-gal. cans. 
 
 Mule-Hide Gilsonite Root Putty—A thick mixture of Mexi- 
 can asphalt, asbestos fiber, and high grade solvent. Used for

 leaks or cracks on roof gutters and valleys. Applied with 
 trowel. never dries out. Put up in household sizes as well as 
 large packages. 
 
 Mule-Hide Asphalt Built-up Roofs 
 
 Application of Mule-Hide built-up roofs should be such that 
 between each layer of felt a full sheet of asphalt should be 
 applied so that in no case does felt touch felt. 
 
 Felts should be applied by rolling into hot asphalt mopped 
 on just ahead of roll. 
 
 Sections of roofing applied from day to day should be com- 
 pleted each day so that bare felts are not left exposed to the 
 
 weather over night. Method of Laying Mule-Hide Built-up Roof

 Reputation 
 
 There is an iron tyranny which compels those 
 who do good work to go on doing good work. 
 That which is mediocre may deteriorate and 
 no great harm be done but that which has been 
 accorded a good reputation is forever for- 
 bidden to drop below its own best. Conscious 
 of this fact we use every possible means of in- 
 suring that every individual shingle, or other 
 
 product of our manufacture, shall be as perfect as it is 
 possible to make it. All that experience, modern manufac- 
 
 turing methods and equipment, and careful i 
 do to insure a uniform product of the highest

 requires in addition the facilities and equip- 
 ment that give complete supervision and con- 
 trol of the component parts entering into the 
 product. Logan-Long possesses both. In the 
 ownership and operation of our own felt mill, 
 we enjoy the advantage of being always able 
 to obtain that grade and character of rag felt 
 which experience has taught us serves best 
 our purpose. No other factor is so important, 
 since to a great extent the life and service of 
 
 Asphalt Roofing depends upon the felt used as a base. 
 
 TU-EL products are what we aim they shall be because 
 we control every step in the manufacturing process from 
 the selection and grading of rags for the felt base to the 
 
 affixing of label to the finished package.

LOGAN-LONG HEXAGONS—“Color Harmony and Utility Unsurpassed” 
 
 This is the Age of Color! 
 
 On every hand you have proof of it—in the clothing people 
 wear, in the bright tints of wall coverings and draperies, in 
 the increasing use of full range brick work and colored 
 mortar and stuccos. To be in keeping with the colorful 
 world in which we now live the sombre roof of by-gone days 
 must give place to one in which harmonious tints blend in 
 a beautiful symphony of color. Logan-Long Hexagon 
 Shingles are keyed to modern tendencies. They make the 
 roof part of the picture, crowning the home with a roof 
 of surpassing beauty, 
 
 We Want You to See the Shingle Itself 
 
 No illustration can do justice to it. Just say the word 
 and we will gladly send you samples of the four colors in 
 
 which the best of Asphalt Shingles is made. Mottled Red, 
 Mottled Green, Blended Purple and Blended Buff. Lay 
 them side by side and note how perfectly they harmonize. 
 Note the extra deep head-lap of 4% inches and the lock 
 joint that insures accuracy of alignment, both vertical and 
 horizontal, and seals the roof at every point against wind, 
 rain and snow. 
 
 Specifications: 
 
 12%” deep by 16%” wide. Standard Weight, approxi- 
 mately 205 lbs. per square—3 bundles to the square—70 
 shingles to the bundle. Extra Heavy Weight, approximately 
 280 lbs. per square—4 bundles to the square—53 shingles 
 to the bundle. All bundles packed with wood board top, 
 and bottom and bound with wire.

 Enduringly Tough and Strong 
 
 Nasco Shingles are manufactured 
 from the most ideal combination of raw 
 materials available for the roof—the 
 finest quality, specially-prepared hydrau- 
 lic cement and genuine Chrysolite-as- 
 bestos fibre—minerals that cannot rot 
 and are everlasting. Pure metallic oxide 
 colors are used (no vegetable or aniline 
 dyes) so that the colors are fast and permanent and 
 the roof will never require painting. 
 
 Therefore, if you figure on the cost-per-year basis, 
 Nasco Shingles are the cheapest and best for every 
 home. 
 
 Defies All Climatic Conditions 
 
 The insulation qualities of Nasco Shingles against 
 heat and cold are remarkable. You actually save coal 
 in the winter and the sun’s strongest rays have no 
 effect on a Nasco Roof. 
 
 A salty or moist atmosphere causes the majority 
 of roofing materials to decay very rapidly, but cli- 
 matic conditions will never affect Nasco Shingles. 
 
 You can therefore readily appreciate that when 
 Nasco Shingles are applied, you will be able to FOR- 
 GET YOUR ROOF AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.

 Anti Fire 
 
 Fire caused by sparks on roof is the 
 second largest factor in Uncle Sam’s 
 tremendous annual fire loss of over 
 $500,000,000.. Consider the added safe- 
 ty and comfort afforded you by a Nasco 
 Roof, which is absolutely fireproof. 
 Sparks are harmless on Nasco Shingles 
 and a fire in a house with a Nasco Roof 
 can very readily be prevented from spreading, but 
 when a house with an inflammable roof burns, it be- 
 comes a menace to the entire neighborhood. 
 
 Heather 
 Autumn Leaf Brown 
 Chrome Green 
 
 A Nasco Roof will lower your fire insurance pre- 
 mium, because asbestos shingles have been given the 
 highest rating by the Fire Underwriters Laboratories. 
 
 No Repairing Necessary 
 
 The roof should remain in A-1 condition as long 
 as the house stands and when this is possible at a 
 nominal initial cost, without the necessity of looking 
 after the roof from time to time, you certainly should 
 avail yourself of the opportunity—Naseco Asbestos 
 Shingles afford every advantage and not a single 
 come-back, no matter what sort of roofing test you 
 put them to. 
 
 There are innumerable uses in the home for Nasco Asbestos boards—flat and 
 eorrugated—for sheathing, wallboard, roofs, fireproofing, partitions, ete. Flat

 Natroco Shingles 
 
 These shingles are cut from our best quality of roofing, 
 surfaced with red, green or blue-black crushed slate. The 
 asphalt insures stiffness in the shingle, and its binding 
 and adhesive qualities permanently hold the mineral sur- 
 facing thus contributing to the long-wearing qualities of 
 the roof.

 long by 10-14 inches wide, each slab containing 4 shingles. 
 The shingles are self-spacing and only 4 nails are required 
 to each slab. These shingles are made of high-grade roofing 
 felt, thoroughly saturated with mineral asphalt, on top of 
 which is deposited an extra heavy layer of asphalt cement 
 into which, while hot, are embedded uniform particles of 
 crushed slate. Colors are Red, Green and Blue-Black. 
 Packed in convenient bundles each containing 51 slabs. Two 
 bundles cover one square and weigh about 210 lbs. We 
 could tell you a lot more about these better shingles but

 of joint leakage, and making a one-piece 
 continuous’ roof. Security Roofing is

 Uses 
 
 To provide the most dependable and at the same 
 time economical roofing for homes, garages, barns, com- 
 mercial structures, manufacturing establishments. Also 
 to bring to them the finish, attractiveness, and beauty 
 which they deserve. 
 
 Safekote Shingles are especially handsome. Hand- 
 some in colors as well as in effect. The green, red and 
 blue-black shades are appropriate to any building which 
 has a sloping roof. All types are made in the three 
 colors. 
 
 COLORMIXT, a new Safekote Shingle, is a favorite 
 with home builders. It is unusually beautiful. These 
 shingles meet every need for color in the roof. They 
 offer new beauty, originality in roof effect, and 
 guaranteed protection. At present they are made only 
 in the “300 to 1” Individuals and 12144” Standard 
 “4 in 1” Strips. 
 
 Construction 
 
 SAFEKOTE materials are the best of their kind the 
 world affords. Manufacturing processes are the finest 
 yet developed. All-rag felt is used as the base of Safe- 
 kote Shingles and roll roofing. It is remarkably strong 
 and durable. This is completely saturated with finest 
 quality asphalt and then lastingly surfaced with crushed 
 slate in permanent colors. ‘The finished products are 
 fire-resistant, proof against years of hardest weather, 
 and fully guaranteed. . 
 
 SAFEKOTE Shingles are heavier than ordinary 
 kinds. The increased dimensions of the “300 to 1” 
 Individuals and the “3 in 1” Giants cut down the time 
 and labor of laying. <A point especially appreciated by 
 contractors.

 FOR RE-BEAUTIFYING OLD HOMES 
 
 Close-up of home of Mr. Wm. Zimmerman, Buffalo, N. Y., showing 
 how easily any type of home may be re-beautified with Creo-Dipts. 
 
 FOR NEW ROOFS AND SIDE WALLS ON THE OLD HOME 
 
 Creo-Dipts Mean Year ’Round Work 
 
 In your town there are dozens of old 
 clapboard houses that can be completely 
 modernized by re-roofing and by laying 
 Creo-Dipt Shingles right over the old sid- 
 ing—work that can be done in your usual 
 slack seasons. 
 
 Laid Right Over 
 Old Siding 
 
 For the builder, this 
 Creo-Dipt method of re- 
 beautifying is particu- 
 larly profitable. The 
 Creo-Dipt Shingles are 
 laid right over the old 
 siding. ‘There is no ex- 
 pensive preparation ; lit- 
 tle more cost than one 
 thorough painting. Once 
 the Creo-Dipts are ap- 
 plied, the job is finished, 
 because Creo-Dipt Shingles come already 
 stained and require no painting. 
 
 Creo-Dipts Save Their Cost 
 
 Where ordinary clapboards usually re- 
 quire seven thorough paintings in twenty 
 years to preserve the wood from rot, Creo- 
 
 The Townsend home in Leroy, N. Y., re-beautified 
 with 24-inch gray Creo- Dipt’ Shingles laid right 
 over old siding. 
 
 Dipts require only one brushecoat every ten 
 years; in fact, many owners never re-stain 
 them at all. 
 
 In painting expense alone, over a twenty 
 year period, Creo-Dipts save their cost in 
 reduced upkeep. 
 
 And in addition, Creo- 
 Dipt outside walls and 
 roof save fuel. One home 
 owner figures he saved 
 three tons of coal the 
 first winter, while in 
 summer the house was 
 cooler. 
 
 Many Colors—Many 
 Possibilities 
 
 Creo-Dipt Shingles 
 come in a wide variety 
 of colors and sizes suit- 
 able for every type of 
 house. 
 
 They are stocked by representative lum- 
 ber dealers everywhere. Ask your dealer 
 to show you samples and color pad. Or, 
 write for portfolio of large photographs of 
 old homes re-beautified with Creo-Dipts and 
 new homes designed by prominent archi- 
 tects and for booklet of color suggestions.

 FOR ROOFS AND SIDE-WALLS ON THE NEW HOME— 
 Creo-Dipt Beauty Pays Its Own Way 
 
 For the new home, even the first cost of Creo-Dipt 
 side-walls and roofs is less than that of ordinary ma- 
 terials. And over a period of years, Creo-Dipt beauty 
 pays its own way—for on new homes as on old—Creo- 
 Dipts mean astonishing sav- 
 ings in upkeep. 
 
 How Creo-Dipts Save 
 Paint Bills 
 
 Creo-Dipt Shingles are se- 
 lected red cedar, thoroughly 
 stained and preserved by our 
 own process. Architects and 
 builders have learned that 
 Creo-Dipt colors are durable 
 eolors—that the individual 
 method of staining makes col- 
 ors uniform from one end of 
 a shingle to the other. 
 
 The fact that Creo-Dipts 
 come already stained saves 
 painting when they are put 
 on the job. In twenty years, Creo-Dipt side-walls 
 and roofs eliminate enough repainting to save every 
 penny of their cost.

 let of color suggestions. Or ask your lumber dealer— 
 (Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles are stocked by leading 
 lumber dealers everywhere) 
 —to show you a Creo-Dipt 
 color pad.

 If you are interested in 
 Creo-Dipts for thatched ef- 
 fects, write for portfolie of 
 photographs of actual Creo- 
 Dipt thatched roofs and in-

 for design and construction. 
 This is free to builders. 
 
 Creo-Dipts Mean 
 Salability 
 
 Builders everywhere like Creo-Dipts because they 
 add to the salability of a home. To the prospective 
 buyer, they mean lowered upkeep in the years to 
 come; and Creo-Dipts have been so strongly adver- 
 tised, home owners everywhere recognize their known 
 value.

 Trade Mark Registered 
 
 Machine Staining Insures Thorough 
 Penetration and Uniform Shades 
 
 All Bear Brand Shingles—“The 
 Shingle Beautiful”—are stained by a 
 patented mechanical process that in- 
 sures thorough penetration of the stain 
 and uniform shades. Nothing is left 
 to chance or to the skill of the operator, 
 as in the hand-dip method of staining. 
 The machine tender merely feeds the bundles of shingles 
 to the machine and removes them when the staining 
 operation is completed, the operation of the machine 
 itself being automatic and pre-determined so that each 
 shingle received exactly the same treatment. 
 
 The shingles are completely immersed in the stain 
 for a much longer period than is practicable by the 
 hand dipping method, and all excess stain is removed 
 by centrifugal force, resulting in a uniformity of shade 
 unattainable by any other method. 
 
 Shingles Thoroughly Dried Before Staining 
 
 Bear Brand Shingles are immersed in the stain while 
 they are still warm from the kilns, absolutely free from 
 moisture and with the pores of the wood open—in other 
 words in the best possible condition to absorb the stain. 
 This fact, coupled with the long immersion under 
 pressure results in the thorough penetration which is 
 necessary to insure durability of the shingle and per- 
 manence of color. 
 
 Quality of Stain 
 
 Only the highest grade pigments and preservatives 
 are used in the manufacture of “The Shingle Beauti- 
 ful.’ The cresote used is refined until all traces of 
 tar acids and sulphur are removed, and is then mixed 
 with high grade boiled linseed oil and China wood 
 oil. The colors used are the best ob- 
 tainable, free from adulteration of any 
 kind. By our patented process of 
 mechanical staining the pigments used 
 are kept constantly in suspension in 
 the staining fluid without requiring 
 the addition of any filler or fluffy 
 material for this purpose. 
 
 Write for Booklet 
 
 The story of “The Shingle Beauti- 
 ful” is completely and interestingly 
 told in a booklet printed in three colors, 
 which will give you some idea of the 
 beauty of Bear Brand Stained Shingles 
 as well as illustrating how to use them 
 most effectively. We shall be glad to

 For Life-Long Roofs and Sidewalls 
 
 WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles are used on 
 sidewalls as well as roofs and when applied with zinc- 
 coated nails that do not rust will give 50 years of service 
 on roofs and last as long as the building on sidewalls. 
 The soft, semi-transparent colors add much to the at- 
 tractiveness of a home as WEATHERBEST stain 
 emphasizes the grain of the shingles just enough so 
 that the flat tone of a painted surface is absent. 
 Reliability and Quality 
 
 WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles and stain have 
 been on the market for the past fifteen years and can 
 be thoroughly relied upon to give entire satisfaction. 
 Each bundle carries the WHATHERBEST label and is 
 our guarantee of perfect material and lasting colors. 
 Only the finest 100% Edge Grain British Columbia 
 Red Cedar is used in the manufacture of WHATHER- 
 BEST Stained Shingles. Every shingle is perfect from 
 tip to butt. WEATHERBEST Stain consists of the 
 strongest color pigments obtainable, high grade wood 
 creosote and linseed oils—all properly mixed in our 
 factories in the correct proportion to insure lasting, 
 uniform colors. All shingles are unbundled at our 
 factories and treated separately—not bundle dipt as 
 is the case with many other stained shingles. After 
 treatment, the shingles are rebundled and come ready 
 to lay. No brush coat is required after shingles are laid. 
 
 Variety of Weather-Tested Colors 
 
 Twenty standard WEATHERBEST colors, any 
 number of color schemes for beautiful variegated color 
 roofs, and the fact that we match special colors with- 
 out extra charge allows an almost unlimited means of 
 carrying out any color idea desired when WHEATHER- 
 BEST Stained Shingles are used. 
 
 A postal will bring this set of color samples which 
 show WEATHERBEST colors on Red Cedar. Also 
 ask for literature suggestive of the many color schemes 
 available with WEATHERBEST.

 Why Weatherbest Always Lie Flat 
 
 The prime essentials in stained shingle effects which 
 give permanent satisfaction are (1) even, durable 
 color and (2) freedom from curling and warping. 
 WEATHERBEST Edge-Grain shingles can be counted 
 on for these essentials. The two pictures below ex- 
 plain why WEATHERBEST colors last and the 
 shingles do not curl. 
 
 A photographic reproduction of 100% Edge-Grain Red 
 Cedar Shingles used exclusively in the manufacture of 
 WHATHERBEST Stained Shingles. These Edge-Grain 
 shingles readily absorb and retain the maximum amount of 
 color. Edge-Grain and the creosote preservative is the 
 reason why WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles lie perfectly 
 flat during their many years of service. 
 
 The picture above shows poorly manufactured, flat or 
 “Slash” grain Red Cedar Shingles. The hard, flint-like 
 surface of the flat grain cannot absorb and hold color. 
 These are the kind of shingles that curl, warp and split 
 after a few years of service.

 WEATHERBEST Stained Shingles are adaptable 
 to nearly every style of building-—from the small 
 cottage or bungalow to the stately. country home. A 
 wide range of colors, variegated color schemes, various 
 sizes and many wnique ways in which WEATHER- 
 BEST Stained Shingles can be laid make it possible 
 to give real individuality to a home. 
 Weatherbest Variegated Color Roofs 
 
 For WEATHERBEST Variegated Color Roofs usu- 
 ally several shades of one color are used. We properly 
 proportion and mix the various colors selected in the 
 bundle so that the carpenter lays a WEATHERBEST 
 Variegated Color Roof in just the same manner as an 
 ordinary one color roof and without any extra labor. 
 WEATHERBEST Variegated Color Roofs are shown 
 in color in our booklet, “Beautiful Roofs” which will 
 be sent free on request. 
 For Remodeling Old Homes 
 
 If you own a home that is “growing old”—that is 
 in need of “fixing up’—WEATHERBEST Stained 
 Shingles right over 
 the old clapboards 
 will work wonders 
 in transforming the 
 old house into one 
 of more modern day 
 earens his 
 method of adding 
 many dollars in re- 
 sale values to old 
 homes is being done 
 all over the country 
 and when a porch is 
 added or enclosed, 
 and perhaps other 
 minor _ exterior 
 changes also made 
 the results are in- 
 deed surprising. 
 
 You can re-cover 
 old Plaphoard siding with WEATHERBEST Stained 
 Shingles at only a very little more than the cost of 
 repainting and because WEATHERBEST Stained 
 Shingles require only a brush coat of stain once every 
 five or six years to renew their original freshness the 
 color upkeep of WEATHERBEST is much less than a

EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES 
 
 Made by 
 
 EDGECUMBE-NEWHAM CO., LIMITED 
 VANCOUVER, B. C. 
 
 From the log to a linseed oil non-fading Kolored Shingle, 
 all under the same roof 
 
 Timber Used 
 
 All EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES are manu- 
 factured from British Columbia Upland Red Cedar, 
 acknowledged by experts as the best wood for 
 shingles. 
 
 Manufacture 
 
 After the logs are cut to length required, the bolts 
 are then quartered to make strictly edge-grain shin- 
 eles. The material during each operation is inspected 
 by workmen and inspectors until each shingle is 100% 
 edge-grain, 100% clear, 100% heart, smoothly sawn 
 and otherwise well manufactured. 
 
 These shingles have the British Columbia ‘‘ Edg- 
 erain’’ inspection brand. 
 
 Kiln Drying 
 These shingles are carefully dried in improved 
 dry kilns and are not over dried. 
 
 Edham Kolors 
 
 Strictly pure colors are used in the manufacture 
 of our ‘‘kolor’’, ground in our own plant. After 
 thoroughly grinding the colors in linseed oil, the 
 ‘‘kolor’’ is made by thoroughly mixing the ground 
 colors in correct proportions with pure linseed oil, 
 pure creosote oil, lighter oils and binders. The result 
 
 is a linseed oil ‘‘kolor’’ of the highest quality. 
 Our chemist constantly analyzes all oils and colors 
 for purity. 
 
 How Colors Are Applied 
 
 The edge-grain shingles are completely and indi- 
 vidually dipped by hand (not in bundles), while 
 warm from the dry-kilns, and before any moisture 
 is absorbed—insuring penetration and complete coy- 
 ering. Then, are allowed to drain off before re- 
 bundling. 
 
 Reinspection 
 
 Before repacking, the shingles are reinspected, and 
 any shingles defective in any way are discarded. 
 
 How to Identify 
 
 EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES is_ plainly 
 stamped in red letters on the band-stick on each bun- 
 dle, and, in addition, a tag showing the grade and 
 color number is inserted between the band-stick and 
 the shingles.

Permanence of color is all-important in 
 stained shingles. 
 
 Mauk Double-Dipped Stained Shingles 
 
 retain their rich, vivid color permanently. 
 
 The Mauk~double-dipping process se- 
 cures results which are impossible in 
 
 single-dipped shingles. 
 
 ln painting a house at least 
 two coats of heavy paint are

Made of pure virgin 
 red cedar 
 
 Mauk Double-Dipped Stained Shingles are made of pure 
 virgin red cedar, 100% clear, 100% vertical grain and 
 100% heart—no sap. 
 
 The shingles are the highest grade produced. All 
 cheap grades are rigidly excluded. 
 
 All Mauk Shingles are 
 Double-Dipped 
 
 Stain, like paint, is judged by its ability to stand up under 
 exposure to the weather. Mauk Double-Dipped Stained 
 Shingles give extra service because they are made of the 
 finest quality wood, and given extra wear-resisting quali- 
 ties through the double-dipping process. 
 
 Naturally, no single-dipped shingles can retain their color 
 as long as shingles which are double-dipped, for the same 
 reason that no single coat of paint on a house will wear as 
 long as two coats.

 In the illustration at right, 
 the upper part shows results 
 secured with single dipping, 
 and the lower part with the 
 Mauk Double-Dipping pro- 
 cess. Note the extra heavy 
 coating on the double-dip- 
 ped shingle, which requires 
 no further brush coat, and 
 retains the color perman- 
 ently. 
 
 Pure stains which retain 
 their true color 
 
 The stains used in Mauk Double-Dipped Shingles are 
 pure colors. For instance the green is not a chrome 
 green built up of a blue and yellow base—but a pure 
 natural mineral color, and for this reason does not fade 
 to blue or yellow on exposure. The grays and other colors 
 are equally reliable and true, even after long exposure, 
 
 Mechanical application of stain 
 insures evenness and per- 
 manence of color 
 
 By the Mauk process the stain is forced into the wood 
 under pressure. This process assures an even and thorough 
 diffusion. After the first dipping the shingles are dried 
 and again stained under pressure. 
 
 Mauk Double-Dipped Shingles are free from streakiness 
 and unevenness of color. Every shingle receives two 
 complete coats of stain; no later brush-coat on the job is 
 necessary. 
 
 Many beautiful and unusual effects can be obtained by the 
 use of Mauk Double-Dipped Specialties in various com- 
 binations, for instance the “Monarch” and “Colonial Shake” - 
 illustrated below.

 Base of Ohio Metal Copper Bearing Steel 
 
 Hundreds of tests in all parts of the country under varying 
 atmospheric conditions have shown steel alloyed with copper to 
 be highly rust resisting in an uncoated state. Naturally, there- 
 fore, in developing conductor pipe to outwear all other pipe, 
 Wheeling engineers employ a copper bearing steel as the basis 
 of Wheeling pipe manufacture. 
 
 Terne Coated 
 
 Terne coating, employing a combination of lead and tin is the 
 first process Wheeling uses in preparing the Ohio Metal Copper- 
 Bearing Steel sheets before forming into pipe. The lead coating 
 
 is sweated into the seam when the pipe is formed and dipped : EN SES posts ae 
 in zine—thus securely soldering the seam. mal hetchien acces 
 
 Terne coating dispenses with acid pickling (the method usually 
 used for galvanizing), and thereby eliminates all possibility of 
 acid remaining in the pockets of the seams. 
 
 Zinc Coated (Galvanized After Forming) 
 
 After the Terne coated Ohio Metal Conductor Pipe is completely 
 formed, it is immersed in pure molten zine by the hand-dipping 
 process. A heavy coating of uniform density and thickness is given 
 to the pipe on inside and outside surfaces, including edges, while 
 the seam is also permanently sealed both inside and out. The 
 heavy coating remains an unbroken protective shell that renders 
 
 the pipe as immune to rust as could possibly be conceived. Sea OBIT al Beatie 2

 The pine lumber manufacturers of California and the 
 Klamath Falls, Oregon, district form our membership. 
 This Association is not a sales organization. The mills 
 have associated themselves together to promote efficiency 
 in manufacturing, uniform grading, and the dissemina- 
 tion of information pertaining to the proper uses of 
 their product. 
 
 Services: 
 
 A trade extension department is maintained to assist 
 architects, builders, manufacturers, dealers, and con- 
 sumers in all matters relating to the proper use of these 
 woods. Architects and builders are requested to write 
 us for information relative to their uses for lumber or 
 its reworked products. We will advise the kinds, grades, 
 and sizes of lumber we recommend for specific uses.

 The Species “Pinus Ponderosa” (California White Pine) Attains Its 
 Largest and Finest Growth in the California District. 
 
 CALIFORNIA WHITE PINE 
 
 Why CALLED “CaLirorntA WHITE Pinr’—The 
 botanical name of this wood is Pinus Ponderosa. The 
 name of “California White Pine” was given to it 
 because of its color and softness, long before it was 
 shipped East and became a general commercial wood. 
 
 The physical properties of California white pine, as 
 demonstrated in tests made at the United States govern- 
 ment Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, 
 and its uses, align it with eastern white pine. 
 
 Characteristics of Growth in California: 
 
 The species of soft pine from which California lumber 
 is obtained grows over the entire western mountain 
 section of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from California 
 south to Mexico, and north into British Columbia. 
 However, a species of tree growing over so wide a 
 range often attains its most perfect growth in one 
 particular region. 
 
 This region, for Pinus Ponderosa, is California and 
 the Klamath Falls, Oregon, district, including both the 
 eastern and western slopes of the Sierra Nevadas and 
 the Siskiyou Mountains. Here the winter snows deeply 
 cover the tree’s roots, and the summer sun bathes the 
 trees in a flood of warmth, causing the trees to attain 
 their largest size and finest quality. 
 
 California white pine reaches its most perfect growth 
 at altitudes of 3500 to 6000 ft. 
 
 The California white pine trees grow tall and straight 
 to a height of 125 to 175 ft. with an average diameter 
 from 3 to 4 ft., though individual trees reach a height 
 of 200 ft., and a diameter of 8 ft. 
 
 A CALIFORNIA SUGAR PINE MONARCH OF THE FOREST 
 
 This tree was 9 ft. 2 in. in diameter above the swell of the butt. 
 The first 16-ft. log scaled 6200 board ft.; the second scaled 5280 
 board ft. The whole tree produced 32,340 board ft. of lumber, 
 enough to build two good-sized houses, 
 
 CALIFORNIA SUGAR PINE 
 
 A True White Pine—Sugar pine is, botanically and phys- 
 ically, a true white pine. [{t has five slender needles in each 
 cluster, and the clusters occur in feathery tufts at the ends 
 of graceful branches, as do those of its eastern relative, 
 the white pine of New England and the Lake States. 
 
 In cell structure sugar pine is also a white pine. The 
 longitudinal cells are uniform in size and regularly spaced. 
 The radial cells have smooth walls. There are no alter- 
 nately hard and soft rings in the wood. 
 
 Tests on sugar pine made at the Forest Products 
 Laboratory, at Madison, Wisconsin, speak volubly of its 
 excellence, and show it to be almost identical in many of 
 its most important qualities with the white pine of the Hast. 
 
 Characteristics of Growth: 
 
 Sugar pine grows chiefly in California at elevations of 
 from 3000 to 9000 ft. The largest trees and heaviest stands 
 are found on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada 
 Mountains. 
 
 Sugar pine is the largest of the numerous pine family. 
 It has a tall, straight trunk with a rich purple-brown or 
 cinnamon-red bark. It grows, ordinarily, from 150 to 175 
 ft. high and from 4 to 5 ft. in diameter, though occasional 
 specimens 230 ft. high and 12 ft. in diameter are seen. 
 
 The tree is exceptionally free from disease, and this, as 
 well as its large size, makes possible the production of 
 large quantities of lumber of high quality which can be 
 seasoned without checking or warping. 
 
 Special Uses for Sugar Pine: 
 
 California sugar pine is especially valuable in those parts 
 of the building that are exposed to extreme weather condi- 
 tions, aS well as for certain industrial purposes where the 
 wood requirements are most rigid. The extremely fine 
 characteristics of sugar pine make it unsurpassed and most 
 desirable for the following special uses: 
 
 Patterns, foundry flasks 
 Drafting tables Organ pipes 
 Piano keys Textile machinery 
 
 Tanks and silos 
 Boat decking

 BHeAtnIDe Joists 
 Subflooring Studs

 Characteristics: 
 Color: Grayish white. 
 Weight: Light. 
 Odor and Taste: None wnen dry. 
 
 Physical Properties: 
 Does not stain. 
 Texture: Moderately soft and uniform. 
 Durability: Good when kept dry. 
 Shrinkage: Very moderate. 
 
 Mechanical Properties: 
 
 In its mechanical properties, California White Fir 
 compares closely with Sitka Spruce and Eastern Hem- 
 lock. In strength as a beam or post, in hardness and 
 in stiffness, white fir is placed in the same class with 
 spruce and hemlock. It is considered to have much 
 the same shrinkage as hemlock, and a little less than 
 spruce. 
 
 The value of this species is proven by its similarity 
 to the Eastern hemlock, which, for many years, has 
 been the principal framing lumber in many sections of 
 the East. 
 
 Advantages in Use: 
 
 California White Fir has many advantages for its 
 more important uses. 
 
 Light Weight and Easy Cutting: 
 
 The light weight and the ease with which White Fir 
 may be cut and handled are important for rapid, 
 efficient construction. A carpenter working with this 
 wood will do more and better work than when using 
 a heavier, harder wood. 
 
 Seasoning: 
 
 The fact that this lumber is seasoned at the sawmill 
 is of importance to the retail lumber dealer and to the 
 ultimate consumer. It reduces the cost of transporta- 
 tion and saves space in the retailer’s yard. Seasone | 
 lumber can be piled in from one-third to one-fifth the 
 space required for green lumber. Furthermore, loss 
 from defects which develop during seasoning need not 
 be borne by the dealer. There is no danger that this 
 lumber will be put into a home while still green—a fact 
 which means less settling and distortion of the frame- 
 work, gives greater holding power to the nails, and 
 constitutes a protection against decay. 
 
 Dressing: 
 
 Dressing !umber at the sawmill after it has been 
 seasoned is also important to dealer and user. Wood, 
 even of the saine species, does not shrink uniformly, 
 and lumber which has been dressed while green will be 
 found of varying thickness and widths after it dries. 
 This is especially important with lumber dressed to a 
 tongue and groove, or shiplap pattern, and with dimen- 
 sion lumber. Framing lumber that has been dressed 
 green requires more work on the part of the carpenter 
 to secure level floors and walls of uniform thickness. 
 Floor joists that have been dressed while green and 
 seasoned afterwards are often found to vary from 14 to 
 1% inch in width. Another important factor in dry 
 dressing is that lumber dresses much more smoothly 
 than when run green. It is also free from the dust and 
 dirt which is apt to collect during the seasoning process, 
 and presents a clean, smooth appearance to the buyer 
 and user. 
 
 Knots Are Tight: 
 
 Generally speaking, the knots in White Fir are com- 
 paratively tight. This is of particular importance in 
 the use of this wood for concrete forms, sheathing, 
 sub-flooring, barn boards and many other uses. Many 
 of the knots are encased, but fixed in position.

Beautiful Birch—for Beautiful Interior Woodwork

 NORTHERN HEMLOCK & HARDWOOD MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 
 AND ROTARY BIRCH CLUB 
 231 F. R. A. Building, Oshkosh, Wis. 
 
 Products: 
 
 Interior Trim: 
 
 Birch Lumber and Birch Rotary Cut Veneer 
 made from unequalled stands of Yellow Birch 
 (Betula Lutea), in the great hardwood forests 
 of Michigan and Wisconsin, also known as 
 gray birch; and from Sweet or Cherry Birch 
 (Betula Lenta). 
 
 Description: 
 
 No distinction is made between these closely 
 similar species, as a rule. Both species pro- 
 duce lumber sold commercially as unselected 
 or mixed color birch, selected red birch and selected white 
 birch. Red and white birch are not different species as 
 the red birch is the slightly reddish heartwood, and white 
 bireh the outer part of the same tree. Unselected or mixed 
 color birch is the run of the lumber from the log containing 
 both the white and red. The sapwood takes stains as readily 
 as the heartwood—in this respect differing markedly from 
 other important finishing woods. 
 
 It is not necessary to specify “selected” birch to obtain 
 very satisfactory results in mahogany, walnut, or similar 
 stains. The mixed colors in the unselected birch blend per- 
 fectly after the stain is applied, producing a uniform even 
 color effect as required. 
 
 Tnselected birch can be obtained for considerably less in 
 price than strictly selected red or white, as the quantity of 
 red or white birch obtained from the log is comparatively 
 small. However, in rotary cut birch veneers, it is possible 
 to obtain a larger proportion of red or white veneer than 
 in sawn lumber. 
 
 A beautiful variation, especially in veneers, called Curly 
 Birch comes from selected logs, either in red or white or 
 unselected. It commands a premium and “unselected” should 
 
 usualiy be used. 
 
 Birch being an extremely close grained wood produces 
 rotary cut veneer not subject to checking. It is not neces- 
 sary to specify sawn veneers on doors or other cabinet work 
 to assure against the objectionable checks which later de- 
 velop in many other cabinet woods or so-called cabinet woods. 
 
 Birch reaches its best development as a tree in the hard- 
 wood forests of Wisconsin and Michigan. Conditions there 
 produce a very hard, smooth grained wood. Specify “Grown 
 in Wisconsin or Michigan.’ The great bulk of birch lumber 
 originates in these two states. 
 
 Hardness: 
 
 Birch is one of the hardest of the hardwoods. Under tests in 
 the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, 
 it required a pressure of 1320 pounds to embed an 0.444 inch 
 steel ball one-fifth of an inch into the side grain of air- 
 dried birch. This test is most important, as the forces of 
 wear and indentation ordinarily come against the side grain 
 of a wood used for interior trim, doors and furniture. The 
 hardest of hardwoods is most economical in the long run, 
 both in public buildings and private homes, because the fine 
 finished appearance of the surface can be retained only by 
 this quality of extreme hardness. Birch has it as shown 
 above in high degree. 
 
 Strength: 
 
 In all these tests for strength at the U. S. Forest Products 
 Laboratory—static. bending, impact bending, compression 
 parallel to grain and tension perpendicular to grain—birch 
 ranks first among commercial hardwoods. In the tests for 
 compression perpendicular to grain and shearing strength 
 parallel to grain, birch compares favorably with other 
 quality hardwoods. 
 
 Beauty: 
 
 Vith the qualities of hardness and strength, birch com. 
 bines that of beauty. It has a very handsome figured grain, 
 is capable of taking a high finish and retaining it. Birch 
 looks equally well, whether plain, or quarter sawed. Rotary 
 eut birch veneer usually serves all purposes which demand 
 highly figured wood in broad surfaces, such as panels, etc.

 TRADE MARK 
 
 Birch has won recognition in trim as being 
 a fine hardwood, of very handsome figured 
 grain, and capable of high finish. It is in use 
 not only in a multitude of residences and 
 apartments, but also in very many hotels, 
 office buildings, etc., of the highest class, for 
 both trim and doors. 
 
 Birch Rotary Cut Veneers: 
 
 Birch rotary cut veneer is. especially 
 : adaptable to deors and panel work of all 
 kinds and is widely used in wainscoting and for fixtures, 
 store window backing, ete. It is not subject to checking 
 because of the extremely close grain of the wood and in 
 this respect is superior to most other cabinet woods from 
 Which only sawn veneers can be safely utilized. ‘ 
 
 Doors: 
 
 _: Birch veneered doors are usually specified with a standard 
 ¥3-inch veneer on the frame of the door applied to a softwood 
 core. Panels can be 3 or 5-ply in thickness. Names of 
 manufacturers specializing in birch doors sent on request. 
 
 Birch Flooring: 
 
 Birch flooring is comparable in service valu i 
 flooring, having nearly the same physical neonerrene te 
 cluding hardness. It comes either in red or unselected. 
 Selected red birch floors are very desirable in most schemes 
 of interior decoration, especially with trim of birch or ma- 
 te apes are piaee and specifications, see listing in 
 
 ogue under ial é é 
 ee etines Panes ee Maple Flooring Manufacturers 
 
 Finishing: 
 
 : Birch lends itself perfectly to the production of any effect 
 in finish which can be applied to a first class hardwood. To 
 several beautiful finishes it is better adapted than any other 
 wood—notably to gray and brown acid staining. It is also 
 frequently and successfully used in place of red or brown 
 stained mahogany. Birch in a natural finish is also much 
 admired. 
 
 Because of the small size of the pores, a filler is usually 
 not employed. If a dark filler is used, the pores can be made 
 conspicuous, giving the wood additional figure. Rubbed, or 
 rubbed and polished finishes, give fine results with birch. 
 The user of birch should always remember that he is hand- 
 ling a high class hardwood, whose peculiar richness of tone 
 and figure is worthy of painstaking treatment. It is of just 
 the right density and texture to form a superior base for 
 white enamel, for which unselected grade is recommended. 
 
 Information: 
 
 A handsome book on Birch and Its Uses, and any specific 
 information or assistance required will be gladly supplied 
 on application. 
 
 The new 60-page “Where and Why” book is a reference 
 work for every builder. Though primarily devoted to hard 
 maple, it contains comparative statistics and tables of of- 
 ficial strength and other tests of birch, maple and other 
 hardwoods. Concise and authentic. Sent promptly on request. 
 
 Co-operation: 
 
 The Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers’ 
 Association and The Rotary Birch Club will be glad to put 
 inquirers in touch with our members, and with manufacturers 
 of birch doors, trim, veneer, etc. 
 
 As hard maple, soft maple, birch, beech, hard and soft elm, 
 basswood, ash, white cedar, white pine, Norway pine, balsam 
 hemlock and tamarack all grow in the great Novia 
 forests of Wisconsin and Michigan, manvufacturers of 
 “Beautiful Birch” also produce many or all of these woods.

 To overcome this, and to insure the trade 
 and home builder with an absolutely re- 
 liable Red Cedar Shingle of the finest qual- 
 ity, the Rite-Grade Shingle Association has 
 established a rigid 
 set of grading rules 
 and as the shingles

 they are _ graded 
 carefully according 
 to these rules, and 
 the grade and cov-

 The Rite-Grade Inspector 
 
 Most Careful Inspection 
 
 Association inspectors visit every Rite-Grade mill 
 and check this grading accurately so that there can 
 be no carelessness or ‘‘let down’’ in the uniformity of 
 the grade. 
 
 The result is that in Rite-Grade Inspected shingles 
 you get, grade for grade, the very finest Red Cedar 
 Shingles it is possible to produce, manufactured with 
 special care by well equipped modern mills and you 
 know exactly the kind of shingles you are getting in 
 each grade. 
 
 Choose Right Shingle for Right Place 
 
 Of course, if you want a roof to last the longest 
 possible time you must select the highest grade of 
 shingles. For some other purposes, such as side 
 walls and less particular uses where it is desired to 
 hold down the first cost, a lower grade of shingles can 
 be used. 
 
 The important thing about the Rite-Grade stamp is 
 that it insures your getting exactly what you buy. 
 
 Be sure that the Rite-Grade mark is on every 
 bundle of shingles you order. It is your guarantee of 
 quality. 
 
 This mark is the property of the Rite-Grade Shingle 
 Association and can be used only by members whose 
 products comply strictly with the Association rules. 
 It is used in addition to the manufacturer’s individ- 
 ual brand, which is his mark of identification. 
 
 The mark of Rite-Grade inspection is your protec- 
 tion. It absolutely assures you of satisfaction in the 
 selection and purchase of Red Cedar Shingles.

 ““Tidewater’’ Cypress 
 
 Trade-mark Guarantee— AS a guarantee of quality, ac- 
 curate grading and responsible methods of manufacture, 
 builders should specify ‘‘Tidewater” Cypress, the true ‘““Wood 
 Eternal,” identified by the Arrow trade-mark above. 
 
 Where It Grows—The species of Cypress commercially 
 known as “Tidewater” Cypress, also Red Cypress, is the 
 most valuable. It is distinctly a swamp tree and grows 
 along the coasts, and in the lowlands within 200 miles from 
 the seaboard, of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, 
 from Virginia to Texas. “Inland” or “‘Upland’’ Cypress does 
 not possess the characteristic qualities of “Tidewater” Cy- 
 press in any desirable degree. 
 
 Durability—“Tidewater” Cypress possessing a natural 
 preservative, is one of the most durable of American woods. 
 This statement applies specifically to the heart wood. ‘‘All- 
 heart” grades should be specified where high resistance to 
 decay-producing agencies is required—such as contact with 
 the soil and when used in moist or humid conditions. It 
 also “weathers well.” 
 
 Color—The color of “Tidewater” Cypress varies from 
 slightly reddish to a deeper red and from this, all the way 
 to almost black, giving rise to such names as Red and 
 Black Cypress. The color of the sapwood is usually much 
 lighter than the heartwood. Much ‘Tidewater’ Cypress is 
 vari-colored—frequently marked by various color zones from 
 slightly red to almost black. The safest specification is 
 “Tidewater” Cypress, identified by the Arrow trade-mark. 
 
 Strength—In strength, like in weight, “Tidewater” Cy- 
 press is intermediate between heavy and light pines, indi- 
 cating a good average strength. 
 
 Other Physical Properties—From the builder’s standpoint, 
 other characteristics of “Tidewater” Cypress worthy of men- 
 tion are, ease of working, freedom from splitting, checking 
 and warping when properly dried, and good nail-holding 
 power. “Tidewater” Cypress, other than “Pecky,”’ has very 
 few defects except knots and occasional wormholes, and can 
 be counted upon to have a very high percentage of flawless 
 boards or timbers. 
 
 “Pecky” Cypress—It is the term applied to boards or 
 timbers having the peculiar disease common to the heart- 
 wood of many Cypress trees. On the cross section, the board 
 appears to be full of holes and on the surface, looks as 
 if it had been gouged. This is a defect only in the sense of 
 appearance and strength and its durability is practically 
 as great as that of sound wood. The Pecky disease in no 
 way detracts from the usefulness of “Tidewater’’ Cypress 
 where exposure and not strength is the prime requirement, 
 as in foundations and sills. At the present time, “Pecky” 
 Cypress is in great demand for interior trim because of its 
 antique appearance and the picturesque effects to be secured 
 from such use. 
 
 Varied Utility—'*Tidewater” Cypress having been used for 
 many years, evidence of its fitness for humerous purposes 
 is overwhelmingly large. A few of the more general uses 
 are given in following paragraphs: 
 
 Interior Uses—For interior finish, its ease of working, 
 straightness of grain, non-resinous nature and the fine, 
 wide, clear sizes obtainable, make the higher grades of 
 “Tidewater” Cypress one of the best woods for mouldings, 
 doors, sills, panels, sash, casings, ete. As it shrinks or 
 swells imperceptibly when properly dried, “Tidewater” 
 Cypress is especially desirable for doors where its fine- 
 figured grain contributes to beautiful and artistic effects. 
 The “Clear Heart” grade is recommended for best quality 
 stain or natural finish and the “A” grade for ordinary stain 
 finish or best enameled work. 
 
 “Tidewater” Cypress used for the siding, porches, 
 
 shutters, cornices and all exterior trim for this dis- 
 
 tinctive suburban home. Designed by Messrs. Granger 
 and Bollenbacher, Chicago. 
 
 Exterior Work—On account of its great durability and 
 weather resisting qualities, Cypress excells for all exterior 
 work and for uses in contact with soil, such as foundation 
 timbers, sills, girders, siding, doors, jambs, facings, window 
 shutters, cornices and for porch construction—flooring, 
 columns, railings, steps and foundation supports. 
 
 For painting, the “B” grade of Cypress is suitable for the 
 usual run of exterior millwork and finish, and the “A” or 
 “Clear Heart’ grade for best quality work. 
 
 Shingles—‘“‘Tidewater” Cypress is especially adapted to 
 shingles. They have extraordinary durability and possess 
 the added virtues of having more wood in them and of 
 weighing more than any other shingle now on the market. 
 They are sold-as dimension shingles, as well as in random 
 widths, and always full count, 4000 lineal inches to con- 
 stitute 1000 shingles. 
 
 Lath—In addition to the characteristic qualities of non- 
 shrinking and non-warping when properly dried, and ease 
 of working with good nail holding power, “Tidewater” 
 Cypress lath has the further advantage of not showing 
 through plaster, a particularly valuable quality where light 
 tints are to be employed.

‘Tidewater’ Cypress, “‘the Wood Eternal’ (continued) 
 
 Farm Uses—Because of its wearing and lasting qualities, 
 “Tidewater” Cypress is the most economical lumber to be 
 used, figured over the years, for fencings, posts, water 
 troughs, well curbing, silos, incubators, barns, hog houses, 
 poultry houses and sheds. 
 
 Imparting no odor, taste or color, and being almost non- 
 porous, it is unexcelled for water tanks and for use in 
 dairies. 
 
 Greenhouse Construction—In greenhouses, ‘Tidewater” 
 Cypress is an invaluable wood because of its resistance to 
 decay. The entire woodwork of some of the best green- 
 houses—ridge poles, supports, sash, siding, benches (the 
 latter of ‘“Pecky’’)—is of “Tidewater” Cypress. It is equally 
 adapted for all forms of cold frames and is much used for 
 flats and flower boxes. 
 
 Miscellaneous Uses—‘“‘Tidewater’ Cypress has also come 
 much into use as a Seating material for public and university 
 stadiums, and for the construction of grandstands and 
 bleachers for baseball parks and fair grounds and the like. 
 
 “Pecky” Cypress is suitable where rustic effects are desired, 
 such as seating for parks; pergolas, ete. It is also adapt- 
 able for culverts, underground work or work in damp places, 
 planking for small bridges, barn floors and foundation 
 timbers. 
 
 Fine Pergola Entrance to Estate of J. Wade Tucker, 
 
 Esq., Kissimmee, Florida. Constructed entirely of 
 
 “Tidewater” Cypress as is the adjoining fencing and 
 the magnificent home in the background. 
 
 Painting—Ior both exterior and interior work, ‘“Tide- 
 water” Cypress can be painted without special preparation 
 and with complete satisfaction. 
 
 Natural Finish—But as the charm of modern construction 
 is in the use of the natural wood, “Tidewater” Cypress, on 
 account of the beauty of its grain and variety of its rich 
 shadings, should be varnished and finished in the natural. 
 
 Staining—‘Tidewater’ Cypress can also be stained with 
 great success. In imitation of mahogany—becoming even 
 more beautiful than mahogany itself—or cherry, black 
 walnut, the different oaks; or tinted any desired shade the 
 most fastidious fancy may suggest. 
 
 Tupelo 
 
 Origin and Characteristics—Tupelo grows in proximity 
 to and is often interspersed with Cypress. 
 
 Untreated Tupelo, however, does not have the same decay 
 resisting qualities of “Tidewater” Cypress when exposed to 
 moisture and the elements, but is well suited for interior 
 uses. Tupelo has a closely interwoven, or involved grain, 
 is uniformly white in color, does not sliver or splinter and 
 is peculiarly adapted to uses where resistance to hard wear 
 is the prime requirement. It is practically free from de- 
 fects of any character. 
 
 Industrial Floors—Tupelo, because of its closely involved 
 grain, which does not splinter or sliver, is much used for 
 interior floors of industrial plants, warehouses, freight 
 houses, for covered platforms, ete. Heavy trucking and 
 traific only tends to pack its fiber and to make it more solid 
 and smoother as time goes on. It should not be used for 
 exterior platforms and the like without being treated with 
 a preservative. 
 
 Residential Floors—The same characteristics which recom- 
 mend Tupelo for industrial flooring, plus its clear white 
 uniform color, make it a very desirable flooring material 
 for residences. Perfected methods of manufacture and kiln 
 drying have made Tupelo a superior product. For appear- 
 ance and cost it is probably the best flooring for the mod- 
 erate priced home on the market today. 
 
 Mouldings and Trim—Tupelo is extensively manufactured 
 into mouldings and other interior trim. Its uniform white 
 eolor, close grain, freedom from defects and tendency to 
 splitting, and ability to hold nails tenaciously, make it a 
 desirable wood for this purpose. 
 
 Tupelo does not raise its grain in the process of finishing 
 and, therefore, provides an exceptionally smooth surface 
 that takes and holds enamels nicely and can be stained ef- 
 fectively. It is especially adapted where a highly glossed 
 finish is desired. And, its very moderate cost likewise 
 recommends it where price must be taken into consideration. 
 
 Literature and Information 
 
 To meet the constantly growing demand from architects 
 and builders for detailed information, we have compiled a 
 concise, authoritative, technical treatise on ‘Tidewater’ 
 Cypress, covering its qualities, grades, uses and relation of 
 grades to uses, painting and finishing, together with sug- 
 gested specifications for standard uses. Architects and 
 builders, who have not received a copy of this data for their 
 files, are invited to write for it. 
 
 Our booklet on Tupelo—its characteristics and uses, also 
 merits a place in your files for reference. 
 
 Architects and builders are invited to write freely as to 
 any special requirements, references to highly satisfied users 
 for specific purposes, or for any other assistance that we 
 can give on special problems.

 ment of Agriculture, Forest Service Bulletin 
 No. 95. 
 
 EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR FINISH 
 
 “Cypress is put to almost every use as an 
 interior trim for houses. It may be finished 
 in natural color or stained. The wood con- 
 tains little resin and thus affords a_ good 
 surface for paint, which it holds well. It 
 is much used for door frames, window 
 frames, transoms, ceiling, wainscoting, 
 panels, doors, sash, balusters, inside blinds, 
 
 brackets, newel posts, grilles, mantels, and | either 
 to some extent for flooring. It is a popular 4 
 wood for kitchens, where it is subjected dresse ° 
 
 to dampness and heat. It shrinks, swells, or 
 warps but little, and is used for drainboards, 
 sinks, kitchen and pantry tables, cupboards, 
 and kitchen cabinets. For the same reason 
 it is used for breadboards asd wooden imple- 
 ments about the pantry, ironing boards and clothes driers. 
 
 “For the parts of houses exposed to the weather it serves 
 equally well. As siding it practically wears out before it 
 decays. When made into porch and portico columns it 
 retains its shape, holds paint, and has sufficient strength 
 to sustain necessary loads. It is placed as cornice, gutter, 
 
 outside blinds, pilasters, and railing, and is much used for 
 porch floors and steps.

 FARM LUMBER 
 
 ‘Much cypress lumber is employed in the 
 construction of silos for strong green feed. 
 The farmer puts the wood to many uses, in 
 all of which it gives good service. Its last- 
 ing properties fit it well for curbs, when 
 material is needed that resists decay. Water- 
 ing troughs for farm stock and feed troughs 
 for sheds and barns are made of it; likewise 
 troughs or flumes for conveying water from 
 wells or springs. Resistance to decay fits 
 it for stable floors and timbers near the 
 ground, as well as for fences, gates, and 
 especially for fence posts and telephone 
 poles. It is one of the best available woods 
 for picket fences, because it shows paint 
 well and holds it for many years, but lasts 
 a long time without it. It has been widely 
 used for this purpose not only in the South, 
 where cypress grows, but in regions remote 
 from its range. 
 
 USE IN GREENHOUSES 
 
 “One of the widest uses of cypress is in greenhouse con- 
 struction. It is pre-eminently fitted for that trying place, 
 where it is called upon to resist dampness, excessive heat, 
 and all the elements that hasten decay. It is said that no 
 other lumber approaches cypress in the quantity used for 
 green and hot houses. It is manufactured into sash, frames, 
 benches, boxes, and practically ali else that the builder 
 needs. It has replaced white pine to a large degree, 
 because it is cheaper and in some ways better.” 
 
 CORNELL UNIVERSITY STADIUM, ITHACA, NEW YORK—SEATS OF TIDEWATER CYPRESS 
 
 The resistance of Cypress to decay, particularly when exposed to dampness, has led to its being used for seats in the Stadium pictured 
 above and in Stadiums at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia; University of Illinois, Champaign, Illinois; and U. S. Military 
 Academy, West Point, New York.

 Northern Hemlock Grade-Marks— 
 
 What They Mean 
 The initials N and H of the design signify that the lumber, 
 to which the mark is applied (on the face of each piece near 
 the end), is Northern Hemlock—your native building lumber. 
 The numeral within the diamond indicates the grade of the 
 piece on which it is stamped by the expert grader at the mill.

 Northern Hemiock Grades are based upon the broad eco- 
 nomic ground of their relative usefulness to vou. The Grade- 
 mark takes all the guesswork out of the selection of Hemlock 
 grades for their proper uses. 
 Save money! Use the grade that fits’ the job. Buy by the 
 orade-mark. pees 
 Ask your lumber dealer. 
 
 Physical Properties eh 
 Wood is light, of good average strength for its weight, 
 
 nail holding power. Grade for grade, Northern Hemlock has 
 fewer large, strength reducing knots than other structural 
 woods. It is non-resinous and so takes and holds both paints 
 and stains perfectly and without discoloration. Freedom of 
 resin likewise makes it slow-burning. Immunity to dry-rot is 
 an important factor in the service life of buildings. In color, 
 the heartwood is light brown tinged with red, often nearly 
 white, and the sapwood of darker color. 
 
 Principal Structural Uses 
 
 While the best grades of Northern Hemlock are manufac- 
 tured into drop siding, ship lap and other items of exterior 
 trim, its principal employment in residential construction is

 Pondosa Pine 
 
 The finest lumber for 
 all-around use. It is 
 light, yet strong. It is easily worked. Takes 
 nails without splitting. Pondosa Beveled 
 Siding, with its very thin edge, illustrates 
 just how unusual it is in this respect. Pon- 
 dosa is beautiful lumber, yet most economi- 
 cal. Every trade-marked stick is rigidly 
 graded, thoroughly seasoned and carefully 
 milled. The fine grain and smooth surface 
 are notable. Pondosa Pine takes a beautiful 
 natural finish where desired. Paint pene- 
 trates its absorbent texture deeply and 
 evenly, so that repainting is seldom neces- 
 sary. 
 
 Source 
 
 Pondosa Pine, often called the ‘Sovereign 
 of Softwoods,”’ comes from the Inland Em- 
 pire of the Great Northwest. In area the 
 Inland Empire equals all New England, the 
 Middle Atlantic States and Virginia—almost 
 as much territory as the United States com- 
 prised at the end of the Revolutionary War.

 tion comprises fifty 
 great modern mills. Its 
 closely supervised lum- 
 ber grades have been 
 standard in the territory 
 for fifteen years. A uni- 
 formity of quality and service is always 
 noted in Pondosa Pine, no matter which mill 
 has produced the lumber. The Pondosa 
 Pine country is served by five transconti- 
 nental railroads—the Great Northern, 
 Northern Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee and 
 St. Paul, Canadian Pacific and the Union 
 Pacific, providing ready, economical outlets 
 for Pondosa Pine. 
 
 Grade Classification 
 
 Pondosa Pine, like all other woods, has 
 its upper and lower grades. Some pieces 
 are entirely clear and free from blemishes. 
 Others contain knots and similar defects in- 
 herent in the tree itself. Classified accord- 
 ing to use, it is divided into Yard Lumber, 
 the kind used for general building purposes— 
 Structural Timbers—and Factory or Shop 
 Lumber, which lumbermen call a “cutting 
 type” and which is used for sash, doors, ete. 
 One of the chief aims of the Western Pine 
 Manufacturers Association is to avert 
 economic waste by effecting the use of the 
 right grade of lumber in the right place. 
 
 Use 
 
 Doors, windows, frames, stairs, sash, 
 moulding, interior and exterior trim, porch 
 work, sheathing, siding, indeed any place 
 where the specifications call for good, de- 
 pendable lumber which is light, yet strong, 
 is the place for Pondosa Pine. It is for sale 
 at all good lumber yards.

 Distinctive Characteristics of Redwood 
 Redwood has many distinctive characteristics which highly 
 recommend it for building purposes and particularly exteriors. 
 
 Texture 
 Redwood is light and soft, yet firm. Dry weight of wood 
 surfaced is only 24 pounds per cubic foot. Has a close, even 
 i Oe grain and is unusually 
 free from knots and 
 other defects. It works 
 easily and holds nails 
 well. 
 
 Resists Decay 
 On account of a nat- 
 wral, odorless preservative 
 which permeates the tree 
 ; zis during growth, Redwood 
 Residence at Plainfield, N. J. is highly resistant to all 
 Redwood siding painted white forms of rot and decay. 
 A Redwood log buried in the ground for 600 years was found 
 to be perfectly sound and was cut into first class lumber. It 
 is unnecessary to treat Redwood with artificial preservatives. 
 
 Fire-Resisting 
 
 Owing to the absence of pitch and other resinous substances, 
 Redwood is slow to ignite and offers unusual resistance to fire. 
 There was conclusive proof of this in many instances during 
 the great San Francisco fire in 1906 and in the fact that forest 
 fires sweeping through the underbrush leave Redwood trees 
 unharmed. 
 
 Non-Conductivity 
 On account of its peculiar cellular strueture—layer upon 
 
 and is one of the best nat- 
 ural insulators known. (See 
 illustration at bottom of 
 column.) 
 
 Color 
 
 The heart wood ranges 
 from a light cherry color 
 to mahogany—generally an 
 old rose shade. The small 
 
 Residence at Des Moines, Ia. amount of sap wood is a 
 Redwood Colonial siding painted white cream color. 
 Will Not Warp, Swell or Shrink 
 
 Properly seasoned, Redwood will not warp, swell or shrink, 
 making if extremely valuable for many particular and exact- 
 ing uses. 
 
 Excellent Painting Surface 
 
 It is not necessary to paint or stain Redwood to make it 
 durable, but where the preference is for a painted or stained 
 effect it will be found that Redwood will readily take any 
 finish that any other wood will take, and some finishes that 
 no other wood will take. The fine grain, smooth surface, 
 absence of resin or pitch, and the walls of the minute air cells 
 forming tiny anchorages, allow paint or varnish to penetrate 
 thoroughly and to hold. The freedom of Redwood from swell- 
 ing or shrinking tends to insure against unsightly cracks in 
 enamel work.

 Interior: On account of its natural beauty, absence of pitch, 
 and high proportion of clear lumber, Redwood is adapted for 
 many kinds of interior work. 
 
 Clear Redwood, having an unusually even grain and being 
 free from knots, can be used to create beautiful effects with- 
 out the necessity of selecting special pieces. Redwood can be 
 obtained in extra-wide, clear boards, making it unnecessary to 
 use veneered or built-up panels. It takes stains and other fin- 
 ishes readily and may be waxed, or left in its natural finish. 
 High class enamel jobs, with hand rubbed finish, have lasted 
 
 as long as twenty years without repainting. 
 
 Redwood Not High Priced 
 
 The price of Redwood compares very favorably with that of 
 other woods used for similar purposes, for most of which uses 
 Redwood’s unusual adaptability and long life makes it really 
 more economical. Being lighter than other woods, the item of 
 freight is consequently reduced. 
 
 Trademark 
 
 Wherever practical our trademark is placed directly upon the 
 product. In cases where shipping tags are used the trademark 
 appears upon the tag. All Redwood siding is plainly marked 
 with the trademark, surface measure, grade and size. Door 
 and window frames are stamped with trademark. Moulding 
 bundles are tagged with trademark, total number of pieces, 
 lineal measurements and pattern. Shingles in bundles are 
 marked with trademark and grade. 
 
 Information and Service 
 All of our offices will be glad to consult with any builder 
 
 concerning his needs and advise as to the suitability of Redwood 
 and its economical use. Inquiries will receive prompt attention.

MAPLE, BEECH and BIRCH FLOORINGS 
 
 MAPLE FLOORING MANUFACTURERS ASSN. 
 
 1067 Stock Exchange Building 
 Chicago, Il. 
 
 Characteristics 
 
 Although Maple, Beech and Birch repre- 
 sent a versatile range as far as color possi- 
 bilities and uses are concerned, the three 
 woods are closely related in general charac- 
 teristics. 
 
 Long Wear. All these woods are close- 
 grained, hard-fibred, free from slivers and 
 splinters. Friction merely polishes them, 
 even increasing their wearing qualities. 
 Test after test shows that Beech and Birch 
 wear like Maple—and Maple outwears 
 stone. 
 
 Cieanliness. Maple, Beech and Birch are 
 exceptionally clean and sanitary, since the 
 closeness of their grain and smoothness of 
 their surface afford no lodging space for 
 dirt or germs. They can be wiped smooth 
 and clean easily and quickly with a cloth 
 or an oil mop. 
 
 Natural Beauty. Due to their leadership 
 in wearing qualities, these woods have some- 
 times been stressed for service uses, to the 
 exclusion of any consideration of their 
 beauty. Yet their rich beauty has been an 
 important factor in making them the choice 
 for fine homes, apartments, hotels and 
 clubs everywhere. 
 
 Color Possibilities 
 
 Maple shows an attractive golden hue 
 when waxed or varnished—it is literally a 
 ‘‘floor of captive sunlight’’ which mellows 
 and ripens with passing years. The rare 
 beauty of Maple Flooring is apparent to 
 everyone in ballrooms, where Maple is al- 
 most universally chosen for its beauty as 
 well as for its cushioning comfort beneath 
 eliding feet. 
 
 While Maple does not lend itself to stain- 
 ing, Beech and Birch, supplying qualities

 180 
 
 of endurance closest to those of Maple, will 
 take a variety of stains which open oppor- 
 tunities for rich and distinctive color har- 
 monies in flooring. 
 
 Staining Beech and Birch 
 
 It is important, in choosing a flooring 
 wood for staining, to avoid any wood which 
 has such a fibrous structure that prevents 
 the even penetration of the stain. The 
 grain pattern of both Beech and Birch is a 
 delicate tracery, without fibrous ridges. 
 Stains penetrate Beech and Birch evenly. 
 Either wood makes an attractive floor and 
 possesses a wearing quality which will make 
 the attractiveness last. 
 
 The preference for dark floors in many 
 residential buildings has therefore brought 
 a rapidly growing use of Beech and Birch. 
 Their hardness—plus their susceptibility to 
 staining—sets them in a class by them- 
 selves for these particular purposes. 
 
 Individual Features 
 
 Maple. This flooring is dense, strong, 
 heavy, very hard, and is supremely durable. 
 The color of the heartwood is brownish 
 and the sapwood is much lighter. The 
 erain is close—sometimes curly or birdseye. 
 
 Maple has unusual ability to resist 
 pointed pressure without abrasion. It 
 takes a high polish but is too tight-grained 
 for extensive staining. 
 
 Beech. This wood shows slightly more 
 grain pattern than Maple and has slightly 
 more color when varnished or waxed. In 
 physical properties it is so like Maple that 
 it is frequently used in Maple’s stead. 
 Beech takes a beautiful stain. 
 
 Birch. The ability of Birch to take 
 color stain is well known. The fact that is 
 ordinarily not known about both Beech and

MAPLE, BEECH AND BIRCH FLOORINGS— (Continued) 
 
 Birch is that the natural wood takes a ecol- 
 orful finish and makes a beautiful and serv- 
 iceable floor. 
 
 Faces for Various Uses 
 
 Maple, Beech and Birch are made in a 
 variety of faces (widths) to fit each type of 
 use. Those most commonly used in homes 
 and apartments are the 2” and 214” faces. 
 
 There is a growing tendency among home- 
 builders, however, to use the wider (314”) 
 or narrower (114”) face, where certain 
 special effects are desired. 
 
 For Colomal Homes-—a wider face. The 
 use of 314,” face flooring is particularly de- 
 sirable in the Colonial home since this face 
 reproduces accurately the wide flooring of 
 the quaint old dwellings of a century past. 
 344” face floorings, moreover, can be laid 
 more rapidly and with less labor than the 
 narrower faces. 
 
 For Dainty Effects—a narrower face. 
 For rooms where an effect of daintiness is 
 desired, 144” face is gaining wide favor. 
 The narrowness of this face brings the sort 
 of individual beauty so often found in ob- 
 jects finely made. 
 
 A New Floor over an Old. The most gen- 
 erally used thickness for Maple, Beech or 
 Birch floorings in dwellings is 25/32”. 
 However, there is a special ‘‘thin’’ flooring 
 which ean be laid right over an old floor, 
 bringing new beauty as well as added value 
 to the home. 
 
 This is a 34” thickness. Such a floor can 
 be laid without disturbing doors or wood- 
 work. It is matched on sides and ends and

 The Charm of Oak Floors 
 
 There is nothing more attractive in a home than a 
 earefully laid and properly finished floor of Oak. 
 The lustrous finish reflects the forms of furniture, and 
 serves as a decorative background for rugs and hang- 
 ings. Oak is the floor without a peer, the floor that 
 needs no apology, but is universally accepted as the 
 highest possible type of flooring. 
 
 Oak Flooring has many outstanding advantages, 
 not the least of which is the fact that the cost of Oak 
 Flooring is within the reach of everyone who wants 
 a floor of permanence, a floor of lasting beauty and 
 
 distinction. Oak floors do not deteriorate with age,

 Durability 
 
 Oak Floor-

 problem for - 
 ever. An Oak 
 floor will out- 
 
 te’ x 214” Face 
 
 last the house itself and remain always the beautiful 
 foundation of the room, its beauty lasting through 
 the years to become a treasured heirloom from genera- 
 tion to generation. 
 
 Flooring strips are made to fit accurately, with 
 tongue and groove manufactured according to stand- 
 ard measurements, making a tight continuous floor 
 of unbroken surface. Strips are end-matched provid- 
 ing additional firmness in the floor. 
 
 Cleanliness 
 
 Oak floors are clean and sanitary and require very 
 little effort to keep them in that condition—just a 
 little freshening up at frequent intervals. There are 
 no erevices to accumulate dirt or dust. 
 
 Economy 
 
 The first cost of an oak floor is practically the 
 last. By selecting different grades for bedrooms and 
 hallways than for principal rooms, the cost may be 
 kept down to a very reasonable figure. With a little 
 thought, combinations can be worked out that will 
 keep the total flooring cost within a set limit of 
 expenditure and avoid the substitution of flooring 
 that lacks the beauty, durability and other advantages 
 of oak flooring. The lower grades of oak flooring, 
 so called, are just as durable as the higher grades. 
 
 For Remodeling Jobs 
 
 Lay Oak flooring over old worn ordinary floors. 
 No woodwork need be torn up; the old floor be- 
 comes a useful sub- 
 floor. The cost for 
 each room will be 
 considerably less than 
 that of many articles 
 of furniture, and the 
 result will be a per- 
 manent beautiful floor 
 that will never need 
 replacement. 
 
 Adding a Room 
 
 Turn the attic into a clean, attractive place for 
 children to play, where they can romp to their 
 heart’s content, by laying Oak flooring over the rough 
 boards. 
 
 Increased Value 
 
 An Oak floored home is always worth more, whether 
 for rental or sale, as oak flooring is recognized as 
 a standard appointment in a modern home.

 Within Reach of Every Purse 
 
 For both the modest cottage and more pre- 
 tentious home, there is a grade of Bruce oak 
 flooring that will come within the cost esti- 
 mated. The quality will be the highest, regard- 
 less of grade, as there is but one standard. 
 Bruce oak flooring combines the natural beauty 
 and durability of oak with accuracy of manufacture, 
 and affords the 
 careful builder 
 with a room 
 foundation that 
 lays easily, fits 
 snugly, and lasts 
 indefinitely.

 white, plain and 
 quarter-sawn, the 
 entire house may 
 be floored attractively, at moderate cost. Further individ- 
 uality is gained by laying Design Patterns in one or more 
 principal rooms. Well-planned quantity production brings 
 these distinctive designs within a figure only slightly greater 
 than strip flooring. Pleasing variation may be obtained by 
 combining design borders with strip centers. Write our

 sub-floor. No woodwork need be disturbed, except the 
 quarter-round at the baseboard. 
 
 Quality Guaranteed 
 
 Bruce oak flooring is 
 made from most carefully 
 seasoned lumber, in mills 
 built expressly for its 
 manufacture,equipped

CROMAR Ready Finished OAK FLOORING 
 
 Laid and Used the Same Day 
 
 Manufactured only by The CROOKS-DITTMAR COMPANY, Williamsport, Pennsylvania 
 
 Product 
 
 CROMAR, an oak flooring milled 
 from the finest oak grown, completely 
 scraped, sanded, filled, varnished and = 
 waxed at the CROMAR Plant, by : 
 patented machines. |__g 
 
 Saves Time and Labor 
 
 Because CROMAR is completely 
 finished at the factory, like furniture, 
 all there is left to do is to nail it down. 
 This results in great saving of time 
 and labor, and enables the contractor 
 and builder to handle the floor-laying 
 job himself instead of subletting it. 
 He can therefore bid lower, make a 
 quicker sale or rental with quicker 
 money return, and still give the home- 
 owner the best oak flooring he can 
 buy, and at no more than the price of 
 a good rug. 
 
 Laid and Used the Same Day 
 CROMAR is also ideally suited for 
 
 re-laying jobs. Because of the speed 
 
 Finished at the Factory by Patented Machines 
 
 Finishing CROMAR completely at the factory (be- 
 fore shipping instead of after laying) means cutting the 
 usual 7 operations down to only 1 operation:—

 2.—Scraping ag | _ 
 3.—Sanding = 
 4,—Filling 
 
 5.—First Coat 
 6.—F ine Sand- 
 
 ing | 
 7.—Finishing All other operations are done by patented 
 Coat machines at the CROMAR Plant 
 
 The Cleanable Groove Appeals to the 
 Experienced Housekeeper 
 
 The shallow, rounded groove of CROMAR is so important a 
 feature that it has been patented. It eliminates a fault very common. 
 to ordinary hardwood floors. Shrinkage of the boards or settling of 
 the house opens up square cracks between the strips. Square cracks 
 pack with dirt, making unsightly dark streaks that cannot be re- 
 moved. Not so with CROMAR. There is the neatly rounded 
 groove, only 1 /40th of an inch deep, from which the dust is easily 
 
 Sr eeeninncee ore _ brushed with a 
 cloth or dry mop. 
 The contractor will 
 find this sanitary 
 feature, this con- 
 venience in clean- 
 ing, one of the 
 strongest reasons 
 why CROMAR ap- 
 peals to the woman

 with which CROMAR can be laid 
 right over the floors of an old home, 
 contractors can handle a _ greater 
 number of jobs with the same number 
 of men. Such inside contracts turn a 
 dull winter into a profitable one. And 
 home-owners naturally appreciate the 
 fact that two carpenters can lay 
 CROMAR at the rate of a room a day 
 —climinating all the dreaded con- 
 fusion and dirt of a week or two, in- 
 volved in the use of unfinished flooring. 
 
 Colors 
 
 CROMAR is furnished in either 
 light or dark finish. See illustration 
 and description on the opposite page.

 CROMAR is sold through Retail 
 Lumber Dealers. Write for free

 CROMAR Machines Produce 
 Mere Beautiful Lustre 
 
 Machine finishing produces a more uniformly lustrous surface 
 which is comparable only to that of fine furniture. There are no 
 scraper marks or uneven brush strokes on a CROMAR Floor. Ma- 
 chines work more evenly than the best skilled hand. 
 
 CROMAR Will Stand the Hardest Wear 
 
 CROMAR’S matchless finish is hard! No handwork can dupli- 
 cate the power of patented machines as they apply filler, varnish 
 and wax at the CROMAR Plant. Not only is every pore of the 
 wood filled, but the filler is driven deep into the oak. Thus 
 the oil from the varnish is not absorbed. The, varnish retains its 
 elasticity and does not flake or scratch white. This is one of the 
 ways in which CROMAR saves a contractor much trouble from 
 causes beyond his control. Let your customers make the famous 
 CROMAR Hammer Test— you can dent the wood of course, but 
 you cannot flake off the varnish. 
 
 Back and Edges are also Protected 
 against Moisture 
 
 Often the most perfectly seasoned flooring will warp or shrink 
 because the under-side of ordinary flooring has no protection from 
 moisture. CROMAR is the only flooring we know of that is treated 
 on all surfaces. Jn addition to all of its other patented advantages, 
 CROMAR receives a supplementary treatment with a moisture- 
 resisting compound that completely covers backandedges. CROMAR 
 is thus protected from dampness coming up from below, so common

Improved V-Joint Type of Tongue and Groove 
 is Quicker and Cheaper to Lay 
 
 The laying of CROMAR Flooring is one of the simplest and easiest jobs in the 
 construction of a building. It is no more difficult when re-laying in an old house. 
 Each CROMAR strip is perfect. The improved V-joint type of CROMAR tongue 
 and groove fits closely and evenly, without “‘blocking.” Each nail hole is punched. 
 
 The flat, beveled edge of the 
 tongue permits quick, accurate 
 %" x14" 2 ie nailing without any necessity 
 ra = <> whatever of “‘setting”’ the heads. 
 SUB-FLOOR. Soe trained, highly paid 
 floor-layers are not needed. 
 CROMAR is Available 
 
 in Two Beautiful Finishes 
 
 Light finished CROMAR shows the lustrous, brilliant color 
 which has been identified with the finest hardwood flooring for 
 so many, many years. Lately however, there has sprung up a 
 demand for a Dark finished flooring. To meet this demand, 
 CROMAR Weathered Oak Flooring was developed. 
 
 Its beauty is more restrained, and its more neutral tone 
 harmonizes well with any decorative scheme. For these 
 reasons, Weathered Oak CROMAR appeals to the artistic 
 sense of many home-owners, and is often preferred by archi- 
 tects and interior decorators. The finish of Weathered Oak 
 CROMAR consists of a deeply penetrating stain and two coats 
 of a very hard-drying wax. This waxed finish is more easily 
 kept up than a varnish or shellac finish, since worn spots can 
 be quickly renewed by simply rubbing a little wax on the 
 surface. And, though the dark finish will show dust a little 
 more plainly, it does not show dirt and black marks which 
 become so conspicuous on the light-finished floor. 
 
 Perfectly Packed; Dimage and Soiling 
 
 The strips are packed face to face, 18 or 24 pieces to 
 a bundle. Bundles are clamped in a press, edges pro- 
 tected with crating, and bound with strap 
 iron to prevent rubbing. Fastened so 
 tightly together, it is impossible for strips 
 to work loose. ‘Thus they are made light- 
 proof, dirt- and dust-proof. Each bundle 
 is stenciled with grade and quantity, so 
 the material can be stored, without un- 
 crating, until ready for use. Loss from 
 broken tongues and grooves, split ends and 
 damaged faces is completely eliminated. 
 
 Dark Finished CROMAR 
 (Weathered Oak Finish) 
 
 Both finishes are beautiful, and the choice remains one of 
 ght personal preference. 
 (Standard Finish) ; 
 Letters Expressing Satisfaction with the 
 Beauty and Wear of CROMAR 
 
 —and the ease and speed with which CROMAR is laid—received 
 from Contractors, Architects, Dealers and Home-Owners—are kept 
 on file for reference by anyone interested. Here are a few merely to 
 indicate the general tone of this gratifying correspondence from every 
 section of the country :— 
 
 From a Contractor 
 
 From a Dealer 
 “How soon could you duplicate our last carload order? We just 
 landed a large order for an apartment house . . . and fully expect to 
 sell two other apartment houses now under construction. We are 
 very much pleased with your flooring and feel that it is far ahead of 
 ordinary oak flooring due to its fine finish, better grades, the moisture- 
 proofing, and the fact that it is inexpensive to lay.” 
 
 SOMERS LUMBER CO., Atlantic City, N. J. 
 From a Home Owner 
 
 “We are very enthusiastic about your product and we think it will 
 take the place of all other hardwood floors, at least in this vicinity. 
 We have at present orders for houses being built for better than 
 10,000 feet of CROMAR.” 
 
 EDWARDS CONSTRUCTION CO., Edwardsville, Il. 
 
 From an Architect 
 
 “The writer has in the past six months specified CROMAR Flooring 
 in connection with the erection of a number of residences. I feel that 
 if you would be good enough to send me the convincing sample of 
 CROMAR, I could close with one or two more clients at this time.”’ 
 
 F. McC. CROOKS, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
 
 (Needless to say, the samples were sent, as they will be sent to 
 anyone interested.) 
 
 “About a year ago I installed your finished hardwood flooring in 
 one room of my house to ascertain whether it would be suitable 
 over an old floor in rather poor condition. This floor has proven so 
 satisfactory that I have ordered enough from my lumber dealer to 
 complete the remaining rooms. Kindly send me a can each of 
 CROMAR Liquid Cleaner and CROMAR Body Wax.” 
 
 W. L. DURAND, New York, N. Y. 
 
 From a Builder 
 “Tt is little more than a year since [ laid the first CROMAR floor in 
 St. Petersburg. Today it is being specified for the finest new homes, 
 not to speak of occupied dwellings. For example, the last lot I 
 used went into a new residence costing $80,000.” 
 
 CHAS. M. KNAPP, St. Petersburg, Fla. 
 
 These Photographs Show Buildings with CROMAR Floors 
 
 —and are intended only to picture the fact that CROMAR is the ideal hardwood flooring for every type of building. CROMAR is beautiful enough 
 for the most pretentious residence yet economical enough for the most modest. And it is the only logical oak flooring for the re-laying of old floors.

RITTER APPALACHIAN OAK FLOORING 
 
 Manufactured By 
 
 W. M. RITTER LUMBER COMPANY 
 
 America’s Largest Producer of Hardwood Lumber 
 
 General Offices: 115 E. Rich Street, Columbus, Ohio 
 
 Be careful in the selection of the 
 flooring for your new home if you 
 would avoid disappointment after its 
 completion. The sharp differences in 
 the character of the grain, texture and 
 color of the various brands of flooring 
 make discrimination imperative—for 
 the floors of the home can add to or 
 detract from the harmony of the en- 
 tire interior decorative scheme. 
 
 Quality 
 
 The fewer the number of species of 
 oak involved, the better the kiln dry- 
 ing and the greater the uniformity of 
 color obtained. RITTER Appalachian 
 White Oak is produced from but two 
 species. RITTER Appalachian Red 
 Oak is produced from but three 
 species. 
 
 Oak flooring, if it is to give the 
 maximum of beauty and satisfaction, 
 must be made from Oak of fine grain, 
 even texture and more uniform color, 
 enabling the workmen to lay and 
 scrape with ease and economy in such 
 a way as to give, when finished, a 
 smooth,uniform appearance, free from 
 irregularities, and pleasing to the eye. 
 
 All RITTER Appalachian Oak Flooring is made of 
 oak grown in the Appalachian mountains which em- 
 bodies these essential qualities. For these reasons, floors 
 laid with RITTER Flooring are unusually beautiful, 
 fine in grain, even in texture, uniform in color and 
 
 economical to lay and finish. 
 
 Reasons for the Greater Beauty 
 of Ritter Flooring 
 
 Floor beauty is largely a matter 
 of timber growth. Granted that the 
 flooring is well manufactured, prop- 
 erly handled, and well laid, the 
 charm of the completed floor goes 
 back to the forests in which the 
 timber originates. 
 
 How appropriate the timber is de- 
 pends principally on where it was 
 grown. Oak grown in low, swampy 
 areas, although suitable for many 
 purposes, is usually of coarse, flashy 
 grain and uneven texture, due to 
 fast growth and the resultant wide 
 growth rings. Such oak is. not 
 adapted to the production of floor- 
 ing of the same character of beauty 
 as highland oak of fine, subdued 
 grain and uniform texture. 
 
 Highland oak, particularly that 
 from the Appalachian Region, on the 
 other hand. possesses fine grain, 
 close, even texture and more uni- 
 form color—qualities so essential to 
 the truly beautiful floor. These char- 
 acteristics are due to slow growth 
 in the elevated and well drained 
 areas of the Appalachian mountains, 
 where there is an abundance of 
 oxygen and nitrogen, where the 
 tree roots are well aerated, all re- 
 sulting in the comparatively thin 
 cell wall found in oak of desirable 
 texture. 
 
 Beauty 
 
 RITTER Appalachian Oak Floor- 
 ing, embodying all the qualities de- 
 sired in Oak flooring, gives charm and 
 elegance to the home. Many archi- 
 tects and builders have discovered the 
 fact that the results desired in treat- 
 ment, finish and resultant beauty in 
 final appearance, can be more success- 
 fully obtained by using RITTER 
 Appalachian Oak than in any other 
 way. RITTER Appalachian Oak floor- 
 ing is not only made from the finest 
 of timber, properly seasoned and 
 manufactured, but in addition it is 
 stored in warm rooms from the time 
 it is manufactured until it is shipped 
 to its final destination, thus assuring 
 to its users, the maximum of satis- 
 faction. 
 
 Cost 
 
 The slight additional cost for this 
 material is far more than made up 
 through the economy in laying, scrap- 
 ing and finishing, and in the satisfac- 
 tion of having the dignity, tone and 
 beauty characteristic of floors made 
 of RITTER Appalachian Oak, and in 
 increased resale value. 
 
 For Every Requirement 
 
 RITTER Flooring is made in standard grades and 
 sizes. No matter what the requirement, there is a grade 
 of RITTER Flooring to care for it. Each possesses the 
 same fundamental qualities that have made “Ritter 
 Brand” the acknowledged superior in the oak flooring 
 
 field. 
 
 Remember 
 
 The standard rules for grading Oak Floor- 
 ing give consideration to such imperfections 
 as knots, worm holes, sap, splits, and similar 
 defects, but they do not give consideration to 
 grain, texture or color; therefore, to be 
 assured of beautiful Oak floors, it is neces- 
 sary, in addition to specifying the grade de- 
 sired, to specify also that the flooring ordered 
 must be manufactured from Appalachian Oak. 
 The easiest and surest way of securing a 
 satisfactorily finished floor is to insist on

Andersen Standard White Pine Window Frames 
 
 Manufactured by 
 ANDERSEN LUMBER COMPANY 
 
 Bayport, Minnesota 
 
 Products: 
 
 Andersen Standard White Pine Window 
 Frames, White Pine Door Frames, Cellar 
 Sash Frames and Barn Sash Frames. 
 
 Over Twenty Years’ Experience: 
 
 Since 1904 this company has specialized 
 in the manufacture of standard window 
 frames and in that time over 5,000,000 
 Andersen Frames have been installed in 
 homes throughout the nation. 
 
 Genuine White Pine for All 
 Exposed Parts: 
 
 All exposed parts of Andersen Frames—the outside 
 casing, drip cap, mouldings and sills—are made of 
 Genuine White Pine. This wood is recognized as the 
 best wood for out-of-door use because it withstands the 
 effects of the elements without shrinking, warping, 
 rotting, swelling or creeping. It requires less paint 
 and holds it longer than other woods and the texture 
 is such that good machine work gives perfect results. 
 This is the same wood as was used in the nation’s 
 oldest standing homes—not West-

 Only Seven Units that Come in 
 Two Compact Bundles: 
 
 The average window frame is made up ot 
 57 different parts, the ordinary knock-down 
 frame has 18 parts, but the Andersen Frame 
 comes complete in only seven units. Com- 
 plete plain cap head casings or moulded cap 
 head casings with drip cap and moulding 
 nailed in place are furnished as one member. 
 A mitred piece of moulding for making the 
 returns is fastened where it will remain 
 until the building is sided. The sills are 
 horned and cut exact. The side jambs are 
 dadoed to fit the sill and have the pulleys screwed in 
 place; the pockets cut, broken out and refastened with 
 screws; and the blind and varting stops nailed ac- 
 curately in place. 
 
 Side casings are beveled to fit the sill and cut square 
 on the upper end to the exact length. Blind and part- 
 ing stops are cut exact, fitted for the sill and fastened 
 in place. The head jamb comes complete with blind 
 and parting stops cut exact and nailed in place. 
 
 These seven units come packed 
 
 ern, Oregon or California white 
 pine, but the genuine old-fash- 
 woned white pine and it gives long 
 hfe and permanent accuracy to 
 Andersen Frames. 
 
 Adaptable for Any Type 
 cf House: 
 
 In construction and in beauty 
 of design Andersen Frames blend 
 into almost any architectural style 
 that the builder desires. Whether | 
 the structure is of frame, brick or | 
 stucco there is a style of Andersen 
 Frame to meet the need. They 
 offer the builder unlimited oppor- 
 tunity for putting his individ- 
 uality and personality into the | 
 building. From the millionaire’s | 
 mansion to the small bungalow 
 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 
 they carry out the appearance de- 
 sired. Even in period houses or 
 in old colonial dwellings they 
 impart a pleasing and artistic 
 effect. In Andersen Frames ap- 
 pearance has been combined with 
 superior quality, ingenious con- 
 struction and adaptability to a 
 variety of building purposes. 
 
 Andersen Standard 
 Frame with Moulded 
 Cap Head Casing 
 
 in two compact bundles. The sill, 
 head casing and head jamb com- 
 plete are in the “Head and Sill 
 Bundle.” The side casings, and 
 side jambs complete come in the 
 “Side Bundle.” Each bundle 
 weighs less than twenty pounds, 
 is plainly marked for size and 
 bound with strip iron. 
 
 There are no loose or frail parts 
 to become lost or broken in transit 
 or on the job. 
 
 121 Different Sizes from 
 11 Standard Sizes: 
 
 Out of a stock of 11 sizes of 
 | standard frames your Andersen 
 dealer can supply you with 121 
 | sizes of two light window frames. 
 ! That is possible because the 
 | heights and widths are inter- 
 | changeable. Because of this fea- 
 
 ture you can get immediate de- 
 livery of the size frame you wish. 
 The dealer can load your order 
 7 while you wait and the frames 
 will be on the job when you want 
 them, thus eliminating expensive 
 delays.

 Head and Sill Bundle 
 
 Andersen Frames Can be Put Up 
 in Ten Minutes: 
 
 So accurately are Andersen Frames constructed 
 that no trimming or fitting is required on the job. 
 Any carpenter with a hammer and nineteen nails 
 ean put up an Andersen Frame in ten minutes. 
 Compare the labor cost on the Andersen with the 
 cost of assembling the eighteen parts of the or- 
 dinary knock-down frame or the 57 parts of the 
 average window frame. 
 
 Keeps Out Wind and Water: 
 
 Andersen Frames are built to give comfort and 
 service and embody features that keep out wind 
 
 Double Shoulder on Sill 
 
 and water. he sills have double shoulders, the 
 bottom sash rests against one and the storm sash 
 or screen against the other, making it impossible 
 for wind or water to enter. The groove under 
 the front edge of the water drip prevents water from 
 running back. On plain cap head casings, the water 
 drip is rabbetted where it fits onto the casing insuring 
 
 Plain Cap Head Casing 
 
 tight fit and keeping water from running back. The 
 parting stop groove is made shallower than the sill dado 
 
 Moulded Cap Head Casing 
 
 so that the water hitting the parting stop groove drops 
 onto the sill and follows the slope out of the building. 
 
 Side Bundle 
 
 Construction of Subsill 
 Frame 
 
 Subsill frames can also be furnished. On these 
 a shoulder on the sill fits into a subsill groove— 
 another waterproof feature. 
 
 High Grade Pulleys: 
 
 The cast iron pulleys have 
 polished and lacquered faces 
 and wheels. The face is 1x4% 
 inches; the wheel is 2 inches 
 in diameter with a 4 inch 
 steel axle. They are heavier 
 and of better quality than 
 most stock frame pulleys. In 
 a recent test with a ball 
 bearing pulley the ball bearing 
 pulley was off its bearings 
 after ten years use but the 
 Andersen pulley was still 
 running strong and true, ready 
 for many more years. The 
 pulleys are screwed in place 
 and fit the mortise perfectly. 
 The bundling method prevents 
 breakage in transit. 
 
 Saves Time on the Job: 
 
 Everything possible is done at the factory to save time 
 on the job. Every part that can be, is nailed in place and 
 by combining the many parts saves the carpenter work. 
 The pockets can be opened before or after casing up the 
 window without injuring the pulley stile face. The blind 
 stops are marked to show where the casing should be set. 
 
 Specialization, modern factory methods and automatic 
 machinery makes it possible to manufacture and assemble 
 the many parts at less expense than the builder can: 
 Frames made on the job can’t compete with machinery 
 made frames either in accuracy or price. Special built 
 frames can’t compete with the product of the large factory. 
 
 When you consider that an Andersen Frame can be put 
 up complete in ten minutes you can see their economy. 
 The Genuine White Pine maintains the accurate construc- 
 tion as long as the house lasts. 
 
 Box Window Frames for Solid Walls: 
 
 Andersen Box Window Frames for brick, tile, concrete 
 and other solid walled buildings, embody the same high 
 quality, accurate construction and Genuine White Pine as 
 the standard window frames. Where possible they have 
 the same time saving features and also special features that 
 make them invaluable for their purpose.

 Design 
 
 Woodwork has two-fold importance in the home beautiful. 
 {t is architecturally and structurally a part of the house itself, 
 At the same time it strikes the keynote of the interior decora- 
 tive scheme. Beauty in the home must begin with the wood- 
 work. 
 
 Realizing this two-fold importance, the makers of Curtis 
 Woodwork have made available to contractors and home 
 builders everywhere east of the Rockies, woodwork designs that 
 conform to the most rigid requirements of the architect and 
 interior decorator. Curtis designs were created especially for 
 the Curtis Companies by Trowbridge & Ackerman, of New 
 York City, architects who have designed some of the most 
 expensive houses in America and done work that authorities 
 say is “worthy to stand with the best work of all time.’’ The 
 best houses in America and England have served as prototypes 
 for Curtis designs; and the result is woodwork beautiful enough 
 for the mansion but within the buying power of the builder 
 of the most modest cottage. 
 
 Construction 
 
 These authentic designs are produced by Curtis according to 
 very rigid specifications as regards materials, methods and 
 workmanship. It is impossible to describe here all Curtis 
 construction details in full. The examples of the rabbeted 
 check rail used in Curtis double-hung windows; the panel 
 
 Curtis Door Moldings—The cross-sec- 
 tions on the left show the two types of 
 moldings—ovolo and flush—used on all 
 Curtis doors, and the construction of 
 solid ‘‘raised’’ panels in softwood doors. 
 In doors 1%4-inch thick these panels are 
 1ys-inch thick; in 1%-inch doors, they 
 are -inch thick. Thus they have 
 greater strength and a heavier ‘‘raise’’ 
 that gives the door beauty and interest 
 not found in flatter panels. Note that 
 the ovolo molding is one with the stile or 
 rail, while the flush molding is ‘‘applied’’ 
 to a spline set in a groove in the stile 
 or rail so that as the panel expands and 
 contracts the molding will not pull away 
 from the frame of the door.

 Curtis Rabbeted Check-Rail 
 —The drawing at the right 
 shows a section through the 
 check-rails on a Curtis double- 
 hung window. Note the off- 
 set or ‘‘rabbet’’’ in the bev- 
 eled joint between these rails. 
 Seven times as much wind 
 pressure is required to get 
 through this kind of a joint 
 as an ordinary beveled check- 
 rail,

 thicknesses in Curtis softwood doors; and the lock-mitre joint 
 in Curtis cabinetwork, must suffice. Study these carefully, for 
 they are typical of the through-and-through goodness that only 
 the Curtis trade-mark stands for. 
 
 Price 
 
 In spite of authentic design and superior materials and con- 
 struction, Curtis Woodwork costs little or no more than 
 ordinary millwork. When such expense items as cutting and 
 fitting and sanding on the job are taken into account, Curtis 
 Woodwork often costs less. Low cost has been made possible 
 by large scale production and wide distribution. 
 
 Deliveries 
 
 Curtis Woodwork is instantly available, either from the 
 Curtis Dealer, who usually stocks a large line, or through him 
 from the nearest Curtis plant. There are no chances for 
 delays, mistakes or expense, aS with made-to-order millwork. 
 Your house is not held up waiting for the frames, trim, 
 stairwork or cabinetwork, when you use Curtis Woodwork. 
 
 Curtis Woodwork is sold everywhere east of the Rockies 
 through lumber dealers who handle the line. The Curtis dealer 
 nearest you will be glad to give you full information about 
 the items he carries in stock and to show you his Curtis 
 Catalog, which offers you a complete selection of Curtis designs, 
 of which those shown here are merely examples. 
 
 Or a letter to the Curtis Companies Service Bureau, 395 
 Curtis Building, Clinton, Iowa, describing your requirements, 
 will bring complete information and recommendations. 
 
 Curtis Lock-Mitre Joint and Ordinary Nailed Butt Joint—In Curtis 
 cabinetwork corners are made by the Curtis lock-mitre or tongue- 
 and-groove joint. The pieces are glued, not nailed together. Result: 
 No edge grain wood at the corner to mar the finished surface; no 
 nail head holes; no open cracks; and a stronger joint. This same 
 construction is used in making square newels. 
 
 Curtis Lock-Mitre Joint Ordinary Nailed Butt Joint 
 
 In Curtis cabinets with drawers, the drawer sides and ends are 
 put together with dove-tailed corners; they cannot pull apart. The 
 drawers ate slightly narrower in the back than in the front and 
 they operate on center guides. These details prevent binding and 
 jamming. The drawer bottoms are three-ply boards set in grooves 
 in the sidés and ends all around; they cannot come loose and slip 
 out at any point. Face stock in Curtis cabinets is 1¥%-inch thick; 
 the wood is all carefully matched in both color and grain; and 
 Gurtis construction is better than that found in much of the fine 
 furniture on the market.

 their ability to interpret plans and detail and to 
 create woodwork adapted to the individual need. 
 
 Permanence, Economy, Beauty 
 
 The use of Hurd Woodwork throughout the build- 
 ing will add much to its comfort, durability and low 
 upkeep—fer, regardless of careful design and proper 
 construction, a house can be no better than the material whicn 
 goes into it. Hurd Woodwork is manufactured from only first 
 quality lumber, properly seasoned and worked up under ideal 
 conditions. Its use prevents sagging doors, jammed windows, 
 warped panels, twisted mouldings and open cracks in interior 
 woodwork. Because it is so well finished at the factory there is 
 little or no additional work for the carpenter to do. Hurd Wood- 
 work comes to the job full length, uniform in width and thick- 
 ness and surfaced on all four sides. It is as nearly straight and 
 true as good milling can make it and tongue and groove stock 
 fit perfectly.

HURD WOODWORK— (Continued) 
 
 Ritter Oak Flooring 
 
 Elegance and dignity always make a strong appeal 
 to those of discriminating judgment, particularly 
 when these elements may be combined with utility. 
 
 The use of hardwood flooring presents a striking 
 example of such a combination. 
 
 An oak floor, 
 even in a modest 
 home, adds _ so 
 much to its attrac- 
 tiveness and value 
 that, from a mone- 
 tary standpoint 
 alone, it is a mis- 
 take to use any 
 other kind of floor- 
 ing. Oak floors 
 are practically in- 
 destructible and 
 under ordinary 
 conditions will last 
 a life time. 
 
 Each species of 
 dak possesses its in- 
 dividual color and 
 texture, the low- 
 land oak being much coarser than oak grown in the 
 Appalachian area where are found the finest hard- 
 wood trees in the world. 
 
 Chief among the factors contributing to the super- 
 lority of Ritter Appalachian Oak Flooring is the re- 
 markable quality of timber from which these woods 
 are cut. Mild texture, uniformly fine, subdued grain 
 and excellent color are characteristics of this flooring. 
 Such qualities assure economy in working and finish- 
 ing and afford unusual beauty in the finished product. 
 Because of the extreme care used in the manufactur- 
 ing, storing and shipping Ritter Oak Flooring will be 
 found to lay easily and evenly with a minimum of 
 effort and cost. 
 
 Oak flooring is shipped from the nearest storage 
 point. Write for prices and literature describing the 
 uses for which various grades of oak flooring are 
 adapted and methods of laying, scraping and finish- 
 ing. 
 
 A unique and pleasing effect is ob- 
 tained with parquetry flooring laid in 
 herringbone style. 
 
 Aromatic Tennessee Red Cedar 
 
 Red cedar lined closets offer practical and conven- 
 ient year round storage for furs and woolens. 
 
 The aromatic fragrance of Tennessee Red Cedar is 
 very pleasant and acts as an efficient moth deterrent.

 Miracle Doors 
 
 The Miracle Door has been endorsed by architects 
 and received enthusiastically by the entire building 
 industry. 
 
 The Miracle Door combines the simplicity of the 
 one panel door with the richness of a moulded design. 
 Because of its appearance of weight the 18%” thick- 
 ness fills requirements which ordinarily demand an 
 inch and three-quarters door. The smooth, sanitary 
 surface adapts it for use in place of a flush door at 
 a great saving in cost. 
 
 Made in a variety of both hard and soft woods, the possi- 
 bilities of staining Miracle Doors and using them in connection 
 with varied wall treatments is unlimited. They adapt them- 
 selves to the many styles of architecture and are suitable for 
 buildings of practically every type. 
 
 A complete assortment of Miracle Doors are carried in stock 
 and prompt delivery may be had on standard dimensions. Other 
 sizes made to order. Panel doors can be readily changed to 
 mirror doors by applying the mirror mould. 
 
 The Handy Ironing Board Cabinet 
 
 = A cabinet designed for 
 convenience and utility at 
 a very moderate price. 
 Manufactured from clear 
 white pine with braces 
 and all wearing parts of 
 hardwood, it will not

 being secured by using a 
 laminated hardwood panel 
 in the back. 
 
 Both boards are shaped 
 so that pad or clothes

 is quite the correct thing to use. 
 
 At the left is a modern design entrance 
 (M-60) that can be installed at a very 
 nominal cost and will prove wonderfully 
 satisfactory as time goes on.

 deserving. The door of the flush type

 The cores for Morgan Hardwood 
 doors are built up of glued sections 
 of White Pine which experience has 
 proved is the best material for this 
 purpose. The illustration to the 
 right points out the solid core construction which justifies the 
 statement that ‘‘as the core is, so is the door’’. Veneering is 
 added for beauty and appearance. 
 
 *The Exclusive MORGAN 
 Wedge-Dowel Construction 
 
 Te in Wai maT: doors the Wedge Dowels (patented) are 
 used in the construction of the Lockwood Door. Their opera- 
 tion is shown in the illustration to left, and indicates plainly 
 why Morgan doors are both permanent and beautiful. There is 
 not a bare possibility of this door warping, twisting or falling 
 apart.

 pendable quality on every ORGA

RODDIS FLUSH DOORS 
 
 Manufactured by 
 RODDIS LUMBER & VENEER COMPANY 
 
 MARSHFIELD, WISCONSIN 
 Branch Offices in All Principal Cities throughout the World. 
 
 Description 
 
 Roddis Flush Doors are of five-ply construction and 
 differ from the panel-type of door in that the five plies 
 of wood run solidly from top to bottom with no panels 
 or moldings. In appearance, these Doors are one piece 
 of solid wood, with smooth unbroken surfaces of great 
 natural beauty. 
 
 Exc_usive Features and Merits 
 
 By installing Roddis Flush Doors, the building profits 
 from these advantages which are obtainable in no other 
 make of doors. They should be recommended in all 
 cases where these features are wanted: 
 
 (1) Fire-resisting. They may be depended upon to 
 bar the spread of flame from any room they guard. 
 
 (2) Soundproof. The solid thickness of wood serves 
 as a positive blanket for noise. 
 
 (3) Sanitary. There are no panels, no moldings, no 
 cracks to gather and to hold dust or dirt. 
 
 (4) Impervious to moisture. Waterproof glue through- 
 out renders these Doors immune to harm from 
 water. 
 
 (5) They can not shrink, swell, sag, warp, separate 
 nor check—regardless of severity of usage. 
 
 (6) They are guaranteed to deliver 
 perfect performance and will be 
 replaced if found defective. 
 
 (7) They are the most beautiful doors 
 procurable. No unsightly panels 
 or moldings mar the broad sur- 
 faces of natural wood. 
 
 (8) They can be had in any desired 
 wood for finishing in any specified 
 manner; and inlaid, to answer 
 any decorative scheme. 
 
 Construction 
 
 All Roddis Doors are of the exclusive 
 design of five-ply construction as illustrated. 
 
 The core is of softwood blocks uneven in 
 length to absorb any tendency toward warp- 
 age. These are cemented with waterproof 
 glue, providing a core of unchangeable shape 
 and size with multiple the strength of a one- 
 piece core. 
 
 Around the core—top, bottom and both 
 
 sides—is an edge-strip of hardwood %4 inch thick ap- 
 pled with waterproof glue. This contributes added 
 strength and seals the core from moisture at the edges; 
 also furnishing a smooth edge for hardware. 
 
 The cross band of strong veneer, jg inch thick, is 
 glued over the two sides of the door, the grain of the 
 veneer running across the door. ‘This seals the two 
 faces against moisture. With the edge-strip, it locks 
 the core in an airtight compartment—the core can not 
 change from its original dimension. 
 
 The surface veneer, 7; inch thick, is applied with the 
 grain running vertically. This may be of any wood 
 desired to conform with interior decorative plans. 
 
 Under a hydraulic press, the assembled door is 
 squeezed into permanent alignment. It is given a 
 true, square and even surface which is retained under 
 severest service conditions. 
 
 The flush door is unlike the stile-and-rail type in 
 surface, weight and construction. It is five plies of 
 wood and waterproof glue, from top to bottom. 
 
 We are practically the originators of the flush door 
 in a commercial way and have made no change in this 
 basic construction for 18 years. 
 
 Veneers 
 
 Unless otherwise specified, ;4;-inch veneer is used on 
 all doors. Long experience proves the correctness of 
 this specification. Fine pianos and furniture use 
 veneer 1/24 or 1/28 inch thick. 
 
 Detail of Roddis Door Construction 
 A—Surface veneer of desired wood for finishing. 
 B—Cross banding veneer sealing faces of the core. 
 C—Hardwood edgestrip 34 inch thick on all edges. 
 D—Core of narrow soft-wood strips glued to provide unchangeable 
 foundation for veneers.

 Inlays 
 
 Inlays are furnished in any 
 design, in plain or fancy woods. 
 Crests, numbers, names and 
 special designs can be supplied. 
 Before inlaid, doors should be 
 stained in order to protect the 
 inlay. This is important and 
 should be handled at our plant. 
 
 Guarantee 
 
 This Company unconditionally 
 guarantees every Roddis Door 
 and agrees to repair or replace 
 without charge any doors that 
 within two years should be found 
 defective in workmanship or ma- 
 terial. 
 
 Gain in Beauty 
 Save in Cost 
 
 Not only is a room of far 
 greater lasting beauty obtained 
 by using Roddis Flush Doors but 
 the cost is no more than that of 
 trimming rooms the old way, 
 using the common, old-style panel 
 door. 
 
 Instead of using an expensive 
 hardwood for the trim, a _ big 
 saving is effected by using gum, 
 fir or some other low-priced wood. 
 This is painted or enameled 
 either a glossy or egg-shell finish 
 of white, ivory, pearl gray or 
 similar light color. The walls are 
 done in color to harmonize. 
 
 Against this background, the 
 Roddis Flush Doors stand out in 
 rare beauty. The result is a room 
 bright and cheery, of modern ap- 
 pearance, and devoid of the same- 
 ness of one finish of wood 
 throughout. 
 
 For all Buildings 
 Small and Large 
 
 Roddis Flush Doors are suited 
 equally to small homes and larg- 
 est buildings. Prominent hotels, 
 hospitals, apartments, schools, 
 public buildings and attractive 
 homes in all sections of the coun- 
 try have used them for many 
 years. As few or as many Doors 
 as needed can be bought. 
 
 Always in Stock 
 24 Hours Shipments 
 
 These Doors are carried in all 
 standard sizes and are ready for 
 instant shipment. Special Doors 
 to meet architects’ specifications 
 are produced as needed. Inlay 
 and other special work is quickly 
 handled. 
 
 Reference Catalogs 
 
 Complete Reference Catalogs 
 and Special Bulletins are ayail- 
 able for aid in door installations 
 and will be mailed upon request. 
 Prices on standard sizes, and 
 quotations on special work or 
 large installations are promptly 
 submitted. 
 
 Note how the woodwork painted in light colors emphasize the beauty of the darker-toned 
 furnishings. The Door’s broad surface of natural wood blends with the large pieces of well- 
 finished furniture. The Door is of mahogany and adds to the decorative value of the room. 
 
 For living rooms, libraries, hails and similar rooms, inlays give beautiful effects. This work 
 is special, costs comparatively little per door, and is done at the factory. Exquisite effects are 
 obtained at low cost. Many other beautiful effects can be worked out to fit individual needs.

 What Laminex Is 
 
 We offer in Laminex a moderate- 
 priced door with all the advantages of a 
 built-up or veneer door—and none of 
 the disadvantages. Laminex will not 
 shrink, swell or warp, because the 
 stiles, rails and panels are built-up and 
 the grain of adjoining sections so 
 crossed that all expansion and contraction are 
 
 Laminex waterproof cemented panels, and 
 
 equalized.

 We have perfected a waterproof cement which 
 
 Old-growth Douglas Fir is used exclu- 
 sively in our products. 
 
 Resources and Experience 
 
 THE WHEELER, OSGoop ComMPANY, established in 1889, 
 are pioneers in the manufacture of Douglas Fir doors and 
 fir sash. Our production of doors is the largest in the world. 
 According to U. S. Department of Commerce figures, we pro- 
 duced nearly 10% of the American output in 1924. 
 
 We own a large stand of fine, old-growth Douglas Fir 
 and operate our own logging camps, lumber mill and door 
 factories. 
 
 Water Test—24 
 hours’ soaking 
 showed complete 
 absence of warp- 
 ing in Laminex 
 doors. All parts of 
 the doors. re- 
 mained rigid and 
 strong. 
 
 Heat Test — 24 
 hours in a com- 
 mercial dry kiln at 
 185° F., with hu- 
 midity of 30%. 
 Moisture extracted

 shrinkage, warping 
 or checking. 
 
 Strength Test— 
 Laminex panels, in 
 a 200,000-lb. Olsen 
 testing machine, 
 stood an average 
 load of 912 lb. on 
 a square-inch sur- 
 face without rup- 
 turing. 
 
 Scientific Tests 
 Laminex doors, taken at random out of stock, were tested for 
 effect of moisture and heat and for strength by Prof. Bror L. Gron- 
 dal in the Forest Products Laboratory, University of Washington, 
 
 TRADE-MARK 
 
 has withstood scientific tests—has gone through 
 floods and exposure where doors of all other types 
 and woods failed. 
 
 Over a million Laminex doors are now in use, many of 
 them in climates where excessive moisture or heat causes 
 other veneered doors to separate, check, buckle and peel. 
 
 Construction of Laminex Doors 
 
 Several special features add to the remarkable strength 
 and superiority of Laminex doors. 
 
 Dowels—-Dowel construction as shown below. All Lami- 
 nex and Woco doors have four wooden dowels in the bot- 
 tom rail and two in the 
 top rail. All dowels are 
 5g in. in diameter and 
 5 in. long. These give 
 50% more strength and 
 30% greater cementing 
 surface than dowels 14% 
 in. in diameter. 
 
 Wedge Joint—tiIn 
 building .the stiles and 
 rails, a strip is dovetailed 
 and cemented the entire 
 length with a _ tight- 
 wedged joint (see dia- 
 gram below). When the 
 200-lb. per square inch 
 hydraulic pressure _ is 
 exerted on each section 
 and it is dried under this 
 
 Dowel Construction

 BY PATENTS BECOME AGENTS 
 Fresh Air for All: from storm, wind, dust, sun and view, making it ideal for 
 
 For homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, plants and 
 everywhere ventilation is needed. Better health, longer life. 
 
 The Allen Window gives an added value out of all pro- 
 portion to the cost. The most important thing in life is 
 health, and the greatest boon to health is pure air. Indoor 
 life must be provided with fresh air or your physical and 
 mental decay is only a matter of time. Pure air, the best 
 medicine on earth, every minute of the day and night 
 increases your pep and efficiency and repays the cost in a 
 financial as well as a physical way many times over. Ven- 
 tilating systems destroy the electrical vitality of the air, 
 a window ventilator is needed with them. 
 
 Automatic Ventilation: 
 
 The panels can be set to close when the wind blows 
 and open again when the air is still. You can regulate 
 the panels to close easily with a light wind or to require 
 a strong wind to close them. You can limit the opening 
 of the panels or limit their closing to any degree desired. 
 Never any direct draft. 
 
 You can set the panels stationary at any angle, set 
 them on a level and wash them from the inside, and in 
 that position you can see out when florentine glass is used. 
 When panels are closed they make a storm window. In 
 any position they are burglar proof. One small lever does 
 all the operating. You can limit the ventilating space. 
 
 When made with florentine glass they are beautiful and 
 combine in one device a window, an automatic ventilator, 
 a stationary ventilator, a storm window, a shade, and a 
 fly screen. It gives all the air and light with protection 
 
 bath rooms and bed rooms, and whereyer privacy is desired. 
 Plain glass is used when desired. 
 
 Construction: 
 
 Allen Windows and Ventilators are built to order on 
 receipt of specifications. The Ventilators are designed to 
 use with ordinary window sash and do not interfere in 
 any way with the use of the regular window. The frame 
 is made of non-rustable metal and the panels of any kind 
 of glass desired cut six inches wide and overlap one-half 
 when closed. 
 
 Made in Five Styles: 
 
 (1)—A Ventilator of three panels. 
 
 (2)—A Ventilator of five panels. 
 
 (8)—A Ventilator for the entire upper or lower sash. 
 
 (4)—A Ventilator for the complete opening, as illustration 
 above shows. 
 
 (5)—A complete window having the ventilating panels, 
 and a framed glass behind them that can be raised 
 or lowered like the ordinary window, to limit the 
 ventilating space. 
 
 When the Ventilators are used the regular sash is raised 
 or lowered to limit the ventilating space, but the complete 
 Allen Window is more compact. These are made to take 
 the place of the regular lower or upper sash or both sash 
 as desired.

BESSLER DISAPPEARING STAIRWAYS 
 
 Manufactured by 
 THE BESSLER DISAPPEARING STAIRWAY CO., AKRON, O. 
 
 The Bessler makes it profitable to use the attic or other 
 room above because it takes up no space whatever in the 
 room below. When not in use, the Bessler glides smoothly 
 and noiselessly upward and disappears with only a neat 
 panel visible from below. 
 
 In making the attic conveniently available for clothes 
 closet, bed room or other living room, the Bessler adds 
 from $500 to $1000 to the value of any house because it 
 takes up no space and does not disturb the arrangement 
 of the room below. The cost of the Bessler is not more 
 than one tenth of the value of the extra space it creates. 
 It is cheaper even than the old fashioned space wasting 
 box stairway. 
 
 The Bessler is substantially and carefully made of the 
 best materials. It is so well counterpoised by two spring 
 drums that a child can raise and lower it with ease. 
 
 It requires no extra care or attention, and it will last 
 as long as the house. 
 
 The smallest home can not afford to be without a Bessler 
 because of the needed space it makes available. On the 
 other hand, there are many hunadred-thousand-dollar homes 
 that have one or two Besslers because of the convenience 
 they afford. d F 
 
 Besslers are installed just as easily in houses under 
 construction or in old houses. Any carpenter can install 
 one in a few hours. Clearly drawn directions accompany 
 each stairway. 
 
 Bessler Disappearing Stairways are tried and proved by 
 15 years’ use. They are covered by twelve patents, with 
 others pending. 
 
 A Guarantee, as shown below, covers every Bessler. You 
 take no chance in installing one. There are thousands 
 giving perfect satisfaction all over the country.

 The Attic Stair Problem 
 
 Every builder knows the difficulty of providing for an attic stairway, 
 particularly in the small home. It often means the sacrifice of room space 
 or closet space that can ill be spared. In attempting to install a stationary 
 stairs the room is often so reduced in size or cut up that it can only be used 
 
 he aE Te A ; Cut shows stairs tucked away in the attic 
 in a limited way and is a constant source of aggravation to the home owner. when not in use. Very little space is needed. 
 
 On the other hand, the storage space in the attic is too valuable to be wasted 
 and should be made accessible in some way. A hole in the ceiling is dangerous 
 and inconvenient and because of this is a poor makeshift. 
 
 The Solution 
 
 The “Presto” Disappearing Stairway solves the problem. It occupies no 
 space on the lower floor and but very little space in the attic. It consists 
 of a strongly built flight of stairs, with rigid hand rail, mounted on a solid 
 panel that closes into a frame set in the ceiling. When the stairs are not in 
 use they are entirely out of the way in the attic, no part of the equipment 
 visible on the floor below except the panel in the ceiling. A slight pull on 
 a short chain hanging from one end of the panel causes the panel to swing 
 down toward the floor and the stairs are then slid down the panel, the action 
 of both panel and stairs being controlled by powerful counterbalancing springs 
 that prevent any sudden movement. When stairs are no longer required a 
 gentle push sends them back into the attic; the panel closes and is tightly 
 held in place by the springs. 
 
 The space thus made available both upstairs and 
 down adds from $500 to $1,000 to the value of any home ¢ 
 without considering the added convenience. The Presto 
 is furnished complete ready to install and can be placed 
 in an old home in a day's time and in a new home in 
 a few hours. Simple instructions with each stair.

Kitchen Maid Standard Unit System 
 
 WASMUTH-ENDICOTT COMPANY

 Products: 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” Standard Units—including Kitchen Cabinets, Dish Closets, 
 Linen Cupboards, Broom Closets, In-a-wall Ironing Boards, Refrigerators, Divider 
 Cupboards, Pulmanooks, and In-a-wail telephone seats. 
 
 Kitchen Maid Standard Unit System: 
 
 The “Unit Idea” organizes the kitchen into a complete 
 system of compact storage and working units—each complete 
 in itself yet built so that it can be used together with one 
 or more other units, exactly according to the kitchen plans 
 of the user. 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” Standard Units are built to conserve space, 
 save labor, organize kitchen work, and make the kitchen 
 generally more efficient, clean and beautiful. They can be 
 installed in kitchens already built or can be built into a 
 kitchen specially designed to receive them. Units are stand- 
 ardized in construction—made for economy as well as quality. 
 They cost no more than old-fashioned cupboards. 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” Units represent the highest development 
 of cabinet-craftsmanship. They are built from carefully kiln 
 dried woods and are never shipped unless protected from 
 humidity changes by at least one coat of white paint, applied 
 immediately after they are finished. 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” smooth door construction eliminates 
 common panel doors. The doors are guaranteed not to 
 warp or get out of line. AJ interior corners of “Kitchen 
 Maid” Units are rounded, leaving no space for dirt to

 collect. The smooth door construction and rounded inside 
 corners of ‘Kitchen Maid” Units make possible an entirely 
 new degree of cleanliness. 
 
 Units are finished in choice of white enamel, gray enamel, 
 or one coat of flat undercoat. They are equipped with 
 hinges, latches and other hardware that are rust proof, sub- 
 stantial and practical.

 “Kitchen Maid” kitchen cabinet brings to any kitchen 
 a convenience and cleanliness which is practically 
 indispensable. 
 
 Aside from its many time-saving arrangements, the 
 “Kitchen Maid’ has the rounded inside corners and 
 the no-panel construction of doors and drawers which 
 eliminates 78 old-fashioned corners. For convenience, 
 it has a metal lined pastry compartment, tilting flour 
 bin, extension norcelain work top, automatic sugar 
 
 - jar, efficiency charts, condiment jars, skillet compart- 
 
 ment, bread drawer with self-acting cover, and many 
 other advantages.

 sturdiness of its construction, with every joint dove- 
 tailed or tennoned, and well seasoned material used 
 throughout.

 “Kitchen Maid’”’ Refrigerators 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” Refrigerators are built to 
 conform to the most exacting requirements 
 of mechanical refrigerating engineers. The 
 materials, finish, workmanship—and most 
 important of all, the insulation—are of the 
 very highest type. 
 
 Solidly built carrying out the smooth 
 door style and excellent enamel finish 
 of the remainder of the “Kitchen Maid” 
 line these refrigerators are handsome and 
 substantial. The interiors are lined with 
 galvanized iron white enameled in the food 
 compartments, insuring years of rust-resist- 
 ing service. 
 
 Good insulation, which is the fundamental 
 requisite of good refrigeration, is insured 
 by the use of two dead air spaces and one 
 inch of pressed cork. This insulation is gen- 
 erally accepted as the standard for good 
 refrigerators. 
 
 Broom Closet and [Ironing Board 
 Combined 
 
 Here is a unit which fits in any kitchen or 
 cabinet combination—no need for a special 
 opening in the wall, it sets anywhere. It 
 holds an average vacuum cleaner, brooms, 
 mops, and has a shelf for cans of polish or 
 the electric iron, and besides, the ironing 
 board, which is easily suspended flat against 
 
 Sohne ae ee pone the door when not in use. 
 
 Dish Closet 
 
 The Vertical Dish Closet No. 70 contains five roomy 
 shelves. This unit is used in combination with any of 
 
 the cabinets and top cupboards and it also may be used 
 alone in a corner of the kitchen or on an open wall 
 space, providing valuable storage room for dishes, uten- 
 sils, canned goods, etc. This unit may also be used as a 
 linen and utility cupboard for the bathroom. 
 
 “Kitchen Maid” Pulmanook 
 
 The Pulmanook converts the kitchen into both 
 kitchen and breakfast room. In a few seconds both 
 table and chairs can be folded out of the way after use, 
 leaving an open space for ironing or other purposes 
 during the rest of the day. 
 
 The table unfolds from a compact case. When closed 
 it takes up practically no room. When open, it is a 
 staunch and rigid table, large enough for four people. 
 The chairs unfold from the wall and take up no space 
 when folded. They make a substantial seat for persons 
 of any weight. 
 
 The Pulmanook is attractive, comfortable and solidly 
 built. It has the added advantage of being able to be 
 cleaned easily and quickly. |

 Cedar 
 
 For generations Cedar has been used and proved as one 
 of the most lasting and weather-resisting of all woods. 
 
 Western Red Cedar 
 
 In our Great Northwest are the largest, oldest, and most 
 perfect trees of the Cedar family. These Cedar trees are 
 500, some over 1,000 years old, and up to 16 ft. in diam- 
 eter. Many trees are found on the ground with trees 
 several hundred years old grown over them, and the Cedar 
 wood is sound. 
 
 The Maltese Cross Cedar Mill 
 
 Since 1890 the owners of this mill have specialized in 
 Cedar; they have studied building requirements for dur- 
 ability, attractiveness, comfort, upkeep, and other results. 
 They have spent thousands of dollars experimenting, 
 developing and perfecting machines and methods to furnish 
 builders with Cedar products that will give the most 
 satisfactory resnlts. 
 
 Drying 
 
 Some woods are better if kiln dried. Cedar gives better 
 results and is more economical to use and for upkeep if 
 natural air seasoned. Maltese Cross Cedar is strictly 
 natural air seasoned. 
 
 Seasoning 
 
 Our Cedar lumber is carefully cross piled, 50 to 60 
 feet high in the open, with the Hilke lumber piler, which 
 was developed and patented by our mill manager. 
 
 Trade-Mark 
 
 Maltese Cross Cedar is the best known lumber Trade- 
 mark, has been used since 1895, and is well known to build- 
 ers, architects, and the lumber trade in the United States 
 and some foreign countries. This trademark enables you 
 to identify this Cedar product and obtain the benefits from 
 using it.

 Cost 
 
 Maltese Cross Air Dried Cedar lumber, siding, and other 
 items, do not cost any more. As it is air seasoned and 
 manufactured by special machines, and special grades, the 
 net cost is less. Cedar does not cost any more than similar 
 soft woods, especially when the Cedar advantages are 
 considered. 
 
 Easy to Obtain 
 
 A large percent of the retail lumber dealers have Maltese 
 Cross Cedar in stock and your dealer can obtain it quickly 
 from the mill or from wholesale distributing points. You 
 cannot afford to accept substitutes. 
 
 Wood Insulation 
 
 Scientific tests show that wood is a _ better non-con- 
 ductor of heat, cold, and moisture than any other building 
 material. Lap or Bevel Siding is the best method in wood 
 to obtain insulation. Air Dried Cedar because it does not 
 swell, shrink, warp, or check is given the preference for 
 Bevel Siding. 
 
 Pitch and Resin 
 
 There is no pitch or resin in Cedar. Easy to paint, holds 
 paint, and does not require repainting as frequently as 
 other woods.

 All Air Dried Cedar.

 Product 
 
 Reswin Casements, standard- 
 ized steel windows for residence 
 use. While the sizes and types 
 adopted as standard are designed 
 primarily for homes, they may 
 be used for dormitories, clubs 
 and similar structures. 
 
 Appearance 
 
 Striking effects in residence 
 exteriors may be obtained through 
 the employment of Reswin Case- 
 ments. At the same time, their 
 slender, graceful beauty lends a 
 homelike atmosphere to interiors, 
 allowing many unusual forms of treatment. 
 
 Comparison with Wood 
 
 Wood windows often require the care of a car- 
 penter to keep them working properly. When sash 
 cords break, the trim must be removed and the paint 
 finish injured. In dry weather, wood windows shrink 
 to an extent where they rattle and admit air. In 
 damp weather they swell to a point where they stick 
 and are opened and closed with difficulty. These 
 troubles are typical of double-hung or sliding win- 
 dows. Casement windows of wood are also trouble- 
 some. They almost invariably leak, even though ex- 
 pensively weatherstripped. In a short time, the rack- 
 ing they receive in opening and closing, causes them 
 to deteriorate. Such faults are 
 avoided by the use of steel case- 
 ment windows. They always 
 operate easily, are everlasting, 
 and cost nothing for mainte-. 
 nance beyond an occasional coat 
 of paint. 
 
 Shades and Drapes 
 
 Shades may be used on steel 
 casement windows if desired, 
 but as the windows themselves 
 
 are ornamental, their beauty need not be hidden by 
 shades. They can be easily and simply draped to 
 give a most attractive appearance. A light, neutral 
 tinted draw curtain for control of light and a heavier 
 overdrape for privacy is usually preferred for home 
 use. 
 
 Screens 
 
 Reswin inward-opening casements may have sta- 
 tionary screens on the outside. Such screens are as 
 simple to apply as ordinary screens for wood windows, 
 and are just as convenient. Outward opening ease- 
 ments must have screens on the inside. These screens 
 are arranged to slide past one another so that the case- 
 ments may be reached. They may also be of a type 
 that swings in, or a special piece of hardware may 
 be applied at the sill to open the casements 
 through the screens. The vari- 
 ous arrangements are all shown 
 in our catalog on Reswin Case- 
 ments, free to anyone on request. 
 
 Guaranteed Weather Tight 
 
 When erected according to in- 
 structions, Reswin Casements 
 are guaranteed weathertight 
 without the use of weatherstrips. 
 This guarantee applies to both 
 inward and outward opening 
 
 types.

 Inward Opening Casements Made Weatherproof 
 
 Inward opening casements are easily 
 draped and screened and as Reswin Case- 
 ments are narrow they do not interfere 
 with interior arrangements when they 
 open in. Reswin Casements are guaranteed 
 
 weather-tight whether they open in or out. 
 Standard types. 28, 53, 83 and 113 are all 
 hinged at the side to open in and may be 
 used in attractive combinations with abso- 
 iute certainty-that they will give no trouble. 
 
 Combinations 
 
 Standard types shown above 
 may be combined to form 
 almost any sized opening. Add 
 the widths of the casements to 
 obtain the opening width di- 
 mension and add the heights 
 of the casements to obtain the 
 opening height dimension. All 
 clearances and_ steel maullion 
 connections are automatically 
 cared for.

 Cost and Quality 
 
 These standard windows may be installed at a cost 
 generally only slightly in excess of wood windows 
 when the expense of hardware, fitting, extra paint- 
 ing, ete., is all included. Such small extra cost makes 
 it possible to use them in the smallest bungalow or 
 cottage while the quality is such that these easements 
 are suitable for use in the most expensive homes. 
 
 Hardware 
 
 Hardware on side hung casements consists of a 
 solid bronze handle of pleasing design. At the head 
 of the casement is attached a friction stay which is 
 adjustable to meet local wind conditions. Bottom 
 hinged transoms have a bronze spring catch for pole 
 or hand operation and top hinged transoms have a 
 bronze peg stay. 
 
 Welds 
 
 All four corners of both stationary frames and 
 swinging frames are electrically welded. Steel plates 
 for receiving the hardware are welded to the case- 
 ment sections. No screws or rivets to work loose or 
 break.

 Steel 
 
 All steel used is Crittalloy, the copper-bearing 
 steel. This steel is more enduring than ordinary steel 
 and even if left unpainted would outlast by two or 
 three times steel without a copper content. In addi- 
 tion copper-bearing steel forms a better surface for 
 paint and will require less frequent painting than 
 other steels. 
 
 Paint 
 
 Paint consists of two coats of shop paint, each 
 coat baked on separately. A field coat of paint should 
 be applied to the casements to dress them up after 
 the wear and tear of shipping and erecting. 
 
 Workmanship 
 
 For over twelve years the Crittall Casement Win- 
 dow Company has been engaged in the exclusive 
 manufacture of steel and bronze casement windows 
 built to order for the most monumental work de- 
 signed by the best architects in the country. Such 
 a background of experience has bred in us a sincere 
 desire to turn out the best workmanship that it is 
 humanly possible to obtain. This is the best guaran- 
 tee of our customers’ satisfaction. 
 
 Casements may be shipped promptly 
 from stock when required. We will 
 eladly undertake the erection of our 
 sash when desired. In the preparation 
 of plans our sales engineers will be glad 
 to co-operate with the designer or build- 
 er in the detailing of our windows to 
 secure an economical and practical in- 
 stallation.

 The photograph above illustrates the beauty of simple drapes applied to steel casement 
 windows. Such drapery treatment may be used whether the casements open in or out. 
 When the casements open out inside screens are used. Such screens are always kept 
 clean and prevent drapes from blowing out and becoming soiled... When inward open- 
 ing casements are used the casements themselves keep the drapes inside and prevent soiling. 
 
 Ease of Installation 
 
 Reswin Casements are 
 shipped complete with hard- 
 ware, easily attached after 
 erection, with mastic cement, 
 with screws, lugs, or expan- 
 sion shields as required, and 
 directions for setting. Full

Fenestra Steel Windows for Homes 
 
 Manufactured by 
 DETROIT STEEL PRODUCTS COMPANY 
 
 Detroit, Michigan 
 
 Fenestra Casement Windows 
 
 Type 6426 
 
 Type 4326 
 
 Fenestra casements are a distinctly English type of 
 steel casement window for residences and apartments. 
 They have the domestic atmosphere created by small panes 
 and narrow muntins, the freedom of wide outswinging 
 leaves and the practical operating and weathering quali- 
 ties of the best English casement designs. 
 
 Being made from bars of solid steel, they are fireproof, 
 never warp, swell, shrink, stick or rattle, and do not rot 
 or decay. 
 
 The swinging sections close against the frame with a 
 wide flat two point contact which forms an absolute pro- 
 tection against storms. 
 
 Solid steel construction and strong welded corners 
 make possible the use of narrow muntins and framing 
 members, thus increasing the area of glass. 
 
 As compared to wood windows, Fenestra casements 
 admit more light through the same sized opening—or the 
 same amount of light through a smaller opening—thus 
 conserving wall space. 
 
 Fenestra casements are screened on the inside. This 
 prolongs the life of the screen, keeps the windows cleaner 
 and protects curtains and draperies. 
 
 Fenestra Casement Hardware 
 
 The swing leaves are locked by 
 a handle which moves on a 
 bronze bolt and is so attached 
 that constant operation cannot 
 cause it to work loose. 
 
 Casement stays are available in two types—the Peg and 
 Stay, as shown, which has a 10” arm terminating in a 
 bronze peg which fits into holes in the plate attached to 
 the sash; and the Sliding Stay, which locks the swing leaf 
 automatically in any position. ; ; 
 
 Standard handles and stays are malleable iron, with black, 
 rust-resisting finish. Bronze hardware is optional at slight 
 extra cost. 
 
 Hinges are solid steel, riveted and welded in place. They 
 are of the extension type, swinging the sash away from 
 the frame and providing an opening through which the 
 windows may be cleaned from inside the room.

 A casement window is right- or left-hand according to 
 whether the hinges are on the right or left, looking at 
 the window from the outside. Units with two ventilators 
 have one right- and one left-hand swing member. In 
 ordering units with single ventilators, specify whether 
 right- or left-hand. 
 
 Fenestra Steel Basement Windows 
 
 They are made from solid rolled steel sections that never 
 warp nor stick but always open and close easily. They 
 come with sash, frame, and hardware assembled and painted 
 one priming coat—ready to install. Sash are easily re- 
 moved for glazing and are interchangeable, due to accurate 
 manufacture. A wedge lock closes the window tightly and 
 the ring-and-chain feature forms a means of holding the 
 sash open, by hooking the ring over a convenient nail.

 This company manufactures Welded Solid Steel 
 Sash for installing in the basement walls of houses 
 and in the walls of garages. They also make steel 
 store front and show window sash, steel sash for 
 industrial buildings, fixed and ventilated sky-lights. 
 Advantages of Welded Solid Steel Basement Sash 
 
 With the same size wall opening, steel sash brings 
 from 60 to 80 per cent more daylight and sunlight 
 into the basement than wood sash and frame, making 
 a lighter, drier, cleaner, sweeter, more cheerful base- 
 ment. 
 
 Welded solid Steel Basement Sash cannot rot, 
 warp, stick or bind. They are positively weather- 
 tight and vermin-proof, and stay that way. This 
 means a warmer basement in cold weather and greater 
 efficiency from the heating plant. 
 
 With a minimum thickness of 14 of an inch, steel 
 sash is exceptionally strong—it cannot break. The coal 
 man cannot damage steel sash like he does wood sash

HOFFMAN CASEMENT WINDOW 
 
 Made By

 28 East Jackson Blvd., Chicago 
 
 Products: 
 
 This company manufactures the complete 
 (patented) Hardware for the installing of Case- 
 ment Windows possessing many outstanding ad- 
 vantages. The wood sash and trames can be built by any 
 planing mill, in any size and design, to meet any require- 
 ments. Full details for millwork construction, with recom- 
 mendations for sizes best adapted for various purposes will 
 be furnished by the Andrew Hoffman Mfg. Co. on request. 
 Because the millwork for Hoffman Casements is so nearly 
 “standard” the fixtures may be installed on old windows 
 with but few changes. 
 
 Showing the application of Hoffman Casement Windows in 
 modern brick dwelling 
 
 Unit System of Construction: 
 
 Window openings may be of any desired width from a 
 small, single window such as is generally used for day- 
 lighting and ventilating a clothing closet to the large open- 
 ing preferred for sleeping rooms, enclosed porches, etc. 
 The complete window may consist of any number of sash 
 from one up because Hoffman Casements are composed of 
 single and double units and used in various combinations. 
 A 3-sash window is made up of one single and one double 
 unit. A 4-sash window consists of two double units. No 
 mullions or upright posts are necessary so all sashes may 
 be folded either side of opening leaving no obstruction to 
 view or ventilation. The sash swings both ways—as de- 
 sired—an exclusive “Hoffman” feature. 
 
 Each unit is operated separately, never more than two 
 sash being hinged together. Each sash may be as large as 
 2% feet wide and 7 feet high, although such large windows 
 are seldom required and smaller sizes are recommended as 
 being more satisfactory. 
 
 Double Units: 
 
 The sashes of double units are hinged together at three 
 points of their inner frames so that they open outward 
 V-shaped, forming a brace for each other and holding 
 firmly against wind pressure. They are not fastened to 
 the jambs in any way being entirely free to be moved to 
 any part of the window opening. 
 
 The sashes are suspended at the top by rollers attached 
 to each sash at the top corner farthest from the hinges. 
 These rollers operate in a metal channel track screwed to 
 the underside of the top of window frame. At the bottom 
 of each sash, in a direct line with the top rollers, are 
 guides engaging a flanged track on the window sill, so 
 each double unit or pair of sash is held firmly at all four 
 corners and hinged together in the center. The bottom 
 guides allow a substantial amount of vertical play to allow 
 for sagging or minor variations from level, insuring easy 
 and smooth action at all times. 
 
 Single Units: 
 
 The single sash is permanently attached to one jamb and 
 cannot be moved to any place in the opening as can Hoff- 
 man Casements hung in pairs. It can be reversed suffi- 
 ciently to permit cleaning both sides from inside the room. 
 No hinges are required for single sash. With this excep- 
 tion and the addition of stay arms (see diagram on next 
 page) the fixtures are identical with those used on double 
 units. The stay arms stabilize and guide the sash during 
 operation and hold it in a position of 90 degrees or more 
 when open. Stay arms are mortised into the top and bot- 
 tom rails and side jambs and are practically invisible when 
 the window is closed. Fixtures for single sash are made 
 for right and left hand opening, so the swing of sash 
 should always be clearly specified.

 ANDREW HOFFMAN MFG. CO. 
 
 Adds to Attractiveness of Home: 
 
 Casement windows are much to be preferred 
 architecturally as they fit into and harmonize 
 much better with most building designs than the 
 ordinary type of window. Hoffman Casements have thor- 
 oughly removed the objections of leakage and incon- 
 venient operation formerly associated with casement win- 
 dows and are now being used by many of the leading 
 architects and builders for buildings of every type because 
 of their beauty and many other advantages. Upwards of 
 one hundred thousand are in successful operation. 
 
 Hoffman Casement Windows permit Unobstructed 
 View (note how windows are gathered at either 
 end of lower opening) and Controlled Ventilation. 
 
 Greater Light and Ventilating Area: 
 
 Hoffman Casements permit greater glass area in an open- 
 ing of any given size than any other form of window 
 because mullions may be omitted entirely or may be excep- 
 tionally narrow if used. This is advantageous in most 
 rooms, particularly in sun rooms, bedrooms, sleeping and 
 enclosed porches, etc. 
 
 Perfectly Controlled Ventilation: 
 
 With Hoffman Casement Windows ventilation may be had 
 in the degree wanted, without draft. When opened slightly 
 the sashes remain in contact with each other and with the 
 jambs thus forming a flue at the center through which the 
 impure air passes out at the top while fresh air comes in at the 
 bottom, without any direct draft. A breeze may be deflected 
 into or away from the 
 window opening by 
 folding the sashes to 
 one side or the other 
 of the opening. In 
 multiple sash open- 
 ings any unit may be 
 opened without dis- 
 turbing the others, 
 permitting ventila- 
 tion just where it is 
 wanted. 
 
 Easily Cleaned: 
 
 Hoffman Casements 
 are cleaned in half 
 the usual time and 
 with considerably less 
 work. Windows are 
 opened to the most 
 convenient position 
 and both sides clean- 
 ed quickly and safely 
 from the inside. Cur- 
 tains or drapes need 
 not be taken down 
 or disturbed as the 
 window sashes move 
 to any part of the 
 opening. Water can-

 Will Not Stick or Bind: 
 
 Hoffman Casements cannot warp—there is no sticking in 
 rainy or damp weather—they always open and close easily. 
 The sashes being hung from rollers at the top, and not 
 depending upon tight fitting to make them weather or 
 rattle-proof, ample allowance can be made to take care 
 of maximum swelling, assuring easy and smooth movement 
 under all conditions. In ordinary windows, to guard against 
 leakage and rattling, no space can be left for expansion— 
 when the sashes absorb moisture they swell tightly against 
 their frames and are often impossible to raise or lower. 
 
 Give Double Weather Protection: 
 
 Hoffman Casements provide double the weather protec- 
 tion of any other window. ‘The sashes enter into a pocket 
 at the jamb about like the ordinary upsliding window’ 
 except that the sash are fitted to the pocket without play- 
 room for sliding. At the sill, in place of the usual single 
 stop, there is a double weather strip past which it is impos- 
 sible for water to blow even in the most driving rain. The 
 sashes interlock at the points where they are hinged 
 together and at the top they close tightly against a stop. 
 No weather-strips of any kind are necessary. 
 
 Cannot be Opened from Outside: 
 
 Hoffman Casements can be securely locked both at top 
 and bottom by special fasteners which draw the sash per- 
 fectly tight. They cannot be opened by force from outside.

 Any kind of curtains, shades or drapes may be used as 
 they are suspended from the woodwork above the window 
 opening just as they are with the ordinary upsliding win- 
 dow. Any of the ordinary types of porch shades, venetian 
 blinds or ownings can be used, and outside shutters too,

 Hoffman Casements open like a porch—unobstructed 
 view and ventilation, 
 
 Make the Open Summer Porch 
 An All-the-Year-Round Room: 
 
 In the average home the most popular place in summer— 
 the open porch—is a total waste in winter. 
 
 Hoffman Casement Windows and a little carpenter work 
 will turn the open porch into a cosy, cheerful, weather- 
 tight, all-the-year-round sun room which is instantly con- 
 verted into the breezy, open porch, with unobstructed vision 
 by opening the sash and moving them to either end or 
 
 arranging them in any way desired because Hoffman Case- 
 
 ments can be operated or moved in pairs at will each double 
 unit being entirely independent of any of the others. 
 
 A Hoffman Casemented porch can be pleasantly and com- 
 fortably furnished because closing the sash makes the 
 former open porch as air-tight and weatherproof as any 
 room in the house. Any style of curtain, blinds, or window 
 decorations can be used. No interference with awnings or 
 screens. 
 
 Adding another living room to the house by installing 
 Hoffman Casements on the open porch is not like tearing 
 up the porch to build an ordinary sunroom. Work can be 
 done easily, quickly and economically. The details at bot- 
 tom of page show how existing plain sills, jambs and heads 
 can be converted into frames to receive Hoffman Casements

 above the window just like they are when ordinary upslid- 
 ing windows are used. Screens may be installed either in-

 Lupton Casements Help Sell the House 
 
 As steel casements are more generally used, 
 people are coming to associate them with 
 modern home comfort. The steel window house 
 bears the stamp of modern construction for all 
 to see. For this reason, wise builders know 
 
 that they increase the value and hasten the sale of their prop- 
 erties when they install Lupton Casements in houses and apart- 
 ments. ‘They realize that while the initial cost of Lupton 
 Casements is not much higher than 
 that of wood sash, the resale value 
 of a Lupton-equipped house is main- 
 tained at a considerably higher level 
 by the permanence and desirability 
 
 of its windows.

 An Economy for the Builder

 Five Standard Units 
 
 The traditional beauty of the casement window is en- 
 hanced in the 'Truscon Copper Steel Casement by the added 
 grace of its steel construction. But steel brings other ad- 
 vantages. The Truscon Casement is fireproof, permanent 
 and weathertight to wind, snow and rain. Casements open 
 outward and thus eliminate interference with drapes. They 
 afford 100% ventilation, open and close easily, do not warp 
 or stick and they are easily screened. They can be in- 
 stalled in any kind of weather by unskilled labor. And 
 their cost is virtually the same as that of wooden windows. 
 They are carefully inspected and painted with a priming 
 coat before leaving the factory. Four standard sizes make 
 them adaptable to any type of opening. Their enormous 
 demand is a tribute to Truscon manufacturing principles.

 on this basis cost 80% to 50% 
 less than wood. In making 
 comparisons remember that 
 Truscon Basement Windows 
 come complete with heavy

 windows you must add cost of 
 frame, sash, hardware, labor 
 of fitting and priming coat of

 little as wood. Truscon

 General Advantages of Win-Dor Controlled Casements 
 
 Both New-Standard Win-Dor Operators, No. 7 (above) 
 and Flush Type Win-Dor Operators No. 24-B (below) open 
 and close casements by a simple, quick and easy swing of 
 the handle to right or left. A slight downward pressure on 
 the handle releases the automatic catch and permits swing- 
 ing; when window has reached the desired position and 
 pressure on the handle is released, the catch automatically 
 locks fast and rattle proof. When not in use the remov- 
 able handle may be hung on the window frame behind the 
 curtains, as there is a hole in each handle provided for that 
 purpose. One handle to each room is generally considered 
 Sk pds No. 7 also made for permanent attachment of

 MARK 
 
 New Improvements 
 
 During the past year we have installed new equipment of the highest effici- 
 ency. This enables us to reduce the cost of operators one-third and it is now 
 possible to install them on any structure using windows. ‘These savings are made 
 yand in hand with greatly improved quality. 
 
 Types 
 
 No. 7.—Win-Dor New Standard—Wrought steel, parkerized (rust resisting) 
 lull black finish. Takes paint readily. Shipping weight per dozen, 20 lbs. 
 
 No 6.—Construction same as No. 7, but all solid brass. Dull brass or 
 bronze finish All other hardware finishes on order. Handle No, 71. Detachable 
 
 for Nos 7 and 6, or may be permanently attached if desired. 
 
 No. 24B.—Material all cast bronze and brass. Fixed right and left hands. 
 Works in 1% inch to 3 inch between screen and sash (with Fenestra and other 
 offset hinges should be not more than 2% inch). All other hardware finishes on 
 order. Shipping weight per dozen 30 Ibs. No. 241—detached handle, dull brass. 
 Handle No. 241—standard detachable for No, 24B—Cold rolled steel, plated. 
 
 Win-Dor Stays 
 
 To operate the Win- 
 Dor Stay simply lift 
 up slightly on finger 
 lift. This releases the 
 automatic cateh and 
 permits the window to 
 be swung to any de- 
 sired position without 
 using both hands. 
 There it is held firm 
 by the catch, which op- 
 erates automatically 
 when the finger lift is 
 released. 
 
 The Win-Dor Stay is 
 not a substitute for op- 
 erators but is the most 
 effective equipment 
 wherethe use of 
 screens is not impera- 
 tive, or where first cost 
 may dictate the sim- 
 pest fixtures, with pro- 
 yison for subsequent 
 change to operators. 
 
 Advantages: Positive 
 locking. Requires no ’ 
 adjustment either when 
 installed or later. No danger of sash blowing about as when friction fails. 
 Eliminates strain on hinges. Easier to operate—no resistance to pull or push 
 against, and saves reaching out to fastener handle. 
 
 No. 9!—Win-Dor Auto-Stay—steel and iron, parkerized or sherardized. 
 
 No. 92—Construction same as No. 91, but all solid brass. Dull brass or 
 bronze finish. All other finishes on order. Assembled right and left hands, but 
 may be reversed when necessary. Shipping weight, per dozen, 12 lbs.

 Furnished in Complete Sets 
 
 This hardware is furnished in complete sets for series of 
 sash from 2-10 in an opening. In the larger sized openings, 
 where four or more sash are used, it is generally advisable 
 to slide the sash to both sides of the opening. 
 
 For instance in a ten sash installation five of the sash 
 will fold back to each side of the opening. The maximum 
 width of a ten sash opening is 16’6” wide.

Whitco Hardware for Casement Sash and Transoms 
 
 Made by

 WHITCO—“The Easy Hard- 
 ware” 
 
 Whitco is a simple, self-con- 
 tained unit that takes the 
 place of both butts and adjust- 
 ers for swinging and controll- 
 ing casement and transoms. 
 
 It makes such effective use 
 of the principles of leverage 
 and friction that it not only assures a per- 
 fectly operating sash at all times, but it 
 holds the sash in any position, in any wind 
 without rattle. 
 
 Brass and Rust-Proofed Steel 
 
 Whitco is made in solid brass and in 
 rust-proofed steel, thus giving a selection 
 to meet climatic condi- 
 tions as they may exist 
 in various parts of the 
 country. 
 
 SILL PLATE 
 
 Meets Any Installation 
 This hardware is easily 
 and quickly apphed to 
 single sash, pairs of sash 
 or to multiple sash in wide 
 openings without mullions. 
 It may be used on either 
 old or new sash, to swing the

 WESTERN OFFICES:

 Any number of sash may be installed ina 
 wide opening without mullions. 
 
 One Size Fits All Sash 
 
 One size fits all casements up to 
 30 in. in width, or all transoms up 
 to 20 in. in height. For transoms cf 
 greater height Whitco may be ob- 
 tained in special sizes. 
 
 A set, the equipment for one ease- 
 ment sash or transom, consists of two 
 pieces, one for the top and one for 
 the bottom of the casement, or one 
 for each side of the transom. These 
 pieces are identical except that one is 
 the reverse of the other. 
 
 SLIDING SHOE 
 
 No Lefts or Rights 
 
 There are no “‘lefts’’ or ‘‘rights’’. 
 Whether the sash is to swing to the 
 left or to the right determines which piece goes at 
 the top and which piece goes at the bottom. 
 
 No Special Sash or Frame Detail 
 
 With the exception of the seldom-used ‘‘in-swing- 
 ing’’ sash, no special sash or frame detail is required. 
 The only fitting needed is a small housing at the top 
 and bottom of each sash, which a carpenter can make 
 with a chisel (see next page); otherwise a screw- 
 driver is the only tool he 
 uses in making an installa- 
 tion. 
 
 No Special Hardware Finishes 
 
 The fact that Whiteo, when 
 installed, is entirely, con- 
 cealed, obviates the need of 
 considering hardware fin- 
 ishes. In fact, the only spe- 
 cification a dealer needs is 
 Whitco-equipped transom swing- the number of sash for any 
 Serews are furnished 
 with the hardware.

 Easy to Install. 
 
 Whiteo Hardware is simple and inexpensive 
 to install. The average carpenter should be able 
 to fit a casement sash or transom to an open- 
 ing, equip it with Whitco and install it com- 
 plete and in proper working order in less than 
 thirty minutes, 
 
 The little ‘‘movie’’ shows each step, and 
 the directions packed with each set of hard- 
 ware give all the information needed for any 
 installation of an out-swinging casement. 
 
 In-Swinging Casements. 
 
 Whitco, on out-swinging casements, requires 
 no special detail. For in-swinging casements, 
 where a weather-tight result is desired, a special 
 detail is required at the sill. The accompany- 
 ing sketch is a practical suggestion as to how 
 this may be taken care of. 
 
 Screens.

 In the case of single sash and

 hinge the screens to swing in, 
 either at the top or side, or to 
 provide for vertically double 
 sliding screens. With multiple

 General Advantages. 
 
 The fact that a sash, Whitco equipped, when opened, leaves 
 the jamb for a distance of 5 inches, makes it easy and safe to 
 
 clean the outside of the window within the room. 
 
 This also affords much more perfect ventilation.

 The sash plate, extending across the joint 
 between the stile and the rail of the sash, re- 
 inforces the sash at its weakest point and 
 prevents sag. 
 
 All screws used in installng WHITCO to 
 casement or transom are set in at right angles 
 to the line of strain, instead of in line with it, 
 thus making a stronger and more dependable 
 installation. 
 
 The relation between the leverage and the 
 friction of Whiteco Hardware is such that a 
 slight foree appled to the edge of the sash 
 farthest away from the jamb causes the sash 
 
 - to open and close easily, yet, when the force 
 
 is distributed, as when the wind blows against 
 the entire surface of an open sash, the sash 
 is not moved: 
 
 Whitco Sash Operators. 
 
 The Whitco Operator, for opening and clos- 
 ing the sash without moving the screen, is 
 made of solid brass, and is so fashioned that it 
 swings back along the interior frame of the 
 window when the sash is closed, and is prac- 
 tically concealed by the screen frame when the 
 sash is open. 
 
 An aperture about the thick- 
 ness of a saw cut, at the bottom 
 
 of the screen, is all the provision 
 that has to be made for the op= 
 
 i 
 
 it erator. A fabric strip for cov- 
 {\ ering this aperture is_ pro- 
 vided with each operator. (See 
 
 illustration for details.) = 
 
 Whitco Sash Fasteners. 
 
 This simple locking device is 
 designed to set into the jamb 
 about midway up the sash so 
 as to exert an evenly distrib- 
 uted pull. The lock is oper- 
 
 ated by means of a lever, mounted on the window frame, 
 
 and working through a shaft extending into and engaging 
 the lock. The sash may be locked and unlocked without mov- 
 
 ing the screen.

 and great care in construction result in a somewhat higher

 in the first place, particularly as the difference in cost between 
 the best and the cheapest will amount to only a small sum for 
 each window.

 | NS for Wilkins Casement Adjusters to replace cheaper devices 
 
 is easy to apply to any window, that is sim-

 in any position, is neat in appearance, everlasting in 
 wear, and (most important of all) that operates on 
 screened windows without requiring the screen to 
 be opened whenever it is desired to open or close the 
 easement. All of these advantages are possessed by 
 the Wilkins Casement Adjuster to a greater extent 
 than-by other devices for the same purpose. 
 
 How Attached 
 
 The Wilkins Casement Adjuster can be attached to any 
 window, wood or metal, new or old, and easily. The Adjuster 
 is self-contained, there being no loose parts to be lost. Simply 
 secure the base block firmly on the window sill with two large 
 screws and the guide tube to the sash with four small screws 
 and the job is done. 
 
 Simple in Operation 
 
 When the handle of the Adjuster is in the horizontal posi- 
 tion shown in illustration the Casement is locked, whether 
 open or closed, or at any intermediate angle. To release the 
 locking mechanism it is merely necessary to raise handle and 
 the Adjuster may then be operated to open or close casement 
 by moving handle to the right or left. On releasing handle 
 it falls again to the horizontal position and locks casement. 
 
 Everlasting in Wear 
 
 All parts of the Wilkins Casement Adjuster subject to wear 
 (such as the locking mechanism) are made of case hardened 
 steel. The exposed portions are fabricated of the best 
 manganese bronze which is not only strong and proof against 
 corrosion, but the finishes are extremely impressive in appear- 
 ance, and none of the moving parts can in any way mar or 
 
 esis Be [tal ol aE | 
 
 For kitchen and attic casements, sleeping porch windows, 
 
 and for modest homes not requiring as fine a Casement Ad- 
 juster as the Wilkins, we make a cheaper adjuster of malle- 
 able iron. This is known as the Security Casement Adjuster. 
 While not the equal of the Wilkins, we can truthfully say of 
 the Security that it is superior in design and construction to 
 any other adjuster selling at an equally low price. 
 
 Styles, Sizes and Finishes . 
 
 The Wilkins Casement Adjusters are furnished in both right 
 hand and left hand, and styles for wide or narrow sills in 
 any desired finish and for any size of casement. Standard 
 sizes are designed for sash not less than 12 inches wide nor 
 more than 36 inches. The Security is made both right and 
 left hand, in many finishes and in one size only, suitable for 
 sash 15 to 36 inches wide. Full particulars with detail draw- 
 ings and prices will be furnished promptly on request.

Knape & Vogt Modern Clothes Closet Fixtures 
 
 Made By 
 KNAPE & VOGT MFG. COMPANY 
 
 GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN 
 
 Product 
 
 This company manufactures Extension Carriers for 
 Clothes Closets which permit the neat hanging and storage 
 of garments, making any individual garment instantly and 
 
 conveniently available without disturbing other garments. 
 
 Where Used 
 
 Knape & Vogt Clothes Closet Fixtures are being 
 extensively used in private residences and apartment 
 houses, clubs, hotels, lodges, schools, offices, factories, stores, 
 and in locker and cloak rooms of all kinds. 
 
 Knape & Vogt Clothes Closet Fixtures. 
 from 12 to 60 inches long when closed. 
 
 travels back and forth are built of full nickeled steel. The 
 carrier rod operates smoothly and noiselessly, without fric- 
 tion, on roller bearings. It can be pulled out or pushed 
 back into place with a mere touch of a finger. The neces- 
 sary screws and brackets for installing are furnished. 
 
 Sizes 
 
 They are made in sizes to suit any depth of closet. Stock 
 sizes, in multiples of two inches can be had from 12 to 60 
 long, when in closed position. Special lengths can be made 
 to order. 
 
 Made in multiples of 2 inches 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Because the fixtures double closet capacity, closets can 
 be built smaller—thus adding additional space to rooms 
 without reducing the garment hanging space in closets. 
 As the fixtures slide in and out of the closet a whole 
 wardrobe can be instantly brought out into the light of 
 a room, permitting easy examination or the selection of any 
 individual garment without disturbing other garments. The 
 method of hanging prevents crowding, wrinkling, sagging, 
 tearing or soiling of garments. Builders and Realtors find 
 that Knape & Vogt equipped closets add a strong sales 
 argument for both new and old homes.

 Uses 
 
 The Receivador is used in the service entrance doors oF 
 walls of residences. In the corridor door or walls of apart- 
 ments, clubs, ete. It is being specified by architects and 
 builders for all classes of residential buildings. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Provides a eonvenient and safe receptacle for the delivery 
 of everything coming into the home from department stores, 
 butcher, grocer, bakery, etc. 
 
 The morning milk and cream is safe from animals and 
 theft. The Receivador being insulated keeps the milk from 
 freezing in winter or souring in summer, during the period 
 of time between delivery and when it is removed from the 
 Receivador. 
 
 Affords a safe and weatherproof depository for the daily 
 papers, and for packages and commodities of all kinds deliv- 
 ered during the absence from home or when it is not con- 
 venient to go to the door. 
 
 Keeps delivery boys.off clean kitchen floors. 
 
 Construction 
 
 The Receivador is durably constructed of sheet steel and 
 possesses great strength and rigidity. No screws or bolts are ee by 
 used in its assembly, all parts being electrically welded. The Receivador Junior, Style No. 21 
 doors are built up of two sheets of steel with a sheet of 
 insulating material between, and electrically welded. This ot at 
 insulation is effective against extreme heat and cold. This is designed especially for receiving milk 
 
 and small packages. It is of the same welded 
 construction and material as the standard type

 Operation 
 
 In making a delivery the package is placed 
 in the Receivador and the thumb bolt turned 
 thus automatically engaging the interlocking 
 device and preventing the outside or delivery 
 door from being opened until the package is 
 removed from the inside or receiving door. 
 
 When the inside (receiving) door is closed 
 and the thumb bolt turned, the lock on out- 
 side (delivery) door is released permitting 
 the door to be opened. The design of this 
 lock makes its action unfailing and reliable. 
 The installation of a Receivador in an en- 
 trance door, does not interfere in any way 
 with the normal operation of the door. 
 
 Sizes and Dimensions 
 
 The standard Receivador has two compart- 
 ments, but a single compartment can be 
 furnished when desired. To meet special re- 
 quirements the number of compartments may 
 be increased and they can be a:ianged either 
 horizontally or vertically. “ables of di- 
 mensions for single and double compartment

 and Hospital Doors. 
 
 Quality and Prices 
 Standard for 50 years, and kept up-to-date retaining 
 superiority over all others. 
 Prices are guaranteed to be no higher than those for

 Bommer Standard Spring Butt Hinges 
 
 Bommer Standard spring butt hinges require a hanging 
 strip for fastening them to the door casing. One flange is 
 mortised into the hanging strip and the other into the 
 door, which gives a uniform appearance and secure fastening. 
 
 They are made of wrought steel, bronze and brass, in 
 all finishes. The bearing surfaces are of different hardness 
 in order to reduce friction. The spring barrels and their 
 connecting plate are integral and exceptionally strong and 
 of uniform thickness. The springs are of large diameter 
 and unusual length, made of the best oil tempered steel 
 wire, have great resilience and power and never go lame. 
 The pintle and flange are interlocked, preventing the ball 
 tips from working loose.

 Products 
 
 This company makes a complete line of Garage 
 (or Barn) Door Equipment for swinging and sliding 
 doors. Among unusual devices manufactured by this 
 company are hardware for vertically shding doors, 
 and an electrically operated garage door control 
 enabling the doors to be opened or closed from a dis- 
 tance by merely pushing a button. 
 
 Various Arrangements of Doors 
 
 Where an opening is closed by two doors the sim- 
 plest arrangement is as illustrated at the right—two 
 Swinging doors which may open either outward or 
 inward. 
 
 With three, four, five and six doors some form of 
 sliding, or folding-sliding, doors are required. 
 
 The possible arrangements increase with the num- 
 ber of doors, but for each opening there is one best 
 arrangement of doors. We have made a careful study 
 of all possible arrangements and will be glad to sug- 
 gest the best arrangement for any given condition. 
 We have designed hangers and tracks suitable for all 
 conditions. These are illustrated and described in 
 our catalog, No. 91, a copy of which we will be glad 
 to mail you on request. 
 
 Three Styles of Track 
 
 Local conditions and cost considerations will determine the 
 style of track to be used with any sliding, or folding-sliding, 
 door installation. When the track is installed outside the 
 building, exposed to the weather, some form of Watershed 
 Track is generally required since in this form the hangers and 
 the track on which they run are protected from rain, snow and 
 ice. Watershed types of track are not shown here, but are 
 completely described and illustrated in Catalog No, 91. For

 inside installations a Trolley Track with roller-bearing wheels 
 and ball-bearing swivels is the ideal installation, friction being 
 reduced to the minimum, and the doors opening and closing 
 noiselessly and with little effort. 
 
 Next to the Trolley the best form of track is the Tubular (or 
 Round) Track, which costs somewhat less than a Trolley Track 
 installation. 
 
 When lowest possible price is the first consideration the Flat 
 Track should be used, as this is the cheapest to buy and the 
 easiest to install. 
 
 Equipments at All Prices 
 
 Irrespective of price, all Allith-Prouty Garage Door Equip- 
 ments are thoroughly reliable and are the result of the best 
 engineering knowledge and manufacturing skill. The differences 
 in price are largely due to the materials used—steel or Certi- 
 fied Malleable—and to whether the hanger wheels are merely 
 cast, or machine finished; roller-bearing, or plain bearing. We 
 can give you an equipment at any price you want to pay and 
 whether you buy the cheapest or the best you get good value 
 for your money.

 Where the distance, between edge of jamb and side wall, is 
 less than 30 inches you will have to use three doors in the 
 opening, installed as shown in above plan. With this ar- 
 rangement you then have an easy operating set of hardware 
 as well as the convenience of a passage door. 
 
 When a two-door installation is insisted on, do not attempt 
 to use curves unless there is 30 inches of space to the side 
 wall, but use instead the right angle arrangement shown in 
 next column,

 Fig. 1 Fig 2 
 
 Fig. 1 represents a small garage which is commonly used. 
 The opening is usually the width of the front wall. This cut 
 shows two doors in the opening, but one door will operate 
 just as satisfactorily. Two doors should be used where the car 
 is nearly the length of the garage as a single door will take 
 up more space in going across the corner. A _ single door 
 requires two runs of track while two doors need three runs of 
 track, one across the front and two shorter lengths at the sides. 
 
 Fig. 2. represents a condition where the space from the side 
 walls to the jambs is less than two feet. The same amount 
 of material is required as in Fig. 1, only the two side tracks 
 are placed at an angle. A 2x6 in. timber placed 4 in. from 
 the jamb and attached to the side wall makes a practical track 
 support.

 Fig. 3 has an opening at one side with a right angle door 
 and one sliding door. This arrangement of the tracks and 
 hangers is the same as described in Fig. 1, with the exception 
 that one door runs parallel with the front wall.

 Advantages 
 
 Ly 
 
 There is no better way of closing 
 the entrance to a garage than with 
 folding—sliding doors because this 
 method combines the easy operation of 
 sliding doors along with the tight clos- 
 ing feature of folding doors. This 
 method is much to be preferred to the 
 old double swinging doors or to sliding 
 doors which are not weather-tight. 
 Doors mounted with Cannon Ball fix- 
 tures will not sag, will open half way 
 or all the way and will stay open. 
 They will not blow in the wind.

 Description 
 Cannon Ball track is made by pressing a steel 
 sheet into nearly a complete circle 2%” in 
 
 diameter. The hangers consist of two rollers or 
 wheels that are roller bearing, whose face is made 
 to conform to the inside of the track. They are 
 connected in tandem and the door is fastened to 
 the bracket that hangs from the roller frame 
 through the slot in the track. Brackets to sup- 
 port the track as illustrated below provide for 
 any sort of installation. 
 
 Features 
 
 Cannon Ball track is dirt proof because the only 
 place for dirt to get in is at the lowest point of 
 the circle where it tends to fall out rather than 
 accumulate. The ends of the track are closed. 
 It comes in convenient lengths so any run may be 
 had in even feet without cutting. 
 
 Uses 
 
 Cannon Ball Track and Hangers are used to 
 hang doors on any opening, such as in garages, 
 barns, or factories, that do not weigh over 400 lbs. 
 
 The roller bearing feature makes them easy 
 running and they always remain that way.

 “Slidetite” outfits are made in two styles—No. 435 and No. 
 1035; the designating numbers referring to the style number 
 of hinge used, the No. 435 hinge being a half surface hinge 
 or butt while No. 1035 is an offset strap hinge. 
 
 No. 435 hardware for light doors is furnished with 2 
 half-surface hinge which throws 2 doors on each side of 
 the opening clear of the jamb. Heavier No. 435 Hardware 
 is furnished with butts which cause the doors, when stand- 
 ing at right angles to the opening, to project into the open- 
 ing. With the No. 1035 hinge, the doors swing clear of the

 Floor plans showing various positions of 
 doors. (1) doors closed, (2) doors partly 
 open, (3) doors opened at right angles to 
 front wall, (4) doors open parallel with front 
 walls, giving clearance from jamb to jamb. 
 
 Thickness of Doors 
 
 For private garages, doors 134” thick should give satis- 
 factory service. For public garage doors, subject to hard 
 usage, doors 214” thick should be used. Hardware is made 
 to handle doors up to 24%” thick. 
 
 Equipment 
 
 All necessary hardware is furnished with each “Slidetite” 
 outfit, including: track, hangers, brackets, hinges, bow 
 handles, top and bottom bolts and all screws and bolts 
 necessary to erect. Lock for entrance door not furnished 
 with sets, but should be specified separately. 
 
 Intermediate and end brackets are adjustable. Hangers 
 have metal wheels, vertical adjustment and ball-bearing 
 swivel pendants. 
 
 No. 517 or 617 top and bottom Cremone bolts are required 
 to lock the doors in place. Floor guides are furnished where 
 necessary and two bumper shoes are attached to lower 
 corner of door to prevent chafing by guide. 
 
 Locking 
 
 If no separate entrance door is available (1) hang the 
 doors so one door near the center of the opening will be 
 hinged free to serve as passage door, or (2) specify No. 
 1125 outside lock with No. 617 Cremone bolt inside. 
 
 Special Features 
 
 In the winter time when snow and ice is liable to pile 
 up against the outside of the garage doors, it is unnecessary 
 to dig your way into the garage, as Slidetite doors open 
 inside. The hinges used at the jamb are provided with an 
 offset which throws the doors in back of the jamb and 
 give a clear opening from jamb to jamb. 
 Service 
 
 If you have any special problems in regard to hanging 
 garage doors, R-W engineers will be glad to suggest to you 
 the proper equipment to handle any doors.

 For three doors hinged together. The 
 door nearest the side of the building toward 
 which the doors slide when opening is used 
 as an entrance door. The doors may be 
 mounted to slide to the right or to slide to 
 the left. The hardware is reversible and 
 can be used in any opening regardless of the 
 distance from the jamb to the side wall. 
 
 Special Features 
 
 The entrance door swings free and is folded back 
 before the doors are operated around the curved sec- 
 tion of the track. In this way, but little space is re- 
 quired between the doorway and the back end of the car 
 when it stands in the garage. When in open position, 
 the doors lie flat against the side wall of the garage. 
 If a two car garage is being built set, 235-KK 6 door 
 hardware should be specified. This would mean that 
 three of the doors would slide to each side wall when 
 in open position.

 tained in our special catalog “Distinctive Garage Door 
 Equipment,” copy of which will be sent upon request. 
 
 R-W Vanishing House Door Hardware 
 
 The above illustration shows vanishing doors which 
 operate upon R-W hangers and track. The utility and 
 ornamental possibilities of having these doors vanish 
 into the wall instead of swinging into the room are 
 obvious. The doors interfere in no way with draperies, 
 furniture, or fixtures of the home. 
 
 The wide opening between two rooms, which can be 
 completely closed when desired, gives an effect of 
 spaciousness which is most pleasing. 
 
 The use of vanishing doors is now becoming more 
 general than ever before. Space is one of the most 
 desired features in the bungalow, apartment or house 
 and architects are taking advantage of the space saving 
 features, which vanishing doors permit, and are specify- 
 ing them in their plans. 
 
 Space Saving Feature 
 
 The plan to the left 
 shows three swinging doors, 
 two of which open toward 
 each other. These could 
 be improved by the instal- 
 lation of vanishing doors, 
 as illustrated below. 
 
 The occupants of thous- 
 ands of apartments, parti- 
 eularly in our larger cities, 
 where space is at a pre- 
 mium, have found it neces- 
 sary to substitute hanging — 
 drapes in places like this, 
 where closet doors interfere 
 with access to the closet.

Folding-Sliding Garage Door Equipment 
 
 SHARON HARDWARE MANUFACTURING CO. 
 SHARON, PENN. 
 
 The Sharon No. 9 Garage and Barn Door Equipments 
 illustrated on this page are fully protected by patents 
 allowed and pending, all patents covering this equipment 
 being either owned, or controlled, by the Sharon Hardware 
 Mfg. Co. 
 
 Distinctive Features 
 
 The five outstanding features of the Sharon Method o£ 
 hanging garage and barn doors are: ; 
 No.1. A Double Swivel Hanger which permits a pair of 
 
 doors hinged together and to one jamb to be sup- 
 ported by said hanger in such a manner that the doors 
 will fold back parallel with the opening, giving full 
 use of the entrance. 
 
 No. 2. Sharon No. 9 Garage Door Hanger is so constructed 
 that it eliminates the necessity of built-out track 
 arrangements—the track being applied directly to 
 the building. 
 
 No. 3. The Hanger in closing the doors operates back of 
 the edge of the door to which it is attached, making 
 
 TWO DOOR EQUIPMENT it convenient to use “2 pairs of doors” hinged to- 
 Sharon No. 9 Garage or Barn Door Hanger gether and supported by Sharon No. 9 Garage Door 
 PATENTED Hanger in one opening, giving full width of the 
 
 opening without the necessity of a center post. 
 
 No. 4. In applying the track directly to the building, it 
 permits the use of standard Trolley Track and 
 Brackets, eliminating the necessity of carrying special 
 length brackets for individual jobs or the figuring of 
 the angle at which the doors will work to best 
 advantage. 
 
 No.5. The Hanger wheels are solid steel, lathe turned, 
 running on an axle surrounded by case hardened 
 roller bearings well greased. The swivel runs on 
 ¥%” ball bearings, 
 
 There is an adjustment on the hanger which will allow 
 the adjustment of the doors to take care of approximately 
 1%” sag. <A special hook type bolt which governs the 
 swing of the doors enables the hanger to be used either 
 as a right or left hanger by moving the hook of the bolt 
 from one side to the other of the arm. This bolt is also 
 a connecting link between the arm which takes care of the 
 thickness of the doors and the drop strap which supports 
 
 them. 
 Track 
 THREE DOOR EQUIPMENT The track required is equal to the width of the 2 doors 
 Sharon No. 9 Garage or Barn Door Hanger to which the hanger is attached, that is, on a 2 door 
 PATENTED opening an 8’ opening would require 8 feet of track, and 
 
 on a 3 door opening where the hanger is attached to the 
 pair of doors and a single entrance door to the opposite 
 jamb the length of track required is equal to the width 
 of that pair of doors, that is, a 9’ opening with 3 doors 
 would require 6 feet of track. Standard Trolley Track is 
 used with this equipment. 
 
 Brackets 
 
 The bracket is exactly the same as used to support any 
 trolley track on a Straight runway. 
 
 Special Points 
 
 No.1. Folds doors right or left—the same Hanger does 
 either. 
 
 No. 2. No built-out arrangement or special bracket—stand- 
 ard Trolley Track and Brackets are used. 
 
 No. No angles to figure for individual jobs. 
 
 No. Folds doors back parallel with the opening—do not 
 
 eontfuse this with a right angle.

Automatic Electric Doors for the Private Residence Garage 
 
 Manufactured by 
 
 ELECTRIC DOOR CORPORATION 
 ITHACA, N. Y. 
 
 Product 
 
 Electric Mechanism for Opening and Closing Garage 
 Doors without getting out of the car. 
 
 Special Utility to Builders 
 
 Builders find that new homes equipped 
 with Electric Doors quickly attract pros- 
 pective buyers. They drive up, the 
 farage doors swing open, and they are 
 immediately impressed with the fact that 
 here is a really modern home. They are 
 delighted to find this electric servant will 
 work for them for life at wages of 2 cents 
 per month. 
 
 As day after day the Electric Door per- 
 forms its service it soon becomes one of 
 the most appreciated features in a modern 
 residence. Men like the promptness and 
 efficiency of its service. Women save 
 their clothes in bad weather, never have 
 to struggle with the doors, and particu- 
 larly enjoy it when they have a guest. 
 The garage looks better when its doors 
 are not left gaping open. It permits 
 adequate heating in winter. The Electric 
 Door marks a modern home, 
 
 What It Is, and Does 
 
 The Electric Door opens or closes by the pressure of 
 a car wheel on a ground plate switch in the driveway, or 
 by a hand. push button, if desired, mounted on a post at 
 the side of the drive. A push button switch is also located 
 in the garage to open or close the doors when the car is 
 inside. If there is no side door for entrance and exit this 
 Switch is located outside on the wall of the garage. The 
 Electric Door is particularly designed for the residence 
 garage, but can be applied to the public garage or to 
 industrial doors. 
 
 It is extremely simple, rugged, and foolproof, and is 
 powerful enough to hold swinging doors in any wind or 
 sweep back any ordinary snowfall. It operates in any 
 weather, permits adequate heating of the garage, and can 
 be operated from inside a closed car without opening the 
 window. It never requires any lubrication, in fact it must 
 not be oiled. The ground plate is not affected by rain, 
 mud, ice, or snow; is self-draining and self-cleaning. The 
 switch mechanism is rustproof and waterproof. 
 
 Standard Type 
 
 The standard installation is for outwardly swinging 
 doors, as this type, being the simplest mechanically, has 
 been found to be the most reliable. The ordinary disad- 
 vantages of the swinging door are overcome by the electric 
 mechanism which holds them positively, and this type of 
 door has no track wheels to bind and gives more room in 
 the garage. It can also be used on doors swinging inward 
 by being placed outside on projecting timbers under a small 
 roof. An are of 105° to 110° should be allowed for the 
 Swing of the doors as it is best to have them go beyond 
 the perpendicular when fully opened. 
 
 Locking 
 
 No locks, bolts, or similar hardware of any kind should 
 be placed on the doors. If a positive lock is desired an 
 ordinary push button switch may be placed conveniently 
 in any part of the house, which will cut off the garage 
 circuit and leave the mechanism dead. If it is especially 
 desired to lock the doors while the owner is out with 
 the car, the hand push button on a post or wall should 
 be installed instead of the ground plate type, and a key 
 lock switch used. The ground plate type with inside lock- 
 ing is generally preferred. 
 
 Installation 
 
 Installation is simple and the average should not cost 
 more than $15.00 to $25.00. Where a concrete drive is to be 
 laid a hole should be left for the ground 
 plate, the dimensions of which are 18%x16 
 in. The long dimension should be across 
 the driveway. It is generally more con- 
 venient to place the ground plate on the 
 left-hand side of the driveway looking 
 toward the garage so that the driver can 
 see it as he drives in. It should be at 
 least 20 ft., preferably 30 ft., from the 
 doors. If the length of the drive-way 
 will not permit this, the hand push button 
 switches should be located so that the 
 driver can see the doors while operating 
 them. 
 
 The weight of the doors does not matter 
 as the mechanism will operate anything 
 that can be swung by hand, but they 
 should be properly hung so that they 
 will swing and close easily. Doors should 
 be cut off 1 in. clear at bottom to allow 
 for our special copper weatherstrip. This 
 takes care of any sagging of the doors 
 and jamming because of ice, frozen mud, 
 or stones. Door jamb strips back of the 
 doors should be omitted as they serve no purpose and tend 
 to chew the doors when the doors warp. On new construc- 
 tion it is desirable to have a short concrete ramp from sill 
 to driveway about 18 in. to 2 ft. in length with a slope of 
 201n. ecOmelad t. E . 
 
 The mechanism itself, including a % hp. motor, is all 
 assembled before being shipped and should be placed and 
 supported as shown in diagram, between two 2x4’s 20 in. 
 apart. Weight of mechanism inside garage is about 70 Ibs. 
 
 Hinges used as sockets for the arms permit attaching 
 the arms at various levels and should be bolted through 
 the doors, not just put on with screws. The mechanism 
 can be disconnected from the doors by merely lifting the 
 arms from the sockets. 
 
 _ No special power circuit required; operates from any 
 lighting circuit, 110 volts a-c. or d-c., any cycle. Other 
 voltage $10.00 extra. 
 
 Full directions for installing sent with each shipment.

 Electric Door operating mechanism complete, including 
 switches, fuse box, weatherstrips, all hardware, with 40 ft. 
 of lead armored cable and ground plate control, $125.00;

QUICKLOCK—The Simple, Safe, Satisfactory Garage Lock 
 
 Made By 
 CLOSES LURIE PRODUCTS OPENS 
 AUTOMATICALLY 3218 Montrose Ave., Chicago WITH A KEY 
 
 Product 
 
 A new type of Garage Lock, particularly 
 adapted for swinging doors, that can be in- 
 stalled in a few minutes, and that opens with 
 a key from the outside, and locks automatic- 
 ally by simply closing doors from outside. 
 
 Construction 
 
 Quicklock is sturdily built of the best ma- 
 terials and is mechanically perfect. There 
 are only a few, simple parts and nothing 
 complicated to get out of order. It always 
 works, 
 
 Operation 
 
 When key is inserted in lock from outside 
 and given a right turn there is an upward 
 movement of the entire assembly of tie rods 
 and connecting plate which releases the pawls 
 or gripper teeth at top and bottom and the 
 doors are unlocked. 
 
 When doors are closed tightly the zripper 
 teeth, coming in contact with U-bracket at 
 top and floor plate at bottom, raise just 
 enough to ride over them and fall by gravity 
 into locked position. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Locks doors automatically top and bottom 
 by simply pushing doors shut from outside. 
 
 Unlocks doors instantly from outside by 
 a simple turn of the key. Maintains its lock- 
 ing position by gravity—cannot be opened 
 from outside except with proper key. 
 
 Eliminates chain or rod pull bolts at top 
 $ ( and foot push bolts at bottom of doors. 
 Baty the y : : Draws doors tightly together when locked 
 
 PATD APR. 211925 : - and makes them close snugly. 
 
 The flexible floor plate permits of closing 
 and locking doors even when jammed with 
 snow. ice or mud. 
 
 Eliminates the small side entrance door in 
 garages, thus allowing more inside wall or 
 window space, or storage space. and saving 
 on cost of construction. 
 
 Permits taking car out of garage or lock- 
 ing it up in one-third the usual time when in 
 a hurry, because one simple turn of Key 
 unlocks door and pushing them closed auto- 
 matically locks them. 
 
 Discourages the practice of leaving ga- 
 rage doors open, or closing them without 
 locking securely, when in a hurry, and per- 
 haps suffering a loss of tools. tires, or other 
 accessories kept in the garare 
 
 Easily and quickly installed hv anyone— 
 does not require locksmith or mechanic to 
 put together, 
 
 The Useless Side Door 
 
 Most garage are built with a small en- 
 trance door in the side wall or in front along- 
 side the car entrance doors, and sometimes 
 placed in the large door itself, the principal 
 use of this door being to afford an entrance 
 so that the big door can be opened or closed 
 from the inside. 
 
 This is usually accomplished through the 
 use of bolts at the top and bottom of doors, 
 or a crossbar or rod across the inside of the 
 big doors. 
 
 Where QUICKLOCK is used the small door 
 is no longer necessary and is becoming obso- 
 lete because the only real reason for its 
 existence has gone, 
 
 Where to Buy 
 
 Quicklock is patented and is on sale in 
 hardware stores.

 383 Brannan St, 
 
 No. 3833 Star Litter Carrier 
 
 No. 333 Star Litter Carrier runs on a 
 rigid rail hung overhead in the barn. 
 Outside, the track is hung from a 
 Swinging boom often as long as 40 
 feet. That gives a wide dumping 
 radius. There is a raising and lower- 
 ing device on the carrier so the tub 
 can be lowered for filling. It is dumped 
 by pulling a trip chain. Roller bear- 
 ings throughout. 
 
 No. 405 Star Litter Carrier runs on a 
 rod or steel cable track both inside 
 and outside the barn. It dumps auto- 
 matically outside wherever the trip 
 _block is set on the track, and a spring 
 bumper chain automatically returns 
 the empty carrier to the barn. This 
 earrier has no hoisting attachment. 
 Equipped with roller bearings. 
 
 No. 592 Star Litter Carrier is a com- 
 bination of the first two in that it runs 
 on a rod track outside giving it the

 Products 
 
 We manufacture a full line of litter and feed carriers along with all the 
 attachments to make a complete job. Three of the most popular models are 
 shown and described. Each has its place depending on the particular require- 
 ments of each purchaser. For Garage Hardware see pages 264-65. 
 
 Uses 
 
 As the name indicates, STAR Litter Carriers are used to remove the daily 
 accumulation of litter in the barn. They run on an overhead track so that 
 the same load is propelled with much less effort than by any other means such 
 as a wheelbarrow or truck. The track runs between the rows of stalls; the 
 litter is loaded into the tub from either side and the carrier is pushed out to 
 the dump pile. Some of the carriers dump and return to the barn automatically. 
 The tubs can be detached and tubs to carry feed may be substituted; or 
 carriers designed for feed only may be had. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 STAR Litter Carriers make easy the most tedious and unpleasant job around 
 the barn. They help to keep the barn clean at much less cost for labor. They 
 are inexpensive, easy to operate for they are equipped with roller bearings, 
 and last a lifetime. 
 Engineering Service : 
 
 We have prepared a book of plans for barns of every description giving 
 many detailed helps to the contractor and owner. This is free for the asking. 
 Our Engineering Department is prepared to make special barn plans and to 
 work out and furnish blue prints for 
 any installation of litter or feed 
 carriers that may be desired. These 
 carriers can be installed in old barns 
 as well as in new. We urge you to 
 write us for a catalog describing this 
 equipment,

 STAR STEEL STALL 
 
 Unit System Is An Exclusive Feature 
 
 STAR Stalls are built individually. Each 
 stall is a separate unit and connects with 
 the next on either side. You can install as 
 many as you heed and you can always add 
 more. This STAR feature saves much in 
 installation expense. The Stalls go into the 
 barn just as they leave the factory. 
 
 Star Stall Arch 
 
 Made of one continuous piece of steel pipe. 
 Only the highest grade, full weight, butt 
 welted steam pipe is used. Each piece tested. 
 
 Star One-Hand Lock 
 
 Four big advantages. The STAR Stanchion 
 is easily opened with one hand. The fork 
 or crotch device on the lock straddles the 
 side of the stall arch holding the stanchion 
 in place. The guide of the One-Hand Lock 
 removes all strain on the hinge. The double 
 latch makes it absolutely cowproof. 
 
 Star Stanchion Adjustments 
 You can adjust the width of a STAR 
 Stanchion instantly from 5 to 9 inches.

SAMSON SPOT SASH CORD 
 
 Made by 
 
 SAMSON CORDAGE WORKS 
 88 Broad St., Boston, Mass. 
 
 Products: 
 
 The Samson Cordage Works manufactures Braided 
 Cord in all sizes and colors, for all purposes, in- 
 eluding Samson Spot Sash Cord and other Sash 
 Cords, Clothes Line, Awning Line, Ventilator 
 Cord, Curtain and Shade Cord, Mason’s Line, 
 Dumbwaiter Rope, Etc., also Cotton Twines. 
 
 Advantages: 
 
 Samson Spot Cord is made of extra quality cot- 
 ton yarn, smoothly and firmly braided, carefully 
 inspected, and guaranteed free from imperfections 
 of braid or finish. 
 
 It will wear much longer than ordinary sash cord, made 
 of inferior yarn, roughly braided, and poorly finished, which 
 wears out by abrasion on the pulley. 
 
 The cost of replacing a single broken window cord is 
 often more than the difference in first cost between Samson 
 
 Spot Sash Cord and the cheapest for an entire house. 
 
 Samsoutlrade Mack 
 
 Identifying Marks: 
 
 In addition to the labels on each hank bearing 
 the trademark of Samson and the Lion, Spot Cord 
 is marked with colored spots, which are a means 
 of identification after the label is removed, and 
 prevent substitution of inferior cord. ‘The spots 
 may be of any color and are used only with this 
 quality of cord. 
 
 Avoid Adulterated Cord: 
 
 Much of the cheap cord offered for sale contains 
 a large loaded center which is put in to increase 
 the weight of the cord and the price per foot. 
 
 This center stiffens the cord and makes it wear out 
 quickly in running over the pulleys. 
 
 The danger of getting such cord can be avoided by speci- 
 fying Samson Spot Cord which can be easily distinguished 
 by the trademark,

 Gives real fire effect 
 and heats at the same 
 time. The New “Glo-

 the perfected economical 
 way to use electric cur-

 tifically designed copper 
 reflector throws all the 
 heat rays straight into

 the hood of this beautiful old Eng- 
 lish Grate. 
 
 No Flues Necessary: 
 
 While the genuine fireplace with 
 its flue and enchanting play of flame 
 holds full sway, there are, neverthe- 
 less, many homes new and old, 
 where no flues are allowed for in 
 the plans. The “Glo-Hot” Electric 
 Grate meets this need. It gives the 
 fascinating flicker as of real fire in 
 glowing coals and HEATS as well, 
 without requiring any flue. It comes 
 closer to the effect of a real fire- 
 place than ever before attained. 
 
 The cost of operation is low com- 
 pared with any type of auxiliary 
 heating where a flue is used for the 
 escape of smoke or gases and con- 
 sequently waste of heat that goes 
 up the chimney.

 Covert Specialities Assembled in Fireplace 
 
 How to Build an Efficient Fireplace: 
 
 There are three vital parts in fireplace construction—the 
 Throat, Smoke Chamber and Flue. If these are properly 
 constructed, the fireplace will function satisfactorily in 
 every way, barring the influence that nearby high buildings 
 or high walls may have upon it. 
 
 Throat: 
 
 The construction of this most important part of a fire- 
 place is simplified through the use of a Covert Damper. 
 
 In addition to acting as a support for the arch brick, 
 Covert Dampers provide a properly designed, smooth and 
 substantial Throat that will lead all smoke and gases up 
 the flue. It is provided with a valve to control draft. 
 Covert construction secures the ledge or windshelf at the 
 back of the throat which is important in checking down 
 drafts. 
 
 Smoke Chamber: 
 
 It is important that the side walls of the Smoke Chamber, 
 which is above the throat, should be smooth and should 
 aarrow from bottom to top where the flue proper begins, 
 at the proper angle to afford a smooth chamber or com- 
 partment through which all smoke and hot gases will travel 
 into the flue without being retarded. 
 
 This construction is best accomplished by using the Covert 
 Smoke Chamber which is a steel form affording perfectly 
 smooth side walls sloped at the proper angle, and with a 
 collar at the top upon which the tile flue is started. 
 
 The use of this form saves considerable in mason’s time 
 in forming properly sloped walls in brick work, besides 
 adding greatly to the efficiency of the fireplace. 
 
 Flue: 
 
 The flue should be properly proportioned to the size of 
 the fireplace opening. <A safe rule to follow in fireplace 
 construction is to make the cross sectional area of the 
 inside of the flue lining one-tenth to one-twelfth the area 
 of the fireplace opening. It is always better to have the 
 flue too large rather than too small. 
 
 Size of Opening: 
 
 A height of 30 inches is sufficient for fireplaces up to 
 48 inches wide with a proportionate increase in height for 
 wider fireplaces. The depth should be 18 or 20 inches for 
 fireplaces up to 48 inches wide and never more than’ 24 
 inches deep for wider fireplaces. The back of the fireplace 
 should be narrower than the front; the side walls sloping 
 towards the back wall at a ratio of about 5 inches to each 
 foot of depth. 
 
 Covert Improved Damper: 
 
 This damper is very popular with contractors and builders 
 because of its simplicity and the excellence of its design 
 and construction. The valve plate is made of unbreakable 
 steel, is easily removable, and is controlled by a simple 
 ratchet placed just under the center of the arch. The 
 damper is made in five convenient sizes up to 5 feet. 
 
 Covert “Face or Side Control’? Damper: 
 
 Side Operation 
 
 Front Operation 
 
 This damper is designed to operate from either the front 
 or side of the fireplace by a single turn of a polished brass 
 knob. The mechanism is very simple, having no worm or 
 gear. All parts are easy to get at. It is made in all sizes 
 up to four feet. 
 
 Covert Old Style Dampers: 
 
 These are made in four different depths up to seven feet 
 long for very large fireplaces. All shown in our complete 
 catalog. 
 
 Covert Ash Dump: 
 
 For installation in’ the hearth to permit ashes to be 
 dropped through pit into cellar. 
 
 Covert Cleanout Door: 
 
 For installing in cellar wall to permit of easy removal 
 of ashes from pit.

 “throat”. A Peerless dome damper regulates the opening 
 of the throat at the top of the fireplace, the height of the 
 throat, the slant and the size of the opening into the 
 chimney thus insuring a perfect draft. To obtain perfect 
 results the damper should have a base opening the size

MESKER DALITE COAL WINDO 
 
 COMBINATION WINDOW 
 AND COAL CHUTE 
 
 Made by 
 
 MESKER BROS. IRON CO., 
 ST, LOUIS, MO. 
 
 Products 
 
 Steel sash and casements—fully described and priced in 
 our catalog “Steel Windows’’—copy on request. 
 
 Mesker Dalite Coal Window 
 
 This is one of our most popular specialties—a combina- 
 tion baement window and coal chute. Why close the out- 
 side opening to your coal bin with solid iron doors and de- 
 prive this part of the basement of light and air? 
 
 The Mesker Dalite Coal Window, when used with Mesker 
 Solid Section Steel Basement Windows, gave 100 per cent 
 light and ventilation all round the basement, and the coal 
 chute windows match perfectly with the other windows, giv- 
 ing a uniform appearance to the outside of basement wall. 
 
 Outstanding Advantages 
 
 The sash of Mesker Dalite Coal Window is not hinged, but 
 is pivoted to frame and is instantly removable without tools 
 of any kind. The entire glass portion of window is removed 
 when coal is being delivered, thus insuring glass against 
 breakage. This removable feature also makes window ex- 
 ceptionally easy to clean. 
 
 Window is provided with heavy corrugated steel lintel, 
 which assists in anchoring sash securely in position and 
 gives adequate support to masonry above it. 
 
 Practically the entire window opening is available for 
 glass, admitting from 40 to 60 per cent more light than 
 wooden windows to the darkest spot in the basement—the 
 coal bin. 
 
 See illustration above for unique structural details that 
 make this Coal Window a feature of home eonstruction the 
 people you build for will appreciate. 
 
 Very Reasonably Priced 
 
 In spite of its substantial construction, fine appearance 
 and many superior features, the Mesker Dalite Coal Window 
 is very reasonably priced. You can 
 figure on using it in any type of house, 
 no matter how low in price. Send for 
 price list on various types and sizes.

 NOTE THESE FEATURES 
 
 1—Admits 100 per cent daylight to the darkest spot in the basement or 40 to 
 60 per cent greater light than any other glass panel door chute on the mar- 
 ket and by far less expensive. 
 
 2—Made of extra heavy, open hearth plate steel to withstand any severe shocks. 
 
 8—Door or ‘ventilator can be removed or again placed in position instantly. No 
 tools necessary. No attachments, no glass breakage, gives identical service for 
 light and ventilation as any other window in the basement. 
 
 4—It is not an unsightly hinge but a Patented Pivot. Cannot rust tight or wear 
 out by continued usage or break from rust, decay, or in cold and frosty 
 weather. No attachments of any kind, no plates, bolts, nuts, pins or other 
 loose parts. 
 
 5—Heavy, open hearth, plate steel used throughout, bent at right angles. No 
 brittle castings to break. All parts securely held together by rivets, not by 
 spot welds, which are not only cheaper but unreliable where parts are sub- 
 “jected to severe shocks and _ vibration. 
 
 6—Outer frame of window or chute and sash or door, of solid rolled open hearth 
 steel throughout, with one continuous piece construction giving maximum in 
 rigidity and durability. 
 
 7—Has its own lintel, made of cold rolled steel and the 
 heavy pressed corrugated ribs at proper intervals give 
 maximum rigidity and ample support to the masonry above 
 it. Extend full four inehes on each side. : 
 
 8—Automatic lock, positive closing, attractive; durable; af- 
 fording protection from prowlers and rodents. 
 
 Types 90H, 120H and 170H 
 Showing exterior view of above types having 
 hopper, preventing scattering of coal.

 Quality and Price 
 
 Gabriel Products are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be 
 100% satisfactory. You may or may not be interested in the 
 material from which these products are made. Naturally, in 
 order to protect an unconditional guarantee, nothing but the 
 highest quality of material is used. They are manufactured 
 on a production basis and are accordingly priced far below the 
 usual quality product. 
 
 Construction and Material 
 
 Standard and Special Rolled Steel Sections are used in the 
 manufacture of these products. Pressed metals and castings 
 have been entirely eliminated. All joints are electrically are 
 welded. Every product is rigidly inspected, and painted with 
 a dip coat of lead and oil paint. The use of Creosote paint 
 has been discontinued by us. Gabriel Quality can be known 
 only by comparison. 
 
 Gabriel Features 
 
 Each product has been developed to perform its function 
 more perfectly, more easily and more positively than any 
 similar product. The Coal Chute door is automatically opened 
 by release of the catch, and is positively locked when closed 
 from the outside. All types are equipped with chain and roller. 
 The Ash Pit Door is practically unbreakable. The Dome 
 Damper leaf is opened wide by a quarter turn of the handle. 
 Its position (either open, partly open, or closed) is always 
 indicated by the handle—a great convenience of the fireplace. 
 The Scaffold Bracket is capable of supporting more than a ton.

 Gabriel Steel Joists 
 
 Gabriel Rolled Steel Joists have been 
 particularly designed to. increase fire- 
 safety in light-occupancy buildings em- 
 ploying wood floors. The building delays 
 and inconveniences of concrete construc- 
 tion can now be eliminated while practi-

 ayreieicymuelrical!Abeut Centerline cal fire-proof construction is secured. 
 
 Gabriel Joists are constructed from standard rolled steel sections rigidly connected at 
 the joints by electric arc welding. They are really steel trusses in miniature. No diagonal 
 bridging or bracing is necessary and as their weight is approximately only half that of 
 wooden joists of equal strength they can be quickly and economically placed. Floor con- 
 struction is more rapid with Gabriel Rolled Steel Joists.

 expense and depreciation for him, it’s a knock against you! 
 
 Ordinary sash and “cheap” coal windows can’t long stand 
 the gaff. The Majestic Coal Window says “good value” to every- 
 one who sees it. And the little extra it may cost at first, is 
 insignificant compared with the grief and expense it saves later. 
 
 It protects the house against damage, and is guaranteed break- 
 proof—made of Certified Malleable Iron and Keystone Copper 
 Steel. And electric-galvanized pressed steel doors defy rust. 
 
 It pays to install Majestic Coal Windows in homes you build. 
 
 Majestic Coal Windows come in a variety of styles and sizes 
 with or without hopper and with glass or pressed steel door. See

 Concrete Insert ‘‘BEST”’ 
 
 livery building with concrete ceil- 
 ings should _be liberally supplied with 
 inserts for ceilings for suspending 
 
 ee 
 
 wide by 17 inches high in the 
 masonry for each chute. The STAR 
 is the sturdiest coal chute you ever 
 saw—frame made of cast iron with 
 lugs on all four sides for anchoring 
 into the masonry. 
 
 pipes, timbers, shafting track, shelv- 
 
 ing, etc. 
 
 The “BEST” insert is very simple 
 and compact in design; strong and 
 rigid in construction ; quick and se- 
 cure in action. The bolt is held in a 
 vertical position, with the threads 
 down and with a sort of hook motion 
 the head of the bolt is seated in a 
 wrench shaped socket, instantly. 
 
 Water tight housing at top, giving 
 absolute protection against the 
 weather. Door of 18 gauge stamped 
 steel, embossed to give it greater 
 rigidity. 
 
 The best pratice calls for the nut of 
 a bolt to be outside, where it can be 
 seen. With this insert, there is no 
 chance of a nut becoming rusted in, 
 or the thread being ‘jimmed,”’ so that 
 the bolt cannot be taken out of the 
 insert. 
 
 Hinges concealed and protected 
 under housing. Door locks auto- 
 matically in both the open and 
 closed positions; and when closed 
 shuts tight. It keeps out drafts, 
 rain and vermin. 
 
 Chute is finished with one coat of 
 grey iron filler and comes carefully 
 packed in fibre carton, protecting it 
 until you are ready to install it. 
 Can be shipped by parcel post— 
 shipping weight 41 lbs. 
 
 The insert is designed to take the 
 full strength of the bolt. If desired, 
 an eye bolt with standard head on the 
 other end can be used for raising a 
 load by means of a differential block. 
 
 Made for 36”, 1%”, 54”, 4”, and %” 
 bolts with standard square heads—

 YPS Copper Steel Coal Door 
 
 General all-around sturdiness, combined with neat 
 appearance are the particular advantages found in the 
 YPS Coal Door. The frame is made of one solid piece 
 of deep drawn, copper steel tank plate. This same 
 unbreakable material is used throughout the door’s 
 construction. 
 
 Unbreakable offset hinges automatically hold the 
 door, when open, agaist the foundation giving perfect 
 protection to the wall when the coal is being put in. 
 The easy, tight-closing locks are both burglar-proof and 
 break-proof. If desired, they may be equipped with a 
 chain in order to re- 
 lease catch without 
 climbing over the coal 
 pile. Each door 1s 
 fitted with special slots 
 in the frames to which 
 a coal hopper may be 
 attached at any time, 
 even after the door is 
 installed.

 against lateral deflection. Goes up like 
 wooden bridging with 4-penny nails. 
 
 It comes ready to install and therefore 
 gives faster, more economical erection. 
 The real cost in preparing wooden bridg- 
 ing on the job is the carpenter time 
 necessary for cutting and fitting. 
 
 The nail holes in YPS Steel 
 Bridging are extruded, leaving 
 small prongs on the side next to 
 the joist. The carpenter simply 
 taps the bridging into place, 
 where it sticks until he drives the 
 YPS Steel Bridging nails.

 YPS Joist-Pin Anchors 
 
 Wood joists supported by brick 
 walls should have a secure anchorage 
 in the masonry. This will prevent 
 collapse of walls during construction 
 as well as after completion. 
 
 YPS Joist-Pin Anchors embedded 
 in the masonry walls anchor the joists 
 in the wall. They are made from 
 steel strips 3,”"x14”, 1446” long. One 
 end is punched with two 44” holes 
 
 for fastening to joists with spikes or lag screws. Inserted 
 and firmly pinched in the other end, which is widened to 
 1%", is a steel pin 7%” in diameter and 5” long. This pin 
 is excellent for use with hollow tile, brick or stone home 
 construction.

 TRADE MARK 
 Products 
 
 This company is the world’s largest producer of window 
 glass. Its products include Flat Glass for glazing purposes, 
 Window Glass, Crystal Sheet Glass, Ground Glass, Chipped 
 Glass, as well as Picture and Photo Glass. 
 
 Process and Production 
 
 All of the glass manufactured by this company is machine 
 made, thus insuring greater uniformity of thickness than 
 can be obtained by the hand-blown process. The annual 
 production of. the American Window Glass Company is 
 300 million square feet—nearly a million feet a day. 
 
 Chemical and Physical Properties 
 
 Chemical analysis demonstrates that American Window 
 Glass Company’s product is less susceptible to discolora- 
 tion, fade or stain than any other window glass made, 
 whether produced in this country or in Europe. 
 
 Tests of the physical properties prove that it has greater 
 tensile strength than plate glass, rolled glass, or any other 
 window glass—and greater resistance to fracture. 
 
 Flatness 
 
 We have perfected a new process of flattening which en- 
 ables us to produce window glass that is absolutely flat. 
 This means that there is less distortion when looking 
 through a window glazed with our glass. Our new-process- 
 flattened glass may be glazed with either side out. 
 
 Annealing 
 
 The glass of this company is subjected to two annealing 
 processes, instead of one; an important consideration when 
 one remembers that the strength of window glass depends 
 largely on the thoroughness with which it is annealed. Im- 
 perfectly annealed glass is very brittle and breaks easily. 
 
 “The BEST Glass” 
 
 Grades and Qualities 
 
 “AA” indicates the best quality of window glass. ‘A” 
 indicates the next best grade and “B” the next quality. 
 Grade “B” is suitable for basement and attic windows, but 
 only grades “A” or “AA” should be used for glazing the 
 windows of the principal rooms of a dwelling. 
 
 Because the cost of window glass is 
 trifling compared to the cost of other 
 material is no reason to disregard the 
 prominent part it plays in beautifying 
 a house. This is especially true when 
 you consider that you can buy “The 
 BEST Glass’’—clear and flat, exception- 
 ally strong—for the same low price as 
 the ordinary kind. 
 
 Thickness and Weight 
 
 Single Strength window glass ranges from 10 to 12 lights 
 to the inch and weighs 18144 ounces per square foot. Double | 
 Strength glass ranges from 8 to 9 lights to the inch and 
 weighs 24144 ounces per square foot. Glass thicker than 
 Single Strength or Double Strength is known as “Heavy 
 Sheet Glass” and is designated by weight in ounces per 
 square foot. 
 
 26-0z. Glass Stacks 714 to 8 lights to the inch. 
 
 29-0z. Glass Stacks 6% to 7 lights to the inch. 
 
 34-0z. Glass Stacks 6 to 6% lights to the inch. 
 
 39-oz. Glass Stacks 5 to 5% lights to the inch. 
 (A sheet of 39-0z. glass is about 3/16 of an inch thick.) 
 
 Crystal Sheet Glass 
 
 Made in the heavier weights only—26-oz. to 39 oz. This 
 is the finest quality of window glass made—absolutely flat, 
 of uniform thickness, and with a brilliant surface. Used 
 for glazing windows in the better class of homes, also for 
 glazing French doors, and for table or bureau tops and glass 
 shelving. An acceptable substitute in many cases for the 
 higher priced polished plate glass. 
 
 Identification Label 
 
 All our boxes are identified by the oval trade-mark shown 
 above, and each contains a “quality” paper slip showing the 
 grade and thickness. 
 
 Complete Window Glass Specifications or any other in- 
 
 formation you may desire will be gladly furnished on 
 request.

 Double Hung Windows: 
 
 The Higgin Two-Member Track and Insert Equipment for 
 double hung windows consists of a rib track, fitted to the 
 window frame. The rib or raised portion is 9s” high and ex- 
 tends into a groove cut into the edge of sash at jambs, head 
 and sill, This strip called the Track is usually made of zine. 
 
 Insert: 
 
 The other strip called the Insert fits into the groove in the 
 sash and is so formed that the spring sides or flanges contact 
 lightly with the raised tongue or rib of the track and effectu- 
 ally seal the aperture. This strip is usually made of spring 
 bronze of very thin gauge metal. The Insert resting on the 
 slightly raised portion at base of rib on track insures easy 
 sliding. 
 
 Not Affected by Sash Shrinkage: 
 
 The Higgin Weather Strip is all metal. There is nothing 
 about it to wear out or get out of order. The method of 
 construction is such that the two parts do not cut or damage 
 each other. The sides only of the Insert come in contact 
 with the tongue of the Track. The efficiency of the equip- 
 ment is not affected by shrinkage of the sash. If the sash 
 draws away from the frame the sides of the Insert contact 
 with the tongue of the Track and effectually close the space. 
 
 Note: The Higgin Track for single member strip may be 
 used without the Insert and is as effective as any other single 
 member strip. This single member strip can be furnished at 
 less cost but it is not so effective as when the two-member track 
 and insert equipment is used. 
 
 Installation: 
 
 Lower Sash—The rib track extends to top edge of meeting 
 rail projecting slightly into the parting strip and also lapping 
 under inside stop. Upper Sash—The rib track extends about 
 one inch below meeting rail, projecting slightly into the out- 
 side stop bead. Slot is cut into track to clear pulleys. Head 
 and Sill—Track extends full width of opening. Insert con- 
 cealed in sash groove, at sides, bottom and head, full length. 
 
 tail of installation. When your contract is placed with the Higgin organization you 
 may rest assured of its having the most painstaking consideration. 
 
 The meeting rail is equipped with a flat zine or copper strip 
 attached to top rail of lower sash which interlocks with a 
 hook strip attached to the bottom rail of the upper sash. 
 
 Casement Windows: 
 
 The top and lock sides are equipped with a flat zine or 
 copper strip attached to sash which interlocks with a hook 
 strip of same metal, secured into the rabbet. The hinged 
 side, a rib track is appled, the raised tongue extending into 
 a groove in the sash. The bottom of out-opening sash are 
 usually equipped the same as for top and lock sides. In- 
 opening sash are equipped with an interlocking trough of 
 either brass or zine. This equipment has proven very efficient 
 in stopping air and water leakage. 
 
 Doors: 
 
 In the rabbet at sides and head are attached a compression 
 spring bronze strip which contacts with door as it closes. For 
 the bottom an extruded brass threshold with an interlocking 
 brass hook and spring bronze contact strip makes a thoroughly 
 air and water-tight equipment and provides a handsome and 
 permanent threshold.

 This company specializes in the manufacture of 
 Insect Screens—both wood and metal frame. We do not 
 make stock screens but give you a “made-to-measure” 
 screen of the highest quality, yet very reasonable in 
 price. 
 
 Metal Screens: 
 
 Our Metal Screens are light and graceful in appear- 
 ance and are recommended because with this form of 
 construction it is possible to reduce the frame-work to 
 a minimum, and to increase the area of screen cloth, 
 admitting more light and air. All of our metal frames 
 are so substantially made and so thoroughly protected 
 against rust that they can be relied on to give years 
 of satisfactory service. 
 
 Screen Cloth Easily Renewed: 
 
 A cross section of our metal molding 
 is shown full size in this illustration. 
 Note the round rod that adds strength 
 to frame, clamps the screen cloth se- 
 curely without injuring it, and can be 
 easily removed when new cloth is in- 
 serted in the screen. With this form 
 of construction screen cloth can be 
 stretched taut, preventing absolutely 
 unsightly sagging or bulging. Note 
 also how edge of molding laps over 
 rod, sealing the interior of molding 
 against the entrance of dirt or water.

 Special Screens: 
 
 For double hung windows, sliding sash, or inwardly 
 opening casement windows, outside screens are usually 
 preferred. We build them to cover one-half of the 
 window, or entire opening. Screens slide easily in the 
 guides and are prevented from rattling by a heavy 
 bronze spring—see illustration above. 
 
 For casement, or hinged windows, opening out, we 
 recommend our inside, twin sliding screens. These 
 screens do not interfere with curtains or draperies and 
 need be opened only part way to operate sash or 
 awnings. 
 
 Made in Three Styles:

 nized Steel Wire Cloth.

 cmallest insects. 
 
 Screen Doors: 
 
 We make to order Screen Doors from selected, thor- 
 oughly seasoned wood, with a minimum thickness of 114 
 inches. When desired, special grille work can be used in 
 lower portion of door to give additional strength and 
 beauty.

 Installation: 
 
 of cost furnished from any of these local offices or from the home office. 
 
 Our fitters are experts employed the year around. We are happily placed in this particular as we 
 manufacture and install Higgin All-Metal Weather Strips as well as Higgin Screens and ean, therefore, afford 
 to carry a larger force of competent men than would otherwise be possible. 
 
 Metal Frame Screens: 
 
 Are of two types as illustrated numbers 1 and 2. 
 Higgin Metal Frame Screens are made of galvanized 
 steel, enameled both inside and outside so that all 
 unsupported and exposed surfaces of the metal are 
 protected. Frames are also made of solid rolled 
 bronze or copper. 
 
 Sereens illustrated as No. 1 have frames of hollow 
 construction, so made that no solder is used, thus 
 making it possible to thoroughly enamel the inside 
 as well as the outside of the steel frame and bake it 
 at the high temperatures necessary. The surfaces 
 are plain and smooth. The corners have heavy con- 
 cealed reinforcements, locked mechanically, the out- 
 side moulding or frame being neatly mitered. This 
 results in frames of extreme strength and rigidity. 
 
 The wire cloth is held in the groove by means of 
 a cam shaped non-resilient spline so formed as to 
 roll into place and lock. This spline can be removed 
 for the purpose of rewiring the screen without dam- 
 age to either spline or frame. There are no sharp 
 edges to cut the netting, which comes in contact with 
 
 rounded surfaces only. 
 
 Sereens illustrated as No. 2 are somewhat less in price than 
 No. 1 and are made with an inside frame of 14” galvanized 
 steel or copper clad rod. Around this rod the wire netting 
 is drawn, stretched perfectly tight, and held securely there 
 by the outside mouldings. The netting can not pull out or 
 get loose, and there are no sharp edges bearing against it with 
 a tendency to cut it as it expands or contracts with changes 
 in the atmosphere. 
 
 Wire Cloth: 
 
 Is of genuine Anaconda Antique bronze wire, 16 meshes to 
 the inch. Finer mesh cloth can also be furnished. This cloth 
 does not require painting. Will not rust. 
 
 Double Hung Window Screens: 
 
 Screens for double hung windows may be single sliding, 
 double sliding, or full length stationary or hinged. The slid- 
 ing and full length stationary screens are fitted with com- 
 pression side springs and seat in metal channels placed on 
 outside stop bead and extend full height of window. 
 
 Hinge screens seat in outside rabbet against stop bead. 
 They may be either top or side hinged. 
 
 Casement Window Screens: 
 
 Screens for casements opening in may be full height sta- 
 tionary set in guides, double sliding or hinged. If double 
 siding, 114-in. space is required for double guides. Case- 
 ments opening out may be screened with hinged screens 
 opening in, or with vertical or horizontal double sliding 
 screens. Hinged screens single or in pairs as conditions de- 
 mand. With hinged screens a rabbet % in. deep and not less 
 than 4% in. wide should be provided. Steel Casements in groups 
 of two or more, windows of Hoffman, Whitney or similar types 
 are conveniently screened with horizontal sliding screens. Screens 
 may be divided into as many sections as necessary. Screens 
 slide in a double groove extruded brass track secured to sill. 
 
 Door Screens: 
 
 Higgin doors are all built to order. In width of rails, finish 
 and kind of wood used, they match the corresponding house 
 doors. All joints are mortised 
 and tenoned, glued and wedged. 
 The wire cloth is rolled with a 
 groove and held in place with a 
 rattan spline covered with a flat 
 moulding. The hardware used 
 is of plain design finished to 
 match the house hardware. 
 Grilles and guards are fur- 
 nished when specified and are 
 ornamental as well as protec- 
 tion. 
 
 Porch Screening: 
 
 Sereen Porch panels are built 
 to conform to architectural lines 
 of the house and offer an at- 
 tractiveness as well as affording 
 immense satisfaction and com- 
 fort. 
 
 No. 2 Metal 
 Frame Standard Screen 
 
 Wood Frame Screens: 
 
 Are of the highest quality. Built to meet every requirement, 
 as to type, kind of wood and finish. Generally made of White

 Practical Design: 
 
 The GODER Model C-1 (chimney feed type) is built of

 purposes and smoke outlet. This model is especially de- 
 signed for homes and 2 and 3-flat buildings.

 ator” a built-in-the-chimney flue-fed incin- 
 
 erator for the prompt, safe and sanitary dis- 
 
 posal of garbage and refuse of all kinds, by burning, with- 
 out cost. It is made in various sizes to properly meet the 
 requirements of the small bungalow, or the large residence, 
 also for Apartment Buildings, Schools and Hospitals. 
 
 Description: (Refer to illustration opposite) 
 
 The Kernerator consists of a brick combustion chamber, 
 with fire brick lining, located in the basement of the build- 
 ing into which is built a special arrangement of grates with 
 patented by pass flue to provide proper Draft control to 
 insure complete successful and odorless combustion of Gar- 
 bage and Waste. 
 
 One or more receiving Hopper Doors (shown below) are 
 located in the flue (Regular Chimney) on the floor or floors 
 above. In homes the Hopper Door is located in or near the 
 kitchen. 
 
 The Flue serves as a fall-way for garbage and waste 
 deposited in the Hopper Door; also as a chimney to carry 
 off the products of combustion during burnings. 
 
 The Incinerator is constructed in accordance with detailed 
 working drawings which are furnished with the parts. The 
 drawings are clear, and the construction simple—so that 
 the mason has no difficulty in building it. 
 
 No Smoke, Heat or Odor Escapes Into Room: There is 
 always a draft into a chimney from the building. When 
 the hopper door is open (when depositing refuse) air is 
 drawn into the flue from the room—there is never any pos- 
 sibility of smoke, heat or odor escaping into the room— 
 the suction of the draft into and up the flue prevents that. 
 
 Operation 
 
 Into the hopper door is put all refuse of every kind— 
 garbage, tin cans, broken bottles, sweepings, waste paper— 
 everything that is no longer wanted. This falls down the 
 flue into the incinerator in the basement where it distributes 
 itself on the grates into a more or less separated and loose 
 pile permitting draft, fire and heat to circulate through and 
 around it. 
 
 When the incinerating chamber is nearly full the waste is 
 ignited and the whole mass burns without further atten- 
 tion. Watermelon rinds and other large pieces of vegetable 
 matter may not be entirely consumed in one burning, but 
 
 they will be smoked, sterilized and dried and will form fuel 
 for the next burning. 
 
 The fire sterilizes the entire chimney flue, maintaining a 
 Sanitary condition throughout. The smoke soots the chim- 
 ney walls and prevents any garbage from adhering to them. 
 The inside of the incinerator contains soot, gas and creosote 
 —all preservatives created by the action of the flames—- 
 which kill all odors and germs. Garbage cannot decay 
 between burnings for the same reason that meats do not 
 decay when stored in the old-fashioned smokehouse. 
 
 Every few months, or as often as desired, the ashes, tin 
 cans and other non-combustible material accumulated on 
 the grates can be dumped into the ashpit and removed.

 cated in the kitchen,

 Vertical Grate 
 
 At the side of the horizontal grate on which refuse falls 
 is the by-pass or vertical grate. Behind this is the by-pass 
 or secondary flue. During burnings air comes up this flue, 
 passes through the vertical grate and feeds heated oxygen 
 to the fire, which is always on top of the burning material. 
 Gases liberated from the refuse by the heat pass up through 
 the flames and are consumed. This is what enables the 
 Kernerator to destroy all waste without the addition of 
 commercial fuel, and it is an exclusive patented feature,

Kernerator—The Garbage and Refuse Burner (Continued) 
 
 Three Distinguishing Points 
 
 The Kernerator destroys all refuse on the premises where 
 it originates—destroys it by burning—burns it without cost 
 —in the most convenient, sanitary and economical way, 
 with only one handling. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Sanitary—All unsanitary garbage and refuse containers, 
 pits and screened locations are done away with. Nothing to 
 draw flies, or other disease-carrying insects or vermin. 
 Authorities agree that the proper method of garbage and 
 waste disposal is to burn it on premises under the proper 
 conditions. 
 
 Safety—Waste piles are a fertile breeding ground for 
 disease germs. Accumulations of rubbish in the basement 
 are an eyer present fire and health hazard. The Kernerator 
 eliminates this nuisance and danger. 
 
 Convenience—The safe disposal of all table, kitchen and 
 household waste, is done immediately without effort. Seventy 
 percent of the housewife’s time is spent in “cleaning-up.” 
 Much of this time is saved by the handy Kernerator door, 
 right there in the kitchen. 
 
 Economy—The Kernerator costs nothing to operate. The 
 waste itself is fuel for its own destruction. 
 
 Money Back Guarantee 
 
 Every Kernerator is sold with the understanding that the 
 method of burning, storing and sterilizing kitchen waste 
 and household refuse in the Kenerator is strictly sanitary and 
 efficient. Any time within six months after installing, in 
 accordance with plans and specifications, and after a reason- 
 able and fair trial, should method not prove satisfactory, 
 metal parts may be returned to the Company and within 15 
 days all money paid the Company for them will be refunded 
 together with transportation charges. 
 
 Note: With thousands of installations and years 
 
 of service we have never had an Incinerator re- 
 turned to us. 
 
 Flue Areas 
 
 The schedules below governs the minimum inside flue 
 areas for chimneys to serve the Kernerator: 
 
 Where one Hopper Door is installed on first floor 12”x12” 
 flue; where Hopper Doors are installed on 2 to 6 floors 
 16”x16” flue; 7 to 10 Floors 20”x20” flue, or larger flues in 
 each instance. 
 
 Include Kernerator in Building Plans 
 
 The best time to install a Kernerator is when the founda- 
 tion of a home is built—include it in the general masonry 
 bids. If added as an extra the masonry costs may be 
 higher. 
 
 If there is a 12”x12” flue in or near the kitchen, the in- 
 stalling of a Kernerator in an existing home is a simple 
 matter. 
 
 Smoke or vent pipes from boilers, furnaces, ranges, water 
 heaters, etc., may be connected to the same chimney as the 
 Kernerator if desired without any interference with their 
 operation or that of the Kernerator. The one exception is 
 fireplace flues—which cannot be joined to same flue as 
 Kernerator. 
 
 Special Service 
 
 We have sets of different basement layouts for incin- 
 
 erators, one of which will undoubtedly fit into your plans 
 without any changes. These suggested layouts will be gladly 
 mailed on request.

 Complete Wiring for Complete Comfort 
 
 Homebuilders today react very quickly 
 to complete wiring in a finished house or 
 merely in plan form. They know it means 
 complete comfort. 
 
 Just suppose you could go through such 
 a house as this. Picture to yourself what 
 your reaction would be. 
 
 A Friendly Doorway 
 
 The doorway is hospitable. Its bracket 
 hghts, one on either side, guide guests to 
 the door and gleam a welcome. 
 
 oe i 
 
 A Pleasant Hall 
 
 At the first step indoors you come within 
 reach of a tumbler switech—at once the 
 whole hall is flooded with light. You no- 
 tice a convenience outlet in the baseboard. 
 It suggests the decorative lamp set on a 
 table, or a cooling electric fan. You also 
 see at a glance how easy it will be to keep 
 the hall clean. Your vacuum cleaner will 
 plug in conveniently. Another button at 
 the foot of the stairs catches your eye. 
 You press it curiously and the light in the 
 hall upstairs gleams out, brightening the 
 whole stair-way.

 'A Living Room that Gives 
 Living-Ease 
 
 Now turn into the living room. You cannot but 
 approve of the way the fixtures are arranged. The 
 centre fixture lights the whole room cheerfully. The 
 wall brackets throw interesting spots of light into 
 the corners. There are a number of convenience 
 outlets. (The rule of the house is an outlet to every 
 50 square feet of floor space.) You can picture the 
 glowing lamps—one near a big comfortable reading 
 chair—one in the corner where you might stage a 
 card game and one next to the piano. And then you 
 can imagine a comforting electric fan in the room 
 next summer, direct connected radio set, and of 
 course the electric vacuum cleaner in cleaning hours. 
 The whole room suggests ease, charm, and restfulness. 
 
 A Dining Room With 
 Extra Comforts 
 
 Now for the dining room. Probably the first things 
 that interest you are the extra number of convenience 
 outlets—extra comforts. Immediately a picture flashes 
 into your mind. You are seated at breakfast. The 
 electric coffee percolator is bubbling in front of you. 
 Easy to reach out and take a fresh cup without 
 stirring from your seat. And fresh toast is crisping 
 in the electric toaster. Everything within reach. 
 Then you’ notice the lighting. The centre fixture 
 throws a pleasant amount of light on the table, and 
 the wall brackets add to the charm of the room.

 Light Housekeeping in 
 the Kitchen 
 
 Through the swinging door and into the 
 kitchen. ‘‘ Will housekeeping be a burden 
 of long hours and tedious tasks?’’ That’s 
 the question in your mind as you look 
 about. But very soon all doubts are set at 
 rest. You notice that the lighting is care- 
 fully planned—no shadows to make kitchen 
 jobs harder. There’s a center fixture on 
 the ceiling for the main illumination. 
 There’s a lamp over the sink and a lamp 
 over the kitchen table. The electrical stove 
 is a great convenience—no coal or ashes to 
 eart—and no fuel odors. In a wall placed 
 at arm’s height you notice a twin con- 
 venience outlet. You won’t have to stoop 
 to plug in electrical kitchen utensils—elec- 
 tric egg beater, household motor for mix- 
 ing bread, ice cream freezer, meat grinder. 
 And then, too, this outlet is near the sink 
 and it can be used for the electric dish- 
 washer. 
 
 A Sun Parlor Planned 
 
 for Leisure 
 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG

 Before mounting the stairs you explore 
 the sun parlor. You see at a glance that it 
 is the sort of a place you will enjoy lounging 
 in. The centre light, brightening the whole 
 room, may be turned on from the dining 
 room before you step out. There is a twin 
 convenience outlet in the baseboard. A table 
 lamp will fit in here, possibly for a desk; for 
 the sun parlor is a pleasant spot to work in. 
 Occasionally you may want to bring your 
 coffee percolator out here, or have a chafing- 
 dish party. The convenience outlet will come 
 in very handy. There is also another one on 
 the wall opposite—up high. An electric fan 
 will be an added comfort here. And, of 
 course, the sun parlor will be just as easy to 
 keep clean as the other rooms. The vacuum 
 cleaner will do the job quickly. 
 
 Up a Well-Lighted Stairway 
 
 Back to the hall where at the click of a switch a 
 full ight is thrown on the stairway and the hall 
 above is also lighted. Once up the stairs you can 
 turn off the downstairs light with a switch at the 
 top of the stairs. The upper hall has the same con- 
 venience that the lower had. The convenience out- 
 lets are for an extra lamp, an electric fan, or the 
 vacuum cleaner. 
 
 A Bedroom with all the 
 Details of Comfort 
 
 Then into a bedroom. At once you see that comfort 
 has been planned and put right into its walls. The 
 centre light switches on at the door. On the wall 
 there are two sets of two brackets placed to accommo- 
 date a dressing table and a desk between them. No 
 shadows to disturb you when you are dressing or 
 writing—the light on either side takes care of that. 
 And then there is a convenience outlet at the base- 
 board next to the dressing table. You can use this 
 for hair curler, vibrator, immersion heater. The 
 convenience outlet at the desk is for an extra lamp.

 of the Home 
 
 Looking over at the beds you see a convenience 
 outlet between them, and if you like to read in bed, 
 you mentally place a lamp and a table there. You 
 also are pleased to see that there is a switch in the 
 wall within your reach when in bed, by which you 
 ean turn on and off the lights of the room, 
 
 You then open the closet door—and find it lighted. 
 No squinting about in the dark for clothes. When 
 you shut the door the light goes off. No forgetting 
 to turn off the hght when you’re in a hurry. It’s 
 automatic, controlled by the opening and closing of 
 the door. 
 
 And the Bathroom Has Special Comforts 
 
 The bathroom is the next room to inspect. It is 
 just as complete. 
 the center fixture. There are two brackets on either 
 side of the mirror to throw even light without shadow. 
 And a convenience outlet at arm’s height in the wall 
 makes it possible for you to attach a heater or elec- 
 trical toilet accessories. That completes the second 
 floor, for the other bedrooms and bathrooms are 
 equally pleasant and complete.

 Even the Cellar Is Cheerful 
 
 And so down you go two flights turning on 
 and off lights as you go. The laundry is in 
 the cellar—and here electricity is of the 
 utmost importance. The place is well lit 
 with one powerful centre lamp. A double 
 convenience outlet in the wall at. arm’s 
 height takes care of the electric washing 
 machine, ironing machine, or electric iron. 
 In another corner of the cellar are the vege- 
 table and coal bins and the heater room. A 
 lamp is centrally placed at each of these 
 spots. And in the heater room you see the 
 safety distribution panel and safety switch 
 —safety-assurance for the whole wired 
 house. 
 
 With a final look at the cellar, your tour 
 of inspection is over. You step back to the 
 hall and announce —approval or disap- 
 proval? Surely, approval! 
 
 Today People Want to Buy COMFORT 
 As Well As a Home 
 
 Such a home as the one just described wins 
 immediate approval. It brings up pictures 
 of happy hours—of daily living without the 
 usual worry and fuss—of ease at work and 
 comfort during leisure. 
 
 People are willing—more than that — 
 anxious, to pay for this. The little differ- 
 ence in the cost of a meagerly wired home 
 and a home with complete wiring system 
 does not count in the face of such comfort. 
 And the finished or planned home that has 
 comfort built right into its walls wins imme- 
 diate favor with father, mother, children, 
 everyone!

 The Importance of Quality Wiring 
 With wires and wiring materials built 
 into the walls and hidden under floorboards, 
 
 the only safe and economical wiring is the » 
 
 kind that will last as long as the building. 
 That is why it is so important to use only 
 G-E materials from start to finish. 
 
 A Feature that Adds Value to a House 
 
 If you can show a man or a woman how 
 
 completely a house 18S = 
 wired, for utmost com- 
 fort and convenience, you 
 have a valuable selling 
 point for the house. If 
 you can also say that the 
 Wiring material is G-E 
 throughout, you have a 
 ready proof of quality 
 construction in the hid- 
 den points. For G-E are 
 the initials of a friend not only to the archi- 
 tectural profession and members of the 
 electrical industry but are equally well and 
 favorably known to the great army of 
 American house-holders 
 and owners. The house, 
 with the G-E wiring sys- 
 tem in it, commands a 
 higher price—anda 
 quicker sale. 
 
 What Is a G-E Wiring 
 System? 
 
 The G-E Wiring Sys- 
 tem is a system of house- 
 wiring, embodying ade- 
 quate outlets conveniently controlled, and 
 using G-E materials throughout. It pro- 
 vides a minimum of one lighting outlet and 
 one convenience outlet for every fifty square 
 feet of floor space and switch control at 
 every doorway. 
 
 It is a guaranteed wiring system, be- 
 cause General Electric, with all its prestige 
 and reputation, stands squarely behind 
 the quality of every piece of G-E ma- 
 terial. It is a G-E contribution to the 
 well-being and prosperity of American 
 home-owners. 7 
 G-E Wiring System Simplifies Bids and In- 
 sures Quality Installation 
 4p Having specified the 
 G-E Wiring System, 
 the general contractor 
 knows that all elec- 
 trical contractors are 
 basing their bids on 
 identical material; and 
 that variations in bids 
 represent factors other 
 than the quality of the 
 materials used on the job. 
 By specifying and installing the G-E wiring 
 system, both building and electrical con- 
 tractors may unreservedly guarantee satis- 
 faction and trouble-free service for the life 
 of the house itself. 
 
 When the G-E Wir- 
 ing System is speci- 
 fied, the builder is 
 assured of a complete 
 service which relieves 
 him of the trouble of 
 examining, classifying 
 : and specifying the diver- 
 q sified products of a num- 
 ber of manufacturers; 
 and he retains authority over the wiring 
 installation. This is a mighty important 
 fact to remember, for this is a feature 
 just as individual to the G-I Wiring 
 System as is the excellence of the products — 
 themselves.

 The G-E Wiring System is 
 Advertised 
 
 It is always easier to sell a product that 
 is made by a manufacturer whom every- 
 body knows. The G-E Wiring System is 
 advertised from coast to coast, in two- 
 color pages in the Saturday Evening Post. 
 This campaign is making the average man 
 and woman acquainted with wiring systems 
 —appreciate the importance of quality 
 wiring—and willing to pay for the highest 
 quality. 
 
 Nationally 
 
 Electrical Specification Data 
 
 General Electric engineers, working with 
 experienced architects throughout the 
 country, have prepared a book of ‘‘speci- 
 fication data’’ for architects, and a com- 
 panion book for contractors. Any architect, 
 or a builder who plans a house without the 
 help of an architect, can list his wiring 
 specifications in accurate detail, simply by 
 copying from this book. It has specifica- 
 tions for five different types of houses, 
 ranging in value from $6,000 to $50,000. 
 
 This book, ‘‘ Electrical Specification Data 
 for Architects,’’ is now available, without 
 charge. 
 
 G-E Proposal Forms 
 
 To help the electrical contractor—but just 
 as much, to help the builder or architect 
 to study his wiring bids quickly and simply 
 —General Electric has prepared ‘‘proposal 
 sheets’’ for the presentation of wiring bids. 
 Every electrical contractor using G-E ma- 
 terials can obtain a supply of these, and 
 you will be making your own job easier if 
 you insist on seeing the bid neatly outlined 
 for quick reading on a G-E form. 
 
 How the “Home of a Hundred Comforts’ 
 Helps the Builder 
 
 Any builder planning a home for a pros- 
 pect will find this book one that his prospec- 
 tive client can understand and 
 enjoy—that will help him in 
 his house planning—and sell 
 him the idea of wanting 
 a complete G-E Wiring 
 System. This book will 
 help the builder, too, 
 when he talks plans 
 andprices. Ask your 
 electrical contrac- 
 tor for a copy 
 , of the ‘‘Home 
 = ~ of a Hundred 
 i ES ~Comforts’’.

 Where economy is the prime requirement and 
 where local conditions permit, No. 14 Code Wire 
 with suitable knobs, tubes and cleats may be used 
 for branch conductors in what is eommonly known 
 as knob and tube work. 
 
 This method of wiring may be used only in word 
 frame construction. Since armored conductors are 
 vermin-proof and minimize the fire hazard which 
 may result from short circuits, overheated WI1LeS, 
 etc., an armored conductor installation is always 
 preferable to a knob and tube installation.

Crane-Warlo Water Softeners, Water Systems, Deep and Shallow Well Pumps 
 CRANE CO. General Offices: Crane Bldg., 836 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago 
 
 FOR LIST OF BRANCHES AND SALES OFFICES SEE PAGE 338 
 
 For Other Products See Pages as Follows. 
 
 Crane-Warlo Water 
 
 Softeners: 
 
 Crane-Warlo Water Softeners have 
 many structural and operating features 
 which enable them to soften water the 
 easiest, surest and cheapest way. 
 
 Special Filter Screen: Replacing the bulky 
 layer of sand and gravel used in other 
 water softeners, the Crane-Warlo uses 
 a special woven filter screen on which 
 a patent has been applied for. This 
 is of rust-proof Monel Metal, so finely 
 woven that in the Size C-2 Softener 
 there are approximately 12,000,000 tiny 
 holes for water to pass through. This 
 filter screen not only distributes the 
 water but also eliminates all foreign 
 particles. Because of its high filtering 
 capacity it will soften muddy or cloudy 
 water which would soon clog other 
 softeners. When the flow of water is 
 reversed in order to renew the water- 
 softening mineral, all dirt is washed 
 away. 
 
 Only 1/37 of an inch thick, this filter 
 screen saves hundreds of cubic inches 
 of space, and this allows more room 
 for the softening material. It gives 
 the Crane-Warlo greater softening ca- 
 pacity, size for size, than other soft- 
 eners. 
 
 Sectional View 
 of Crane - Warlo 
 Water Softener. 
 
 Upward Flow of Water: Crane-Warlo softening capacity is 
 increased from 7% to 11% by the upward flow, which keeps 
 every grain of mineral in suspension with all of its sides 
 exposed to the water. 
 
 Chemical Mineral: Instead of the ‘‘natural clay” or “green- 
 sand” used in some softeners, the Crane-Warlo employs 
 Silox, a manufactured mineral which is the most perfect 
 water softening agent known. Silox has a_ softening 
 capacity four times greater, for instance, than “greensand.” 
 Requiring fewer renewals, it saves the owner time, bother 
 and salt consumed in each renewal. Silox 
 will not disintegrate. Iron does not 
 harm it. 
 
 Improved Salt Cap: The special gasket of the 
 Crane-Warlo salt cap lasts for years with- 
 out leakage. The jack screw operating 
 principle of the salt cap positively prevents 
 jamming. 
 
 Glass Lined Tank: The Crane-Warlo is the 
 only water softener supplied with a glass 
 lined tank. Fused to the inner side of the 
 
 tank, the glass forms a permanent protec- ae fon) 
 
 tion against rust or corrosion. On renewals, 
 it withstands the action of the salt wash 
 which soon eats away even the heaviest 
 galvanized coating. 
 
 Measure and Funnel: Crane - Warlo renewals 
 are made easy and effective. A copper salt 
 receiver measures the exact amount of salt 
 needed. A timing funnel measures. the 
 proper flow of water regardless of what the 
 city pressure may be. 
 
 Construction: Simple and sturdy construction 
 in every part distinguishes the Crane-Warlo 
 water softener. Only Crane valves and fit- 
 tings are used. All materials are of highest 
 grade. The handsome blue tank is bolted 
 to a heavy cast iron base. It is the only 
 softener which if necessary, could be taken 
 apart and re-assembled without damage.

 Water Systems: 
 
 For suburbs and country 
 homes, farms, etc., Crane-Warlo 
 Water Systems meet every re- 
 quirement. Capacities from 200 
 to 6,000 gallons an hour for deep 
 or shallow wells. Electric or 
 fasoline power. 
 
 Quality Materials: Crank Shafts 
 have double-bearings of highest 
 quality carbon steel, forged and 
 specially heat-treated. HEvery 
 bronze part is forged, not merely 
 east. 
 
 Perfected Design: Simple. No 
 delicate or complicated parts to 
 get out of order. Flood lubrica- 
 tion saves wear. Even in a 
 dimly lighted basement, the pat- 
 ented visible oil guage tells when 
 more oil is needed. The special 
 device which prevents the oil 
 from mixing with the water ha‘% 
 no packing to wear, leak and 
 need replacing.

 Completely Accessible: In no other 
 pump, are parts so easy to get 
 at. For example, the suction 
 valve can be reached by merely 
 removing one nut. 
 
 Parts Interchangeable: Bearings are machined to .0005 of an 
 inch. So exact is the precision that parts are interchange-

 Thoroughly Tested: Every Crane-Warlo system is tested 
 for five hours at the factory under full working load. It 
 must prove its ability to pump its full capacity with stan- 
 dard current consumption before it is shipped. 
 
 Crane-Warlo Automatic Shallow Well Units: 
 
 Crane-Warlo Shallow’ Well systems are 
 furnished in various capacities, with electric 
 or gasoline. motor pump and storage tank, 
 ready for all plumbing and electrical con- 
 nections, 
 
 Size 215-A, shown above, has a 42-gallon 
 storage tank, galvanized inside and out, with 
 electrically welded seams. Its pumping ca- 
 pacity is 200 gallons per hour, ample for 
 families of three to five persons. Systems 
 No. 215-B and 215-C use the same pump and 
 motor, with tanks of 53 and 82 gallons ca- 
 pacity for families of six and eight people. 
 
 Where larger capacity is needed, we recom- 
 
 eta mend the use of Crane-Warlo No. 400 outfit.

 Crane-Warlo Automatic 
 Deep Well Unit: 
 
 The Crane-Warlo Deep Well Pump has a 
 capacity of 150 to 250 gallons per hour, It 
 is ideally suited for use with wells that 
 range from 35 to 200 ft. in depth. 
 
 All working parts are enclosed from dust 
 and grit in a permanent housing. Pistons, 
 gears, plunger rods, etc., are balanced to give 
 efficient service. Every moving part operates 
 in a flood of oil from a small rotary pump, yet 
 no water can reach the oil side of the pump. 
 
 Plungers are easily renewed, without dis- 
 turbing the pump head itself. Motor, of % 
 to 1 H. P., depending on size and depth of 
 well, is of latest and most economical type, 
 with two pole automatic control switch. An 
 exclusive feature is the air pump, operated 
 or disengaged by a simple lever.

 The Convenience 
 of Running Water 
 
 Every home owner appreciates the convenience of 
 an adequate supply of running water, under pressure. 
 This is a convenience which may now be had in any 
 home, even though you may decide to build your home 
 many miles from city water mains. 
 
 Hoosier Water Service equipment offers to subur- 
 ban and isolated home owners a water service equal in 
 every respect to that provided by city water mains. 
 With this equipment any form of power, including elec- 
 tricity, gasoline engine, or windmill, may be used, 
 Motors suitable for current supplied from farm lighting 
 plants are also furnished with these installations. 
 
 The electric and windmill installations are auto- 
 matically controlled, need no personal supervision other 
 than an occasional oiling, and provide ample pressure 
 at all times. 
 
 Soft Water from 
 Your Cistern 
 
 Soft water, pumped from your cistern, and under 
 pressure, is a thing found desirable in many localities, 
 even though you may have city water in your home. 
 Oftentimes the city water is too hard for many house- 
 hold uses, and an ample supply of soft water for use in 
 kitchen, aundry and bath proves a blessing. The 
 installation shown to the right, in capacities of 120 and 
 240 gallons an hour, are ideal ones for soft water 
 
 pumping.

 All Pump Surfaces 
 
 . Inside 
 Galvanized ae 
 
 Hoosier Pumps, and the smaller 
 sizes of pressure tanks, have an all- 
 galvanized surface, inside and out. 
 This is a heavy coating of pure zinc, 
 apphed by the hot-dipping process, and 
 provides a serviceable protection 
 against rust and corrosion. Water as 
 
 supplied through one of these installa- 
 tions is delivered for use as pure as it comes from the 
 well. This GALVAZINK surface is superior in every 
 respect to paint, is easily cleaned, and will last as long 
 as the metal to which it is applied. 
 Hoosier Pumps, for either shallow or deep wells, 
 are self-lubricating. One filling of crank case with oil 
 provides lubrication for many months. 
 
 Capacity, 249 Gallons an Hour. 
 Tank Sizes: 33, 66 and 100 gallons. 
 
 Equipment for Wells 
 of Any Depth 
 
 Hoosier Water Service equipment may be had for 
 pumping from wells of any depth. Each installation is 
 provided with air pumping attachment, so that air and 
 water, or water only, may be pumped into the pressure 
 tank.

 Selecting Proper Size Water Softeners 
 All Monarch Softeners Single Control Valve Type 
 
 For ordinary household purposes a 
 Softener should be of sufficient size so 
 that it will not have to be reconditioned 
 more than once every three or four 
 weeks, while a longer period is even 
 better. 
 
 The table below shows the approxi- 
 mate usage of soft water per week for a 
 family ranging from two to ten persons 
 | per family. By referring to this table 
 
 showing capacities of Monarch Soft- 
 hi! | eners, the correct size can be readily de- 
 , termined; i. e., if you reside in a city 
 pe having water of 20-grain hardness per 
 U.S. gallon and there are four persons in the family, 
 you will use approximately 490 gallons of soft water 
 per week, or approximately 2,000 gallons per month. 
 
 By referring to the table below you will find that 
 for 20-grain water, our size MD-33 will soften 2,500 
 gallons of water before recondition- 
 ing is necessary. This size Softener 
 would, therefore, provide a sufficient 
 supply of soft water for one month, 
 while if size MD-32 were used, the 
 Softener would have to be recondi- 
 tioned once every three weeks.

 V K AUTOMATIC 
 =IX. WATER SYSTEMS 
 
 “Kompleat’”? Home Water System 
 
 The V-K ‘‘Kompleat’’ automatic water system is 
 an electric driven shallow well unit suitable for de- 
 livering water from well, spring or any other source 
 of supply where the vertical lift is not more than 
 22 feet. 
 
 This unit is especially adapted to suburban 
 homes, country estates, farms or wherever water 
 under pressure is desired. It is also used for deliver- 
 ing rain water from cisterns for soft water supply. 
 It is entirely automatic in operation. 
 
 V-K water systems are made in a wide range of 
 sizes, pump capacity ranging from 150 to 1000 gal- 
 lons per hour and horizontal or vertical tank ranging 
 from 20 to 1500 gallons. 
 
 The outstanding feature of V-K pumps is the slow 
 speed at which they operate to deliver their rated 
 capacity. V-K slow speed pumps last a life-time. 
 
 V K DEEP WELL 
 = WATER SYSTEMS 
 
 Style ‘‘G’’ is an electric driven 
 deep well automatic water supply sys- 
 tem suitable for delivering water from 
 drilled wells. V-K deep well pumps 
 are made in a large number of sizes 
 —their capacity ranges from 120 to 
 1000 gallons per hour and they are 
 used in connection with the wells 
 where the water level exceeds 22 ft. 
 
 but is not more than 325 feet from 
 the surface. 
 
 V-K deep well systems are entirely 
 automatic in operation, automatically 
 maintaining a pressure of 50 lbs. in 
 the pneumatic tank, or proper water 
 level in the open elevated tank with 
 which they are used. They are belt

 V K AUTOMATIC 
 ve WATER SOFTENERS 
 
 V-K automatic water 
 softeners are made in a 
 number of different types 
 and sizes suitable for any 
 household requirements. 
 
 The principle of the 
 V-K softener is very sim- 
 ple—the softener con- 
 tains a sufficient quantity 
 * of special treated natural 
 mineral to last indefinite- 
 ly. City water is passed 
 thru this mineral which 
 removes absolutely all the hardness and leaves the 
 water pure, clean and velvety soft. 
 
 This softener automatically reconditions itself— 
 that is, when the mineral tends to become inactive, 
 a solution of brine is passed thru it, bringing the 
 mineral back to its original state. 
 
 V-K softeners do not allow hard water to enter the 
 soft water service lines. There is absolutely no 
 
 chance for a mixture of hard and soft water. 
 
 V-K automatic softeners are also furnished with a reserve 
 soft water storage tank which insures an ample supply of 
 zero soft water all the time, even during the reconditioning 
 period. When desired, V-K automatic softeners are enclosed 
 in an attractive cabinet which conceals the mechanisms and 
 make a very neat appearing unit. 
 
 V K SEMI-AUTOMATIC 
 r WATER SOFTENERS 
 
 Type ‘“‘A” Automatic Water 
 Softener 
 
 Type “SSA” Semi-Automatic Water Softener 
 
 V-K softeners are also made in the semi-automatic and 
 hand-operated type. Type ‘‘SA’’ semi-automatie softener 
 illustrated is the nearest approach to the automatic softener 
 ever built, the only difference being that in the automatic 
 softener the brine is automatically injected into the mineral 
 bed thru valves controlled by a meter, while in the semi-auto- 
 matic it is admitted thru hand-controlled valves. 
 
 The time required to recondition this softener is practically 
 negligible as it takes just a minute to operate the two handy 
 valves which are so conveniently arranged that even a child 
 ean easily operate them. 
 
 V-K softeners are made in two hand-operated types, known 
 as type ‘‘M’’ and.‘‘V’’ type in addition to the semi-auto- 
 matic type ‘‘SA’’ illustrated.

Penberthy Automatic Cellar Drainer 
 
 Made by 
 PENBERTHY INJECTOR COMPANY 
 
 1242 HOLDEN AVE., 
 Products 
 
 On this page is illustrated and described but one of 
 many products made by this company—the Penberthy Auto- 
 matie Cellar Drainer—a device that for years has proved 
 its usefulness and efficiency, when installed in the base- 
 ment of buildings, in removing seepage, flood or back water 
 from points below the natural drainage level of sewer, 
 
 Other Penberthy products are: Automatic and Auto- 
 Positive Injectors, ‘‘XL-96,’’ Swimming Pool Heater, ‘‘XL- 
 96’’ Ejector, Water Gages, Water Heaters, Oil and Grease 
 Cups, Air Cocks, Priming Cups, Carburetors, Reatomizers, 
 Radio Products, Oil Burners, etc. 
 
 Advantages 
 The Penberthy Automatic Cellar Drainer operates by city water 
 pressure and is compactly constructed to occupy the least possible space. 
 It is entirely automatic and requires no attention after installation. 
 All working parts are above water—no slime or corrosion to in- 
 terfere with operation. 
 
 A foot valye in the strainer seals suction pipe when the drainer 
 stops working, holding all water in the pipe, so that it is always primed 
 ready to start instantly. Also prevents flooding of cellars if for any 
 reason the water pressure is insufficient to operate the ejector. 
 
 Operating valve opens and closs instantly by action of water pressure. 
 
 No leather washers are used as leather dries and warps, causing 
 serious leaks. 
 
 With exception of copper float, it is mad entirely of brass. 
 
 The combination pressure water strainer and union furnished 
 with every drainer (See letter A, cut No. 383) obviates the 
 necessity of purchasing a union and makes it possible to clean 
 strainer thus preventing the drainer from becoming clogged 
 with dirt and refuse, 
 
 Special Features 
 
 A I—Patented lever and link action ad- 
 justable to different water pressures, 
 shows float to be nearly submerged 
 before valve opens, and gives a pop 
 to the opening avoiding any dead 
 center trouble. 
 
 F—Long lever increases operating range 
 to 100 pounds. 
 
 G—Rubber shock absorbers to project 
 lever and stem sasembly from float 
 impact. 
 
 H—Float operates drainer automatically. 
 J—Hjector below water level eliminates 
 all suction and priming trouble. 
 K—Small throat protectd against dirt 
 
 by strainer, 
 
 L—Improved and patented ejector of 
 high efficiency using minimum water 
 pressure. 
 
 M—Emergency foot valve to prevent 
 water from coming into cellar, also 
 holds delivery pipe full of water 
 when ejector shuts off, 
 
 N—A pressure gage can be esaily at- 
 tached by removing valve body plug 
 which is provided with a % pipe 
 thread, 
 
 O—Pipe thread used, making it con- 
 venient for attaching air chamber if 
 necessary. 
 
 P—Improved bevel seat, bronze valves, 
 interchangeable without being ground 
 into a special body. 
 
 Q—Patented packing box gives large 
 Rody of packing but eliminates fric- 
 ion. 
 
 It—Rotary Valve reduces all stem pack- 
 ing friction and trouble. 
 
 S—The movement has only one point 
 of friction, Rotary packing movement 
 is based upon natural unchanging 
 laws. No springs. - Movement simple 
 and unaffected by dirt. 
 
 U—Reguires least floor or sump space 
 —patented ffoat ‘‘built around suc- 
 tion tube’’ construction. 
 
 V—Both ends of brass tube. threaded 
 outside—no possibility of eracking or 
 plitting. 
 
 X—Legs holding strainer about dirt 
 Which may accumulate in bottom of 
 sump. 
 
 Y—Both ejector jets removable for re- 
 placing or changing. 
 
 Z—Strainer of large surplus area. 
 
 M ty ¥ 
 x z 
 
 A—Strainer cutches all dirt and elimi- 
 nates valve seat leaks and choked 
 ejectors jets, also serves as pipe union. 
 
 B—Valve Seats protected against dirt 
 by strainer in water supply pipe. 
 
 C—Bronze Valves give long service. 
 
 D—Closing valve is positive, avoids 
 waste of pressure water but not sud- 
 den enough to cause water-hammer, 
 
 Installation and Operation 
 
 The sump or pit may be constructed of cement, 
 
 : brick, sewer ¢ i 
 pipe, or any other suitable material, eek. arom 
 
 The compactness of the drainer requir 
 only a very small sump, although it is good to have it a little fapeer tinal 
 
 is actually necessary, especially in depth to allow dirt to settle below 
 strainer. The pit should be placed so that all surplus water will Bae os

 The drainer Valve (C) is normally im a closed position, 
 
 in the sump it lifts the float as the water rises 
 
 (L) until sufficient water has accumulat 
 
 cause the buoyancy of the float to open the valve (c) thus starting the sone 
 (F). The ejector pumps rapidly until the level of water in the sump is 
 iowered to a point where the float (L) descending with the water, automatically 
 closes the valve (ce). The cellar Drainer now remains inactive, using no pressure 
 water until the sump has again filled with seepage water. The complete Cellar 
 Drainer is below the floar level yet all parts are easily and instantly accessible 
 without disconnecting pipes or removing drainer, All working parts are located 
 at the top within easy reach.

 Products 
 
 Chief products are: 
 (1) Kaustine Super-Septic Tanks 
 (2) Kaustine Chemical Toilets 
 
 Principal Uses 
 
 Where running water is available the Kaus- 
 tine Super-Septic Tank provides a complete 
 sewage disposal system, receiving the wastes 
 from the home and disposing of them with 
 little or no attention or upkeep. The sewage 
 disposal of the modest cottage, large country F 
 club, factory or entire community can be caredmcer Ff 
 for by this system. mI 
 
 The Kaustine Chemical Toilet provides a 
 sanitary, convenient and comfortable indoor 
 toilet for home, camp, school or factory, A 
 water system is not required, 
 
 Description of Products 
 
 Due to the peculiar design embodied in this 
 sewage disposal tank, the sewage undergoes 
 a process of bacterial (anaerobic) decomposi- 
 tion and gasification which breaks down the 
 solids and leaves a liquid for final disposal. 
 The bacterial action in this sewage disposal 
 system is completely due to the positive but 
 slow movement of the sewage through it. 
 More complete liquefaction, less scum and 
 sludge and a clearer and more easily-assimi- 
 lated effluent are the results of these superior 
 features of design. The danger of contami- 
 nation of underground sources of water sup- 
 ply is reduced to such a degree that health 
 authorities throughout the country endorse 
 the Kaustine method of sewage disposal. 
 
 The Kaustine Standard Toilet is a com- 
 plete sewage disposal system. It consists of 
 an IRON Tank

 Types and Sizes 
 
 For installations where economy is necessary we manufac- 
 ture a steel Septic Tank. This is made only in the smaller 
 domestic sizes. The Super-Septic is recommended and made 
 in all sizes to meet the needs of the home, club, factory or 
 community. The Kaustine Super-Septic Tank is easy and 
 inexpensive to install—no operating expense—it rarely requires

Chem-o-let Self-Draining Chemical Indoor Toilets 
 
 Made by 
 
 WESTERN METAL SPECIALTY CO. 
 3020 Calhoun Place, Milwaukee, Wis. 
 
 Product: 
 
 This company manufactures the Chem-o-let Self-Draining 
 Chemical Indoor Toilet—a convenient, sanitary; indoor toilet 
 that displaces the inconvenient, unsanitary outhouse used in 
 those districts where there are no sewers. Chem-o-let is particu- 
 larly adapted for farm and suburban homes, summer cottages, 
 auto tourist camps, golf courses, ete. 
 
 Convenient and Sanitary 
 
 NO EMPTYING BY HAND—Perfectly Sanitary: 
 
 The Chem-o-let is self-draining and is thoroughly sanitary. 
 There is no disagreeable emptying by hand. The principle 
 of sewage disposal is very simple and effective. The Lav-o- 
 let chemical, mixed with water, dissolves and liquefies solids, 
 at the same time sterilizing and deodorizing contents. When 
 the large-capacity steel tank is full, it is automatically emptied 
 by means of a valve at the bottom of the tank, operated by 
 a key and control rod. Contents drain out into an old 
 bottomless barrel, buried outside, and the effluent is absorbed 
 by. the soil, 
 
 Advantages: 
 
 Chem-o-let adds to the appearance, comfort and living con- 
 ditions of any home or other place in which it is used. It 
 prevents many sicknesses and disagreeable features now asso- 
 ciated with houses having no sewage facilities. It is valuable 
 enough to be installed as a permanent fixture and low enough 
 in cost to install temporarily in districts where sewers will 
 eventually be built. 
 
 Operation: 
 
 Two cupfuls of Lav-o-let chemical are mixed with two 
 gallons of clean water and the solution is emptied into the tank. 
 One half gallon of Lav-o-let with ordinary use, will last six 
 months in a home of four to six persons at a cost of $2.50 per 
 year, or about 21 cents per month, as one treatment of solu- 
 tion lasts for four or five weeks at which time the tank is 
 automatically drained, as already described. After each drain- 
 ing (every four or five weeks) fresh chemical solution is 
 placed in the tank. 
 
 Agitator Assures Thorough Chemical Treatment 
 
 Complete chemical treatment of all deposits is assured by 
 a special automatic agitator, which is an exclusive Chem-o-let 
 feature. This agitator is in the bottom of the tank and is 
 connected to the lower side of the seat cover by means of a lorg 
 rod and swivel. As the seat cover is lifted preparatory to 
 using the Chem-o-let each time, the agitator is automatically 
 put into operation, and stirs up the contents of the tank. 
 resulting in complete and thorough chemical treatment.

 Costs Less Than Ordinary Outhouse 
 
 The total cost of a Chem-o-let installation including all 
 materials, fixtures and labor is less than the cost of an ordi- 
 nary outhouse. The cost of maintenance is only about $2.50 
 a year (for chemical),

 Chem-o-let is furnished in two styles—the only difference 
 being in the bowl. Type ‘‘A’’ has a glazed, white, vitreous 
 china bowl, and type ‘‘F’’ a steel enameled bowl.

Te-Pe-Co All-Clay Plumbing Fixtures 
 
 For Bathroom, Kitchen and Laundry 
 
 Manufactured by 
 
 THE TRENTON POTTERIES CC. 
 
 Trenton, N. J. 
 
 Complete Line 
 
 The Te-pe-co line does not only consist of a few 
 baths, lavatories, closet combinations, sinks and laundry 
 trays, but also includes every type of fixture required 
 in apartments, hotels, schools, office buildings, factories 
 and hospitals. 
 
 Vitreous China and Porcelain 
 
 Te-pe-co fixtures are made of vitreous china and porcelain, 
 which are the only materials that will withstand every test 
 required of a truly sanitary fixture. They are clay through 
 and through. No iron or other metal is used. Therefore, 
 there can be no rust, corrosion or peeling. They have the 
 same hard, glassy, white surface as the finest table china. 
 No acids, medicines or anything used in the bathroom, kitchen 
 or laundry can penetrate or stain their beautiful lustrous 
 surface. 
 
 Superior Quality 
 
 Substantiating every possible laboratory test, years of actual 
 service has proven that Te-pe-co fixtures are of superior 
 quality. The fact that many leading architects continue to 
 specify them for the finest buildings in the country as they 
 have for years past, is evidence of their durability. 
 
 Improved Design 
 
 In keeping with their superior quality Te-pe-co fixtures em- 
 body every refinement and improvement in design known to 
 modern day sanitation and possess many exclusive features 
 that afford greater convenience than those of the ordinary 
 
 kind. While void of ornamentation, they are, neverthe- 
 less, beautiful in their very simplicity and clean-cutness 
 of line. They combine beauty, utility and durability. 
 
 Choice of Size and Design 
 
 Te-pe-co baths, lavatories, water closets, sinks, etc., are 
 made in various patterns and sizes and offer the widest 
 latitude in choice of fixtures to meet the different building re- 
 quirements. 
 
 Trade Mark Guarantee 
 
 Te-pe-co fixtures may be identified by the makers trade 
 mark, which is indelibly stamped on every piece. It is your 
 guarantee of the highest quality backed by a manufacturer 
 who assumes all responsibility for their product and values 
 their reputation of quality for which they are renowned. 
 
 Method of Marketing 
 
 Owing to the nature of our product and the necessity of 
 careful installation by experienced men, we have found that 
 we can serve the consumer or builder best by marketing 
 through a well informed local distributor and dependable 
 plumbers. To secure Te-pe-co fixtures it is only necessary to

 or stain. Can be installed on your toilet in a few 
 minutes and easily taken off and reinstalled if you 
 move to another house or apartment.

 STAMFORD, CONN. Made By MINNEAPOLIS 
 PHILADELPHIA LOS ANGELES 
 PITTSBURGH THE CHICAGO FAUCET COMPANY DES MOINES 
 skeet 2700-2722 North Crawford Ave., Chicago KANSAS CITY, MO. 
 Products: 
 
 This company manufactures Faucets for every service, sold under the trade-names of QUATURN, a quick- 
 compression faucet; and SEL-KLO, a self-closing faucet. Either of them is readily convertible to the opposite type 
 without disturbing the faucet body. Also manufactures Drinking Fountains and Bubblers. 
 
 Advantages: 
 
 In compression type faucets the Seat 
 Washer is usually the first part to wear out, 
 then the Seat, next the Compression Thread 
 on stem and in body. In ordinary faucets, 
 the Seat is usually a little ridge of metal 
 machined on body casting of faucet. When 
 this is worn the faucet must be scrapped. 
 
 In Chicago Faucets—Quaturn and Sel-Klo 
 —the seat is not a part of the body—it is 
 not even fastened to the body, but is a 
 stamping from sheet phosphor bronze which 
 slips into its place on the end of the sleeve 
 just as easily as the seat washer goes on 
 the end of the stem. 
 
 The Thread is inside a sleeve which is 
 economically and easily replaced when worn 
 out. 
 
 All wearing parts are renewable, and form 
 a standardized unit easily and economically 
 obtained from the plumber or supply house. 
 
 Faucet Body: 
 
 The faucet body is merely a rugged shell 
 or container for the reception of the work- 
 ing unit and is made in many attractive 
 designs and- finishes to meet every faucet 
 need. There is no wear of any kind on the 
 body; consequently it will never have to be 
 replaced. It is good for the life of the house. 
 
 Handles: 
 
 Handles are furnished in various designs and materials 
 individual tastes. 
 
 to meet all requirements and 
 
 Close with the Pressure: 
 
 Quaturn Faucets close with the pressure—not against 
 
 People who live in high-pressure territories, or 
 where an occasional high fire pressure is applied, say 
 that they will not use a quick compression faucet that

 This is the standardized working 
 unit of Quaturn and “Sel-Klo 
 faucets. Bodies vary according to 
 use. Handles vary according to 
 taste. The unit is always the same. 
 
 Easily Convertible: 
 
 As one working unit fits both it is a simple 
 matter to convert the Quaturn (quick com- 
 pression faucet) into the Sel-Klo (self-clos- 
 ing faucet) and experienced contractors and 
 builders will quickly recognize this advantage. 
 
 Standardized Unit 
 Construction: 
 
 Chicago faucets—Quaturn and Sel-Klo— 
 are standardized—one working unit fits them 
 all. In large buildings reserve units are 
 earried in stock (like electric light bulbs) 
 and when a faucet leaks a reserve unit is 
 put in place and the leaky unit held until 
 convenient to replace it.

 What Alberene Stone Is: 
 
 Alberene Stone is a natural quarried stone— 
 not a composition or an imitation—with the 
 time-proof permanence of the hills from which 
 it comes. It is a pleasing light gray in color, 
 blending harmoniously with any surroundings. 
 It is quarried in large blocks, sawed into slabs, 
 rubbed to a satin-like finish, and fabricated and 
 assembled in many forms for many purposes. 
 It is hard and dense—it is non-absorbent to moisture, non- 
 staining, resistant to all chemical action—it is non-chipping, 
 non-flaking, non-sealing. 
 
 Alberene Stone Laundry Trays and Sinks: 
 
 These fixtures are made up from selected slabs of 
 Alberene Stone, with tongue-and-groove joints held by con- 
 cealed bolts and water-proof. cement, in units having the 
 solidity and permanence of one-piece eonstruction. There 
 are absolutely no cracks or crevices in which dirt or germs 
 might lodge. Being absolutely non-absorbent and having a 
 smooth surface easily kept clean, they are always dry, 
 odorless and absolutely sanitary. Simplicity of line and 
 correct proportions make them attractive and equally 
 adapted to bungalow, apartment or mansion. 
 
 Fittings, Heights, Etc.: 
 
 Alberene Stone Trays and Sinks can be had with several 
 different styles of legs or standards. Standard heights 16” 
 and 24”; special adjustable legs can be furnished if specified.

 of the standard styles in these can be provided by the in-

 Garbage Can Receptacles, and Radiator Enclosure 
 Cabinets. 
 
 Reasonably Priced 
 
 The Columbia Metal Box Company has standard- 
 ized on a few sizes and styles which they produce 
 in large quantities thereby enabling them to sell 
 these cabinets at a price very close to that of the 
 wood cabinet. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 Unlike the wooden cabinet, there are no glued 
 joints to warp and crack open. It is sanitary in 
 every respect. The baked on white enamel finish will 
 retain its lustrous whiteness for years undimmed 
 and unmarred by moisture attacks or frequent clean- 
 ing with soap and water. 
 
 Construction 
 
 These cabinets should not be confused with light 
 gauge steel cabinets. The cabinet proper is stamped 
 of heavy No. 20 U. 8S. Gauge Furniture Steel; the 
 door is stamped of No. 16 U. S. Gauge Furniture 
 Steel. There are no seams or cracks. All joints are 
 electrically welded.

“White-Steel” Medicine Cabinets 
 
 Made by 
 
 “WHITE-STEEL” SANITARY FURNITURE CO. 
 Grand Rapids, Mich. 
 
 The Original 
 and Only 
 
 The choice of medicine cabinets for the well ap- 
 pointed modern home should be given the same con- 
 sideration as the selection of fine plumbing fixtures. 
 For medicine cabinets should be in perfect harmony 
 with such equipment, embodying the same fine fea- 
 tures of sanitation, lasting beauty, and great use- 
 fulness. Choose them with equal discrimination. 
 
 The Ultra Attractiveness and Construction of 
 *‘White-Steel’’ Cabinets Is Everlasting 
 
 The exceptional beauty, sound construction and 
 exclusive sanitary features of ‘‘ White-Steel’’ Medi- 
 cine Cabinets make them worthy of careful considera- 
 tion. Add to this the fact that through a secret pro- 
 cess their ultra attractiveness and construction is 
 made practically ever-lasting;—then it is easy to 
 understand why ‘‘White-Steel Cabinets are chosen 
 by all who build for permanent beauty, convenience, 
 sanitation and true economy. 
 
 In the Bathroom, of course. But in the Lavatory 
 
 and Over the Kitchen Sink as Well 
 
 Many builders recommend the installation of 
 ““White-Steel’’ Cabinets in Kitchens and lavatories 
 
 and builders. 
 
 Materials Used 
 
 Mirrors 
 
 fixtures. 
 
 Ventilation 
 
 an important factor. 
 
 Other Products 
 
 In addition to the ‘‘White-Steel’’? Medicine Cabinets illustrated and described on this and following page, this company manu- 
 factures Mirrors; Shelves; Towel Baskets; Racks and Bars; Soap Dishes and Holders; Toothbrush Holders; Toilet Paper Holders and 
 Cabinets; Grab Rails; Shower Curtain Rods; Hooks for various purposes; Door Stops; and every accessory to equip bathrooms of 
 the most modern type. 
 
 Structural Superiorities 
 Seamless Construction 
 
 The entire cabinet is of die made seamless construction, is electrically welded throughout, 
 and is strong and firmly built. 
 
 A Product of a 
 
 Secret Process 
 
 as well as bathrooms. They know from experience 
 that the added convenience and the touch of beauti- 
 ful lasting construction they impart, repays their 
 cost many times over, both in satisfaction to the 
 home owner and in the actual sales value of the 
 house itself. 
 
 Henzin Metal—The Base of All ‘‘White-Steel’’ 
 Medicine Cabinets 
 
 The dampness and moisture that occur with sud- 
 den temperature changes, particularly in the bath- 
 
 _ room, are elements that ordinary steel enamel work 
 
 cannot successfully meet. They are bound to form 
 rust on the metal base which causes the enamel to 
 lose its grip, seale off, discolor, crack and peal. 
 
 Henzin Metal, the base of all ‘‘ White-Steel’’ Cab- 
 inets, completely overcomes the moisture problem. It 
 is Rust Resisting, a product of a secret process that 
 cannot be duplicated or successfully imitated. Six 
 coats of ‘‘White-Steel’? Enamel, each baked sepa- 
 rately on this wonderful base, provides a finish that 
 is as permanent as it is beautiful. Expansion or 
 contraction has no effect on the finish or construction 
 of these cabinets. 
 
 Standard and Special Types 
 
 “¢White-Steel’’ Medicine Cabinets are built in three types—Inset, (to recess) Wall 
 (to attach to face of wall) and Corner cabinets (to fit in corner)—and in styles and 
 sizes to meet every architectural requirement. Standard styles and dimensions are shown 
 on the following page. 
 
 We maintain a very efficient consulting and designing service which is free to contractors 
 
 The Henzin Metal used for ‘‘ White-+Steel’’ structures are .050 to .250 gauge (approxi- 
 mately 1/16 to 4 inch) except for the backs which are .025. Our dies and shop practice 
 require a certain gauge to be used for a specific purpose, not permitting the substitution 
 of cheaper or lighter gauge sheets to lessen construction costs. 
 
 Mirrors are of first quality, plain, or with a sharp, steep bevel. Backs are properly 
 silvered and are not affected by varying temperatures or room moisture. 
 
 Shelves are of polished plate glass, %4-inch thick. 
 1—Adjustable lock pivot hinge (patent applied for). Doors can always be properly 
 
 centered thus eliminating wear. : 
 2—Mounted white ceramic demountable knob to match the white handles of plumbing 
 
 38—Shear clips provide easy installation in variable openings. 
 
 4—Heavily reinforced at anchorage. 
 5—No floating shelf supports. Supports are spot-welded—cannot become loose or lost. 
 
 Step-in door and step-in door’ jamb providing sufficient, and invisible ventilation— 
 
 Demoutable mirrors that can be easily installed by any competent workman. (Should 
 replacement of accidental damage be necessary at any time).

Standard Code of Installation of Warm Air Furnaces (Cont’d) 
 
 Note 8. Use no warm air pipe less than 8 inches in diameter. 
 If a basement warm air pipe figures greater area than any stand- 
 ard commercial size then the next larger size shall be used. 
 
 Note 9. It is understood in using the above valves for deter- 
 mining basement warm air pipe areas, that these pipes should run 
 comparatively straight and that they should not be over 10 to 12 
 feet in length. Sharp turns and long pipes should have extra 
 capacity. 
 
 Note 10. These formulae are for 70° inside temperature with 
 zero temperature outside. For a temperature of 10° below zero, add 
 10% to the capacity of each pipe. 
 
 Note 11. The value of 800 (used in cubic contents) is for an 
 estimated air change of one room volume per hour. If it is desired 
 to provide for 14% room volume use the figure 600. If for 2 room 
 volumes use the figure 400. “The factors 9, 6 and 5 in sections 1, 
 2 and 3, are calculated for a register air temperature of 175 degrees.”

 (c) When side collars are used the casing top must be 
 of sufficient height so that the largest warm air pipe can 
 
 be taken from side without ovaling. In no case shall a 
 distance less than eight (8”) inches be maintained be- 
 tween the top of any furnace and the top of casing or 
 bonnet. 
 
 (d) Any furnace, the casing top of which shall come 
 within sixteen (16”) inches of a combustible floor, ceiling 
 or joist, shall be protected by a metal shield, extending 
 not less than eighteen (18”) inches beyond the casing of 
 said furnace. This shield shall be suspended at least two 
 inches below wood work, allowing free air space between 
 shield and woodwork. No furnace casing or top, coming 
 nearer than six (6”) inches of ceiling or joists shall be 
 allowed in any case. 
 
 (e) Openings for side casing collars shall be cut into 
 the casing top, so that the tops of all openings are on a 
 level. Casing collars shall be fitted into place with a 
 proper flange, or bead on the outside and drawn up on the 
 inside, making a dust-tight joint. All collars shall be of 
 same size as the warm air pipes to which they are to be 
 connected. 
 
 (f) Brick set, cement or hollow tile casings shall be 
 constructed as follows: Walls shall be not less than 
 eight (8”) inches in thickness, and shall be constructed 
 air tight. Rectangular casing shall be, with least inside 
 dimensions, the same as that of the portable casing of a 
 corresponding size of furnace. Walls shall be carried to the 
 same heighth as the portable walls, allowing not less than 
 eight (8”) inches between the top of the furnace and the 
 bottom of the top cover. After placing the collars for the 
 warm air pipes, continue the masonry up even with the 
 top of the collars, lay spacing rods of bar iron on edge 
 or angle irons across the furnace top, cover these with sheet 
 iron, cover the sheet iron with masonry and run the side 
 walls four (4”) inches above the masonry bed. A gal- 
 vanized iron casing bonnet may be used on brick set 
 furnaces, 
 
 Provision shall be made in the walls for a manhole to © 
 give ingress to heater. 
 
 Warm Air Pipes in Basement 
 
 Section 5. (a) All warm air pipes shall be made of 
 bright tin not lighter than IC, or galvanized iron. Side 
 seams shall be locked seams. All joints shall be either 
 double seamed or lapped not less than one and one-quarter 
 (1144”) inehes and such joints shall be beaded and soldered 
 or riveted. All pipes shall be properly secured to ceiling 
 or joist. No solder or riveted joint is required where round 
 pipe slips over the casing collar. Any pipe twelve (12”) 
 inches or greater in diameter shall not be made of material 
 lighter than IX tin or No. 26 U. 8. Standard Gauge gal- 
 vanized iron. 
 
 Note 12. It is recommended that all warm air pipes in the base- 
 ment shall have an upward pitch of not less than one (1”) inch per

 between the outer and inner walls of all such pipes and 
 fittings of all kinds, styles and descriptions; such pipes, 
 heads, boots and other fittings to be of the styles, or equal 
 to those accepted by the National Board of Fire Under- 
 writers. 
 
 All pipes and fittings either single or double must be 
 secured firmly in place by lugs or straps attached to the 
 outer walls of stacks and fittings, and no nails shall be 
 driven through these stacks or fittings at any point. No 
 wall pipes or fittings shall be used which depend wholly 
 on soldered joints. The various members shall be so 
 made that all joints are locked and soldered and the several 
 members shall be attached to each other with slip joints, 
 which are, for the purpose intended, air tight. 
 
 Registers 
 
 Section 7. (a) When baseboard or wall registers are 
 used, they shall be properly and permanently attached to 
 the stack head in such a manner that will prevent any leak- 
 age of air between the head and the register. 
 
 (b) Floor registers shall be provided either with register 
 borders, or double register boxes of tin or gavanized iron 
 with an air space of not less than five-sixteenths (5-16”) of 
 an inch between inner and outer boxes. 
 
 (ec) Registers for warm air and warm air pipes shall not 
 be located in outside walls. The warm air registers in the 
 various rooms shall be located in or near the inside walls 
 in all cases. 
 
 Air Supply to Furnace 
 
 Section 8. (a) The air supply to furnace for warm air 
 heating plants may be taken from outside or from within 
 the building or may be taken partially from outside and par- 
 tially from within. In no case, however, shall air be 
 supplied to any furnace from any basement or furnace 
 room. 
 
 (b) The cold air intake or return where air is taken 
 from Within the building shall have a net area throughout 
 its entire length of not less than the combined net area 
 of all warm air pipes leading from the furnace. This 
 may be maintained in one or more ducts. 
 
 (ec) When the cold air supply is taken wholly from the 
 outside of the building the supply duct at its most con- 
 tracted area must equal o rexceed eighty (80%) per cent 
 of the combined area of all warm air pipes leading from the 
 furnace. 
 
 (d) Cold air ducts shall be constructed of metal, tile 
 or other incombustible material having smooti inner surface 
 and shall maintain a constant net area throughout their 
 length and shall be made air tight. Where a boot or shoe 
 is connected to the casing at the base, the opening shall 
 not extend higher than a line on the level of the grate of 
 the furnace. The width of the shoe shall be of proper 
 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
 
 355 
 
 measurement to make the area at least equal to that of the 
 round or square pipe to which it is connected. 
 
 (e) Wherever the space between joists is used to convey 
 cold air over head, the joists and all wooden surfaces be- 
 tween such joists shall be lined with metal and a sheet 
 metal pan constructed to extend not less than six (6”) 
 inches below said joists. The connection from this pan 
 to the boot or shoe shall be made of galvanized iron not 
 lighter than No. 26 U. S. Standard Gauge, and shall have a 
 transition collar, the top area of which shall be at least 
 10% greater than the area of the connecting pipe. 
 
 (d) The cold air face or faces shall be made of wood, 
 or metal. When set in floors the top of same shall be 
 flush with floor. Where cold air face is placed in a seat 
 or side wall (whether furnished by owner, general con- 
 tractor or furnace contractor) the open work of face must 
 extend to within at least one (1”) inch of the floor line. 
 
 The free area of cold air faces shall be at least 10% 
 in excess of the free area of the duct or ducts to which 
 they are connected. 
 
 Note 13. The effective area of a vertical cold air face lies within 
 twelve (12”) inches of the floor line, hence, the capacity of any ver- 
 tical cold air face shall be determined by multiplying the base line 
 in inches by not to exceed twelve (12”) inches in height and deduct- 
 ing for the grills or cross bars. 
 
 Smoke Pipes 
 
 Section 9. (a) The smoke pipe shall be as short 
 and direct as consistent with the location of the furnace. 
 It shall be made of either black or galvanized iron not 
 lighter than No. 24 U. S. Standard gauge, and of the full 
 size of the collar on the furnace throughout its entire 
 length. It must have no other opening for attaching any 
 fire place, stove, range, water heater, gas or ventilating 
 connection. It shall be lock seamed or riveted; all joints 
 shall lap not less than one and one-half (114%4”) inches and 
 it shall be rigidly secured. Cast iron smoke pipe may be 
 used. 
 
 (b) Where the smoke pipe enters the flue, a thimble 
 shall be cemented into the flue and the connections thereto 
 made air tight. Should any smoke pipe come within 
 eighteen (18”) inches of any combustible material, such 
 combustible material must be covered with asbestos paper 
 and a metal shield so fastened that a two inch air space 
 exists between this shield and the combustible material. 
 This shield shall be no less in size than twice the diameter 
 of the smoke pipe and of sufficient length to cover the 
 wood at all points. 
 
 (ec) No smoke pipe shall project through any external 
 wall or window. 
 
 Pipeless or One Pipe Furnaces 
 
 Section 10. (a) When but one duplex grating is used 
 for both warm air and cold air in a so-called pipeless 
 furnace, the area of the cold air intake shall be at least 
 equal to the area of the warm air outlet of the grating. 
 Art. 4 See. 4, relative to casing shall not govern when this 
 type of furnace is installed, but the following specification 
 shall be followed: The inner and outer casing of this 
 type of furnace may be made of either black or galvanized 
 iron not lighter than No. 26 U. S. Standard Gauge. A 
 uniform air space shall be maintained at all points between 
 the inner and outer casing. In no case shall the top of the 
 furnace be allowed closer than twelve (12”) inches to any 
 ceiling or joists above the furnace. 
 
 (b) Where joists are cut to accommodate this furnace, 
 headers shall be put in and braced so as not to weaken 
 the structure of the floor above the furnace. 
 
 (¢) Article No. 3 for determining area of warm air pipe 
 shall not govern in figuring a pipeless furnace. 
 
 (d) Where one warm air register face is used and sepa- 
 rate face or faces for cold air supply are used, then Article 
 No. 4, Sections 5 and 8 shall apply. 
 
Andes Furnaces — ‘For Better Heating”’ 
 
 Made by 
 ANDES RANGE AND FURNACE CORP. 
 
 GENEVA, NEW YORK 
 
 Products 
 
 The products of this company 
 are Ranges and Warm Air Fur- 
 naces. The latter are described 
 and illustrated on this page and 
 on opposite page. Information 
 regarding Andes Ranges will be 
 mailed on request. 
 
 Look at the Pictures 
 
 You have only to look at the 
 illustrations on this page to 
 realize that here is a furnace that 
 is radically different from the 
 usual type of warm (or hot) air 
 furnace. You will learn pres- 
 ently why the Andes Furnace is 
 purposely designed so that its 
 height is but a little more than 
 half that of other furnaces; but first we want to say 
 a few words about 
 
 Humidity 
 
 Most warm (or hot) air furnaces supply air that 
 is lacking in humidity—that is to say the air is rela- 
 tively dry. Dry air has a tremendous capacity for 
 absorbing moisture, and if the air supplied by the 
 furnace is low in humidity every breath we take results 
 in a loss of moisture from the membranes of the nose 
 and throat which becomes dry and irritable and less 
 able to cope with the germs of disease. The skin of 
 our bodies, also, is robbed of its moisture, and so rapidly 
 that we feel cold even when the thermometer tells us 
 that the room temperature is 75 degrees. The furniture 
 dries out and falls apart and house plants wither and 
 die. 
 
 The few quarts of water you put in the water pan 
 of the average furnace are not sufficient to humidify 
 the air. Four to twelve gallons of water (depending 
 on the size of the furnace) must be evaporated daily 
 in order to give the air its proper percentage of 
 humidity, and as you increase the humidity (within 
 certain limits) you save fuel, for air at a temperature 
 of 66 degrees with 70 percent humidity gives one the 
 same feeling of warmth as air at 74 degrees with only 
 10 percent humidity. Andes Furnaces (Type BRN) 
 are designed and, built to evaporate the quantity of 
 water required to properly humidify the air—4 to 12 
 gallons daily. 
 
 Warm Air Rises 
 
 It does not move sideways nor downwards except 
 under pressure. Hence the more nearly vertical you 
 make a pipe carrying warm air the more rapid will 
 be the circulation of the air and the greater the heat- 
 ing capacity of the furnace. This is why we build a 
 low furnace. Note the pictures at the top of this page. 
 
 For further details and 
 
 = literature, write to: 
 
 Above (on the left) you see the ordi- 
 nary type of furnace, its top nearly 
 touching the basement ceiling. The air 
 pipes must be run almost horizontal and 
 as a result the warm air moves slug- 
 gishly and loses much of its heat before 
 it reaches the rooms above. On the right 
 is the low Type BRN Andes Furnace 
 with the air pipe at an angle of 45° 
 
 They show you why Andes Type BRM Furnaces give 
 greater warmth with a lower consumption of fuel than 
 any furnace you can buy. 
 
 Write for Booklet 
 
 The whole story of the Andes Type BRN Furnace 
 cannot be told here, but we shall be glad to send you 
 on request a booklet that describes and illustrates all 
 the unique features of this furnace which has revolu- 
 tionized the art of warm air heating. Some of the 
 things described in this booklet are the Dust Remover, 
 which sucks the dust from the ash pit up the chimney 
 when the grate is shaken, so that it will not blow into 
 your face when you open the ash pit door; and the 
 Tongue and Groove Joints, with asbestos fibre gaskets, 
 hat make every joint absolutely gas tight.

 ANDES FURNACES—TYPE MDN 
 
 The illustration at right shows an Andes Type MDN Furnace with 
 casing removed. This furnace is made in three styles, as illustrated above, 
 and each style is made in five sizes, insuring a size exactly suited to the 
 requirements of any house, large or small. 
 
 Note the 12 Points of Superiority enumerated under illustration at right. 
 These structural features result in a furnace that is highly efficient and a 
 wonderful economizer of fuel, justifying the Andes slogan: “Better Heating 
 for Less Money.” 
 
 Andes Furnaces are adapted for burning hard coal, soft coal, coke or 
 wood. They are lower in height than most furnaces and hence, even when 
 installed in low ceiling basements, it is possible to give a good pitch to the 
 warm air pipes which results in the heated air rising more quickly and in 
 greater volume. 
 
 Complete data on sizes, dimensions and capacities will be gladly furnished 
 on request.

 it with a degree of efficiency and economy that is startling. 
 
 High in Efficiency—Low in Price 
 
 Cole’s Oil-Craft Furnace is endorsed and recommended 
 by the Chicago Oil Burner Association. It gives better 
 results with any type of oil burner than is possible with 
 a hot air furnace not especially designed to use this labor- 
 saving fuel. In the bitterest winter weather it sends up 
 to the most distant rooms a steady volume of comforting 
 heat, with just the right degree of humidity. Best of all 
 its cost is low—low enough so that you can figure on in- 
 stalling it in any house you build. Write today—now—for

 The Red Cross Empire Furnace 
 
 A Furnace which would give maximum heating efficiency 
 at minimum ecost of installation and upkeep was the 
 dominant idea,in designing and building the Red Cross 
 Empire. 
 
 The Red Cross Empire embodies in its construction ev ery 
 feature essential to “Make Good Heating Certain,” but it 
 is devoid of expensive frills 
 and novelties. It is a distinct 
 help in the rental or selling 
 value of any home. 
 
 The result is that it has 
 established an enviable reputa- 
 tion for genuine heating ef- 
 ficiency, fuel economy and 
 durability second to none. 
 
 An abundant supply of 
 warm air is delivered by the 
 Red Cross Empire Furnace be- 
 cause of its extra large radiat- 
 ing surface. The size and 
 weight of its various parts 
 are carefully proportioned to 
 give maximum radiation with 
 a resulting fuel economy. 
 
 Red Cross Empire with Steel 
 Radiator-Castings only. 
 
 Construction 
 
 Only the highest grade of tested metals are used in 
 Empire Furnace construction. Each section is carefuily 
 fitted to insure quick and easy assembly. Deep cup joints 
 where the fire pot, combustion dome and radiator join 
 together allow for thorough and permanent cementing—the 
 Empire is absolutely dust-proof and gas-tight. The ash pit, 
 fire pot, grates and combustion dome in the Empire are all 
 sturdily built ; extra heavy where needed and of the correct 
 shape to insure utmost heating efficiency. The casings are 
 eorrect in proportion to the size of furnace, neither too 
 large nor too small, giving the correct free air passage. 
 
 Sizes 
 
 The Red Cross Wmpire is made in a complete range 
 of sizes to fit all ordinary warm air heating requirements. 
 It is made with fire pots from 18 to 26 inches in diameter ; 
 with Steel or Cast Iron Radiator and in High or Low Con- 
 struction Type. It is equipped to burn all fuels including 
 wood for which a flat wood grate is furnished extra. 
 
 Steel or Cast 
 Radiator 
 
 The selection of either 
 a Steel or Cast Radiator is 
 largely a matter of pref- 
 erence and buying habits. 
 The Empire is furnished 
 with either type and both 
 styles are famous for their 
 large radiating capacity 
 and the _ efficiency with 
 which they deliver heat. 
 
 All possible heat units 
 are extracted from the pro- 
 ducts of combustion in the 
 Empire radiator — this 
 means fuel economy.

The NEW VICTOR Boiler Plate Furnace 
 
 With Intercepting Heat Conveyors—A Greatly Improved Type of Radiator 
 Manufactured By 
 
 HALL-NEAL FURNACE COMPANY 
 
 1322-26 N. Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis

 greater 
 
 Victor Boiler Plate Furnaces with Intercepting Heat Con- 
 veyors—a new and improved type of radiator—have much 
 greater heating efficiency than furnaces of conventional 
 design, making savings in fuel consumption which will pay 
 the cost of the furnace over and over during its lifetime. 
 
 This increased heating efficiency also causes much more 
 rapid air movement, greatly improving ventilation. The very 
 great fuel saving obtained means less firing and very littie 
 attention to regulation, and less ashes to be removed. 
 
 Greatly Improved Radiator 
 
 The greatly improved radiator design of the new Victor 
 Furnace—called Intercepting Heat Conveyors (patented 
 January 2, 1923)—has three times the radiating surface 
 obtained by conventional designs. It eliminates obstruction 
 to air movement, and it does away with soot-clogged radia- 
 tion, because the smoke does not pass through this new 
 type radiator. 
 
 You will find the New Victor Boiler Plate Furnace the 
 most satisfactory equipment you can put into your new 
 home. We feel the utmost confidence in making this asser- 
 tion because of the great praise for the performance of this 
 furnace that has come to us from hundreds of home owners 
 now using it. The New Victor Boiler Plate Furnace is well 
 built in every detail, and it will last the lifetime of a home. 
 Many of our furnaces of similar materials and workman- 
 ship are in service now after more than 20 years of con- 
 stant use, and this new and improved design will prove more 
 durable than the old type, because of the improved radiator. 
 
 For the investor building to sell, the New Victor Boiler 
 Plate Furnace will be a great asset. This efficient heating 
 plant will help make a property sell promptly, and the New 
 Victor Boiler Plate Furnace costs no more than any other 
 good furnace. 
 
 Easy to Install 
 
 The design of the Victor Furnace makes it easy to in- 
 stall. The two section dome can be moved through any 
 stairway into a basement. Other parts, too, are easy to 
 handle. The Neal sectional casing goes together quickly, 
 and its patented joints make the casing smoke tight and 
 dust tight.

 1. Intercepting Heat Conveyors (Pat. Jan. 2, 1923) are 
 an advanced radiator design giving remarkable increases 
 in furnace efficiency. This new type radiator cannot clog 
 up with soot. 
 
 2. The Intercepting Heat Conveyors are mounted on 
 each side of the furnace simply by hanging them on welded 
 hooks. 
 
 3. The strongly reinforced flanges holding the flue sec- 
 tion to the furnace are air-tight, smoke-tight and gas-tight. 
 
 4. A heavy plate at the point of greatest fire strike 
 protects the furnace against all possibility of damage. 
 
 5. Where the flue connections pass through the furnace 
 casings, gas-tight, smoke-tight and dust-tight flanges are 
 used. 
 
 6. The flue connection provides a direct draft to start 
 a fire quickly and diving draft for greatest heating efficiency 
 when the fire is well developed. 
 
 7. A 2 inch lap joint between the two sections, 7 inches 
 below top of fire brick, insures against smoke or gas enter- 
 ing the circulating air. ‘ 
 
 8. The base ring of the NEW VICTOR Furnace is one 
 piece casting of such great strength that the furnace may 
 be mounted over a pit if desired without using a supporting 
 pillar in the pit. 
 
 9. The water pan is conveniently placed and of large size. 
 
 10. The flue damper is controlled from the front of the 
 furnace, by a simple and positive device which is easily and 
 quickly adjusted as required. 
 
 11. Lower smoke damper is to be adjusted according 
 to strength of draft and fuel used, and does not require 
 further attention. 
 
 The fire bowl is linéd with heavy fire brick, closely fitted, 
 giving an average length of service of 15 to 18 years with- 
 out replacement.

 THE ADVANTAGES OF WARM AIR HEATING 
 
 The warm air furnace is the most 
 popular heating plant for homes be- 
 cause it is less expensive to install— 
 and is more economical, convenient and 
 healthful than any other system. Low 
 first cost and economy are not the 
 most important advantages. The cold 
 air return system, an essential part of 
 every correctly. installed warm air 
 plant, maintains a gentle circulation 
 of warmed air that makes for uni- 
 formity of temperature everywhere 
 throughout the house. The floors are 
 always warm and there are no cold 
 spots near windows or in remote cor- 
 ners, 
 
 Eivery Moncrief Furnace has a large 
 water pan for humidifying, or moisten- 
 ing the air automatically as it is 
 warmed. Properly humidified air of 
 65° is more comfortable than dried out 
 air of 75°. Heating engineers estimate 
 
 A MONCRIEF FURNACE FOR EVERY HEATING NEED 
 
 Moncrief Furnaces are made in all sizes and of all types— 
 
 Pipe, Pipeless and Three-pipe. 
 
 The most popular Pipe Furnace is that shown in illustra- 
 tion—called the ‘500-A” series. It includes all the Mon- 
 crief features and is distinguished by the extra large feed 
 door to admit any kind of fuel—and the Moncrief burns all 
 
 kinds of fuel to equal advantage.

 Pipe and Fittings 
 
 We also sell practically everything 
 needed for a warm air heating installa- 
 tion. Our pipe and fittings factory is 
 one of the largest in the country for 
 the manufacture of single and double 
 wall pipe, elbows, angles, boots, boxes, 
 and specialties. All materials used are 
 of first quality, and our products are 
 distinguished by remarkable unifor- 
 mity and accuracy. 
 
 Large stocks enable us to make 
 
 prompt shipment of all items 
 
 that 25% of the fuel is burned in add- 
 ing these last ten degrees. 
 
 In flexibility, or responsiveness, a 
 warm air heating plant is unequalled 
 It will give additional heat quickly 
 after opening the drafts, or subside 
 just as quickly on closing them. 
 
 A warm air heating plant is so sim- 
 ple that there is practically nothing to 
 get out of order. The registers in the 
 living rooms are much less noticeable 
 Ger radiators and take up no space 
 at all. 
 
 A warm air furnace should be larger 
 than required for ordinary temper- 
 atures so that it will not have to be 
 forced to provide heat in very cold 
 weather. The warm air pipes should 
 be of ample size, likewise the cold air 
 returns. A furnace system of ample 
 specifications will prove more durable 
 than any other kind of heating system.

HESS WELDED STEEL FURNACES 
 
 Manufactured by 
 HESS WARMING AND VENTILATING COMPANY 
 
 1207-1227 South Western Ave., Chicago 
 
 Products: 
 
 This company manufactures the Hess Welded Steel 
 Furnaces for hot air heating in both pipe and pipeless 
 types. 
 
 Hess Snow White Steel Medicine Cabinets and Mir- 
 rors are described on page 347. 
 
 (Trade Mark) 
 
 Description: 
 
 Hess furnaces operate efficiently on any kind or grade of 
 fuel, their construction making them proof against any 
 leakage of smoke, gas, dust, odors, etc. They can be easily 
 arranged for utilizing natural or artificial gas as fuel, and 
 any of the numerous oil burners can be used with the 
 greatest efficiency. 
 
 Construction: 
 
 The Hess Welded Steel Furnace is not a sectional furnace. 
 There are no cemented or bolted seams to become leaky. 
 The entire inner body, or radiator, is made of heavy 
 annealed steel sheets—No. 12 gauge—which is about %-inch 
 thick. These steel sheets are firmly clamped together and 
 riveted at intervals. An intense heat is applied with an 
 acetylene-oxygen torch, or an electric arc is applied where 
 the plates meet, until the metal softens and the plates fuse 
 together in one continuous body of steel without a joint 
 of any kind, making an absolutely and permanently tight 
 construction that cannot leak gas, smoke or dust, regardless 
 of the kind of fuel used. 
 
 Fire Box: The fire-box iS square with vertical sides, Which 
 permits a deep, even fire and perfect combustion of fuel. It 
 is set close to the front of the furnace making the work of 
 caring for the fire easy and convenient. The grate surface 
 extends under the entire fire which prevents fire going dead 
 around the edges or in spots. It is lined with heavy fire- 
 brick slabs about 2% inches thick, similar to the slabs used 
 to line cupolas and blast furnaces for the melting of iron 
 and steel. These slabs rest upon steel brackets and clamps 
 hold them in position at the top so they cannot fall out of 
 place, but they can easily be removed and replaced when 
 necessary as they readily pass through the firedoor and 
 drop into position without the use of tools. Firebrick will 
 withstand ten times the heat that will melt cast iron so 
 it readily resists any heat produced in a furnace. 
 
 Hess Pipeless Furnace: 
 In this type of furnace, the interior arrange- 
 
 Grate: The grate is made up of a series of parallel 
 rocking bars with square ends projecting through 
 the front of the furnace. Each bar may be agitated 
 or turned over completely, independently of any other 
 bar, permitting the cleaning of any part of the fire 
 without disturbing any other part. For burning 
 lignite or soft coal slack, special grates with fine 
 mesh openings are furnished. An efficient burner for 
 natural or artificial gas can be supplied at a small 
 additional cost. 
 
 Water Pan: The water pan is placed just above the fire- 
 door where it heats quickly and in ordinary winter weather 
 will evaporate four to eight gallons of water daily—suf- 
 ficient to properly humidify the atmosphere and render 
 healthful heat and reduced fuel bills. 
 
 Double Casings Prevent Heat Loss: To prevent loss of heat 
 in the cellar, Hess furnaces are built with a double casing, 
 one within the other, making a double air chamber. The 
 inner casing or lining is of black steel and a current of 
 cool air is continually passing through the space between 
 it and the outer galvanized steel casing and conveying the 
 heat to the rooms above instead of radiating it into the 
 eellar through the sides of the furnace. The two largest 
 Hess models—Nos. 58 and 60—are provided with two im- 
 mense air flues, passing vertically through the radiator, 
 back of the firebox. These flues increase the radiating sur- 
 face very materially and their vertical position increases 
 the velocity of the air passing through, materially increas- 
 ing the heating efficiency of these larger furnaces. 
 
 Cleanout Door: The cleanout door is located at the base of 
 the smoke pipe, and as the only place where soot can ac- 
 cumulate is in the settling chamber back of the firebox—an 
 open square space just like the ashpit—every particle of 
 soot, ashes and dust are quickly and easily removed through 
 the cleanout door. 
 
 Water Coil: A water coil for heating the hot water tank 
 can be supplied at an additional charge. Special water 
 coils for heating hot water radiators located in distant or 
 much exposed rooms difficult to reach with the usual tin 
 hot air pipes can be furnished. 
 
 Hess Pipe Furnace 
 
 ment of radiator, fire-box, grates, smoke outlet 
 and doors is exactly the same as in the Hess 
 Pipe Furnace. The difference lies in the ar- 
 rangement of the outer casings and its con- 
 nection with the heat and air supply register. 
 The furnace is set directly under a large register 
 face or grating, divided into two sections—a 
 central heat outlet entirely surrounded by a 
 return air inlet. 
 
 The pipeless method of heating while ex- 
 ceptionally economical in fuel consumption, is 
 not adapted to all types of homes. Best results 
 are obtained in houses wnere the rooms are ¢on- 
 nected by liberal sized open:inzs instead of or- 
 dinary doorways. We will gladly check over 
 any layout sketch of rooms and frankly state 
 whether or not a pipeless furnace will heat 
 satisfactorily. 
 
 Sizes: 
 
 Hess Welded Steel Furnaces are made in a 
 variety of sizes for the heating of homes up to 
 twenty rooms. 
 
 Service Department: 
 
 Our Service Department is available, without 
 charge, to assist contractors and builders in 
 laying out efficient and economical heating 
 systems. Send for our booklet “Modern Furnace 
 Heating” an unusually exhaustive treatise on 
 the subject of hot air heating and containing 
 complete details of Hess Welded Steel Furnaces.

 223 East 80th St., New York City 1878 
 
 Products 
 
 For nearly half a century Thomas Nugent (the founder of the company) 
 and Thomas Nugent’s Sons (his successors) have concentrated on one subject 
 —the possibilites cf warm air heating. As a result of this intensive study 
 the furnaces designed by this company possess distinctive and advantageous 
 features not found in any other makes of furnaces. Two types of warm air 
 furnaces are made—the multiple register type in which a separate register is 
 used in each of the rooms to be heated: and the single register (or pipeless) 
 type in which one large register installed in the floor directly over the furnace 
 heats the whole house. 
 
 Multiple Register Furnace 
 
 The illustration at right shows a Nugent Furnace of the Multiple Register 
 Type, with galvanized iron jacket removed. This furnace is very substantial 
 in. construction and all parts as far as practicable are made of refined wrought 
 iron, or steel, whieh are far superior to cast iron as heat radiating surfaces. 
 
 An indirect as well as direct draught is provided which results in better 
 regulation of the fire in moderate weather, as well as in fuel economy. 
 
 Provision is made for humidifying the warm air, while radiating pipes and 
 a radiator damper of unique design greately increase the efficiency of the furnace. 
 
 These furnaces are made in four sizes, designated by the numbers 9—3—10 
 and 25, the specifications of which are as follows:

 MULTIPLE REGISTER FURNACE 
 (Galvanized Iron Jacket Removed) 
 
 Single Register (or Pipeless) Furnace 
 
 For the small home (and for the small church, store, public garage, theater, 
 etc.) the Pipeless Furnace affords the best method of heating, being much 
 lower in first cost and in eost of installations and equally efficient as furnaces 
 requiring numerous warm air pipes and registers, provided the building to be 
 heated is one that permits of free circulation of air throughout its interuor. 
 
 This is the important consideration in determining whether a _Pipeless 
 Furnace can be used to advantage, for in this type of installation the whole 
 volume of heated air is delivered to one centrally located room, or hall, and 
 quickly spreads throughout the house if free passage is provided from room to 
 room. 
 
 Only one large register is required in this type of installation and this 
 is divided into two parts—a central portion through which the warm air rises 
 to the room above the furnace and an outer section down which the cooler air 
 is drawn to the furnace to be released and again delivered to the room above. 
 There is, therefore, a constant circulation of air throughout the house, due solely 
 to convection currents arising from the relative temperature of the freshly heated 
 air and the cooler air that is displaced by it.

 moisture to the rooms. An 
 automatic valve that 
 keeps water pan full can 
 be had at a slight ad- 
 ditional cost. 
 
 Made of 14-gauge steel, 17 inches high and 
 will last for years. Cup joints in top and bot- 
 tom plates are gas tight. The ‘‘Perfect’’ Posi- 
 tive Heater has flanges in air channel which fit 
 directly over body flanges and form a complete 
 air column of peculiar shape extending from 
 ashpit to top of heater. These air columns 
 drive air with great force by rapid heating. 
 Flue travel of from 8 to 13 feet is divided by 
 a horizontal diaphragm which forces the hot 
 gases to pass twice through the radiator before 
 escaping through chimney. Radiator is easily

 ‘Perfect’? Pipeless Heaters 
 
 The 200 series ‘‘Perfect’’ Heater is used in the pipeless 
 heating system. Extensions to the panel front, larger casing 
 rings, and the outer bonnets and cases complete the change. 
 On account of its over-size air chambers this pipeless heater 
 has proved extremely satisfactory. The capacities in cubic 
 feet are carefully determined and guaranteed by us. They 
 are conservative so that heater will do its work in extremely 
 cold weather without more frequent fuel attention. 
 
 Base 
 
 The heavy 12-inch straight 
 side base provides a substantial 
 support for the heater and its 
 height and design afford proper 
 draft for the fire and permits 
 easy removal of ashes. It is 
 shipped as a complete unit. 
 Four standard ‘‘Perfect’’ tri- 
 angular grate bars are used. 
 
 Fire Pot 
 
 A straight, corrugated, 
 heavy fire pot 12 inches high 
 allows a full fire and one

 9 per cent of the total capacity of the warm air pipes attached to the heater. 
 
 Steel Radiator 
 
 Radiator is 15 inches high 
 and made of 18-gauge steel. 
 Cup joints in top and bottom 
 are gas tight. The flue travel 
 is greater than the average for 
 getting the greatest heating 
 value from the coal used. The 
 large heating surface insures 
 ample heat. The cleanout open- 
 ing at the front of radiator 
 permits easy cleaning. 
 
 Cast Iron Radiator 
 
 This is a heavy one-piece 
 radiator, 12 inches high, and 
 is recommended for soft coal 
 or wood. It is far superior to 
 the usual two-piece cast iron 
 radiator and on account of its 
 construction there is equal ex- 
 pansion throughout and no 
 danger of breakage in use. Its 
 internal construction permits 
 the same long flue travel as the 
 steel radiator. 
 
 Body 
 
 A heavy ribbed body with 
 proper allowance for complete 
 combustion of fuel. Large 
 single door for easy firing. 
 Openings are placed to left of 
 fire door for pipe connection 
 when domestic water is to be 
 heated by a coil. A full cup 
 joint assures. gas-tight connec- 
 tion with radiator. 
 
 Panel Front 
 
 Is built only wide enough to properly provide for feed door 
 openings, thus assuring additional saving in coal as wide panel 
 fronts usually cause a heat loss.

 A Contractors Furnace 
 
 To meet the demand of con- 
 tractors and builders for a highly 
 efficient furnace on a price basis, the 
 Gilt Edge Fireside line was designed 
 and developed. The Gilt Edge in- 
 corporated in the name of this heater 
 stamps it as a product worthy of your 
 confidence. 
 
 Construction 
 
 The Gilt Edge Fireside is a 
 sturdily built furnace, superior in 
 every detail of construction to com- 
 petitive furnaces, selling at even a 
 higher price. A one piece base plate 
 —two piece firepot—heavy feed section—two piece 
 all cast radiator, and double contact sealed points 
 throughout make the Fireside easy to install, and 
 thoroughly efficient. For convenient operation, the 
 following features in design are incorporated :—large 
 feed door—front knee-high water pan—large ash pit 
 opening—a handy cleanout—lecomotive type of flat bar 
 grates, etc.

 Oil Burner Installations 
 
 Oil burners are being installed 
 in Gilt Edge Furnaces with a high 
 degree of satisfaction. The double 
 contact sealed joints do not allow 
 for gas or odor leakage. The 
 large feed door permits a ready 
 installation of the burner. 
 Quickly removable grates can be 
 speedily replaced in case the 
 burner ceases to function properly.

 Accessories 
 
 An automatic humidifier filler 
 can be purchased at a slight addi- 
 tional cost, and will relieve the 
 bother of keeping the water pan 
 filled. 
 
 Waba water backs illustrated be- 
 low supplant the old fashioned pipe 
 water coil. This type of water back 
 has an extra 
 large exposed 
 heating surface, 
 which insures 
 an abundant 
 supply of hot 
 water at all times during the winter 
 months. 
 
 In case it is advisable to install 
 a small radiator in a garage, den 
 or bathroom, a large size water heater built on the 
 lines of the above pictured water back, and capable 
 of carrying 100 feet of radiation, can be supplied. 
 
 Anti-Clinker Grates 
 
 Heavy, locomotive type of flat bar grates are used 
 in all models of Gilt Edge Furnaces. 
 
 The furnace grates are the watch dogs of economy— 
 if they are not constructed along proper scientific lines, 
 a tremendous accumulative fuel waste will take place. 
 Gilt Edge Grates are link-connected and in shaking 
 rock with each other instead of away from and toward 
 each other, as in the old style triangular bar grate. This 
 feature of link hanging makes them practically anti- 
 clinker in operation because of the grinding motion set 
 up when agitation takes place. 
 
 Note the Heavy Flat 
 Bar Grates and Sim- 
 plified Method of 
 
 Grate Hanging.

 A Quality Furnace ee 
 
 Gilt Edge Furnaces have 
 been on the market for al- 
 most fifty years and the pres- 
 ent 500 Series is in keeping 
 with the high quality stand- 
 ards of workmanship which 
 have thoroughly established 
 Gilt Edge Furnaces as a 
 quality product. 
 
 The Average Home 
 
 Poumtuie average home, 
 costing, from $2500.00 up to 
 $15,000.00, warm air heating, 
 without a doubt, proves most satisfactory. 
 Clean, even tempered, humidified heat flow- 
 ing through the furnace heated home pro- 
 vides for the health and happiness of the 
 family, at a minimum cost. 
 
 Advantages of Warm Air 
 
 Probably the most appealing advantage 
 of warm air heating is the economy not only 
 in operation, but in the original installation, 
 altho from a standpoint of healthful heat, 
 
 warm air has the edge on every other type 
 of home heater because of the constant circulation of 
 air kept in motion thru the gravity system. A furnace 
 installation, complete, costs about one-half that of a hot 
 water or steam job, and because of the ready response 
 of a furnace to draft control, a greater saving in fuel 
 can be accomplished. 
 
 The Heart of the Furnace 
 On the furnace firepot rests the responsibility of 
 providing the greatest primary heating surface and a 
 careful inspection of Gilt Edge firepot construction will 
 convince the most skeptical that every possible method 
 Ls its 4 f : has been utilized 
 in designing the 
 firepot to give 
 maximum heating 
 efficiency. Straight 
 side, sturdy con- 
 struction—extend- 
 ed ribs—each fac- 
 tor for proper effi- 
 ciency has been 
 amply provided 
 for.

 Efficient Design 
 
 A furnace, must undergo changes 
 in design from time to time to keep 
 pace with modern theories of warm 
 air heating. The Gilt Edge has been 
 built in accordance with present day 
 demands for efficiency and maxi- 
 mum ease of operation. A _ large, 
 double feed door—an easily acces- 
 sible clean out flue—a high ash pit 
 door, making the removal of ashes 
 a pleasure—are features which will 
 be readily appreciated by home- 
 owners and home builders. 
 
 Durable Construction 
 
 The life of those castings in a furnace which have 
 to stand the gaff of numerous quick changes in tem- 
 perature, depends entirely on the quality of the iron 
 which goes into them. In manufacturing Gilt Edge 
 castings, the finest grade pig iron is used. Extreme 
 care in making the numerous laboratory tests for 
 strength and elasticity insures a uniformly high grade 
 of cast iron.

 Gilt Edge Furnaces are guaranteed not for five, ten 
 or fifteen years, but for a 
 lifetime of service. An un- 
 unqualified guarantee from a 
 concern on the threshold of its 
 fiftieth year as manufacturers 
 should impress the prospective

 the past performance of Gilt 
 Edge Furnaces, and the ex-

 Thatcher Tubular Furnace 
 
 This type of furnace has a number of distinctive features 
 which greatly increase its heating capacity, fuel economy 
 and long life. The patented, straight side “Porcupine” 
 Fire-Pot is a notable improvement in furnace design. A 
 multitude of metal pegs, cast integral with the fire-pot, 
 doubles the radiating surface and prolongs the life of the 
 fire-pot. The self cleaning one-piece cast-iron radiator makes 
 escape of gas impossible. The tubular construction results 
 in rapid heating, fuel economy, and pure unscorched, 
 healthful air. While the large feed door and slicer door, 
 high ash pit and anti-clinker, ball-bearing grate make this 
 an exceedingly easy furnace to operate.

 THATCHER PIPELESS FURNACE 
 
 For consistent Economy, Health, Comfort, Cleanliness, 
 and Convenience the Thatcher Pipeless Furnace (illustrated 
 below) is the LEADER in the heater line. It is economical 
 of space, cost of installation and fuel—saves from 30% to 
 40°% of the average coal bill. ‘The Thatcher Pipeless 
 Furnace is founded on the scientific principle of air cir- 
 culation. The warm air expands and rises through the 
 center of the register—into the rooms—and, as it cools, 
 is drawn down through the cold air channel, into the 
 furnace, where it is reheated, purified and moistened by 
 the vapor from the water pan and then recirculated through 
 the warm air register. This insures a constant flow of 
 evenly heated ‘‘washed” air in every room of the house— 
 
 upstairs and down and provides ideal ventilation. 
 
 Equipment furnished with heater—complete inner and 
 outer galvanized casings. Extension pipes for eight-foot 
 cellar and register with either oxidized copper or black 
 japanned finish. Special THATCHER water pan and two 
 outside casing clean-out doors. Extension pipes for cellars 
 exceeding eight feet furnished when ordered, at a slight 
 additional cost.

 The “Thatcher Meteor” furnace with hot blast attach- 
 ment is guaranteed to burn any grade of soft coal. such 
 as slack, screening, or lignite from the fact that the ad- 
 mission of air into and above the fuel at the point of 
 combustion cokes this fuel and in a short time after the 
 fire is replenished, a. clean fire like that of hard coal or 
 coke can be had. The construction is such that it is 
 exceedingly economical in the point of fuel consumption as 
 all the particles of coal are thoroughly consumed.

 Barns Smoke as Fuel! 
 
 Smokeless even with cheap soft coal! Startling in its 
 complete efficiency! Truly remarkable in its economy of 
 fuel! That is the fact-story of the Utica SUPHR-SMOKE- 
 LESS furnace—the furnace which burns smoke as fuel, and 
 makes smoking chimneys and high, coal bills a thing of the 
 past. 
 
 The -principle of the SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace is 
 similar to that of the Bunsen Burner and Automobile Car- 
 buretor. Both of these devices use a small quantity of fuel 
 and a great quantity of air, mix them together, and pro- 
 duce the most efficient combustion known. The same result 
 is obtained in the SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace. The 
 SUPER-SMOKELESS Device, illustrated below, injects warm 
 air into the furnace at the point where it strikes the rising 
 smoke and gases. These are ignited and converted into a

 secondary flame of great intensity. Not only is all smoke 
 consumed within the furnace, but every heat unit in the 
 fuel is utilized. This means a great saving of good coal 
 and the good dollars which pay for it. 
 
 Careful experiments and tests show that the Utica 
 SUPER-SMOKELESS Furnace saves about thirty per cent 
 of the fuel, by utilizing as fuel the smoke and soot ordi- 
 narily wasted up the chimney in costly clouds. It furnishes 
 an abundance of healthful heat that will make your home 
 warm and comfortable in the coldest mid-winter weather. 
 It entirely eliminates the dirt and grime of black, smoky 
 chimneys and is practically self-cleaning. It burns hard 
 coal, soft coal or coke equally well, having a fine clean ash 
 with no clinkers. It means economy, convenience and com- 
 plete heating satisfactory to every householder. 
 
 The SUPER-SMOKE- 
 LESS Device that trans- 
 forms heavy smoke into 
 intensely hot, clean 
 flames.

 Advantages of the H & C Line: 
 
 The warm air heating system, when prop- 
 erly installed, is superior to any other 
 method of heating—lower in first cost and 
 more efficient in operation. 
 
 Proper installation among other things, 
 calls for the free circulation of air both to 
 and from the furnace. H & C Registers are 
 designed to circulate air more freely than 
 any others on the market. The fretwork 
 obstruction has been reduced to a minimum 
 and with no sacrifice of strength. 
 
 The free air capacity (meaning the total 
 area of holes in register faces) is printed in 
 the following pages, and the proper size 
 register can be selected for each size of pipe. 
 
 Coupled with the marvelous efficiency of 
 H & C Registers, is a construction that will 
 not break during installation or use, finishes 
 that will last, and designs that appeal to the 
 demand for simple harmony. 
 
 Standard Finishes: 
 
 This Company is equipped to furnish any 
 electroplated finish desired to match hard- 
 ware. The following finishes are standard: 
 
 Electroplated-light bronze, statuary 
 bronze, polished brass, copper (not shaded), 
 oxidized copper, dull brass (brushed), dead 
 black, nickel.

 H & C Floor Registers are correctly 
 designed to provide a strong, unbreakable 
 protection for openings through the floor 
 to furnace pipe. 
 
 The faces are reinforced by supporting 
 bars of heavy gauge steel. 
 
 The steel used in H & C Register bodies 
 is also of heavy gauge to make them rigid 
 and durable. The louvres or valves have 
 solid trunnions securely riveted to each end, 
 insuring free and easy operation. 
 
 The*square hole design is furnished in all 
 sizes up to and including 14-inch widths. 
 Larger sizes have oblong holes.

 This Cold Air Face can be supplied in H & C Oak 
 Finish designed to match all oak floors. 
 
 The H & C No. 250 Cold Air Face has the same 
 superior fretwork braced underneath with steel bars 
 
 which in turn are supported by a heavy angle frame 
 that is removable. The overlap of the face on the floor 
 provides ample support and in this way eliminates the 
 necessity of accurate fitting in the floor. Smaller 
 faces than in the case of wood may be used with equal 
 efficiency.

 and permits the use of smaller sizes of registers than 
 heretofore, with greater efficiency. The frame is 
 pressed from a single piece of steel. The vertical bars, 
 integral with margin of face, present rounded surfaces 
 and are very strong and rigid. 
 
 Construction is sufficiently rigid to withstand very 
 hard use. Any standard finish used in builders’ hard- 
 ware can be furnished. 
 
 The valve is held in any desired position by means 
 of a friction hinge and increased friction can be 
 secured by a slight turn of tension screw which secures 
 operating handle. Consult table for Air Capacities.

 This is the only warm air register guaranteed to pre- 
 vent streaking of the walls—a feature especially valu- 
 able because it saves the house owner from $20 to $27 
 annually on decorating expense. 
 
 Construction: 
 
 The register boxes are made of double galvanized 
 iron with tin linings, making a dead air space for insu- 
 lation, which adds to the durability of the register as 
 well as increasing fire protection. 
 
 Finishes : 
 
 Rock Island registers are finished in the most modern 
 and durable manner known to the electro-platers’ art to 
 match all prevailing hardware finishes. 
 
 Standard finishes are electro-plated Oxidized Copper, 
 Brush Brass and Nickle. All special sanded finishes 
 will be made to match hardware upon request. 
 
 The enamel finishes are high-gloss, baked-in Black, 
 and a durable, non-changing White. 
 
 A very attractive and moderate priced finish is avail- 
 able in our Lacquered Bronze paint finish to corre- 
 spond in color to the standard electro-plated finishes. 
 
 This Guarantee Tag is Attached to Every 
 “NO-STREAK” Register: 
 
 The “No-Streak” Guarantee is based on the patented 
 interlapping joint of the register to the double metal 
 register box which is an integral part of the complete 
 register.

“No-Streak, “Out-0-Wall” and “Vol-Yum’” Registers,R.I.Cold Air Faces (continued) 
 
 “Vol-Yum”’ Sizes and Opening Dimensions: 
 
 Patent Pending 
 
 “Out-O-Wall’”’ Register: 
 
 The most satisfactory and efficient wall register for in- 
 stallation in houses already built or those where the con- 
 struction will not permit of the usual type of wall register. 
 
 The register’and double wall box are a unit that is in- 
 stalled by simply cutting the baseboard and a hole in the 
 floor against the wall. ‘This installation saves approxi- 
 mately 90% of the usual labor necessary to cut and install 
 ordinary wall registers, and makes an attractive and efficient 
 job. 
 
 The measurements and openings for “Out-O-Wall” registers 
 correspond with those of “No-Streak’ registers (see oppo- 
 site page) making pipe fittings interchangeable. 
 
 “Vol-Yum”’ Register: 
 
 This is the last word in warm air register design for a 
 moderate priced and attractive register for group construc- 
 tion of bungalows and one or two story cottages. It has 
 beauty of design and a pleasing appearance that is charm- 
 ing and artistic in its decorative effect. 
 
 The grille is particularly novel in the new treatment of 
 the perpendicular bar by combining a margin in the lattice 
 effect that is both practical and beautiful. One hundred 
 percent capacity of free area is secured, insuring a more 
 efficient heating plant. 
 
 A comparison between “Vol-Yum” and other registers is 
 invited because ‘‘Vol-Yum” registers are of such merit and 
 value that they will save many dollars when specified in 
 construction work.

 Cobble Face Registers—Style No. 80. 
 
 Cobble Face Register 
 
 Cobble Face Registers are a new and exclusive product of 
 our factory. 
 
 The miniature cobbles prevent the foot from slipping and 
 give an extra radiating surface which keeps the register from 
 becoming overheated. 
 
 As the wear comes only on the ‘‘tips’’ of the cobbles, any 
 finish applied is untouched in the ‘‘valleys’’ so that a cobble 
 face finish lasts indefinitely. 
 
 The rolled edge makes a snug and even fit with the floor, 
 without recessing. 
 
 The design furnishes the largest free air openings, consist- 
 ent with strength, safety and appearance. 
 
 The finish, Tanbo Antique only, is distinctive and pleasing 
 and matches the prevailing mode in Builders Hardware. Tanbo 
 Antique harmonizes well with all color schemes, therefore the 
 one finish is suitable for every room. 
 
 The bottom is made of heavy gauge steel, with beveled sides 
 to insure easy fitting, and the Patent Roller Movement opens 
 and closes the valves positively but smoothly, and locks them 
 automatically when closed. Made in all the used sizes. 
 
 Cobble Cold Air Face Style C 
 
 Matches cobble register in design and Tanbo finish. 
 
 A Face which provides ample Air-Flow, Strength and Dura-

 Style C Cobble is Cast Iron and its oblong mesh means No 
 Obstruction to circulation. 
 
 The finish will suit any surroundings. 
 
 The Rolled Edge and Narrow Rim insure close fit with easy 
 setting—the minimum of labor charge; and the Face can come 
 close to the partition. 
 
 No staining, varnishing or painting is necessary as Cobble 
 Cold Air Faces are finished in Tanbo Antique to match the 
 Cobble Registers.

DOYLE’S MINERAL WOOL 
 
 Made by 
 
 J. W. DOYLE COMPANY (Engineers, Contractors, Chemists) 
 General Motors Building, Detroit, Mich. 
 
 J. W. Doyle Company 
 
 This company specializes in heat insulation. Through 
 their authorized representatives in all parts of the 
 country they contract to thoroughly insulate the heat- 
 ing plant (boiler or furnace) and the water heating 
 and hot water storage system, so that the heat losses 
 will be reduced to a minimum, resulting in a great 
 saving in fuel. 
 
 Agents Wanted 
 
 Doyle’s Mineral Wool, the material used for insulat- 
 ing boilers, furnaces, water heaters, hot water tanks, 
 etc., is not sold in bulk, but is furnished only through 
 authorized representatives who apply it themselves, thus 
 insuring a perfect job. Building contractors are in- 
 vited to write to J. W. Doyle Company, General Motors 
 Building, Detroit, Michigan, regarding terms to agents. 
 This is a profitable side line and some desirable territory 
 is still open. 
 
 Heat Losses in Homes 
 
 The amount of money wasted by the people of this 
 country in fuel burned to no purpose is appalling. 
 
 Twenty-five to fifty percent of the neat from the coal, 
 gas, or oil consumed in uninsulated heating equipment 
 is a dead loss, due to the fact that much of the heat 
 generated is radiated from the surface of the boiler, 
 furnace, or pipes, and never reaches the rooms it is 
 desired to heat. 
 
 Converted into terms of coal this means that from 
 500 to 1000 pounds of each ton of coal purchased is 
 a dead loss. Yet this tremendous waste can be pre- 
 vented at comparatively small expense by the Doyle 
 method of insulation. 
 
 Pays for Itself 
 
 The saving of fuel is so great in homes in which the 
 heating equipment is insulated with Doyle’s Mineral 
 Wool that the cost of insulation is quickly paid for by 
 the saving effected in the amount of fuel used. So 
 generally satisfactory has the Doyle method of insula- 
 tion proven to be that no one has ever called on us to 
 refund their money although every job is covered by our 
 guarantee, one clause of which states that money will 
 be refunded to any customer who is dissatisfied after 
 one year’s experience with the Doyle Method of in- 
 sulation.

 O THE SMALL HOME and other buildings that 
 
 have had to depend, in the past, upon old- 
 fashioned heating methods, the Ideal Vecto Heater 
 brings solid comfort, warmth and coziness without 
 any expensive installation. 
 
 It is a compact, self-contained, beautiful heating 
 unit which warms, not one room, but a whole home, 
 and yet consumes only as much coal, or less, than ‘is 
 
 Scientifically Designed 
 
 In principle and in construction, the Ideal 
 Vecto Heater is altogether different from old- 
 fashioned heating devices. It is a scientific § 
 application of nature’s way of spreading | 
 warmth. That is why it is so almost un- 
 believably efficient as to warm an entire small 
 home while consuming only the same amount 
 of fuel, or less, than is ordinarily used to 
 heat one room. 
 
 In old-fashioned heaters 
 the fire sends out its heat by 
 radiation. Around the fire it 
 is intensely hot; but near 
 the walls and in the other 
 rooms it may be cold and 
 draughty. The heat is un- 
 controlled. Coal is wasted, 
 comfort sacrificed and health 
 endangered. 
 
 The operation of the Ideal # 
 Vecto Heater is based on & 
 the natural law of gravita- 
 tion. Air is drawn in at the 
 base, and brought into contact with a very 
 extensive, scientifically designed heating sur- 
 face; being warmed, it flows upward and out- 
 ward, carrying its warmth to every corner of the home. The 
 process is continuous. A gentle suffusion of even, comfort- 
 able warmth fills every room. 
 
 Warms the Whole House 
 
 The Ideal Vecto Heater warms large volumes of air at 
 moderate, controlled temperatures, preserving its healthful 
 qualities. It circulates the warmed air through the home 
 six to ten times an hour, thus ventilating as it warms. 
 
 Easily and Quickly Installed 
 
 To install the Vecto Heater requires no ripping up of 
 flooring, no special piping whatever. It is a self-contained 
 unit. The rear smokehood with damper control is provided 
 as a regular part of the equipment, and needs only to be 
 connected to a chimney. This is accomplished in a few 
 minutes. The fire may then be lighted. It can be moved 
 like furniture. No matter where you go, you can always 
 be sure of having warmth and comfort in your home.

 now used by old-fashioned methods to heat one room. 
 
 Its warmth is clean and healthful. It requires no 
 basement for installation; it is an ornament in any 
 room. For more or less heat, you need but turn a 
 handle. Compact and self-contained, it maybe 
 moved like furniture. It burns either coal or wood, 
 and will serve you faithfully and efficiently during 
 your lifetime. 
 
 How It Works 
 
 The great secret of the Ideal Vecto Heater 
 lies in its extraordinarily large and _ scien- 
 tifically designed heating surface, the tem- 
 || perature of which is controlled by the simple 
 
 || turning of a handle conveniently placed in 
 | the front of the Heater.

 air are continuously warmed and circulated

 | served. Ideal 
 f= Vere .c, -th10 
 i warmth is not 
 | only more 
 economical, 
 but is far 
 more com- 
 fortable and 
 | healthful. 
 
 A Handsome Piece of Furniture 
 
 The Ideal Vecto Heater is as beautiful to 
 look upon as it is efficient in operation. It 
 brings the cheer of an open fire, for its fire-lights shine 
 clearly through the window glow-panels in front. These 
 glow-panels are made of a chemically prepared glass mix- 
 ture that resists high fire temperatures. 
 The cover of the Vecto Heater is sheet steel, finished with 
 a highly lustrous gray enamel—as bright as the glow of 
 china. This finish is vitreous enamel, baked on at a very 
 high temperature, so that it will not be affected by heat. 
 The beauty of the Ideal Vecto Heater is practically ever- 
 lasting; and it harmonizes perfectly with any interior. 
 This Ideal Vecto Heater does not take up much space. It 
 is 22 inches wide, 21 inches deep and 48 inches high. 
 
 Low in Price 
 
 The Ideal Vecto Heater is not expensive. 
 $99 f. o. b. Buffalo. 
 
 This makes it an ideal heater for the inexpensive small 
 home from three to five rooms, the small shop, office, private 
 garage, oil filling station or other small building up to 8,000 
 cubic feet of space. 
 
 It comes all ready to be put into use for there is no in- 
 stallation required except connection of the smokehood.

 Drawing cold air 
 from the floor level, 
 warming it to a com- 
 fortable temperature, 
 then circulating it to 
 every nook and 
 corner of the house— 
 the Red Cross Iurno- 
 la circulates heat like 
 a warm air furnace! 
 
 In construction, 
 this type of heating 
 unit is similar to a 
 pipeless furnace—it 
 has a double casing; 
 depends on circula- 
 tion for its great 
 heating power and is 
 adaptable to practi- 
 cally the same types 
 of buildings. 
 
 Located on the 
 ground floor it elimi- 
 nates the necessity of 
 a cellar or basement, 
 
 When to Install It 
 
 The improved principles of construction; the method of 
 circulating the heat instead of radiating and its low cost 
 make the Red Cross Furnola an ideal heating system for 
 old homes without a furnace, new homes without a base- 
 ment, for offices, shops, stores, public buildings, rural 
 schools, ete.

 Design and Construction 
 
 In appearance the Red Cross Furnola is at once strikingly 
 attractive. Toned in a lasting finish of grained walnut in 
 porcelain enamel, it looks like a piece of fine furniture, or 
 finished in blue steel with sparkling nickel trim and black 
 porcelain enameled top and doors it is a handsome heating 
 unit. The cast iron construction of the Furnola is heavy 
 and durable. All joints are deep cup, thoroughly cemented 
 and bolted—it is dust-proof and gas-tight! See chart below 
 for full specifications and weight. 
 
 Heating Capacity—Fuel Economy 
 
 The Red Cross Furnola will comfortably heat from five to 
 seven rooms of a cottage type home or one ailowing for 
 free circulation of air. It will do the work of approxi- 
 mately three of the ordinary type of parlor stoves with the 
 fuel of one. This fuel economy and unusual heating 
 capacity is due to the method of circulation and the large 
 radiating surface. 
 
 Shipped Complete 
 
 The Red Cross Furnola is shipped complete ready to 
 install the minute it is received. It is mounted and assem- 
 bled right in the crate and due to the extreme care used in 
 packing and crating it seldom, if ever, arrives in a damaged 
 condition. 
 
 How It Circulates Heat 
 
 The picture to the left shows the interior construction 
 of the Furnola with its cast iron ash pit, fire pot and dome. 
 
 White arrows indicate the passage of air circulating 
 through the Furnola. When entering at bottom it is cold, 
 then gradually be- 
 coming warmed, it 
 ascends and finally 
 passes out through 
 the top grating to 
 circulate itself to 
 every nook and 
 corner of the home,

 be ready for firing. All that is needed is a flue con- 
 nection. No pipes—no registers. And it is so easy 
 to control that a child can set its simple drafts, or 
 shake down the ashes.

 Its Place in the Home 
 
 The Furnacette is placed cen- 
 trally wherever there is a flue 
 connection, in one of the 
 living rooms of the home. It 
 heats the whole house by con- 
 stantly circulating warm, moist 
 air as does a high grade furnace. 
 It does the work of 2 and 3 good 
 stoves requiring the floor space, 
 (26”x26”) fuel and attention of 
 only one. No nickel to polish, 
 no blacking. Harmonizes with 
 the most attractive interior 
 schemes. In no sense a stove!

 IDEAL ARCO ROUND BOILER 
 
 for homes and other buildings—burns all kinds of fuel 
 
 OR HOMES and all other buildings within the limits of 
 its rated capacities, the IDEAL ARCO Round Boiler may 
 be offered with one of the greatest recommendations that 
 any boiler can command—years of distinguished service. 
 Today it is undoubtedly the most popular boiler of its kind 
 
 in America. 
 
 O THE DESIGN and construc- 
 
 tion which have made the repu- 
 tation of the Ideal Arco Round 
 Boiler, there have been added sev- 
 eral improvements. Outstanding 
 among these is the increase in the 
 boiler’s direct, fire-contact heating 
 surface, fuel capacity and heategen- 
 erating capacity.

 Steam Boiler Ratings and Data 
 
 The quick heating response and 
 economy of operation are due in 
 large measure to its exclusive Third 
 Nipple construction. This construc- 
 tion effects a continuous, rapid, un- 
 impeded circulation of the water 
 within the boiler—giving to it an 
 exceptional ‘‘pick-up”’ capacity. In 
 the case of the water boiler, hot 
 
 water begins to rise out of the 
 boiler and flow through the heating 
 system almost immediately after 
 the fire is lighted; while in the 
 steam boiler, the quickest possible 
 steam generation after firing is in- 
 sured. 
 
 Balancing the Third Nipple con- 
 struction is the large, well designed 
 fire pot, the carefully proportioned 
 flue areas and gas travel. The 
 entire design is calculated to 
 
 give the best performance under 
 chimney conditions as they are ac- 
 tually found in practice, and at the 
 same time maintain the greatest 
 economy of fuel consumption.

 Richardson Round Sectional Boilers 
 for Steam, Vapor and Hot Water 
 
 These boilers are particularly adapted for private resi- 
 dences as they are simple and easy to operate, powerful and 
 economical. They have large feed doors for firing and ample 
 cleanout and ashpit doors and will carry sufficient fire over 
 night so that the house is warm in morning. Water boilers 
 have a special dome section for water heating and wall 
 waterways through boiler are small producing a rapid cireu- 
 lation of water over heating surfaces and absorbing the 
 heat units as they are given off from the fire and heated 
 gases. All heating surfaces are within boiler and surrounded 
 by water passages, 
 
 Construction 
 
 Round boilers for 
 steam and hot 
 water are made up 
 of several sections. 
 The base section is 
 fitted with ‘“Per- 
 fect” revolving tri- 
 angular grate bars 
 which are durable 
 and very effective 
 in keeping the fire 
 clear and free from 
 elinkers. Ash pits 
 have large doors, 
 fitted with an air

 draft door is operated from the automatic damper regulator of 
 steam boilers, and with a ratchet on water boilers. 
 
 The fire pot section is above the ash pit, is heavily corru- 
 gated on the inside. Fire pot is deep so that fire can be run 
 at low rate of combustion and only require attention at long 
 intervals. These sections are fitted with two openings in the

RICHARDSON BOILERS FOR STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATING— (Continued) 
 
 End Feed Square Sectional Boilers for 
 Steam, Vapor and Water: 
 
 These boilers are made in sizes to meet any steam, hot water 
 or vapor heating requirement. Their principal features are 
 the ease with which they are operated, their ability to carry 
 their ratings for long periods, and economical operating 
 expense. This means securing the proper proportion and 
 arrangement of the heating surface to the grate area with 
 large flues, admitting of a low rate of combustion. 
 
 Richardson boilers present a large amount of correctly pro- 
 portioned direct heating to the fire, yet with a long fire travel 
 to hold back gases and prevent their too rapid escape to the 
 smoke outlet. Equipped with deep fire pots and high com- 
 bustion chambers. Ample provision has been made for easy 
 firing and cleaning. Two large upper doors give access to 
 flue surface for cleaning. Fire door is high and wide and 
 through slicer door all parts of grate can be thoroughly cleaned. 
 Ash pit is high and large permitting easy removal of ashes. All 
 boilers have cored openings in back section for coil; and steam 
 boilers are tapped on third section from front (right side) 
 for indirect water heat. Steam boilers can be fitted with fusi- 
 ble plugs. : 
 
 Grate bars are extra heavy sectional shaking and dumping 
 pattern, operated in sections from the front of the boiler and 
 controlled by a lock plate permitting the bars to be shaken, 
 dumped or locked in position, as desired. Grates can be fur- 
 nished for burning either large or small size coal. 
 
 Any connections between the sections are made with extra 
 heavy cast iron machine cut tapered slip nipples fitted into 
 tapered openings in the section and making the boiler abso- 
 lutely tight.

 Saves by Burning No. 1 Buckwheat 
 
 Spencer Heaters are built to burn No. 1 Buckwheat 
 Coal. Approximately one-seventh of the total produc- 
 tion of Anthracite is No. 1 Buckwheat, the supply of 
 which is greatly in excess of the demand for heating 
 purposes, and as a consequence, the delivered price is 
 from $4 to $7 per ton less than the larger sizes. When 
 burned in a Spencer Heater, No. 1 Buckwheat has as 
 much heat value as the so-called domestic sizes—and 
 no more tons are required. Attention to the heater is 
 necessary but once or twice a day, depending upon 
 weather conditions.

Thatcher Boilers for Steam and Hot Water (Continued) 
 
 Automatic Control 
 
 Automatic and absolute control of the drafts is assured 
 by a butterfly door in the ashpit and a sensitive diaphragm 
 attached to the large damper in the smoke hood. Every 
 point can be reached through the large cleanout door. All 
 boilers are tapped so that hot water supply heaters can be 
 easily attached. 
 
 Note these Structural Features 
 
 Thatcher Boiler Base with Revolving Triangular Grates 
 
 The triangular revolving grates crush and dispose of 
 clinkers. The ashpit is unusually high, giving lots of space 
 for removing ashes, and lessening the possibility of burning 
 out grates. 
 
 Wheel Sections 
 
 Staggered fire travel between and over every part of each 
 section produces far more thermal heating units than any 
 other design.

 “Progress” Sectional Steam Boiler 
 
 “Thatcher” Sectional Hot Water Boiler 
 
 Thatcher Sectional Boilers for Steam and 
 Hot Water Heating 
 
 These sectional boilers are recommended where greater 
 heating capacity is required than is afforded by boilers of 
 the round type. 
 
 The Thatcher Sectional Boiler is an end feed boiler of 
 square cross sections with an unusual amount of prime 
 heating surface. The smoke and gases are made to pass 
 three times the length of the boiler (see illustration above) 
 coming in contact with the heating surface at every point. 
 Careful attention has been given to eliminating all pockets 
 or corners where soot might collect and diminish the 
 efficiency of the heating surface. 
 
 Waterways and flues have been carefully proportioned 
 to secure the best possible results. In short, nothing that 
 7) years’ experience could suggest has been left undone to 
 make these boilers as efficient and trouble-proof as it is 
 possible for a heating device to be made, 
 
 The ‘‘Progress”’ Boiler 
 
 The “Progress” Sectional Steam Boiler (illustrated at left) 
 is a distinctly individual type, possessing more points of 
 merit than any other boiler on the market. 
 
 The feed doors being pl.ced in the side of the boiler, 
 make it very easy to fire and clean the grates, owing to 
 the short depth of the fire chamber. 
 
 The wonderful success of the ‘Progress’ is due to 
 thorough combustion of fuel, and the perfect circulation of 
 the water in each section, caused by the unique triangular 
 construction of the sections coupled with the triple fire 
 travel—advantages which are only found in the “Progress.” 
 
 Twin Series—2 units installed as one and operated sep- 
 arately in mild weather cutting cost of installation and fuel.

 the “Progress” Boiler and other steam and hot water boilers 
 of our manufacture. May we mail you a copy?

Thrush System of Hot Water Heating 
 
 Made By 
 
 H. A. THRUSH & CO. 
 PERU, INDIANA 
 
 What Is It? 
 
 Thrush System of Hot Water Heat- 
 ing comprises added equipment to be 
 placed on any hot water heating boiler 
 to provide automatic control of dampers 
 and to make the system a “closed 
 system” under pressure. 
 
 Thrush equipment consists of the 
 Thrush Automatic Damper Regulator. 
 The Thrush Differential Pressure 
 Relief, the Air Tight Pressure Tank, 
 the Thrush Bell Cranks, Thermostat 
 and Gauge. Figure I shows installation. 
 
 and 
 
 A “Closed System’’ 
 
 A closed or controlled hot water heating system 
 operates under 
 pressure and is 
 sealed whereas the 
 ordinary gravity 
 hot water heating 
 job has an expan- 
 sion tank in the 
 attic or up-stairs 
 room and the only 
 pressure on _ the 
 system is_ the 
 weight of the water 
 from the highest 
 radiator to the water level in the expansion tank. A 
 closed system, on the other hand, operates under about 
 ten pounds pressure and therefore circulation is speeded 
 up, hotter radiators and increased heat radiation are 
 assured. The pressure tank is placed in the basement 
 close to the boiler where it cannot freeze and where 
 overflow will not damage anything. 
 
 THRUSH 
 
 Fig. I 
 
 Safe Control 
 
 Thrush System is sealed against the air and no 
 water can escape from the system when boiler is fired 
 (and the water expands), except through the Thrush 
 Differential Pressure Relief Valve. This valve does 
 not operate until the pressure reaches the point at 
 which it is set to operate. A safety factor of ten to 
 one eliminates all possibility of broken boilers and 
 keeps the water in the system harnessed and under 
 positive control. See figure II. 
 
 Providing Auto- 
 matic Regulation 
 increased 
 heating efficiency 
 for any hot-water 
 
 heating plant—old 
 
 or new. 
 
 Automatic 
 Regulation 
 of Dampers 
 
 The Thrush Regulator (see figure 
 III) keeps fires under control at all 
 times, thereby securing greatest fuel 
 economy, uniform room temperatures 
 
 and the maximum of personal comfort 
 in the home or building. For maintain- 
 ing different water temperatures only 
 a Simple adjustment of the weights on 
 the lever is necessary. There are no 
 electrical connections to get out of 
 order, no winding of motor or clock. The 
 Thrush method of piping makes it pos- 
 sible to place this Regulator in any posi- 
 tion giving the maximum of lever efficiency 
 for operating the dampers. 
 
 Comfortably Heated 
 Homes Easier to Sell! 
 
 The building contractor and home 
 builder who installs a Thrush System of 
 Hot Water Heating will find increased 
 value immediate. Home owners are look- 
 ing for efficient heating and they want to 
 get away from constant attention to ‘Thrush Differential 
 boilers. Thrush System provides that Pressure Relief 
 fuel economy, assurance of comfortable 
 temperatures, and freedom from constant attention which 
 they most desire. This appeals to both women and men— 
 the Thrush equipt home is easy to sell because of this big 
 feature, 
 
 Thrush System is not 
 expensive. Owing to re- 
 duced sizes of piping re- 
 quired a Thrush Regu- 
 lated plant containing 
 750 or more square feet 
 of radiation can be 
 furnished at the same 
 cost aS an ordinary un- 
 regulated gravity job.

The Minneapolis Heat Regulator 
 
 New York City MADE BY Philadelphia 
 Cleveland MINNEAPOLIS HEAT REGULATOR CO. Chicago 
 Milwaukee Boston 
 St. Louis Executive Offices and Factory St. Paul 
 
 2747-53 Fourth Ave. South, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 
 
 SLIGHT additional expense in the initial cost of build- 
 
 ing a home often results in economy in maintenance. 
 
 A well appointed home, built at a given cost always 
 has a higher investment value than an ill-planned house 
 built at an equal cost. 
 
 Heat Regulation in the Home 
 
 A very important part of a well planned home is the 
 heating plant. The question of heating is often given little 
 thought, yet it is entitled to the most consideration. Neither 
 a warm air furnace or a hot water or steam boiler will 
 be entirely satisfactory unless it can be properly regulated 
 to distribute an even, healthful heat. Proper heat insures 
 fuel economy, economy in repairs and upkeep, uniform 
 temperature, comfort, convenience, health and safety. 
 
 One Product For Over 40 Years 
 
 Minneapolis Heat Regulators are the original automatic 
 controlling devices. They have been manufactured and in 
 use for over 40 years and may be applied to correctly 
 regulate all types of heating plants, new or old, using coal, 
 coke, oil, gas, electricity, or combinations of these, as fuel. 
 They may be installed on steam, vacuum, or vapor heating 
 systems, on hot water boilers or warm air furnaces. 
 
 Concentration on the science of heat regulation has 
 resulted in the accumulation of valuable data as well as 
 in the constant improvement of “Minneapolis” regulators 
 and service. The Company’s acquired knowledge of heat 
 regulation is freely at the disposal of contractors and 
 builders. 
 
 Operation 
 
 The Minneapolis Heat Regulator consists of an attractively 
 designed thermostat placed conveniently on the wall of 
 the living room and connected by a small concealed electric 
 cable to a motor in the basement,—and a furnace or boiler 
 controlling device mounted on the heating plant. The 
 Motor, actuated by the room thermostat or the boiler control 
 device, performs the work of operating drafts, dampers, or 
 steam, oil or gas valves, of the heating plant. 
 
 Wxperience and research have proved that perfect regula- 
 tion of hot water, steam or vapor boilers, or warm air 
 furnaces requires more than automatic control by the room 
 thermostat, which is actuated only by atmospheric tem- 
 perature. Often the forcing of a fire to bring room tem- 
 perature to a given point causes excessive heating of the 
 boiler or furnace, due to the fact that water temperature 
 or steam pressure in the boiler, or heat generated in the 
 furnace, accumulates faster than radiators or registers can 
 transmit it to warm the rooms. The problem of eliminating 
 these periods of fuel waste and possible danger is solved 
 by the use of the limiting boiler or furnace control device 
 in connection with a “Minneapolis” room thermostat and 
 the motor. 
 
 ‘‘Minneapolis’”’ Room Thermostats 
 
 “Minneapolis” Room Thermostats are of three different 
 types: first, without clock attachment; second, with one 
 day clock; third, with eight day clock attachment. These 
 various thermostats are illustrated and described below. 
 
 With thermostat control, the house will never be over- 
 heated or underheated. The thermostat never tires, never 
 sleeps, never forgets, never loafs on the job, works 24 hours 
 a day, starts up the fire on zero mornings—all this with 
 never a care on the part of the home owner. The heat 
 regulator is a valuable little servant, strictly attentive to 
 business, always watchful over the comfort of the house. 
 
 When the affairs of the day claim attention or during the 
 sleeping hours, this attendant upon your convenience is 
 always present and alert—a constant conserver of time 
 during the day by eliminating the drudgery of operating 
 heating plant drafts and dampers, and a zealous guardian 
 of comfort by night. Whether it is a March blizzard or 
 autumn frost, a spring thaw or an Arctic record-breaker 
 on the outside, the thermostat sees to it that nothing 
 harsher than a day in June breaks in upon the family circle. 
 
 Model 40 Thermostat 
 
 All “Minneapolis” thermostats are of the same basic con- 
 struction. No matter which model of thermostat is used, 
 it is certain to be accurate and all “Minneapolis” thermostat 
 models work on the same unfailing, natural principle. The 
 design of the thermostat is a marvel of simplicity and 
 ingenuity. 
 
 Model 40 room thermostat is built with the same care 
 and precision as the clock type instruments illustrated below 
 and is designed for operation where the clock is not neces- 
 sary or desired, as in school-houses, factories, churches, 
 ete., where a certain degree of heat is to be maintained at 
 all times. 
 
 Model 47 One Day Thermostat 
 
 This themostat is furnished with a one- 
 day clock, which, when wound at night, and 
 the thermostat indicator lowered to the night 
 temperature desired, will automatically raise 
 the temperature to day time level at any 
 given morning hour, by means of the alarm 
 mechanism of the clock. This assures a 
 cool dwelling during sleeping hours and 
 warm rooms to dress in. This thermostat 
 as well as the Model 40 previously described, 
 is finished in sand-blast bronze, which blends 
 nicely with almost any color scheme of room 
 decoration. 
 
 Model 77 Eight Day Thermostat With 
 Seven Jeweled Clock 
 
 This thermostat marks the latest development in automatic 
 temperature controlling devices. This is the most auto- 
 matic of the “Minneapolis” thermostats and has an 8-day 
 clock attachment manufactured by the Min- 
 neapolis Heat Regulator Company. The clock 
 used with this thermostat is equal, if not su- 
 perior to any clock of its type manufactured 
 ‘here or abroad. The movement is jeweled, 
 with seven rubies and sapphires, with genuine 
 ~bi-metallic expansion balance. Every clock 
 part is extra heavy, insuring rigidity to the 
 movement and a durable time-piece with ex- 
 cellent time keeping qualities. 
 
 This high-grade clock—an integral part of 
 the thermostat, will automatically lower 
 house temperature to any desired night time 
 level at the retiring hour, and again auto- 
 matically raise the temperature at any speci- 
 fied hour in the morning, to the normal day 
 degree. This automatic action is repeated 
 daily, morning and night, for eight days with one winding. 
 In keeping with the surrounding of the finest homes, tne 
 Model 77 thermostat is finished in a dull brushed silver.

 “Minneapolis”? Motors 
 
 The three types of motors illustrated and described in 
 the following paragraphs are all made with the utmost care 
 and precision. Non-corroding brass gears are used and strong 
 dust-proof outer casings fully protect each motor and keep 
 it in exact alignment. 
 
 Electric Motor 
 
 This new motor is furnished for use with either alter- 
 nating or direct current and is built on basic principles 
 that have proven their re- 
 liability in previous mecdels 
 thru years of actual use and 
 experience. The A. C. Motor 
 is complete in one unit, in- 
 eluding transformer, connects 
 direct to the house lighting 
 circuit and never requires 
 winding. It is completely en- 
 closed in a die-cast aluminum 
 housing with sleeving at shaft 
 openings to exclude dust and 
 moisture. The lifting ability 
 of this motor far exceeds any demands which drafts or 
 valves would put upon it. The electric motor has been 
 tested and approved by the National Board of Fire Under- 
 writers and is particularly recommended for use with gas 
 or oil fired heating systems, or with central station heating. 
 
 Spring Type Motor 
 
 The power for this motor 
 is furnished by a heavy spring, 
 which gives the motor ample 
 power to handle the heaviest 
 drafts or valves. One winding 
 of the motor every week or 
 ten days is all that is neces- 
 sary, and the wind indicator 
 shows when re-winding is 
 necessary. This motor is pro- 
 vided with an _ automatic 
 safety switch, so that if the 
 motor is allowed to run down 
 the heating plant will always 
 be shut off on the motor’s last operation. This feature is 
 of extreme importance as it practically eliminates fire 
 hazard. 
 
 Gravity Motor 
 
 This type motor is designed for 
 attachment to the basement ceiling 
 and motive power is furnished by 
 an iron weight sufficiently heavy to 
 operate dampers and drafts of the 
 average heating plant. The principle 
 of operation is similar to that of 
 the old-fashioned grandfather’s clock 
 and motor is wound by pulling up 
 the weight once each day. This 
 Bl motor also has the ‘Minneapolis’ 
 L ie safety switch feature. 
 
 Economy and Safety 
 
 The Minneapolis Heat Regulator saves, on the average, 
 from 1/5 to 1/38 on fuel costs—on any type of fuel. Elimi- 
 nating the added comfort, convenience, and even, healthful 
 temperature which results, economy alone justifies the 
 installation of a Minneapolis Heat Regulator. However, the 
 presence or absence of comfort and convenience makes the 
 difference between a home and a house. 
 
 Th regulator will not only pay for itself in fuel saving, 
 but when paid for, will continue to produce dividends in fuel 
 saving for many years. 
 
 The safety feature of this installation should also be con- 
 sidered. There is no need to worry about drafts or dampers 
 whenaway from home. The furnace or boiler cannot become 
 overheated,—the room will always be temperate—never 
 torrid or frigid, and there’s no danger of drafts being kept 
 opened or closed until the fire’s out. The installation of 
 a Minneapolis Heat Regulator insures effective, dependable 
 and proper temperature control.

 Installation Diagram 
 
 This diagram illustrates a typical ‘“Minneapolis” installa- 
 tion, showing the convenient means of controlling the 
 heating system, both by room temperature, and boiler 
 pressure or temperature or furnace temperature. In this 
 case the double check on a steam boiler is shown. The 
 thermostat controls room temperature. The clock auto- 
 matically lowers temperature at night and raises it in the 
 morning. The motor, actuated by the thermostat operates 
 heating plant drafts and dampers and the pressurestat 
 limits the amount of heat to be generated. 
 
 Boiler Control Devices 
 
 These devices, the hydrostat for control of hot water 
 boilers or warm air furnaces, and the pressurestat for 
 controlling steam, vapor or vacuum systems, are used in 
 connection with the room thermostat and motor to effect 
 a double check on the heating plant, and may also be used 
 alone to keep hot water supply systems, boilers or furnaces 
 at a constant temperature, 
 
 Model 65 Hydrostat 
 
 The hydrostat principle of operation is the same as that 
 of the room thermostat. These instruments operate in 
 accordance with a simple, natural, law and have no in- 
 tricate mechanism that is easily put out of adjustment. 
 The Model 65 Hydrostat when used on hot water heating 
 systems, is mounted on the boiler. It may also be used 
 in control of warm air heating plants and in such case is 
 mounted on one of the main ducts near the furnace casing. 
 In either case, the hydrostat will co-ordinate perfectly with 
 the room thermostat in causing the motor to operate drafts, 
 dampers or valves. 
 
 Model 70 Pressurestat 
 
 The pressurestat gives perfect control at all times when 
 used in dual control with the room thermostat, because 
 through a patented arrangement of contacts and wiring on 
 the pressurestat, the room thermostat is at all times in 
 control to limit the amount of heat. The pressurestat is 
 used only on steam, vapor or vacuum heating systems, and 
 is a very reliable, sturdy instrument.

“BUFFALO BREEZO” 
 
 FOR HOME VENTILATION 
 
 Manufactured by 
 BUFFALO FORGE COMPANY 
 
 443 Broadway, Buffalo, N. Y. 
 
 Need for Home Ventilation 
 
 Ventilation for the home kitchen has been very much 
 neglected in the past, and the interest which is now being 
 shown is due to the success of the ‘Buffalo Breezo” for 
 home ventilation. 
 
 When you place a “Breezo”’ in a kitchen window you are 
 installing “health insurance.” This quiet little fan takes 
 kitchen odors,—grease, smoke and “headachy”’ fumes out of 
 the kitchen, and draws the stale air out of the entire house. 
 
 Think what this means to the one who does the cooking! 
 Imagine a house always free from annoying and embarrass- 
 ing odors! 
 
 When cool air is wanted in the kitchen, a pull at the 
 cord attached to the Breezo switch reverses the fan and 
 draws the tresh out-door air into the house. 
 
 This shows the fan, switch and adjustable panel. Fan can 
 also be furnished without panel and without switch for wall 
 installation. 
 
 Simple to Install—Costs Little to Operate 
 
 When the fan is equipped with the pull switch, the switch 
 is always attached to the fan completely wired up ready 
 for use. If the adjustable 
 panel is furnished, it will 
 be found in a separate 
 crate, equipped with 
 necessary bolts for at- 
 taching same to the fan 
 and ring. The adjustable 
 end pieces for the panel 
 are enclosed in the box 
 with) the = fan? proper. 
 These should be put into 
 the grooves on the panel 
 and after adjusted to the 
 proper length to corre- 
 spond to the width of the 
 window should be clamped 
 down by tightening up 
 the four brass screws in 
 the panel. With each 
 panel is furnished two 
 brass. templates. One 
 should be placed on each 
 side of the window on the 
 strip as high up as they 
 will go, and the four 
 special screws should be 
 used for holding the tem- 
 plate in place. The screws 
 are usually located back 
 about 2 to 2%” from the 
 -window sash and when 
 the screws are driven 
 home they are exactly the 
 right distance apart to 
 allow the panel and fan 
 to be slipped in position 
 through the notched slot 
 in the panel. The panel 
 should be set in the ; , 
 notches which will just permit the upper window to be 
 raised and lowered without striking the fan. 
 
 Two lengths of chain with eyelets are furnished. If the 
 upper window consists of one large pane of glass, these 
 chains should be used to enable the window to be readily 
 raised and lowered. The two eyelets which are attached 
 to the chain should be screwed in to the window sash as 
 near the glass as possible, and about 3” from the top. The 
 other two eyelets should be screwed in 16” lower down. 
 The chain should then be slipped through the two lower 
 
 eyelets and the eyelets closed. This permits you to readily 
 raise and lower the window. If, however, the window has 
 two or more panes, the chains are not required, as the cross 
 strips readily permit raising and lowering of the window. 
 
 Well Made 
 
 The BREEZO fan has 20% MORE! CAPACITY than other 
 fans of the same size and power consumption. The im- 
 proved, modern multiblade wheel delivers the air directly 
 forward and away from the side of the house. 
 
 Light, strong all-steel construction; large bronzebushed 
 bearings; a motor large enough not to require artificial 
 ventilation, totaliy enclosed and lubricated by large bear- 
 ings which require re-oiling only once every 1,000 hours; 
 this fan is truly the greatest VALUE obtainable! 
 
 The adjustable steel panel fits the kitchen windows 
 snugly. Fan may be left in place permanently or taken 
 down if desired in a jiffy. Whether in place or not, the 
 fan does not interfere with opening and closing of the 
 window.

 Specifications and Prices 
 
 Tho panel dimensions which are shown above are known as the short and the 
 long panel. The snort panel is adjustable for all windows from 26” to 36” in 
 width measuring from one window strip to the other, and the long panel is suit- 
 able for any window measuring 36” to 46” between the strips. In addition to 
 the two standard panels we also make one known as the special, which is used 
 for any window between 22” and 26” in width. Price of all panels is the 
 same, Be sure to specify which is desired, In addition always state the 
 characteristics of the electric current available. The motors are carried in stock 
 for 110 volts direct current, 60 cycle, and 25 cyele single phase alternating cur- 
 rent. The following are the list prices of the 12” BUFFALO “‘BREEZO’”’ with

 The standard 12” BUFFALO ‘‘BREEZO” for home ventilation is equipped with 
 a 750 R.P.M. motor, which is reversible, and it is very quiet in operation. If 
 the fan is to be installed in some place other than the home, where a slight 
 humming noise is not objectionakle. a higher speed motor, running at about 1150 
 R.P.M., can be furnished at the same price. The motor is built on the same 
 frame, but it is not reversible. It can, however, be furnished with the adjustable 
 panel and with a start and stop switch, the only difference is that the higher 
 speed motor does not have the reversible feature.

 E-Z ONE BOLT RADIATOR HANGER OR BRACKET, both 
 styles adapted for hanging all makes and sizes of radiators, in- 
 cluding Corto and Aero, on any wall. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 The wall is the logical place for radiation. When a radiator 
 is hung on the wall it offers no obstruction when cleaning floors, 
 carpets or rugs. No heated legs to soften floor varnish or warp 
 the flooring. Appearance, convenience, floor cleaning, ease and 
 economy and decreased installation cost all result from the use of 
 -Z Radiator Hangers. 
 
 These hangers are adapted to ANY type of construction, whether 
 concrete, brick, hollow tile, gypsum block or frame wall. 
 
 Each hanger requires but one anchor bolt which may be set 
 during construction. 
 
 No accurate measurements needed, since hangers can be ad- 
 justed both vertically and horizontally. Radiators can be hung, 
 all connections made, system tested and bronzed before floors are 
 laid, thus effecting considerable saving in installation cost, and 
 preventing any possible marring of floors. 
 
 E-Z Radiator Hangers 
 are designed for all wall 
 and column radiation and 
 are self-adjusting to ex- 
 pansion. Temperature

CLARK GAS PRODUCER 
 
 Made By 
 
 AMERICAN HEATING & LIGHTING CO. 
 MORENCI, MICHIGAN 
 
 ILLUSTRATION SHOWS PRODUCER PLANT AND ITS APPLICATIONS 
 
 Products 
 
 This company manufactures the Clark Gas Producer—a 
 complete plant for furnishing the gas supply for cooking 
 and room heating purposes (when the regular heating plant 
 is not being used) in suburban and other homes where no 
 city gas supply is available. Also make the Clark High 
 Speed Water Heater described on page 416. 
 
 Advantages 
 
 A Clark installation provides the home with an abundant 
 supply of the finest gas that can be produced for furnishing 
 fuel to the gas range, hot water heater, laundry stove, 
 Pilot-lite for oil burning furnace, laundry mangle and 
 Humphrey Radiant-fire for room heating in spring and fall. 
 It is the only Gas Producer guaranteed to operate the 
 Humphrey Radiant-fire. 
 
 Safe, Clean, Rapid, Economical 
 
 The Clark Gas Producer is buried in the ground outside 
 of building. Filler pipes leading to the surface offer a con- 
 venient method of furnishing the gasoline supply as needed. 
 
 Quick evaporation off gasoline from this submerged 
 storage tank or carburetor furnishes an adequate supply of 
 gas under all conditions. 
 
 There are no explosion chambers and no high pressure 
 air feed. Automatic mixers so often featured in gas in- 
 stallations and which often do not operate properly, are 
 not used in Clark Gas Producers. Clark Gas is developed 
 in a more efficient and more natural way. There are no 
 objectionable generating noises. Superheating of gasoline 
 —a common practice in producing gas, and one that causes 
 carbon to accumulate—is not used in the Clark process. 
 
 The Clark Gas Producer is purely automatic, no valves 
 
 of any kind on it. Oil it once every ten years. Light it 
 and use it just as you would city gas. It is so safe a child 
 ean handle it without the slightest danger of any kind. 
 
 Two Types of Air Blowers Used 
 
 Where electricity is not available, a wright device is used 
 to operate the air blower in place of the electric air blower. 
 In other respects both installations are identical and equally 
 efficient. 
 
 Construction 
 
 Clark Gas Producers are built to last a lifetime. 
 
 The combination carburetor and storage tank, buried in 
 the ground outside is made of heavy Armco Galvanized 
 Iron—with a world-wide reputation for its rust-resisting 
 and lasting qualities—regular boiler construction—closely 
 riveted and securely soldered inside and out. Outside cast- 
 ings are made of solid brass. 
 
 Every carburetor is thoroughly inspected and air tested. 
 Then treated with three coats of special mineral paint to 
 resist rust. 
 
 A Permanent Investment 
 
 A Clark Gas Producer means no great expense for install- 
 ing and over a period of years satisfactory service will 
 prove a great economy. There is nothing exposed to the 
 weather and nothing to wear out. 
 
 Many carburetors buried in the ground thirty years ago 
 are giving satisfactory service today, proving conclusively 
 the durability of Clark construction and materials.

GAS SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT 
 
 Recommended by 
 
 ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’ SERVICE COMMITTEE 
 AMERICAN GAS ASSOCIATION 
 342 Madison Avenue 
 
 The Service of Gas 
 
 Gas is the cleanest, most reliable and most con- 
 venient household fuel for cooking, water heating 
 and room heating as well as for other domestic 
 uses. In nearly every case it is also the most eco- 
 nomical fuel for these purposes. Among its chief 
 advantages over other fuels are: freedom from smoke 
 and soot, constant supply ready for any demand, 
 simple control and ease of heat regulation, efficiency 
 per dollar cost, and no investment in fuel required 
 previous to use. 
 
 Economy in Gas Service 
 
 Gas should never be wasted, but neither should 
 the cost of gas for domestic use be reckoned 
 solely by the monthly bill. Real economy in home 
 planning and budgetting for household-management 
 should be reckoned along the lines of the needs and 
 requirements of the household, both present ‘and 
 future. Check off the items chargeable to other 
 fuels, and credit to gas service,—the satisfaction 
 of a constant supply of fuel that requires no money 
 in advance, no storage space, no labor, no dirt 
 dust or ashes. A service that carries the assurance 
 of entire freedom from costly annoyance. In short, 
 efficiency, which is after all, only another word for 
 economy. In figuring building costs, do not lmit 
 on necessary gas piping, flues and appliances. The 
 time is not far distant when gas will be the universal 
 fuel for all household heating processes. 
 
 Original Installation 
 
 In designing and building a home, builders (in an effort 
 to keep down the initial cost) often provide the very 
 minimum gas service and appliances—sometimes only a 
 range, seldom more than a range and water heater. Even 
 in selecting the types of ranges and heaters, the low price 
 factor has been used as a guide. This effort to maintain 
 a low initial cost of construction is a penny-wide-pound- 
 foolish policy as it penalizes the housekeeper by depriving 
 her of economical and labor saving gas appliances which 
 she needs and desires or else makes their later installation 
 cost more than necessary. On the other hand, the installation 
 of a modern cabinet range, good water heater, space heaters 
 and other efficient devices adds greatly to the value—and 
 salability—of the house. 
 
 Providing Adequate Piping and Flues 
 
 Each year sees an increase in gas consumption per home, 
 and that this rate of increase is growing faster every year, 
 is definite evidence that gas will eventually replace other 
 fuels in the home, and undoubtedly this will include house 
 heating as well as cooking, water heating and other more 
 usual domestic uses of gas. 
 
 As home builders and homekeepers come more and more 
 to depend on gas service they will require more and better 
 gas appliances. The wise builder will therefore look to 
 the future by providing in advance for the service and appli- 
 ances which even in a few short years will be introduced 
 into the homes. The two essential items under this head 
 are proper piping and adequate ventilation. With these 
 suitably provided, it will not require ripping up walls or floors 
 
 Cost of Piping 
 
 The cost of piping installed at time of erection is relatively 
 small, compared with the total cost of the building and the 
 increased value of the premises so equipped. This cost varies 
 in different localities, but is approximately 1 per cent of the 
 total cost of the building; this figure covers the most elaborate 
 piping layout required to cover every normal situation. If, 
 however, the demands of the tenant or purchaser require pipe 
 installation after the building is completed the cost will be 
 greatly increased. In addition, the installation is liable to be 
 unsightly, and the necessary work a source of annoyance to 
 the occupant of the building. 
 
 Preventing Service Troubles 
 
 Builders should be sure the piping not only complies with 
 local building requirements but is of adequate size to ensure 
 an ample supply of gas for all purposes. 
 
 Gas Company records indicate that many consumers experi- 
 ence service trouble due solely to piping which is too small or 
 which has been improperly installed. The following general 
 principles and practices are offered by the American Gas 
 Association as a help to architects, contractors, plumbers and 
 home builders so that by cooperation in the interests of better 
 gas service, house owners may get the utmost value, comfort 
 and convenience from this part of their home equipment. 
 
 General Principles 
 
 As local conditions govern, to a great extent, the practice 
 and installation of gas piping, it is requested, that before 
 you let your contract for this important part of your building, 
 your local Gas Company be consulted. 
 
 1. The piping shall be constructed so as to be durable, 
 substantial and gas tight, and shall be of ample size for 
 the purposes intended. 
 
 2. Piping shall be installed with the best materials and 
 workmanship. 
 
 3. Pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined before 
 using, and defective pieces rejected. 
 
 4, Piping should not be laid under tile, parquet, or 
 mosaic floors, where it is at all possible to avoid it. 
 
 5. Piping should not be run to bottom of beams that are 
 to be covered with lath and plaster, but should be run 
 along top of beams or joist where it is possible, so that it 
 will be accessible by raising the floor boards, which, when 
 covering such piping, should be fastened with brass screws. 
 
 6. Gas burning appliances shall be adequately supported 
 and installed in accordance with the rules and regulations of 
 the local gas company. 
 
 7. Automatically controlled large volume appliances with 
 pilot ignition should be flue connected. 
 
 8. No device or attachment shall be installed on any 
 apphance that will in any way impair the combustions of 
 the gas. 
 
 9. All gas appliances shall, wherever practical, be con- 
 nected solid with iron connections. Plain rubber hose shall 
 in no case, be permitted. Flexible hose, properly designed 
 and approved by the proper authorities may, in certain 
 cases, be permitted; but where so used, a stop cock should 
 be placed near the supply pipe. Such hose conform to 
 A. G. A. Specifications. 
 
 10. Water Heaters should not be installed in bathrooms 
 without flue connections.

 CONSIDER ALL OF THESE GAS APPLIANCES when planning a home and provide convenient connections 
 
 for them in your gas piping so that those not installed when the house is built can be installed later on, if 
 desired, without altering the original piping. A little foresight when the house is being bwilt will save many dollars 
 of expense later on.

BARBER Patented GAS BURNERS 
 
 For Residential Heating in Natural Gas Districts 
 Manufactured by 
 
 The GLEVELAND GAS BURNER @APPLIANGE GO, 
 
 Burner Specialists 
 
 3102-04 Superior Avenue, 
 
 Cleveland, Ohio 
 
 Product 
 
 Barber Patented Gas Burn- 
 ers of the types listed on 
 this page, are made in a va- 
 riety of styles and capacities 
 principally for residential 
 heating, in furnaces, steam 
 and hot water boilers, in 
 Natural gas districts. Our 
 Jet Burners shown on the 
 next page are used in Arti- 
 ficial and Mixed gas districts, 
 also in smaller appliances 
 upon Natural gas. 
 Design and Principle 
 
 Barber Patented Gas Burners are designed and 
 constructed by Gas Burner Specialists, on scientific 
 principles, there being no mechanical air-mixer to 
 retard the flow of gas, or to cause back-firimg under 
 low or fluctuating gas pressure. 
 
 The air and gas are mixed by confluence, after the 
 gas has left the burner orifices, creating a vacuum 
 which draws into the flame, the necessary amount of 
 
 air to cause a perfect mixture The necessary volume 
 of air, being in proper proportion to the gas pres- 
 sure, and passing within the body of the flame, be- 
 comes superheated, thereby causing perfect combus- 
 tion in a blast flame from eight to ten inches high, 
 according to the gas pressure. 
 
 Efficiency and Economy 
 
 Barber Burners develop 25 to 40 per cent more 
 heat upon varying gas pres- 
 sures than is developed by 
 mixer type burners, and will 
 develop efficiently and _ eco- 
 nomically the required heat 
 on one ounce of gas pressure. 
 
 They will burn on atmospheric pressure—will not 
 back-fire or deposit carbon—will operate with any 
 good thermostat—and can be quickly removed or re- 
 placed, as desired. 
 
 Their unit form of construction provides wide 
 flexibility of gas control, permitting the use of only 
 such units as are actually required in mild weather, 
 or the use of all units in cold weather.

 Premier, Keystone and Marvel Storage Gas Water Heaters 
 illustrated and described on this page. 
 
 Premier Insulated Automatic 
 Storage Gas Water Heater: 
 
 The Premier is an insulated 
 
 storage water heater which pro- 
 vides a constant supply of piping 
 hot water at minimum cost. Its 
 operation is entirely automatic. 
 It is built to give positive satis- 
 faction and enduring service. 
 The Premier has a heating ele- 
 ment of scientific design, without 
 coils and is practically lim e- 
 proof. It is silent, odorless and 
 safe. 
 Operation—The Premier is auto- 
 matic in action. It is a self-con- 
 tained unit: heater and storage 
 :ank are within the same insulated 
 jacket. Itruns itself. A thermo- 
 static device controls the lighting 
 and extinguishing of the big blue- 
 flame burner. A tankful of water 
 is held at any desired tempera- 
 ture between 80° and 190° F. 
 
 When the Premier is first 
 lighted, the tank-full of water is 
 quickly heated to the tempera- 
 ture for which the theomostat is 
 set. The instant this tempera- 
 ture is reached, the thermostat 
 shuts off the gas supply to the 
 main burner—and an abundance 
 of instant hot water is always 
 ready at the turn of a faucet. 
 When the withdrawal of hot wa- 
 Automatic Insulated ter lowers the temperature in 
 Storage Gas Water the tank only 14° to 18° the 
 
 Heater thermostat instantly starts the 
 burner heating more. 
 
 PREMIER 
 
 The Heating Element—The cold water enters the heating ele- 
 ment through the large opening at the top. Then it passes 
 down through the channels, or arms, to the lower compart- 
 ment, where it is spread in a thin flowing sheet. As the 
 hottest part of the burner flame plays on this portion of the 
 “spreader,” the water absorbs the heat from the gas without 
 waste. Immediately upon being heated, it rises through the 
 central pipe, and is discharged at the top of the tank. 
 
 The water thus heated is replaced by cold water from 
 the bottom of the tank, creating a constant and rapid cir- 
 culation and heating the entire tank quickly and efficiently. 
 In addition to its great efficiency, the spreader cannot burn 
 out. Having no flat surfaces, pockets or dead ends, ‘‘lime- 
 up” troubles are also practically eliminated. 
 
 Burner—The Premier Bunsen burner is made in one piece and 
 is designed to give a blue flame of maximum efficiency. No 
 gauze is used and trouble from back firing is eliminated. 
 The burner is fitted with a specially designed mixer, assur- 
 ing a correct proportion of gas and air. It has a special 
 gas cock designed to give a high nozzle velocity on low 
 gas pressure. It operates with either natural or artificial 
 gas. 
 
 Insulation—Premier economy is further increased by the fact 
 that when water is once heated it stays hot for many hours. 
 The heavily insulated storage tank allows only a slight 
 radiation loss. A thick jacket of asbestos completely sur- 
 rounds the storage tank and heating chamber. With its 
 protective outer sheath of steel, this insulation conserves 
 heat like a giant ‘‘Thermos” bottle. 
 
 Storage Tank—The Premier tank is constructed of double 
 extra-heavy sheets, heavily galvanized both inside and out. 
 Or the tank may be of double-weight copper, if desired. Hot 
 and cold water connections and fittings are of brass. 
 
 Finish—The steel jacket which covers and protects the insula- 
 tion is finished in smart Premier gray enamel. The top, 
 base, door and fittings are first copper-plated and then 
 heavily nickeled. 
 
 Sizes—The Premier is built in three sizes for domestic and 
 business use. 
 
 Size No. 2—For homes with one bath, kitchen sink, usual 
 number of lavatories and laundry trays. $125. 
 
 Size No. 3—For homes with two baths, kitchen sink, usual 
 number of lavatories and laundry trays. $160. 
 
 Size No. 4—For homes and apartments with three or four 
 baths, larger barber shops, restaurants, clubs, etc. Double 
 burner equipment—double quick heating. $250. 
 
 All prices F. O. B. at factory. On display and ready for’ 
 delivery at all Crane Exhibit Rooms. 
 
 The Keystone Automatic 
 Storage Gas Water Heater: 
 
 The Keystone is very much like 
 the Premier in appearance and 
 construction. The tank is extra 
 heavy, inclosed in a thick asbestos 
 insulating jacket, with outer 
 sheath of steel. All circulating 
 pipes and fittings are galvanized. 
 
 The Keystone is a durable and 
 handsome gas water heater at a 
 moderate price. It has the same 
 sturdy thermostat, burner and 
 heating element of the Premier 
 and the operating cost is only a 
 few cents a day. 
 
 The Keystone is made in two 
 sizes: No. 2-20 at factory, $70; 
 and No. 3-35 at factory, $97.50. 
 Specifications and recommenda- 
 tions are the same as correspond- 
 ing sizes of the Premier. 
 
 KEYSTONE 
 Automatic, Insulated 
 Storage Water Heater No. 2 
 
 Marvel Non-Automatic 
 Storage Heater: 
 
 The Marvel has the same heating 
 element and storage capacity as the 
 Premier but is not automatic and is 
 not insulated. When hot water is 
 wanted, the burner is lighted by hand. 
 In a very short time the entire con- 
 tent of the tank is heated. The burner 
 may then be turned low or out as 
 desired. The Marvel is more efficient 
 than side-arm combination heaters and 
 tanks, as it is built all in one piece 
 and uses the rising heat to better ad- 
 vantage, recovering a much greater 
 percentage of the heat units. 
 
 Tank is extra heavy, galvanized in- 
 side and out. Furnished with heat-re- 
 taining pan stand. 
 
 The Marvel heater is made in four 
 sizes. No. 18, 12 gallons capacity, $30; 
 No. 24, 17 gallons capacity, $31; No. 32, 
 23 gallons capacity, $32; No. 42, 31

 Hot Water Heaters 
 There is a Dahlquist Hot Water Heater to meet every 
 condition. Gas, kerosene, electric and an automatic for a 
 continuous supply of hot water at an even temperature. 
 
 Dahlquist Aquatherm 
 
 The patented Dahlquist Aquatherm conveys hot water 
 direct into the circulating system. 
 
 It consists of two tubes, one within the other and an 
 air space between them. It extends from the hot water 
 connection nearest the heater, up through the cold water 
 on the inside of the tank and connects direct to the 
 circulating system. Thus the hot water is not easily cooled 
 by the cold water. Small holes at the top of the Aquatherm 
 permit the surplus hot water to be stored at the top of 
 the tank. 
 
 Hot water is produced in one and one half minutes. 
 
 The Aquatherm is sold in connection with the Dahlquist 
 copper tank or by itself. 
 
 Any plumber can install the Aquatherm in your own 
 hot water tank.

 “Holyoke” Kerosene and 
 
 Product 
 Tank Water Heaters (Kerosene and Gas Fired) 
 
 “Holyoke” Kerosene Water Heaters 
 
 Hot Water is no longer regarded a city convenience alone—the suburban 
 and country homes may also enjoy one of the greatest household necessities— 
 hot water and plenty of it, through the installation of a ‘“Holyoke’’ Kerosene 
 Water Heater. The ‘‘Holyoke’’ Kerosene Heater is unique, in that it may be 
 used in any place where there is a water supply. 
 
 An Unusually Rapid and 
 
 “Holyoke” No. 4-30 (Kerosene) Economical Water Heater 
 
 In appearance, design, performance and efficiency, ‘‘Holyoke’’ Tank 
 Water Heaters are unsurpassed. 
 
 The arrangement of the ‘‘Holyoke’’ quadruple patented seamless 
 copper coil makes it an unusually rapid heater. The half turn of the 
 coil baffles the rising heated gases, thus utilizing much heat that is wasted 
 in other types of coil construction. 
 
 The tubes are of such size that, in the aggregate, the coils present 
 the greatest amount of heating surface to a given volume of water pass- 
 ing through them. Each of the 4 tubes is 7% in. in diameter, with a total 
 of 30 ft. of tubing per coil. 
 
 HOT WATER COLD WATER 
 
 Ss ‘‘Holyoke’’ Heaters provide an ample 
 amount of hot water quickly, with a mini- 
 mum consumption of fuel. Every heater is 
 thoroughly tested under 250 lb. water pressure before leaving our factory. 
 
 ‘‘Holyoke’’ Heaters are intended for attachment to any type of range 
 boiler or tank and are non-automatie in operation, i. e., they are manually lighted 
 and extinguished. 
 
 The burner is our New Improved blue flame wick type. It is instantly 
 and positively regulated and combustion is practically odorless. Burner 1s 
 attached to a removable cast iron plate supported by the heater back and held 
 in place by a small screw, permitting easy removal for cleaning purposes. 
 
 Shell is of cast iron, attractively finished in durable black enamel. 
 
 A 9-pint kerosene reservoir is furnished as a part of each heater.

 Hotstream Kerosene Water Heater No. 20 K. W.: 
 
 This burner is particularly adopted for use in country 
 and suburban homes where there is no gas supply, but it 
 can be easily and quickly converted to use gas. It operates 
 in the same general manner as gas heaters and will give 
 satisfactory service in every way. 
 
 Instantly lighted at the touch of a match. No generation 
 required. Burns with a steady blue flame without noise, 
 soot, smoke or odor. Flame can be regulated high or low 
 as desired. Heater can be kept going constantly with a low 
 flame, which insures a plentiful supply of hot water at all 
 times. 
 
 perfect combustion of this burner 
 
 means a substantial saving of 
 fuel. It consumes 90 gallons of tee 
 air to one gallon of kerosene— = | 
 burning 19% hours on a full fire 
 and 30 hours on a low fire. 
 
 A special feature of this heater 
 is the Coil Assembly consisting 
 of four % inch copper coils con- 
 nected to brass manifolds with 
 union connectors. Their compact- 
 ness brings the entire surface of the coils in close contact 
 with the flame. This, together with the small diameter of 
 the coils, insures quick heating of water at low fuel con- 
 sumption—furnishing hot water at a usable temperature 
 on the first circulation. 
 
 The No. 20 GK is a larger heater recommended for greater 
 hot water demand.

 Tanks: 
 
 The tanks are made in 20, 30 and 50 
 gallon capacities. The 20 and 30 gallon 
 tanks have a shell of No. 11 gauge 
 steel, head of No. 8 gauge steel, and 
 bottom is 7 of an inch thick. They 
 are hot dipped galvanized inside and 
 out and tested to 200 pounds water pres- 
 sure, All seams are riveted and welded.

 Copper boilers can be furnished when 
 desired. Tanks are firmly supported on 
 three heavy cast iron legs, bolted to a 
 east iron ring to which the tank is 
 fastened. 
 
 Heater: 
 
 The heater shell is of cast iron, heavily 
 enameled in black. Coils, jacket and 
 burner are arranged to transfer maxi- 
 mum heat from the gas to the water in 
 the coils. Circulating connections are 
 oversized—one inch pipe in the 20 and 
 30 gallon capacity, and 14 inch pipe in 
 the 50 gallon. Water entering the heater 
 coil is taken from a point in the tank 
 two inches above the bottom, avoiding 
 the disturbing of any sediment that may 
 have collected. The heater sets low on 
 the tank which reduces back circulation 
 and cuts down standby losses. 
 
 Insulation: 
 
 The extra thick hair felt, degreased 
 and sterilized, is the best insulator known, 
 It is wrapped around the tank of the 
 Welsbach and protected by a sheet steel 
 casing. It keeps the water hot for hours 
 and hours without any burning of gas. 
 
 Water Coil: 
 
 The double copper coil is of No. 18 
 gauge, which insures long life. It al- 
 lows a full, free flow of water and pro- 
 
 No. 20

 vides for rapid heating and economical 
 operation. 
 
 Thermostat: 
 
 A thermostat of the magnetic snap 
 action type is used. Temperature of water 
 in the tank is maintained between 145 
 and 160 degrees. Whenever, through 
 withdrawal of hot water or from gradual 
 cooling, temperature falls ‘below 145 de- 
 grees, the thermostat automatically turns 
 on the gas to heat it up again. 
 
 Burner: 
 
 The burner is of gauzeless, single piece, 
 cast iron construction, readily removable 
 from Bunsen tube for cleaning. It con- 
 forms with the recommendations of the 
 Bureau of Standards. Under test, this 
 burner and heater shows no _ carbon 
 monoxide, 
 
 Fittings and Pipe Sizes: 
 
 All pipes and fittings that come in con- 
 tact with water are of copper or brass 
 to avoid rust contamination. One inch 
 water inlet and outlet pipes, terminating 
 in full brass unions are used. Gas sup- 
 ply pipes are half inch.

 THE MERION:—A High Quality Automatic Storage 
 Heater Built in Large Volume at a Price and Operating 
 Cost, So Low, That Every Home Can Afford One 
 
 Hot Water at Low Cost—The low price of the family size 
 Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired Water Heater, $70.00, 
 permits you to place this modern convenience in every home, 
 regardless of price. In addition, its economy of operation 
 results in low gas bill for the user. On request we -will be 
 glad to furnish records or copies of gas bills proving this 
 claim. 
 
 Features of the Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired 
 Water Heater— The Merion Automatic is a highly developed 
 and efficient storage water heater that heats the entire 
 eontents of the tank to 160° F., and, like a giant thermos 
 bottle, keeps the water at this temperature for immediate 
 use at all hot water faucets. 
 
 The construction and operation of this high efficiency, 
 silent, safe and economical heater are fullv explained in the 
 illustration below. 
 
 Draft Hood—Burned gases pass out here ee 
 
 and into the flue. 
 
 Hot Water Outlet—A sunply of hot 
 water at 160° F., is always available. 
 
 Hot Water Riser—Through this tube the 
 hot water rises directly to the top of the tank. 
 No coils are used in the Merion. 
 
 Storage Tank—Extra_ heavy “electric 
 weld” boiler. No solder, no rivets, no leaks. 
 
 Casing—Heavy steel. Finished in robin’s 
 egg blue enamel (Automobile Lacquer) which 
 is practically indestructible. 
 
 Heating Element—Cold water descends 
 into the heating element, spreads over the 
 hot inner surface of the element in a thin 
 sheet, and rises through the tube in the 
 center to the top of the tank. 
 
 ‘ Combustion Chamber—Enclosed and _ well 
 insulated. Never gets hot on outside, Takes 
 care of condensation and draft interference. 
 
 Self-closing Lighting Hole—Used only 
 when lighting the heater. The Merion has 
 no door or other openings that would allow 
 drafts to affect the burner. This also means 
 safety, as no explosion caused by careless 
 lighting can burn the user. 
 
 Drain Cock—Periodical drainage carries 
 off sediment and keeps bottom of tank clean. 
 
 Removable Bottom Cover—Allows easy 
 access to heating parts. One-third of its 
 area is asbestos made to push out and re- 
 lease pressure downward if exploded by care- 
 less lighting. 
 
 Fully Automatic in Operation—When water in the tank 
 is heated to 160° F., the thermostatic valve automatically 
 reduces the gas supply and lowers the flame. When hot 
 water is drawn from the top of the tank, cold water re- 
 places it at the bottom. This causes: the thermostatic valve 
 to increase the size of the flame until the hot water is 
 replenished, when the flame is again automatically lowered. 
 
 Triple Heating Method Utilizes Heat Units to Fullest 
 Extent Possible—In addition to the heating element (which 
 has a swift thermo-siphon action), the heat units from the 
 gas flame in the Merion are also absorbed through the tank 
 bottom and the internal flue. In this manner, maximum 
 heat transmission is established and the heat losses at the 
 vent are negligible. 
 
 Cold Water Inlet—Cold water is imme- 
 diately carried to the bottom of the tank 
 through the cold water pipe. 
 
 Flue—After the hot gases have heated the 
 element and bottom of the tank, they pass 
 up this flue, helping to further heat the water 
 and balancing temperature top and bottom. 
 
 Asbestos Insulation—Heater is com- 
 pletely surrounded by cellular asbestos 1%4 
 in. thick. Radiation losses are very low. 
 
 Graduated Thermostatic Valve—Controls 
 the burner. Needs no adjustment, as it is 
 permanently set at the factory. It is full 
 automatic and will adjust itself to different 
 qualities of gas and to varying gas pressures. 
 This feature means low gas bills. 
 
 Tank Bottom—Heated over its entire 
 area by the gas flame which is deflected by 
 the heating element, thus heat which is or- 
 dinarily wasted is utilized to advantage in 
 the Merion. 
 
 Burner—Has no pilot light. When tank 
 is full of hot water, thermostatic valve re- 
 duces the gas flow so that the burner acts as 
 its own pilot. Has no gauze and will not 
 clog nor backfire. as a perfect range of 
 adjustment from 1 to 30 ft. of gas per hour. 
 
 Needle Valve Gas Mixer—Set for arti- 
 ficial gas. Adjustable for natural gas. Has 
 high nozzle velocity. 
 
 Gas Cock—Can be shut off with one- 
 quarter turn.

Merion Automatic Storage Gas Fired Water Heater (Cont'd) 
 
 Merion Dual Action Thermostatic Valve—The 
 thermostatic valve in the Merion controls both the “pilot 
 feature” (low flame) of the burner, also the main heat 
 (high flame)—fluctuating gas pressures or varying 
 qualities of gas can not cause trouble as in cases where 
 separate pilot lights are used. 
 
 The one action of this valve provides a small gas 
 flow for the low flame (pilot feature) or for small 
 demands, and passes from 1 to 8 cu. ft. of gas an hour. 
 The other action provides a larger gas flow for a high 
 flame (operating only when the demand for hot water 
 is great) and passes up to 30 cu. ft. of gas an hour. 
 Both actions are of the graduated type. 
 
 The temperature of the water is held practically con- 
 stant (160° F.) due to the perfect control of all gas 
 flows by this dual action valve. 
 
 No Separate Pilot Light—No separate pilot light 
 is used in the Merion, but instead, a low flame is main- 
 tained by the burner through the action of the thermo- 
 static valve, and thus, while serving as its own pilot, 
 the burner keeps the water in the tank at the predeter- 
 mined temperature until heavy demands require a larger 
 flame. 
 
 Economical Operation—The Merion principle of dual 
 action thermostat valve and continuously maintained water 
 temperature works a real saving in cost of operation. In- 
 stead of using small storage, low temperature, and extrava- 
 gant burners that burn intermittently, and create hot water 
 by short, fierce, wasteful blasts of gas, we have taken full 
 
 advantage of the possibilities of storage and temperature. 
 The Merion can be operated at lower cost than any auto- 
 matic gas water heater on the market. 
 
 Easily Installed— The Merion is a self-contained unit 
 ready for installation. Only two water connections and one 
 gas connection are necessary. Rapid and inexpensive in- 
 stallation is therefore assured. 
 
 “Electric Weld’? Tank—vThe storage tank is extra heavy 
 “Hlectric Weld” construction—there are no rivets nor seams 
 that can leak. Thoroughly inspected and tested before 
 shipment. 
 
 Stocked Everywhere and Serviced—Merion heaters are 
 earried in stock by leading plumbing supply jobbers and 
 sold by plumbers everywhere. 
 
 Suggestions and sketches for installing Merion heaters 
 in tandem, or battery formation, or in connection with 
 furnacé coil, for winter service, will be supplied by us on 
 request. 
 
 They are serviced by JoHN Woop MANUFACTURING 
 CoMPANY, which has trained service men available in every

 Standard Combination Range Boiler and Gas Fired Water Heater 
 
 This combination range boiler and heater is without 
 thermostatic control and is intended for intermittent 
 service. It must be lighted manually when hot water is 
 required and the gas shut off manually when the demand 
 for hot water has been met. 
 
 Economical in Fuel Consumption—The Standard 
 has the same principle of internal heater, special design 
 burner, heating element and heating flue that is in- 
 corporated in the Merion heater described on the pre- 
 ceding page. This principle means fullest possible 
 utilization of the heat units from the gas, minimum gas 
 consumption and hot water at the faucet in five minutes. 
 
 The Standard, with its built-in heater, is much more 
 economical in the consumption of gas than an inde- 
 pendent gas heater connected to the boiler. Independent 
 heaters have extremely large radiation losses, and it is 
 this lost heat that is used in the Standard for practical 
 heating service.

 ‘Hot Water in Five Minutes—The 
 incoming cold water descends to the 
 bottom of the boiler and enters the 
 heating element. When the burner 
 is lighted, hot water immediately 
 starts flowing from the heating 
 element up through the hot water 
 riser to the top of the boiler. This 
 quick action gives hot water in five 
 minutes and a tank full of hot water 
 in a very short time. 
 
 No Condensation— Condensation 
 troubles have been prevented in the 
 Standard by the use of a special 
 design spreader and a pan stand 
 that closes the combustion chamber. 
 All moisture is quickly evaporated— 
 there is no moisture dripping on the 
 floor. 
 
 Easily Connected—There are only 
 two water connections and one gas 
 connection to be made, therefore in- 
 stallation is rapid and inexpensive. 
 
 The Standard can be connected to 
 the heating boiler or to the kitchen 
 range for winter service, but it is 
 more economical to use gas, the 
 “Standard” way. 
 
 “Flectric Weld’? Construction— 
 The boiler is electrically welded. 
 There are no rivets, solder or seams 
 to leak. Each boiler is fully tested } 
 and inspected before shipment, and Rana Poller ad 
 bears the tester’s stamp. Heater

The Mascot Cabinet Gas Range 
 
 Belongs in Every Kitchen Where Space Is Needed 
 
 Made by 
 
 MASCOT STOVE MANUFACTURING COMPANY 
 
 Chattanooga, Tennessee 
 
 The Picture on the Right Tells the Story 
 
 The old-time gas range was designed in 
 the days when kitchens were much larger 
 than they are now. Space saving was of no 
 consequence, so the gas range could be 50 
 inches wide and nobody cared. But today 
 houses are being built in which every square 
 foot of space must justify its existence. We 
 have learned that waste space is costly—and 
 inconvenient. The housewife finds it easier 
 to work in a small kitchen where everything 
 
 Gray Enameled (No. GG-4-18) Plain Finish (No. PG-4-18) 
 
 Made Also in High Finish (No. HG-4-18) and Blue Enameled 
 (No. BG-4-18) 
 
 is within convenient reach than in a big 
 kitchen where she walks miles a day going 
 from range to sink, from sink to pantry, 
 and from pantry to range and sink again. 
 
 The Range for the Small Kitchen 
 
 The Mascot Cabinet Gas Range is the 
 ideal range for the small, modern kitchen. 
 It occupies a floor space of only 26x22 
 inches—yet it has all the conveniences you 
 will find in a range twice its size. Here are 
 some of them: 
 
 Three standard size star burners, one 
 master burner, one simmering burner; 
 
 Outline of old-style pe

 anlizes floor space.

 Standard size oven—18’x18’x1114"”, fur- 
 nished with or without Broiler, Automatic 
 Lighter and Oven Heat Regulator. Oven is 
 just the right height so that housewife can 
 reach into it without having to stoop over. 
 
 A large, roomy cabinet in bottom of 
 range for pots and pans—22’x18"x18". 
 
 Construction and materials of the highest 
 quality—rust-resisting Wilder Metal for the 
 oven lining; Armco Ingot Iron (also rust- 
 resisting) for all other sheet metal parts; 
 Cast iron oven bottom, a better radiator of 
 heat than sheet metal; Insulated oven con-

 and cabinet panels, except in Plain Finish 
 type. Three standard size star burners, one 
 master burner, one simmering burner. Rutz 
 Automatic Lighter. Full size oven, 18”x18” 
 x14”. Storage cabinet 22”x18”"x18”. 
 Floor space required only 26” wide by 22”

 Richardson ‘Perfect’? Combination Gas and 
 Coal Ranges 
 
 These ranges offer the combined advantages of a 
 gas and coal range. Gas and coal can be used sepa- 
 rately or together as desired. They are made in various 
 styles and sizes to fit every need. Finished in either 
 standard black finish or gray enameled finish: While 
 the enameled finish costs slightly more, this is more 
 than made up in the saving of labor in keeping up the 
 appearance of the ranges. 
 
 The bright gray enamel finish is exceptionally attractive and 
 is easily kept clean—a damp cloth removing all dust that 
 might collect. Three coats of enamel are baked on at a 
 very high temperature which virtually fuses the enamel with 
 the iron making a lasting finish. Ranges are fitted with 
 polished iron tops, in keeping with the other attractive features 
 of these ranges. Three popular models are illustrated. 
 
 “¢Perfect’’ ranges have earned a reputation for their scien- 
 tific and practical construction as well as for their appearance. 
 They lessen the labor of cooking, decrease fuel consumption and 
 reduce the expense of repairs. 
 
 Some of the valuable features of Richardson ‘‘Perfect’’ 
 ranges are: 
 
 Correct Construction—by which the proportions of grate, 
 firebox and flue assure the highest efficiency of fuel con- 
 sumption. : 
 
 Removable Grate—which can be taken out without disturb- 
 ing the brick grate-rest or water-back. 
 
 Large Flwe—distributing the heat equally around the oven 
 which results in perfect baking and cooking with the least 
 expenditure of fuel. 
 
 Large Broiling Door—Very convenient for broiling pur- 
 poses. 
 
 Heavy, Large Water Back—assuring an abundance of hot 
 water. 
 
 Extra large, Roomy Oven with Foot Attachment for open- 
 ing oven door. 
 
 Richardson ‘Perfect’? Grates and Ash Chute 
 
 All ‘‘Perfect’’ Coal or Com- 
 bination Coal and Gas Ranges 
 are furnished with triangular re- 
 volving’ ventilating grate bars 
 for burning coal or wood, which 
 insure a clean, fresh fire. The 
 ash chute illustrated can be sup- 
 plied for all ‘‘Perfect’’ ranges 
 that rest upon the floor without 
 legs. Ashes drop directly into 
 a pit or ash cans placed in the 
 cellar, doing away with the re- 
 moval of ashes in the kitchen. 
 The attachment consists of ash 
 chute, one damper and _ two 
 lengths of galvanized pipe. 
 Where cans are used, a close- 
 fitting top for can and telescopie 
 section of pipe should be speci- 
 fied to be supplied by sheet metal 
 contractor. 
 
 Ash Chute 
 
 Richardson ‘Perfect’? Combination Coal and Gas 
 Range No. 428 
 
 This range can be used for either coal or gas sepa- 
 rately, or together, as desired. It has an exception- 
 ally large cooking surface and roomy baking and 
 broiling ovens. 
 
 It is equipped with an upper gas broiler and hot 
 closet. The range top has six covers, the gas section 
 four large and one simmering burner. 
 
 Like all Richardson coal ranges, this range is 
 equipped with triangular grate bars, a large fire box 
 with sufficient capacity for a lasting and economical 
 fire. 
 
 The check draft and damper control the amount of 
 heat, and keep the ovens at an even temperature. 
 Indicators on both coal and gas ovens show the tem- 
 perature of ovens at all times. 
 
 This range may be had with nickel plated shelf and enamel 
 back instead of upper hot closet, if desired. 
 
 Water back connections may be taken to either right or left 
 side of range. Ash chute can be furnished if desired.

RICHARDSON GAS, COAL AND COMBINATION RANGES (Continued) 
 
 Richardson ‘‘Perfect’?? Combination 
 Coal and Gas Range No. 488 
 
 This range combines all the good features of either 
 a coal or gas range. It can be furnished in either 
 gray enamel, or black finish, and is a very attractive 
 and efficient range.

 the 18-inch gas oven at top gives ample space for 
 baking, either separately or together. The gas broiler 
 is conveniently located at the same level as the gas 
 oven and is large enough to meet all requirements. 
 The eight lids on the range top consist of four coal 
 and four gas openings. This range is equipped with 
 dock-ash grate bars (but may have triangular re- 
 volving grate bars); dustproof fire box, preventing 
 dirt falling on the floor; ash pan concealed in the 
 skirt base, all of which add to the convenience and 
 serviceability of the range.

RICHARDSON “PERFECT” GAS RANGES 
 (ose epee ciate te nln 
 
 General Description 
 
 These ranges are equipped with every modern improvement to 
 insure satisfactory cooking with the least possible labor and 
 lowest gas consumption. All cooking surfaces are at the most 
 convenient height and of correct size for the greatest possible 
 economy in operation. The oven burners maintain as even a 
 quality of heat when operated at one-third or two-thirds 
 capacity as when turned on full—giving the best results in 
 baking, cooking or pre-heating. 
 
 Ranges are supplied in three different oven capacities—18, 
 16 and 14 inch. Three finishes—full enamel, three quarter 
 enamel and plain finish. 
 
 There are two particulars in which the Richardson ‘Perfect’ 
 unquestionably leads all competition. 
 
 The Oven 
 
 The four-way oven applies heat evenly to all six sides of 
 the oven—to the four walls and also to the top and bottom. 
 The heat circulated is evenly distributed, everywhere enough— 
 nowhere too much. 
 
 The Burners 
 
 The “Perfect” oven burner has ample capacity to allow for 
 gas expansion inside the burner which prevents the floating of 
 gas through the burner opening. This is of great importance 
 over a long firing period. The extra size of the supply arm, 
 permits an ample volume of air to mix thoroughly with the gas. 
 All top burners are one-piece seamless castings drilled to con- 
 centrate the heat and are easily removable. They cannot leak 
 gas. 
 
 A glance at the illustrations will show that ‘Perfect’ Gas 
 Ranges have great beauty of design. The white - porcelain 
 enamel is of the highest quality. The aluminumized oven linings 
 are baked on and are not subject to rust or discoloration. 
 
 “Perfect”? No. H-418 BS 
 
 An all enamel six burner range, with one oven for the larger 
 kitchens. All top, oven and broiler burners are of generous 
 size scientifically designed to render the finest, most economical 
 service. The ovens are removable. Right or left hand ovens 
 are optional.

 Made by 
 
 STERLING RANGE & FURNACE CORP. 
 ROCHESTER, NEW YORK 
 
 Model X-4 
 
 This range supplies more capacity than the ordinary 
 cabinet gas range and yet occupies only thirty-two inches 
 (32”) of floor space, or can be put in an even smaller 
 recess by removing the top shelf. 
 
 Top cooking—oven cooking—broiling—these three 
 cooking operations can be done on this range with 
 maximum speed, and minimum fuel expense and labor. 
 
 Cooking Top—the Sterling “Klean-top” with its 
 drop fingers operates perfectly either as a close top 
 or an open top. When only a small vessel is to be used 
 the open top gives greatest speed and economy. For 
 a large meal the closed top gives ample room and can 
 be heated by using simply the two front burners. 
 
 Oven—1914, inches deep, 14 inches high, and 16 
 inches wide—large enough to roast an eighteen or 
 twenty pound turkey. Bakes evenly in all corners, top 
 and bottom. 'The automatic oven control regulates it 
 for any kind of baking. 
 
 Broiler—No pan to scour and wash, guaranteed 
 against catching fire, broils on both sides at the same 
 time. It requires no pre-heating and broils in less than 
 half the time and with less than half the fuel of the 
 usual broiler.

 Model X-6 
 The Model X-6 differs from the X-4 in only two 
 
 particulars It is 4 inches wider and it has added to 
 it the fire-box of the Scientific Sterling, that for ten 
 years has been giving satisfaction to thousands of users. 
 
 Fire Box—this fire box serves three purposes. It 
 warms the kitchen. It gives an economical and con- 
 stant supply of hot water. It is a convenient method 
 of disposing of much kitchen trash and waste virtually 
 a handy incinerator. 
 
 This fire box will burn equally well any fuel—coal, 
 wood or coke, and has a gas kindler. The fire box is 
 15 inches deep and incorporates all the features that 
 have made Sterling ranges famous, such as the rounded 
 end and the well known Sterling grates. 
 
 Both the X-4 and X-6 can be obtained in black or in 
 beautiful and easy-to-clean enamel. The extra-size 
 flue keeps the kitchen free from objectionable cooking 
 odors.

 SCIENTIFIC STERLING COMBINATION COAL & GAS RANGE 
 
 This popular, efficient cooker gives the 
 solid comfort of a coal range and the con- 
 venience and speed of a gas range—all in 
 one compact unit. One turn of a lever 
 changes it from coal to gas. Or, if extra 
 capacity is required, both may be used at 
 the same time. It is warm in winter and 
 cool in summer. The patented water heater, 
 which is built right into the range, is equally 
 iis 
 
 the only successful combination heater made. 
 
 satisfactory with either coal or gas. 
 
 The Sterling Scientific saves time, trouble 
 and fuel. 
 
 Special features of the Scientific Sterling 
 are: 
 
 1—Two complete ranges in 36 inches of 
 floor space. ; 
 
 2—Deep, roomy ashpan or ash chute direct 
 to cellar. 
 
 3—Large, square oven. Patented flues 
 make it bake evenly, no cool spots. 
 
 4—Reliable oven heat indicator. 
 5—Double thick fire brick. 
 
 6—Sterling grates give

 THE STERLING MODEL 300W WARM FLOOR FURNACE 
 
 Is the result of many years of scientific 
 It has solved the 
 
 heating problem in many homes. It can be 
 supplied for either pipe or pipeless installa- 
 tion. It cecupies but small space in the cellar, 
 and keeps the home beautifully warm in the 
 coldest weather with only half the fuel that 
 the average furnace consumes. 
 
 study and experimenting. 
 
 Almost any furnace will fill a home with 
 “just heat,” but to be healthful it must con- 
 tain the proper proportion of freshness and 
 moisture which makes it invigorating and 
 health-giving. With Sterling furnaces, the 
 cold air is drawn down to the furnace, 
 passes over the hot castings, is moistened by 
 the large humidifier, and passes up through 
 
 the house. Thus, a continuous circulation 
 of warm, moist air is created—the most 
 healthful system of heating yet devised. 
 
 Sterling Triplex Grates support the fire 
 perfectly and yet have 70% of their space 
 open to allow a free passage of air. The 
 large combustion dome allows plenty of 
 room for complete combustion. Every lump 
 of coal is burned thoroughly. Heat is not 
 wasted up the chimney. 
 
 For homes that are not suitably designed 
 for pipeless furnaces, there is a Sterling pipe 
 furnace. Give us your specifications and we 
 will be glad to send you full particulars 
 of the Sterling furnace that will heat your 
 home satisfactorily and economically. 
 
 THE STERLING “CHEERY-GLOW” HEATER 
 
 Gives furnace heat with less fuel con- 
 sumption than the average stove. Unlike 
 an ordinary stove which heats only one 
 room, the “Cheery-Glow” circulates warm, 
 moist, health giving air throughout the en- 
 tire house. It is the ideal heating system 
 for a small home of 3 to 5 rooms. The 
 large illuminated feed door gives fireplace 
 cheerfulness without the smoke and dirt of 
 an open fire. 
 
 The “Cheery-Glow” requires no cellar or 
 expensive furnace installation. It can be 
 easily and quickly set up in the fall and 
 taken down in the spring. With its natural

 grain walnut finish and its attractive 
 Queen Ann design, the “Cheery-Glow” adds 
 to the appearance of any room. 
 
 We haven’t space here to tell you of all 
 the exclusive features of this efficient heater 
 —such as the slotted firepot and the large 
 combustion chamber which are two reasons 
 why the “Cheery-Glow” burns less fuel—the 
 reversible grates which give equal satisfac- 
 tion with either coal or wood—and the smoke 
 pipe connection, which can be made low 
 
 down straight into the chimney or the usual 
 style depending upon conditions. Write us 
 for full particulars.

 Thatcher Twin-Fire Ranges 
 
 A range that burns both coal and gas is a great 
 convenience in many homes. In the summer time one 
 may use the gas section only and thus have a cool 
 kitchen, while in cold weather a coal fire in the range 
 is a great comfort to the housewife, providing genial 
 warmth to the room in which she spends much of her 
 time. 
 
 A Compact Range 
 
 In spite of the fact that the Thatcher Twin-Fire 
 combines two complete ranges in one, its compact 
 dimensions permit it to be used in the smallest kitchens. 
 Its extreme width is only 40 inches—depth 2934 inches 
 —and height 671% inches. 
 
 A Beautiful Range 
 
 The Twin-Fire is well proportioned and is beauti- 
 fully finished in gray porcelain enamel with white 
 porcelain enamel splasher and drip pan. An occasional 
 rubbing with a damp cloth keeps it immaculately clean 
 and as the enamel is in three coats, baked on at a 
 high temperature, it preserves its original lustre for 
 years. 
 
 Note These Distinctive Features 
 
 Two, large ovens—a gas oven and a coal oven. 
 Patented Waterback requires no extra space and 
 heated by either gas or coal in a remarkably short time. 
 Patented Pull Down Broiler Rack brings roast to con- 
 venient height. Foot Touch Oven Door Opener for 
 lower oven—a great convenience when both hands are 
 full. Automatic Lighter for gas burners. Closet for 
 pots and pans under lower oven. Gas section and coal 
 section entirely separate—two complete ranges in one— 
 which may be used separately or at the same time as 
 desired. Can be furnished on leg or cabinet base.

 done quickly to perfection. 
 
 All Thatcher ranges are constructed to give the best 
 and quickest results in cooking and even baking. 
 
 The best grade of gray iron is used, and every con- 
 venience, such as sanitary ash chutes, large and effec- 
 tive waterbacks, triangular revolving grates, smooth 
 and neat appearance, and many more are scientifically 
 embodied in Thatcher Ranges.

 Holmes Disappearing Bed Company, 117 Madison Street, Woodstock, IIl. 
 Concealed Bed Corporation, 58 E. Washington Street, Dept. 602, Chicago, Ill. 
 Distributors for Marshall & Steazns Co. and Holmes Disappearing Bed Co. 
 
 Holmes Beds are the original concealed beds. But since 
 the. first Holmes Concealed Bed was manufactured—over 
 twenty years ago—we have made hundreds of improvements, ~ 
 reflected in the various types shown on these pages. The 
 line is very complete, in beautiful, practical designs. All 
 Holmes beds are of heavy seamless steel tubing and furnished 
 in full size 54 in.; %4 size, 48 in.; single or twins, 39 in. or 36 
 in. Holmes Beds are recognized as the most simple in con- 
 struction, having fewer moving parts and being perfectly 
 counter-balanced. When the bed is down in sleeping position 
 it is just as solid and secure as any standard set-up bed. 
 Holmes Concealed Beds are the only beds of this type designed 
 to permit the use of full coil springs or box springs. Holmes 
 Coii Springs extend the entire 
 length and width of the bed. 
 There are 120 full spiral coils 
 made of retempered Premier 
 wire—easy to keep clean—and 
 vermin proof. The Holmes Roller 
 Bed is the only one that must 
 have coil springs. Any of the 
 other beds may have either coil, 
 box or fabric. Fabrice springs 
 take one-piece foot ends. Coil or 
 box springs take two-piece foot 
 ends. Holmes Beds are regu- 
 larly finished in American Wal- 
 nut or Mahogany. The finish 
 is applied by an exclusive proc- 
 ess that leaves a glossy, smooth 
 surface, easily kept in good 
 condition, and above all clean and sanitary. Other finishes or 
 designs can be supplied when specified.

 HOLMES ROLLER BED 
 
 Model 39 B. Sq. tubing, cane panels and requires less floor space in storing than any other make. 
 
 This type of Holmes Concealed Bed not only saves floor 
 space, but is rolled about so easily that it can be kept in any 
 part of the home desired. It can be rolled into a closet, moved 
 into a corner and concealed by a canopy or drapes, or it can 
 just as easily be rolled into another room or into a hall where 
 there is space for concealment. It is a full size 54-in. stand- 
 ard bed, complete with head and automatic foot end, and 
 equipped with special highly resilient full coil springs, sani- 
 try, vermin-proof, easily cleaned. A specially designed safe- 
 euard bumper prevents any possibility of damage to furniture, 
 walls or woodwork. Specially designed patented double ball- 
 bearing, highly polished, perfectly beveled 41%%4-in. hardwood

 maple rollers, which operate easily and smoothly, are used to 
 prevent floors from being marred or the carpets and rugs from 
 being damaged. These rollers will never wear out. An ex- 
 elusive feature is the Holmes automatic lock which prevents 
 the bed from ‘‘jack-knifing’’ or folding over on top of the 
 sleeping surface when the bed is down. This bed is handsome 
 in design, a fine piece of furniture, with a beautiful, durable 
 finish—sanitary, easy to operate, clean, convenient and com- 
 fortable as any standard bed. Closet space required on 
 straight run in: Depth 5 ft.—width 2 ft. 2 in. door minimum, 
 height 6 ft. 8 in. or 7 ft. 
 
 HOLMES “ROLL-OUT” RECESS BED 
 
 (Model 19 S-B) 
 
 This type of Holmes Concealed Bed is especially designed 
 for installation in rooms where deep closet space is not avail- 
 able. With the exclusive Holmes roll-out feature, which auto- 
 matically causes the bed to advance 14 inches when lowered, the 
 head of the sleepér in out in the room—not back in the 
 closet. It is fastened directly to the floor, in a shoe on each 
 side, and pulls straight down into the room, There is no revolv- 
 ing mechanism of any kind. It will not damage floors, rugs or 
 carpets by rolling in one place. Saves floor space—closet 
 space required for full size 54-in. bed: .Depth, 18 in. inside of 
 door to plaster (in clear), width, 5 ft. using 2 ft. 6 in. doors, 
 height, 7 ft. If it is not possible to build even an 18-in. 
 closet into the wall, the closet can be built out in the room, 
 giving effective concealment. Canopies or drapes may also be 
 used effectively with this type of bed. ; 
 
 We also make a complete line of standard attached recess 
 beds, without the new patented ‘‘Roll-Out’’ feature, which 
 require the same closet space as above, except that they may 
 also use 6-ft. 8-in. doors. Specifications and full dimensions 
 sent on request.

 Holmes Twin Pivot Center Door Bed 
 — (Model No. 41-B) 
 
 This twin bed installation is typical of the beautiful effects 
 which can be.secured by using Holmes Beds. Note the one- 
 piece foot ends and absence of operating mechanism on head 
 ends. The standard two-piece foot end with full coil springs, 
 using steel standard bar which carries combined weight of 
 door and bed, may also be used in this installation. The 
 mirrored door between allows access to closet, whether beds 
 are up or down. Doors of various designs may be used for 
 concealing the twins, or the walls may be paneled. The center 
 door in this twin installation is pivoted off center and allows 
 access to the closet at all times. When the closet is enlarged 
 for use as a dressing room, with bathroom adjoining, the fact 
 that the door can be opened and closed regardless of posi- 
 tion of beds is especially important. Holmes twin bed in- 
 stallations require less space than others and close the open- 
 ing back of beds.

 Holmes Two-Docr Pivot Bed 
 (Model No. 45) 
 
 This is an exceptionally good looking, comfortable bed. The 
 spread hides what little mechanism there is. Closet door can 
 be opened or closed when bed is in sleeping position, allow- 
 ing access to closet and when closed prevents any draft on 
 sleeper. It may be installed either with or without the steel 
 standard bar, standard bar being used when 1%%-in. French 
 or mirrored doors are used, thus eliminating all strain from 
 door and insuring against warping or sagging of door. The 
 standard bar carries the weight of bed and door and makes 
 a perfect installation from an engineering standpoint. Doors 
 of any thickness can be used. If no steel standard bar is used, 
 a specially designed steel angle is fastened across the door 
 where it cannot be seen. The bed is attached to this angle 
 and the weight distributed over entire door. Doors 1%4-in. 
 thickness are required. 
 
 An exclusive feature on all Holmes pivot beds is that they 
 are easily adjusted without removing bed from opening, thus 
 avoiding extra expense if building settles.

 inside of door to plaster (in clear); height 6-ft. 8-in. or 7-ft.

 If pivot bed without standard is used 2 2-ft. 6-in. doors 
 may be used for full size bed. 
 
 Marshall & Stearns Oscillating Portal Bed 
 Model No. 51 
 
 This type of concealed bed has given universal satisfaction 
 for many years because it can be used to increase the room 
 efficiency of any type of home, whether it be large or small. 
 Concealment can be made so perfect that the most critical 
 eye is deceived. A handsome buffet, book-case, desk or large 
 mirror may be attached to the front of the bed panel. When 
 the bed is in sleeping position, it is as refined in appearance 
 and just as “good looking as the.most exclusively designed 
 The bed 
 can be pivoted into the room and lowered into place by a 
 child, it works so easily.» It has no complicated head and 
 foot operating mechanism. If the bed is used in connection 
 with a dressing. room or storage closet, the bed may be turned 
 slightly to allow access. This can be easily done when the 
 bed is down—it does not have to be upended.

 Why Every Home Should Have a Murphy Bed 
 
 That every home has a need for a MURPHY BED 
 has been proven by thousands of installations in homes 
 of all sizes. These needs are many and varied—the 
 sum total of all of them are, fundamentally, economic. 
 
 The average home costs about one thousand dollars 
 a room to build. The size of a home is determined by 
 the number of sleeping rooms required by the family 
 which is to occupy it—these with the kitchen, dining 
 room and living room fixes the number of rooms. 
 
 If it were not for this cost of a thousand or more 
 dollars per room, every lover of a home would have 
 some one room in addition to those actually required. 
 This “other room” might be a Sun Parlor, Den, Chil- 
 dren’s Room, Sewing Room, or a Sleeping Porch.

 A bed room equipped with the ordinary bed is used 
 but eight hours of the twenty-four—the other sixteen 
 hours it is unoccupied and serves only as a store room 
 for the furniture. Properly equipped with a MURPHY 
 IN-A-DOR BED, a bed room can be made available 
 twenty-four hours of the day. In this way another 
 room can be added to the home at no additional cost— 
 no furnishing, decorating, or heating expenses and last, 
 but not least, no additional household care. 
 
 Here, then, is proof that you need not forego that 
 other room. When you build, prepare for a MURPHY 
 IN-A-DOR BED — it is concealed in an ordinary closet 
 behind an ordinary door. 
 
 The Murphy In-A-Door Bed 
 
 The MURPHY IN-A-DOR BED differs from the 
 ordinary bed only in that it is raised to a vertical 
 position and pivots into a closet—it is made in the 
 same standard sizes as the ordinary bed—is equipped 
 with the same standard spring—therefore, furnishes the 
 same sleeping comfort as a good ordinary bed. Its 
 patented multiple spring balance and method of pivot- 
 ing make its operation simple and easy—requires no 
 more effort than moving a chair. Moving on its pivot 
 clear of the floor, it requires no guiding—does not mar 
 floors or woodwork. 
 
 Murphy Beds are’ made in a variety of designs and 
 finishes,

 each unit furnishes sleeping accommodations for four

 Utility and Convenience 
 
 The Out-O-Site Portable Disap- 
 pearing Bed has great utility value 
 as it can be moved to any part of 
 the house with ease; through doors 
 and between furniture. It can be 
 used conveniently in case of emer-

 visitors. It offers a freer, more 
 comfortable and healthful use for 
 dwelling or apartment.

 Out-O-Site Beds are economical 
 in the use of valuable space; are 
 reasonably priced. They require no 
 special braced construction as with 
 fixed pivot beds. The storage or 
 closet space for the Out-O-Site Bed 
 does not require a definite location 
 with reference to the sleeping posi- 
 tion of the bed. When folded it 
 will fit any bed closet space

 Guest Service 
 
 “‘Get out the Roll-A-Way, I’m coming over.’’ This is a 
 request by friend or absent member of the family with which 
 it is a pleasure to comply. Like magic a bed of unequalled 
 comfort and of striking design may be rolled from its point of 
 convenient concealment, and any room in the house becomes, 
 in a twinkling, a guest room for the night. 
 
 Building Economy 
 
 The Roll-A-Way has met the demand for building economy. 
 The aim of today is to give greater living efficiency to smaller 
 area, and at the same time to preserve comfort and conven- 
 ience. This bed saves a room, or many rooms, if desired, by 
 giving any room the qualities of a bed room at night without 
 interfering with its normal utility. Moreover, space, doors, 
 trim and materials may be saved in any home construction. 
 
 Economy of Maintenance 
 
 There is no object in maintaining needless extra rooms. A 
 home with Roll-A-Way efficiency is a convenient easily kept 
 living unit. Much household labor is eliminated. 
 
 Greater Sleeping Comfort 
 
 There are additional joys in Roll-A-Way 
 slumber as it may be had at the window or 
 even on the sleeping porch by merely roll- 
 ing the bed to the desired spot and letting 
 it down for use. 
 
 Sunning and Airing 
 
 The bed may also be rolled to the window 
 where the sunshine can strike it, making it fresh and whole- 
 some. 
 
 Permanent Usage 
 
 There is no furniture which makes our bed look out of place, 
 and when down for use it presents an appearance which fits 
 into the scheme of the best furnishings. It is not merely an 
 ‘Coxtra’’ bed—members of the family may sleep continuously 
 in the large airy living room. 
 
 The ‘Home Bed’ 
 This is truly ‘‘the bed for the modern home,’’ combining 
 beauty, economy, convenience and profound comfort.

 Advantages of the

 ‘White’? Door Bed 
 is in every respect a real 
 bed, mechanically adjusted 
 to smaller space. In com- 
 fort, appearance and dura- 
 bility, it is equaled only by 
 the finer type of stationary 
 beds. Made in standard 
 sizes with regulation height 
 head and foot ends. 
 
 Perfectly Balanced—The 
 convolute spring balance, an 
 exclusive feature (see next 
 
 page), balances any weight 
 
 advantages of a 6 or 7-room 
 home are obtained in a 4 or 5-room bunga- 
 low at a considerably lower cost. 
 
 The housewife’s labors are materially 
 lessened not only because of the smaller 
 house to care for, but also through the aid 
 of convenient space saving devices that 
 
 A single motion brings it into place ready for use. 
 
 from 24 to 200 lbs. Bed 
 can be released at any position and will not 
 close up or drop. 
 
 Easy to Operate—It can be raised or 
 lowered with a single. effortless motion. No 
 pulling or adjusting of legs or headboard. 
 Legs lock automatically ge bed is low- 
 ered. 
 
 Simple—it is built with fewer parts than 
 has been possible before. No complicated 
 mechanism; no exposed springs to catch 
 dirt and dust: no movable parts to tear the 
 bedding. 
 
 Affords Perfect 
 Concealment — 
 When bed is in 
 use in the room, 
 the opening is 
 completely closed, 
 preventing drafts 
 and concealing 
 the dressing room 
 from view at all 
 times. Hasy ac-

 Convolute Spring Balance—An Exclusive 
 Feature—An entirely new principle in dis- 
 appearing bed construction has been applied 
 in ‘‘White’’ Door Beds. Powerful convolute 
 spring balances are used which will balance 
 any weight ranging from 24 to 200 lb. 
 
 Balances operate parallel with the door, 
 relieving door strain and thus cannot warp 
 the door. 
 
 The bed is perfectly balanced and will re- 
 main in any position without falling or 
 elosing up. The life of the balance is prac- 
 tically everlasting. 
 
 Exclusive Points of Superiority of the ‘‘White”’ Door Bed 
 
 1—Automatic locking device holds legs rigid and secure. No danger of 
 eollapsing. Legs swing into position when bed is raised or lowered. 
 No pulling or adjusting. 
 
 2—Full box spring, luxurious and comfortable, set in side rail same as 
 standard metal bed. This is standard equipment. 
 
 38—Sliding head board operates on easy moving rollers and holds pillows

 Handled boldly, or in restraint, the Craftex wall is strikingly 
 
 individual. Textured by hand, no single square inch exactly 
 duplicates another or repeats a pattern, Craftex achieves perfect 
 harmony without concession of interest. 
 
 Products 
 Craftex a Plastic Paint Wall Finish. 
 Also Lacquersize, a Size for use over 
 Craftex; Craftcoat, a glaze for use over 
 Craftex and Lacquersize. 
 
 Craftex 
 
 Craftex is a plastic paint that is apphed 
 with a brush to any surface to which oil 
 paint can be applied—to many on which 
 paint is never used. 
 
 With it, painters can produce the tex- 
 tured, plaster or antique period effects so 
 much in demand today, and in any color or 
 combination of colors to match furniture 
 or draperies. 
 
 The durability of Craftex has been 
 proven. 
 
 It has been used for years in many of the 
 important homes and buildings of the coun- 
 Ly 
 
 On opposite page are shown a few of the 
 texture and color effects possible with it. 
 
 One-Coat Craftex 
 
 Craftex (supplied in powder form) is mixed with 
 hot water and applied with brush to wall. Textured 
 with brush, sponge, trowel, ete. Can be colored 
 before application. 
 
 Glaze Coat Craftex 
 
 Made by sizing and glazing the above base coat 
 of Craftex. Color is added with the glaze. 
 
 And this in a wall finish which is no less durable than beautiful, 
 which is washable, and upon whose textured surface the common 
 mishaps which mar the walls of even the best regulated homes 
 leave no noticeable impression. 
 
 Finishes 
 
 Innumerable original finishes produced 
 by different color and texture combinations. 
 Also exact reproductions of Caen stone, 
 Travertine, Spanish, Italian and other 
 rough plaster effects. 
 
 Surfaces Covered 
 
 Craftex covers not only wood, plaster, metal, glass, 
 wall board, masonry and other surfaces successfully, 
 but is the one material which will give a uniform 
 unbroken wall treatment over a combination of dif- 
 ferent surfaces. Saves expense of skim coat plaster 
 when apphed direct to brown plaster floated or 
 troweled comparatively smooth. 
 
 Advantages 
 Craftex gives a permanent, distinctive wall treat- 
 ment that harmonizes with any desired color scheme. 
 
 Cost 
 We recommend that you employ the services of a 
 
 painter to apply Craftex. Costs will vary according 
 to textures desired. 
 
 Service 
 
 The CRAFTEX COMPANY has offices in Boston, 
 New York, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis and Phila- 
 delphia, as well as representatives throughout the 
 country. The CRAFTEX COMPANY is ready at all 
 times to co-operate with any building contractor in 
 working with local painters who may ‘not be familiar 
 with Craftex, furnishing samples, detailed instrue- 
 tions for securing various finishes, working out spe- 
 cial textures, colors, ete.

MORENE — The Wall Finish Distinctive 
 
 Made by 
 MORENE PRODUCTS CO., Inc. 
 
 245-247 West 28th Street, New York, N. Y. 
 
 hs 
 
 Living Room in Residence of H. CHILDS HODGEN, Architect, Philadelphia, Pa. 
 Walls and ceiling finished in Morene. For a few of the many distinctive wall textures 
 obtainable with Morene see next page 
 
 Products 
 
 The products of this company are: Morene—the Wall 
 Finish Distinctive’ Kemisol, a colorless liquid waterproof- 
 ing for masonry durfaces above grade; and Petrofluid, an 
 integral waterproofing for use in cement plaster applied 
 to underground construction. Printed matter describing 
 any or all of these products will be gladly sent to building 
 contractors on request. 
 
 One Material—Many Finishes 
 
 The great utility of Morene to the building contractor 
 lies in the fact that with this one material (a Portland 
 cement product) it is possible to obtain an infinite variety 
 of wall finishes, differing both in texture and color. Thus 
 this one finish can be used throughout a house yet every 
 room will have an individuality of its own, since Morene 
 readily lends itself to the production of various textures 
 and tones, including stipples, tapestry effects, sand finishes, 
 travertine, caen stone, limestone and unpolished marble. 
 
 Easy to Apply to Any Surface 
 
 Morene is easily and quickly applied, with either brush 
 or trowel, to any kind of surface—brown or white plaster, 
 wood, metal, old painted surfaces, gypsum or fiber wall- 
 boards, ete. In new buildings Morene serves as a finishing 
 coat of plaster with complete texture and color effect desired. 
 
 The Wall Finish Distinctive 
 
 Morene is a wall finish composed of Atlas white portland 
 cement, sand, asbestos, oils and chemicals, all ingredients 
 being so mixed and the oils so emulsified that they remain 
 in suspension. It is used chiefly for obtaining interior and 
 exterior textured wall finishes, from the plainest to the 
 most elaborate, and it will enhance the appearance of 
 any type of building, whether it be a residence, apartment 
 house, church, hospital, office building, store or bank. 
 
 The selection of Morene as a medium for expressing the 
 artist’s skill in the decoration of many fine buildings is 
 proof of the unusual effects possible to produce with this 
 material. Combining as it does the permanency of concrete 
 with the utmost in artistic expression, a casual inspection 
 of the distinctive installations accomplished also murals 
 executed with the Morene will convince even the most 
 skeptical that it has been brought to a point of perfection 
 
 Will Not Check or Crack 
 
 Morene will not crack or check if the structural surface 
 to which it is applied remains intact, and it may be 
 scrubbed with soap and water without harmful effects. 
 Unevenness and defects in the joints of wall boards and 
 cracks in plastered walls are easily made invisible. 
 
 A Medium for Artistic Expression 
 
 Those who use Morene quickly acquire a fondness for 
 it owing to the fact that in the hands of a skilled work- 
 man (or even a novice, only a little experimenting is neces- 
 sary to become skillful in its application) Morene becomes 
 a medium for the true artistic expression. ; 
 
 The texture obtained by applying it with a brush (like 
 paint) differs from that produced by applying it with a 
 trowel (like plaster) and starting with either of these 
 textures one may produce an inflnite variety of effects by 
 the use of the palette knife, or sponge, or by stippling or 
 raking the plastic surface with a wire brush. A few of 
 these effects are illustrated on next page. 
 
 Colors ; 
 
 Morene is shipped in white only (creamish grey). Oil 
 colors are added on the job, so that all colors can be 
 produced, from the vivid hues to the most delicate pastel 
 shades, two or more colors can be applied following each 
 other immediately producing unlimited variety of blended 
 effects. 
 
 Cost 
 
 Approximately the same as a good 8-coat paint job for 
 the simpler textures and colors. 
 
 Containers and Capacities 
 
 Morene is shipped in % and 1 gallon cans, 5 gallon steel 
 pails and 25 and 50-gallon barrels or steel drums. 
 
 The average covering capacity is 50 square feet of wall 
 surface to the gallon, the amount of coverage varying 
 with the texture desired and the nature of the surface 
 to which Morene is applied. 
 
 Directions and Samples on Request 
 
 Full directions for applying Morene so as to produce any 
 desired effect. and a sample of the material itself will be 
 sent to any building contractor on request. 
 
 beyond even the most sanguine expectation.

 Textone: 
 
 Economical Rough Textured Walls: Tex- 
 tone is a remarkable decorating material 
 which makes possible, in homes of average 
 cost, the rough textured, richly colored wall 
 and ceiling effects that have formerly been 
 confined to expensive residences and costly 
 public buildings. 
 
 Texture and Color im 
 One Application: Textone 
 is manufactured as a fine 
 powder and is packed in 
 convenient 10 and 25-pound 
 cartons. Water and pig- 
 ment colors, added at the 
 job, produce a heavy bodied 
 mixture which can _ be 
 readily applied with a 
 brush. Textone adheres 
 perfectly to almost any 
 surface—plaster, Sheet- 
 rock, wood, glass, card- 
 board, etc.,—and, because 
 of its unusual consistency, 
 one appleation is sufficient for ordinary 
 purposes. While still ‘‘tacky’’, Textone can 
 be textured with a stippling brush, a whisk 
 broom, wadded paper, a sponge, or the 
 palm of the hand. 
 
 Unlimited Color Effects: The color 
 possibilities of T’extone are practically 
 unlimited as tinting is done at the time 
 of application. Mottled, stippled, and shaded 
 effects can be produced by simple treat- 
 ment and the rich colors can be harmonized 
 perfectly with furnishings and hangings. 
 
 Authentic Period Designs: Because of 
 the ease with which Textone can be tex- 
 tured, the individual ideas of the home 
 owner can be faithfully reproduced. Mod- 
 ern decorating practice, however, demands 
 that walls and ceilings shall harmonize with,

 and correctly interpret the architectural 
 style of the building. Spanish, English, 
 Colonial, and other period designs can be 
 reproduced in Textone by the ordinary 
 painter. 'T’o assist home builders in obtain- 
 ing authentic reproductions of these tex- 
 tures, the United States Gypsum Company 
 has prepared a_ valuable 
 book on interior decoration 
 which includes panels illus- 
 trating popular textures. 
 A copy of this book will be 
 sent upon request. 
 
 Easy to Use: The white 
 Textone is mixed to a stiff, 
 pastelike consistency by 
 the addition of luke warm 
 water. If a one-coat tinted 
 finish is desired, pigment 
 colors ground in oil or dry 
 colors are added to the 
 mixed Textone until the 
 desired shade or tint is 
 reached. _The Textone is 
 then applied to the surface in a thick coat 
 with a large brush, and the texture is 
 worked in with the same brush or by the 
 other means mentioned above. One 
 coat of Textone is equivalent in cover- 
 ing capacity to-three coats of paint. 
 
 Textone Glaze: 'Textone Glaze is a 
 specially prepared medium for obtain- 
 ing two or more toned effects on Textone 
 surfaces. Textone Glaze comes in quart 
 and gallon cans with full directions for its 
 use printed on the label. The Glaze is 
 tinted with pigment colors in oil and is then 
 applied to the surface with a brush. It is 
 then wiped off or blended into the surface 
 with a soft cloth. This process brings out 
 beautiful high hight and shadow effects.

“Breinig Built” Varnishes—Enamels—Paints 
 
 The Sieriicance of 
 the Trade-Mark 
 
 i eee by three generations of 
 Paint and Varnish makers, 
 with products manufactured under 
 the very latest improved and scien- 
 tifically approved methods, this 'Trade-Mark 
 
 has more 
 significance than to merely identify the products under 
 which it is issued. 
 
 T is a mark of Quality, an assurance of Purity and 
 warranty of Satisfaction. 
 
 [? also stands for Honesty, Uniformity, Dependability 
 and Responsibility. 
 
 [' is the safeguard of the Architect, General Con- 
 tractor, Master Painter or Consumer, as the standard 
 of quality wherever it appears on Varnishes, Enamels, 
 Paints, Stains or Fillers. 
 
 *“BREINIGBUILT” )| 
 Paints & Varnishes] 
 
 Always Insist on the 
 “Breinig-Built”” Trade-Mark. 
 
 Regardless of the amount of 
 money spent in the construction of 
 the home, this is all wasted unless 
 finishing products of the highest 
 quality are used to not only properly protect each and 
 every surface, but to insure beautiful color combinations 
 for the exterior and interior, and in the case of Stain 
 and Varnish effects, to develop the hidden beauty in 
 the wood. 
 
 When you consider that the cost of materials used 
 for decoration, represent only 25% of the cost of the 
 work, it can readily be seen that it is not economical 
 to use inferior products. 
 
 It costs no more to use BREINIG BROTHERS’ 
 VARNISHES, ENAMELS AND PAINTS than the 
 
 ordinary finishes to be found on the market. 
 
 AFew of the Products Taken from Our VeryComplete Line Follow: 
 
 Old Masters’ Enamel:

 it is applied. 
 
 Ever-Dure Pen-O-Stains: 
 
 These are the highest type stains of 
 their kind on the market. They pene- 
 trate the wood to which they are ap- 
 plied deeply and thoroughly, do not 
 raise the grain, are true to color, and 
 produce a finish that develops and ac- 
 centuates the beauty of the wood they 
 are used on. 
 
 With the exception of mahoganies, 
 these stains may be used as one coat 
 finishes, or they can be finished over 
 in wax effect by using Breinig Brothers’ 
 Shellac and Ever-Dure Prepared Wax.

 ing with soap and water. It may be used 
 on plaster, wood, wallboard and metal sur- 
 faces with equal satisfaction. Wherever a

 esco is the most popular wall finish in the 
 markets of the world. This is due to its 
 ease of preparation and application and a 
 combination of peculiar richness and depth 
 of color. . 
 
 Impervo Surfacer 
 
 A special oil base liquid of light color, upon which 
 Flat Paints, Enamels and Calcimines may be econom- 
 ically and satisfactorily applied. Impervo Surfacer 
 is a priming undercoat which successfully prevents 
 alkali, acid, stains, or moisture from injuring sub- 
 sequent coats. It contains no glue, alum, rosin, or 
 other ingredients that are liable to cause defects in 
 finishing coats, such as peeling, cracking, alligatoring, 
 or saponification. Impervo Surfacer is easy to apply, 
 economical and dependable. It should be used in con- 
 
 nection with Sani-Flat, Muresco and other wall coat- ° 
 
 ings, when the finest class of work is desired. As a

 stand the grinding abuse to which all floors are sub- 
 jected. It is intended for hard or new wood; for 
 old or new floors. It is medium in color, spreads with 
 remarkable freedom, and will not scratch, spot, ‘or

 Movar 
 
 This is the universal or general purpose varnish. 
 Its various properties and characteristics are so bal- 
 anced that satisfactory results may be obtained in 
 any service in which Movar is employed. Not affected 
 by boiling water, alcohol, ether, oil or grease. Equally 
 satisfactory for Interior and Exterior use. Combines

 For interior use on the finest polished surfaces and 
 all cabinet work. Has perfect leveling qualities and

 prepared materials to give it good color, heavy body, 
 and easy working properties. It can be flowed on with 
 a minimum of brushing and will show no sags or 
 runs on the finished surface. 
 
 Shingle Stain 
 
 Moore’s Shingle Stains are composed of the best 
 wood preservative oils and creosote tinted with pure 
 eoloring pigment. The colors are beautiful, rich and 
 permanent, producing soft artistic effects, which pre- 
 serve as well as beautify the wood. As the stain 
 penetrates the shingles, it fills the pores, rendering the 
 surface proof against decay, rot and the boring of 
 insects. 
 
 Shingle Stains are more economical to apply and 
 more artistic than paint and can be appled quickly 
 either by dipping, brushing or spraying. These stains 
 do not hide the grain of the wood, but bring it out 
 and intensify its beauty. Made in twelve natural 
 colors. Recommended also for finishing and preserv- 
 ing clapboards, siding and exterior woodwork, where 
 a quick, economical and artistic appearance is desired.

 Build for Beauty and Permanence 
 
 Realizing a long-cherished ambition—that is what 
 the home you are about to build means to you. For 
 the great majority of men and women the opportunity 
 to build their own houses—determining every part 
 of the construction from cellar to 
 attic—comes but once in a lifetime. 
 
 Since it is to shelter you and your 
 family for years to come, build it for 
 permanence—build it for beauty. As 
 you plan each detail of the construc- 
 tion and finish, ask yourself this question: ‘‘ How will 
 this look a year from now? Five years from now? 
 Ten years from now?”’ 
 
 ¥ 
 
 For True Economy—Valspar 
 
 The factor of economy will have to enter into your 
 decision, of course. But wear is the paramount con- 
 sideration. No matter how promising the cheaper 
 materials may appear to you, you’ll find abiding 
 satisfaction only in the better grades because of their 
 durability, quality and long wear. 
 
 This is particularly true of the paint and varnish 
 you choose. So much of the beauty and luxurious 
 effect that you want your house to have depends 
 upon the style in which it is finished. Not only that 
 —a good sturdy finish can add years to the life of the 
 metal and woodwork it protects. 
 
 In painting and varnishing, labor is always the 
 biggest item. So why not use the best materials and get 
 longer wear and greater beauty for the same expendi- 
 ture of labor? It is ordinary building common sense, 
 then, to use varnish of the best quality for the greater 
 service and good looks it affords. Also, you will find 
 the quality product far more economical in the long 
 run. The initial cost may be greater, 
 but the long hfe of quality materials 
 reduces refinishing costs to a mini- 
 mum, 
 
 Valspar for Long Satisfaction 
 
 No finish will give you finer lustre 
 and longer service than Valspar. For 
 Valspar is the one finish on the mar- 
 ket that is absolutely waterproof. 
 Other varnishes are advertised as 
 waterproof and they may, it is true, 
 withstand temporary exposure to 
 water. But given enough time or a 
 severe enough test, they will discolor

 and whiten. Valspar, however, can be exposed to 
 the action of water, boiling hot or icy cold, for 
 months, even years, without harm. 
 
 And because of this absolute waterproofness, com- 
 bined with remarkable toughness and 
 elasticity, Valspar resists wear and 
 hard knocks to a degree unequalled 
 by any other varnish. This unusual 
 durability is the secret of Valspar’s 
 great economy and Valspar adds to 
 the appearance of the home by making it bright and 
 attractive for it enhances the beauty of any surface 
 and keeps it beautiful. 
 
 Valspar in Colors 
 
 You can get Valspar in any color by asking for 
 Valspar Varnish-Stains and Valspar-Enamels. Both 
 Valspar Varnish-Stains and Enamels have the same 
 absolutely waterproof and long wearing qualities as 
 clear Valspar, for they are Valspar Varnish itself with 
 colors added. 
 
 For all wood and metal work, inside or outside the 
 house, use Valspar or Valspar in colors if you desire 
 a finish of lustrous smoothness, elasticity, durability 
 and waterproofness. You are building for perma- 
 nence when you use Valspar.

 Valsparred floor! Mop up the overflow and the wood- 
 work will be found as smooth and lustrous, as free 
 from any discoloration or whitening as if the accident 
 had never happened. 
 
 In fact, Valspar is the one varnish that can truly be 
 called ‘‘accident-proof.’’ Strong alkaline soaps and 
 washing powders, ammonia, hot grease, oil—make no 
 
 Only One Valspar 
 
 No other varnish at all resembles 
 Valspar. It is a unique invention 
 which has never been approached by 
 any other varnish although other 
 manufacturers have tried for years 
 to produce a finish that would equal 
 Valspar in waterproofness and all-

 Other Valspar Advantages 
 
 Valspar possesses many other merits besides water- 
 proofness. It is unusually smooth and brillant in 
 lustre. It is extremely elastic and will not scratch 
 easily—hence retains its fine appearance long after 
 other varnishes have grown shabby and dull. Dries 
 very rapidly—dust free in 4 hours, hard in 24. And 
 it is so durable, so wear-resistant that the service and 
 protection it gives are truly remarkable. 
 
 Test after test has proved that 
 this happy combination of ad- 
 vantages makes Valspar the one 
 best varnish for all purposes, 
 both inside the house and out- 
 side.

 impression on a Valsparred surface. Rain, snow and 
 ice, sudden changes of temperature—none of these can 
 injure Valspar in the slightest. 
 
 It is precisely this accident-proof quality that 
 makes Valspar the ideal finish for household use. 
 Where wood and metal are protected by this in- 
 eredibly tough, yet handsome finish, the householder 
 is free from upkeep expense and worries.

 For a Beautiful, Dull Finish 
 Some people prefer to have a dull finish for their 
 woodwork. 
 
 With Valspar, it is easy to rub the original mirror- 
 like gloss to an attractive satin finish, if desired. This 
 finish is in every way as durable and waterproof as 
 the natural finish. 
 
 Where to Use Valspar 
 
 Valspar is unequalled for all wood 
 or metal work, inside the house or 
 out. On floors, walls, trim, doors 
 and porches, it gives lasting protec- 
 tion and satisfaction. And in the 
 kitchen, laundry and bathroom, par- 
 ticularly, you will appreciate the _,Vawsrar, Protects | 
 absolute waterproofness that Val- Lanolgum 
 spar alone can give. Wherever you want varnish, 
 use Valspar. 
 
 Valspar covers about 450 sq. 
 ft. to a gallon one flowing coat. 
 It costs a little more than or- 
 dinary varnishes, but the slight 
 additional cost is more than offset 
 by the far greater service it gives.

Valspar Varnish-Stain—the one varnish stain that can be 
 used out-of-doors as well as indoors 
 
 HERE are many places around your home where you want your wood- 
 
 work stained in beautiful wood colors and also varnished- 
 haps, or your furniture, the porch or front door. 
 
 use Valspar Varnish-Stains. 
 
 Valspar Varnish-Stains are Val- 
 spar itself combined with the finest 
 transparent wood colors—Mahog- 
 any, Light Oak, Dark Oak, Wal- 
 nut, Cherry and Moss Green. They 
 enable you to apply both varnish 
 and stain with one stroke of the 
 brush, saving you the bother of 
 applying a coat of stain, waiting 
 for it to dry, then putting on the varnish. 
 
 Waterproof, Dur- 
 able Protection 
 
 Waterproof, Weatherproof, Accident-proof 
 
 Because Valspar Varnish-Stains are colored Valspar, 
 you will find this finish every bit as serviceable out- 
 doors as it is indoors. For Valspar Varnish-Stains 
 withstand every test of durability and weatherproof- 
 ness that Clear Valspar stands. They will not fade 
 in sunlight. Acids, alkalies, and ammonia will not 
 mar their color or lustre. And they will not turn 
 white in water, no matter what the temperature of 
 the water or how long exposed. 
 
 For a Dull Finish 
 
 The natural finish of Valspar 
 Varnish- Stain is_ brilliantly 
 glossy. But this may be rubbed 
 down to an artistic dull effect, 
 if desired by using ‘‘pumice

 resulting finish is as fine as the 
 rarest cabinet work, yet having at 
 the same time all of Valspar’s ac- 
 cident-proof qualities. 
 
 Where to Use Valspar 
 Varnish-Stains 
 
 Valspar Varnish-Stains are a 
 safe, convenient and _ beautiful 
 finish for all woodwork, whether old or new, indoors 
 or out. For example, use them on your front door to 
 keep it always bright and shining; on your floors 
 to insure a beautiful permanent finish that will stand 
 up under the heaviest traffic; on your ice box—to 
 keep the woodwork from warping and cracking; on 
 old furniture—to restore the original beauty of color 
 and lustre and bring every piece into harmony with 
 the general color scheme; on window sills, porch 
 furniture and drain boards, wainscoatings, closet 
 
 shelves. 
 
 In short, use Valspar Varnish- 
 Stains on wood and metal work 
 of all kinds, wherever you want 
 beautiful, natural wood colors 
 combined with lustrous, durable, 
 waterproof protection.

 WE MAKE REFRIGERATORS—NOTHING ELSE. We spe- 
 cialize in refrigeration—have done so for 34 years. We believe 
 that our Automatic Refrigerators are the best that money can 
 buy—you would expect us to say that—but let us give you con- 
 vineing proof. 
 
 The ‘‘Double Duty” Feature 
 
 There is no wasteful chipping of ice for cool drinks in homes 
 where Automatic Double Duty Refrigerators are used. A 
 plentiful supply of ice-cold water is always on hand, and there 
 is no additional expense for ice and no space taken from the 
 refrigerator. The porcelain lined Cooler Tank, illustrated at 
 right, fits into the partition between the ice chamber and the 
 upper food chambers and an inverted water bottle on top of the 
 refrigerator (see illustration below) serves as a water reservoir. 
 A tap projecting from the front of the refrigerator furnishes 
 Cold Water on the instant. Automatic Refrigerators are fur- 
 nished with, or without, Water Cooler, but the Double Duty 
 Type is generally preferred because of the convenience of having 
 pure, cool, drinking water always on tap. 
 
 A Complete Line 
 
 Our Illustrated Catalog, a copy of which we will be glad to 
 mail you on request, will convince you that you do not have 
 to go outside of the Illinois Refrigerator Company’s line to get 
 any type of refrigerator you desire. 
 
 We make refrigerators enamel lined and porcelain lined— 
 refrigerators designed for front, side or rear icing—refrigerators 
 with Water Cooler or without. We gladly furnish complete blue 
 prints showing size of the rear doors and end doors; also the 
 proper sizes for the opening to make in the wall of your home. 
 Automatics of all sizes can be used with iceless refrigeration 
 units. We place four supports in the top of the ice chamber 
 permanently to support that part of the unit.

McCray Refrigerators for Residences 
 
 McCRAY REFRIGERATOR SALES CORPORATION 
 Dept. B-55, Kendallville, Indiana 
 
 Salesrooms in All Principal Cities (See telephone directories) 
 
 McCray refrigerators for residences are distin- 
 guished by thorough, efficient and enduring service as 
 well as extraordinary beauty, both exterior and in- 
 terior. The same high type of McCray refrigerator 
 service which is the standard of quality in hospitals, 
 hotels, institutions, grocery stores and markets, is 
 available for the home in a series of residence models 
 of various sizes, some of which are illustrated and 
 described on this and following pages. All McCray 
 refrigerators are sold under the guarantee that each 
 refrigerator must be exactly as represented or the 
 purchase price and freight charges will be refunded. 
 
 Quarter-sawed Oak Exterior 
 
 Notice the handsome exterior appearance of the 
 McCray porcelain-lned residence models illustrated 
 here. The case is made of five-ply laminated wood 
 with quarter sawed oak exterior. Both ends are 
 flush with flush doors. Panels in the doors are set in 
 solid oak. 
 
 Interior of One-Piece Porcelain 
 
 The interior is one piece of porcelain. In all com- 
 partments there are no cracks or crevices and the cor- 
 ners are coved which makes cleaning easy. The in- 
 terior lining is made of heavy Armco ingot iron 
 welded into one piece on which the porcelain is fused 
 at the terrific heat of about 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. 
 
 This illustration shows the exterior of the McCray Residence Refrig- 
 erator No. 360, regarded as the finest appearing refrigerator on the 
 market. Its efficient service matches this handsome appearance. 
 
 This snow-white porcelain not only covers the storage compartment but 
 also the interior of the storage doors. 
 
 All McCrays May Be Used with Machine 
 
 All McCray refrigerators can be readily adapted for use with mechani- 
 cal refrigeration when desired. 
 
 At the right is shown the McCray No. 360 as we supply it with base 
 for use with machine refrigeration. If the machine is installed in the 
 basement the base shown here is unnecessary. 
 
 White Enamel Line Less Expensive 
 
 The white-enamel-lined McCray residence refrigerators afford efficient 
 service at less expense. The lining is of metal to which is applied three 
 coats of white enamel, making a sanitary and attractive interior. The ex- 
 terior is of furniture oak. 
 
 The outside icing door may be had with any McCray model, if desired. 
 This convenient feature was orginated and developed by McCray.

 KELVINATOR CORPORATION 
 DETROIT, MICHIGAN 
 
 Two Important Features The Condenser and Compressor 
 
 Two features of Kelvinator, the ee a 
 
 oldest domestic electric refrigera- Faia ————— (See illustration below) 
 tion, are of exceptional interest to 3 
 
 Pree idercior owners This is the mechanism that is 
 
 First—the Kelvinator line is com- 
 plete. Standard units are carried 
 in stock everywhere for either small 
 ‘or large household refrigerators. 
 The self-contained unit—Kelvin-et 
 —combines both Kelvinator and re- 
 frigerator, all in one, the only’ in- 
 stallation required being an electric 
 connection. 
 
 Second—Kelvinator is made by 
 the pioneer manufacturer and is the 
 oldest product of its kind. It has 
 years of public approval behind it. 
 Installations made from five to ten 
 years ago are as efficient now as ever. 
 
 A Typical Kelvinator Installation 
 
 Kelvinator consists of two parts. The first is the 
 freezing unit that fits inside the ice compartment of 
 the refrigerator. The second is a motor driyen com- 
 pressor and condenser that usually goes in the base- 
 ment but can be installed in any convenient place. 
 
 These two units are connected by two tubes through 
 which the refrigerant passes. A thermostat on the 
 freezing unit regulates the temperature, automatically 
 starting the compressor when the temperature in the 
 refrigerator rises, stopping it when the proper tempera- 
 ture is attained. 
 
 The Freezing Unit 
 
 The freezing unit is placed in the ice compartment. 
 
 Freezing units are made in twelve sizes and shapes, 
 there being a model for every standard make of re- 
 frigerator. Specially designed units are also availiable, 
 being made to order. 
 
 Kelvinator Freezes Cubes of Ice 
 
 The trays in the freezing unit can 
 be filled with water and cubes of 
 pure ice will be frozen for chilling 
 beverages or other table purposes. 
 These trays can be used for making 
 frozen desserts, salads, frappes, 
 
 chilled fruits and many cther delica- 
 
 found in the basement or any other 
 convenient place and which supplies 
 the freezing unit with a cold pro- 
 ducing refrigerant. ‘The condenser 
 consists of a coil of one-half inch 
 seamless copper 
 
 spirally in a rectangular shape and 
 
 tubing wound 
 is air cooled. The compressor is of 
 the reciprocating type having one 
 cylinder for the smaller models and 
 two cylinders for the larger models. 
 It is driven by a V-belt with no idler. 
 
 Temperature Control 
 
 The temperature of the refrigerator is automatically 
 regulated by a thermostat and expansion valve which 
 have been developed by Kelvinator and refined over a 
 period of years. It is the most accurate and durable 
 device of its kind made, and constitutes an important 
 
 Kelvinator feature. 
 
 The Kelvin-et 
 
 The Kelvin-et, selling for $250, F. O. B. Detroit, is 
 a self-contained refrigerating system combining Kel- 
 vinator and refrigerator all in one. The compressor 
 and condenser are in the base of the cabinet. The 
 Kelvin-et is designed for small families living in apart- 
 ments or in small homes where space is a consideration. 
 
 Responsibility 
 
 Kelvinator is made by a long es- 
 tablished manufacturer and sold by 
 the best dealers in every community. 
 Each dealer has a factory trained 
 service man and is in a position to 
 render prompt and immediate serv- 
 
 ice on every Kelvinator he installs.

 A Dry Goods Box Versus a Home 
 
 Why build a house and leave its walls bare, standing 
 year after year exposed to the bleak winds of winter un- 
 adorned, unattractive and forbidding, when

 it and so enframe it that its setting invites and appeals 
 as a real home in which ‘‘somebody’’ lives who appre-

 Planting About Your Home Enhances 
 Its Value in Every Way 
 
 Don’t you know that the same sun and rain which 
 cause depreciation of your buildings is the very life of 
 trees and plants, and cause them to depreciate in value 
 from year to year? No matter, whether the house you 
 build is for your personal use; or to be rented or sold; a 
 proper planting about it increases its desirability as a 
 place to live and thus is an asset in making it a home; 
 an aid in renting and a help in selling.

 These are facts which are conceded

A MESSAGE TO HOME BUILDERS— (Continued) 
 
 A new house of excellent archi- 
 tecture, but note how harsh, how stiff 
 —how cold and unwelcome with no 
 expression of comfort or restfulness! 
 Merely a good house. Note the great 
 transformation shown in cut below 
 after planting. 
 
 Our Architects Work With You—yYour Preferences Are Considered 
 
 In this way by working together, we can give you an unexcelled service, as each and every one of our 
 designers is a graduate Landscape Architect, whose entire time is devoted to studying tree, plant and shrub, 
 and how they should be placed in relation to each other and with the house to properly accentuate its beauty 
 and to cover its defects should there be any. 
 
 Where are the stiff harsh lines? 
 Isn’t this more appealing, more beau- 
 tiful, more home-like and more rest- 
 ful? Imagine yourself seated on the 
 porch in No. 1 and then contrast it 
 in your mind with sitting on the 
 porch after planting in No. 2! You 
 are now in a real home. You ean fully 
 relax and be proud of the opinion of 
 those who pass your place.

 We Give Personal Service 
 
 The service we give you is per- 
 sonal. We can handle small jobs by 
 mail as effectively as if we were 
 with you on the grounds in person. 
 The requirements are simply these: 
 You locate the house on the lot with 
 distances from front, sides and rear 
 lot line on especially prepared paper 
 we furnish you for the purpose and 
 upon which is plainly stated the de- 
 tails and data we must have to pro- 
 ceed. In addition to this you must 
 send snapshots or photographs taken 
 from the front, sides and rear, and 
 we will then go ahead and submit 
 you a pencil sketch for your consid- 
 eration. 
 
 Small house about which a porch planting would add dollars to its value 
 as a home and much beauty 
 
 We Consider No Sale Complete 
 Unless You Are Satisfied 
 
 Our service will always be satis- 
 factory because of the skill and ex- 
 perience of our Architects and be- 
 cause we consider no sale complete 
 unless you are satisfied. 
 
 We can satisfy you, too, and the 
 cost is very low when it is not neces- 
 sary to send an Architect to personally 
 inspect, measure and study the loca- 
 tion. 
 
 We at. all times value your sugges- 
 tions and a statement as to prefer- 
 ences should be sent in with the meas- 
 urements and photographs. 
 
 Here is shown the small house above two years after planting, the cost of which was $20.00. 
 Could you spend $20.00 anywhere in your home and get half as much for your money?

A MESSAGE TO HOME BUILDERS— (Continued) 
 
 The house is built, but does it look 
 or feel like home? Isn’t it as Luther 
 Burbank says ‘‘Merely a dry goods 
 box?’’? The dormant shrubs and 
 plants heeled in as shown in the piec- 
 ture represent a rather small sum of 
 money, yet note the transformation 
 after planting below. 
 
 We Make It Possible for You to Get Our Service Without Cost 
 
 We furnish complete plans and specifications—the plan drawn to scale and the exact spot each tree, shrub and plant should 
 be placed as indicated so that you can plant them yourself if you wish to do so. 
 
 Full instructions on how to plant and care for the stock goes forward with the plans and specifications. For these plans, 
 etc., we make a small service charge should you decide not to buy the stock from us. The scale of charges for plans, ete., if 
 order is not placed will be given you if you are interested. 
 
 But you get our service, experience and skill in design without any cost whatsoever when order is placed with us. 
 
 We are at your service, and would be pleased to go into details with you when you are ready to consider the beautification 
 of your home, 
 
 What a small. expenditure has 
 yielded in beauty and enhanced value 
 of property is shown by this cut! It 
 has now been truly converted into 
 comfortable living quarters. Then, 
 too, there is a great amount of pleas- 
 ure in watching the development of 
 plants and trees. Flowers for the 
 table in great abundance—the joys 
 and bliss of a new home fully 
 realized.

 Levels for Building Contractors 
 
 A good Level will-pay for itself many times over in the 
 course of one building season. With it you can determine 
 accurately the rise and fall of the ground before leveling, 
 or excavating, for foundations, eliminating all guess work 
 as to the number of cubie yards of earth to be moved. 
 
 You can run lines that are absolutely true and can verify 
 in a moment the corrections of all angles. You can plumb 
 walls and use it for laying out ditches, drains and roadways. 
 In short, you will find use for a good Level a dozen times 
 a day. 
 
 These Simplex Levels of ours do not require engineering 
 knowledge on the part of the user. The simple directions 
 that accompany them will enable one of your workmen 
 to use a Simplex Lével with perfect accuracy. All danger 
 of error is eliminated when you use a scientific instrument 
 to level ground and plumb walls. You will find a Simplex 
 Level one of the best investments you ever made. Prices 
 from $25 to $90.

 Everite Blue Print Paper 
 
 The trouble with most Blue Print Paper is that it rapidly 
 deteriorates, particularly in hot weather. ‘“Iverite” is the 
 one paper you can rely on to be as good in six months or 
 a year as the day you bought it. We experimented with 
 an infinite number of formulas before we hit upon the 
 combination of chemicals used in coating “Everite.” But 
 it was worth the trouble and expense. 
 
 “Everite” is the blue-print paper you can rely on—abso- 
 lutely. It is practically impervious to heat and moisture 
 and consequently can be carried in stock for months, in 
 any climate, without serious impairment of its excellent 
 reproducing qualities. It not only gives sharper detail and 
 better contrast, but positively aill not fade, if sufficiently 
 washed. 
 
 Everite Blue Print Paper is made in three weighs: 
 
 No. 70-—-THIN 
 No. 110—MEDIUM 
 No. 125—THICK 
 
 and is coated for three printing speeds: 
 
 R—Rapid Printing for sun, or slow electric printing 
 
 X—HExtra Rapid Printing, the grade used by the 
 majority of consumers 
 
 XX—Double Extra Rapid Printing, an exceptionally 
 fast paper. 
 
 We shall be glad to send you on request a 2-yard working 
 
 ’ 
 
 sample of “Everite,’” so that you can judge for yourself, 
 
 its excellent qualities. 
 
 Vellux—the Odorless Tracing Paper 
 
 Open a roll of ordinary 
 
 Tracing Paper and in a

 manufacturing it—and it

 AJAX BUILDING BRACKET COMPANY 
 1551 Rydal Mount Road—Cleveland Heights, Ohio 
 
 Production 
 
 Ajax Folding Metal Sheathing and Roofing Brackets are 
 used to apply both Sheathing Boards and Roofing Materials. 
 
 The most sensationally popular Bracket Equipment ever 
 offered for roof work, in the United States. Patented Feb- 
 ruary 2, 1915, nearly every carpenter and roofer approached 
 wants to try the “AJAX” because it appears to be his idea 
 of a practical roof staging. 
 
 Two-Fold Use 
 
 Carpenters use Ajax Brackets, first to apply the sheath- 
 ing boards to rafters; then, to apply roofing materials to 
 sheathing boards. 
 
 Roofers use Ajax Brackets to apply all sizes Slate, Tile, 
 Asbestos, Asphalt, Metal and Wood Shingles, etc.

“Reliable” Scaffold Brackets 
 
 Made by 
 
 ELITE MANUFACTURING CO. 
 
 Ashland, Ohio 
 
 “Reliable” Brackets will carry your heaviest loads in safety. The heavier the load placed on them the firmer they brace against the building. 
 They are the best sort of insurance against accident to your workers. 
 
 Products: 
 
 This company makes ‘Reliable’ brackets for supporting 
 staging used in building construction. They are made in various 
 types and sizes for different classes of work and fold compactly 
 when not in use for easy transportation and storage. Carefully 
 built of heavy steel and pipe they last for years with proper 
 care. They save time and lumber when erecting scaffolding. 
 Sold on the satisfaction-guaranteed-or-money-back basis. Also 
 make the old “Hook Style” bracket but recommend bracket 
 illustrated on account of its greater convenience, wider useful- 
 ness and satisfaction. Send for literature. 
 
 Reliable Scaffold Bracket: 
 
 This bracket is easily and quickly 
 hung, a hammer and four nails being 
 the only things necessary. There is no 
 loss of time nor waste of lumber. Drive 
 four nails so that heads project about 
 half an inch from studding at about 
 a 45 degree angle. Hang brackets with 
 nails through countersunk slots near 
 top. They seat securely withont side- 
 sway or wobble. The clutch grips the 
 long slanting pipe securely without slip- 
 page. The heavier the load the tighter 
 they grip. To remove bracket simply 
 lift off from nails and drive them home 
 —no holes to plug. Use on stucco, brick 
 veneer, or any construction equally well. 
 Two sizes—3 and 4 feet long. Weights, 
 18 and 25 pounds.

 pound iron with countersunk 
 nail slot at upper end and 
 U-bend at lower end—a 
 handy little tool for small 
 jobs and light work.

 This was developed to take the place 
 of two regular Scaffold Brackets as it 
 has sufficient spread to attach to 
 studding or wall on either side. Note 
 the different method of attaching, 
 using eight nails instead of four. 
 Some builders prefer this type for 
 corners while others use our regular 
 type of bracket one on either side 
 near corner. Hither method is good.

 Dandie Light Mixer: 
 
 The Dandie is a dependable light mixer 
 of staunch construction, and exceptionally 
 fast operation in getting materials into and 
 out of the mixing drum. It is designed 
 to serve the contractor in all concrete work 
 where a mixer of one bag capacity is the 
 desired size. 
 
 KXoehring speed in charging and dischare- 
 ing increases the number of batches per 
 day, giving an additional profit-margin. 
 One-man control allows one man, without 
 leaving his position, to raise the charging 
 skip by operating the clutch with one hand 
 and to discharge a batch of conerete with 
 his other hand. This arrangement elimi- 
 nates an extra man and in addition permits 
 faster operation through centralized control. 
 
 In foundation work and footings, pour- 
 ing walls, floors, and sidewalks, where each 
 job is short and frequent moves are nec- 
 essary, the Dandie again makes a big sav- 
 ing in time. With rubber tires, disc wheels 
 and three point suspension type of front 
 axle, it is easily and quickly moved. Just 
 hitch the Dandie to your ear or truck and 
 you are soon ready for the next job.

 truck, the Dandie moves quickly and easily to the 
 next job. 
 
 The four cylinder, radiator cooled Universal engine, 
 is designed for heavy duty, yet it is flexible and - 
 smooth in operation. Positive ignition at slow crank- 
 ing speed and improved ecarburetion makes this motor 
 easy to start. The two cylinder hopper cooled Fuller 
 & Johnson engine or an electric motor can be fur- 
 nished on the Dandie, if desired.

 skip or a low charging hopper with platform for

The “AMERICAN UNIVERSAL” Floor Surfacing Machine 
 
 Manufactured by 
 
 THE AMERICAN FLOOR SURFACING MACHINE COMPANY 
 
 516 So. St. Clair St., Toledo, Ohio 
 
 The ‘‘American Universal’’ electrically driven floor surfacing 
 machine renders superior service to the contractor-builder interested 
 in lower labor costs and better working conditions for his men. 
 This fact is proven daily by thousands of contractors and builders 
 all over the United States who have bought an ‘‘American Univer- 
 
 sal’’ to do the work once required of the carpenter—hand scraping 
 floors. 
 
 This machine, the result of twenty years manufacturing endeavor; 
 simple in its construction, and requiring no previous experience to 
 operate, will do the work of six men scraping floors by hand, and 
 it will do it better, faster and more efficiently. It can be used on 
 any floor from a cottage to the largest auditorium. 
 
 Floors as Smooth as Table-Top 
 
 The capacity of the ‘‘American Universal?’ depends to a very 
 large extent on the condition of the floor to be surfaced and how 
 
 fine a finish is required. It will surface any floor down as smooth 
 as a table top. 
 
 The machine leaves the job clean, for a vacuum fan deposits all 
 dust and dirt, and other particles in the bag furnished. By sub- 
 stituting a piece of old carpet for the garnet, or sandpaper, on the 
 drum, a polish as smooth as glass can be produced on waxed floors. 
 
 The machine, being mounted on three truck 
 wheels, responds to any and all irregularities of the 
 floor, the pressure of the sanding drum being con- 
 trolled entirely by the control lever and the American 
 i | Automatic sustaining device. These two features 
 UN Fd || i makes possible the high grade of work, free from 
 
 i enn b > sander waves, vibration marks and imperfections of 
 
 any kind, for which the ‘‘American Universal?’ is 
 so well-known, 
 
 Not only will it surface new floors, 
 but it will resurface old floors as well, 
 removing varnish, paint, shellac, wax, 
 etc., making them like new. It will 
 level all warped and rough edges of 
 the flooring and give any floor, no mat- 
 ter what kind of material, a new, bright 
 and smooth appearance.

 largest exclusive manufacturer of surfacing machines has employed workmanship and materials that enable 
 it to deliver years of low-cost efficiency. It is strong. simple and sturdy. It is easily looked after. The 
 number of parts is surprisingly small. It has no mechanical intricacies. Give it the care and attention 
 you give to your saws and it will prove its worth for years to come. 
 
 No Expert Operator Needed 
 
 A turn of the electric switch and it is ready to make contracting’s hardest task the easiest 
 and most economical job. No expert operator needed! The most inexperienced workman can 
 obtain first-class results. The machine does the work, not the man—he merely steers it.

 No loss of time! No sacrifice of profits! With an “American Universal’ at hand one phase 
 of your labor problem is solved for all time to come.

 movement, and that the machine can be operated right up 
 to the baseboard. 
 
 The no-dust-feature is of particular importance when resurfacing 
 old floors in buildings that are occupied. Even when surfacing new 
 floors it is, however, a great advantage because it protects the health 
 of the operator by preventing him from inhaling the poisonous sub- 
 stances that often accumulate in wood flooring. 
 
 It does faster and better work. Easy to operate. Pressure on drum 
 automatic and drum ean be locked to any pressure desired. 
 
 It will pay for itself on the first few jobs, and is sold on an un- 
 conditional five days free trial. Write for particulars.

 The Improved Schlueter Surfacer: 
 
 This machine is designed to surface any floor new or old 
 of either hard or soft wood, rapidly and easily smoothing 
 down all joints or warped edges. It will remove paint, 
 varnish, shellac, wax, dirt or any substance from old floors 
 and make them look like new. 
 
 Working Capacity

 size and the condition of the floor, the medium size machine 
 will surface—once over—from five to seven thousand square 
 feet in eight hours. : 
 
 Operation 
 
 Simply connect to electric current, throw in switch, allow 
 roller or sanding drum to come in contact with floor, hold 
 back on handle allowing machine to travel forward 10 to 
 15 feet per minute. Operation so simple that any one with- 
 out previous experience is able to turn out a perfect job. 
 
 Flexible Automatic Roller 
 
 Roller or sanding drum is a hollow steel cylinder with cast 
 iron heads on both ends. Is mounted on self-aligning ball 
 bearings at each end and has a special spring construction 
 that causes the roller to accommodate itself automatically 
 to the floor surface upon which it is working with exactly 
 the proper amount of pressure, without vibration, thus 
 eliminating waves and chatter marks. This construction 
 is a patented feature and entirely does away with all levers 
 leaving both hands of operator free, assuring perfect con- 
 trol of machine at all times. A thumb screw adjustment is

 inch of wall or baseboard—if the quarter round is laid the 
 machine will surface right up to it. 
 
 Side Roller Attachment 
 
 This roller which is furnished with each machine is handy 
 for getting into hollows and low spots when resurfacing 
 old floors, and may be used on new work in off corners, 
 
 Vacuum Dust Collectors : 
 
 All dirt and dust is carried back into a one-piece alumi- 
 num dust pan mounted directly behind the sanding drum. 
 Thig pan is light, yet strong, has no sharp edges and will 
 not bend or clog. i 
 
 From the pan the powerful suction blower picks up dirt 
 and deposits it in a sack attached to upper end of blower 
 
 pipe. 
 
 Motors 
 
 Special Service Ball Bearing Motors are used, noted for 
 their simplicity of construction and economy in power con- 
 sumption. Shaft is mounted on self-aligning S. K. F. ball 
 bearings; commutator is totally enclosed to exclude all dust 
 —adding to life of brushes and all internal parts. These 
 motors are furnished for either Alternating or Direct 
 current. 
 
 Silent Chain Drive 
 
 Genuine Link Belt Silent Chain Drive is used. This well- 
 known chain is as flexible as a belt, cannot slip, its motion 
 is positive under all conditions and action so smooth that 
 there is no vibration. 
 
 Carrying Handles 
 
 A set of easily attached carrying handles made of strong 
 tubing are furnished with each machine to permit two men 
 to carry machine from floor to floor. 
 
 No Extras to Buy 
 
 With each machine are furnished 25 yards each of fine 
 and coarse sand paper, side roller attachment, carrying

 It was a builder, facing the keenest kind of com- 
 petition, who first conceived the Jaeger Portable Wood- 
 worker, for he recognized that a Portable Power Saw 
 would give him a big advantage, providing it didn’t 
 represent too much of an investment. For power he 
 used his Ford, eliminating an expensive electric motor 
 or stationary gasoline engine. Then he made the saw 
 rig as light as possible so that it could be easily put 
 on or taken off by one man. 
 
 As a matter of fact it is not necessary to detach 
 the Woodworker to drive the Ford, so you can move 
 around on the job with the Woodworker ready for 
 instant use. When you quit at night the Woodworker 
 can be detached in a moment and as readily attached

 Saves 20% On Framing Costs 
 
 No argument is needed to convince you that a Power 
 Saw like that illustrated above will enable you to make 
 big savings on any job—20% is a low estimate. 
 
 One contractor, erecting 40 small frame houses, 
 claims that the Jaeger Portable Woodworker saved him 
 $50 a day. Another, on an apartment house job, did 
 all of the sawing for 60 carpenters with a Jaeger. 
 
 Does Every Kind of Work 
 
 Cuts compound angles—rips quickly and easily—cuts 
 studding, joists, rafters, ship-lap, bridging, cornices, 
 ete. One man with a Jaeger Portable Woodworker, can 
 cut enough lumber to keep a large crew of carpenters 
 busy framing. ‘ 
 
 With this machine you can underbid anyone who 
 sticks to the old, expensive, time-wasting and costly 
 hand methods, and still make bigger profits than you 
 ever made before. .

 Koehring No. 1 Shovel 3%4 Yd. Dipper 
 
 Koehring Heavy Duty Gasoline Shovels 
 
 In excavation work, digging cellars and basements, 
 the Koehring shovel has proved its profit-making 
 value through better design and heavy duty construe- 
 tion, providing greater adaptability, greater capacity, 
 and longer service life. 
 
 With short boom and long dipper sticks, it has the 
 advantage of being able to work in close quarters with 
 low head room, yet having long reach and high lift, 
 as the operator can easily crowd the dipper out be- 
 yond and above the end of the boom. 
 
 In addition to its adaptability to excavation work, 
 the Koehring shovel is powerful and moves easily. 
 The self-cleaning type multiplanes have a large bear- 
 ing surface which provides steady tractive power. 
 
 Long-run economy results from strict adherence to 
 the policy of building a better machine with the aid 
 of the contractor. Such constant development has 
 brought several distinctive features to the Koehring 
 shovel. 
 
 Finger-Tip Control 
 
 Finger-tip control, made possible- by Koehring 
 double equalizing outside band friction clutches, pro- 
 vides operating ease, speed, and an accurate control 
 for the operator, giving him the necessary ‘‘feel’’ of 
 the work. 
 
 Crowding Action Above and Beyond End of Boom 
 
 For digging low and loading high, a smooth cable 
 crowding. action enables the operator to crowd the 
 dipper out beyond and above the end of the boom. 
 This action is an entirely separate and independent 
 function, operated at the touch of a lever. The dipper 
 may also be racked in close to the multiplanes. 
 
 Boom Hoist 
 
 Frequently in excavation work it is necessary to change the 
 angle of the boom. To accomplish this the operator merely 
 shifts a lever and the boom is raised or lowered to the proper 
 position.

Never before has there been a book for the 
 building contractor like Home Builders Catalog 
 
 to aid you in selecting the most suitable materials 
 
 for the homes you build and equipping them with 
 those modern refinements and conveniences that mean 
 so much to your customers. The hundreds of beau- 
 tiful illustrations are of homes actually bwilt. The 
 floor plans are in many cases unique, striking exam- 
 ples of combining the maximum of home comforts 
 with minimum space requirements. The Manufac- 
 turers’ Section is a never-failing source of imnforma- 
 tion and inspiration, containing as it does authentic 
 data on every conceivable kind of building material 
 and home equipment. 
 
 Hundreds of leading manufacturers have adopted 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG as a means of pre- 
 senting the merits of their products to prospective 
 home owners through the building contractor. This 
 great co-operative catalog takes the place of thousands 
 of individual catalogs, giving you in one great refer- 
 ence work every bit of information you need to show 
 your customer each detail of the house you propose 
 to build for him. 
 
 Backed By Real Service 
 
 The Plan Service suppled by the HOME BUILD- 
 ERS CATALOG CO. (described on pages 518-520) is 
 complete, comprising working blue-print plans of 
 every house and garage illustrated, together with ma- 
 terial listing guide, and complete specifications and 
 legal contract forms. 
 
 The use of this service insures accuracy and econ- 
 omy in construction, estimates free from errors, and 2. 
 thoroughly satisfied customer because nothing is left 
 to the imagination. Every detail of his home as it 
 will appear when finished can be shown him in ad- 
 vance in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG. 
 
 You will find yourself constantly referring to 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG and never will you 
 look to it for aid in vain. 
 
 Homes for the Millions 
 
 The homes illustrated in HOME BUILDERS 
 CATALOG are the last word in up-to-date style and 
 convenience, yet so perfectly are they designed that 
 not an unnecessary dollar of expense is incurred. The 
 price range is from $3,500 to $15,000, covering the 
 needs of the great middle-class of home builders. 
 Ninety per cent of all the homes built in this country 
 fall within these price limits. 
 
 Careful attention has been paid to those details of 
 design and construction that give distinction, charm 
 and convenience to the home—such things, for in- 
 stance, as big, bright living rooms with open fire 
 places; conveniently arranged kitchens with built-in 
 features; breakfast nooks, sun parlors; sleeping 
 porches, bed closets for concealed beds, ete.

 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG to your customers 
 for an evening or two and they will discover for them- 
 selves many things they will wish you to include in 
 the homes you build for them. As a means of raising 
 the standard of customer appreciation of better homes 
 you can have no more potent aid than HOME 
 BUILDERS CATALOG. 
 
 A Style Show of Homes 
 
 Many illustrations of houses in the ever-popular 
 American Colonial and Dutch Colonial styles are in-’ 
 cluded in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG — some 
 strictly authentic, while others show modern modifi- 
 cations of these styles. With this great reference book 
 to aid you you can quickly determine the type of 
 house that will most be satisfactory to your customer. 
 
 Remember that each house shown has actually been 
 built. All illustrations are from photographs of the 
 completed house, a more convincing presentation than 
 is possible when the customer must imagine how the 
 house will look from the blue.print drawings. 
 
 Creates Desire for Better Homes 
 
 The live, wide-awake contractor who uses HOME 
 BUILDERS CATALOG to illustrate to prospective 
 home builders not only the various styles of houses 
 but the particular types of materials he proposes to 
 use in each part of the house will find it easier to 
 arrive at a perfect understanding when his customer 
 is able to visualize what he is going to get for his 
 money. 
 
 To the average man or woman the construction of 
 a house is somewhat of a mystery, which is why they 
 often buy an old house instead of building a new one 
 for themselves. The old house may not be exactly 
 what they want but, at any rate, it is something tan- 
 gible—they know what they are getting—while they 
 find it difficult to picture to themselves the home you 
 propose to build for them, with nothing but the blue- 
 print plans to illustrate it. 
 
 But with HOME BUILDERS CATALOG to aid 
 You can show your 
 customer just how the house you propose to build for 
 him will look when finished. You can show him, in 
 the Manufacturers’ Section, every kind of material 
 you propose to use in wall, partition and roof con- 
 struction, flooring, exterior and interior trim, etc., 
 together with the heating plant, hot water supply, 
 bathroom and laundry fixtures, lighting equipment, 
 and built-in conveniences. In short, you can show 
 him, part by part, the house itself. With HOME 
 BUILDERS CATALOG to aid you you ean build 
 more and better homes because it instills confidence 
 in your customers to have every detail of construction 
 made clear to them in advance. 
 
 How To Use This Book 
 
 Suppose your customer expresses a preference for frame, 
 brick, hollow tile, conerete block or stucco construction. You 
 turn at once to the Plan Section and show him scores of dif- 
 ferent designs in all of which the type of construction he 
 prefers is used. Then you turn to the Manufacturers’ Section,

Description of Home Builders Catalog (Cont’d) 
 
 Nothing short of actually building the house for 
 him will give your customer so clear an idea of how 
 his house will look when completed as a careful study 
 of the Plan Section and Manufacturers’ Section of 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG, 
 
 Changes in Floor Plans 
 
 The floor plans shown with each photographie illus- 
 tration of the completed house are those that experi- 
 ence has demonstrated to be best suited to that par- 
 ticular type of home. Nevertheless it will sometimes 
 happen that your customer will wish minor changes 
 made. These you can promise him, as the Archi- 
 tectural Department of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG is prepared to make such changes in the blue- 
 print plans at nominal cost. 
 
 Distinctive Designs 
 
 Look at the illustration of ‘‘The Alta Vista’’ on 
 page 782. Have you ever seen so much style and 
 distinction in a house of plain gable roof construc- 
 tion? You can see from the picture and the floor 
 plans that this is not an expensive house to build 
 but it has a charm and individuality all its own that 
 will make it the most admired house in its neigh- 
 borhood. 
 
 This is only one of hundreds of similar designs that 
 you will find in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG, 
 each embodying features of designs, construction or 
 interior arrangement that make them different from 
 the ordinary run of houses. 
 
 It costs no more to build a well designed house than 
 one that is poorly designed, in fact it usually costs 
 less, for in the well designed house every possible 
 saving in labor costs and materials are provided for. 
 Part of the money you save because of better design- 
 ing can be used for the purchase of better materials 
 and you are able to build a house in which first class 
 materials only are used for the same cost, or less, than 
 another contractor charges for a house constructed 
 of inferior materials. 
 
 Build Reputation Into Your Houses 
 
 Nothing so increases the business of a building con- 
 tractor as a reputation for building homes of char- 
 acter—homes that are beautiful and distinctive in 
 design and built of nationally known and approved 
 materials. HOME BUILDERS CATALOG gives 
 you in one great reference work the best designs and 
 complete information concerning all classes of the 
 best building materials. 
 
 A Never-Failing Source of Inspiration 
 
 ‘‘He builds wisely who builds well,’’ but the home 
 that is suitable for one family is not suitable for an- 
 other, therefore in HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
 you will find all sizes and types of homes, ranging in 
 cost from $3,500 to $15,000. Each design has some- 
 thing about it that distinguishes it from the ordinary 
 stock-plan house and each has actually been built 
 from the plans we furnish you, so there is no guess 
 work about it. 
 
 Here in one big volume—too big to be mislaid but 
 not too big to be easily carried with you—you have 
 525 illustrations and floor plans of homes and garages, 
 frame, brick, stucco, cement block and hollow tile, 
 each designed by a master hand and each with a charm 
 and character of its own. 
 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG 
 
 In other sections of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG are illustrations and descriptions of all the 
 various materials used in the construction of a home, 
 together with hundreds of suggestions for making ita 
 more comfortable place to live in. 
 
 More practical information and suggestions for the 
 home builder have been packed into the 1,000 pages of 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG than were ever be- 
 fore included in a single volume. Just turning the 
 pages at random will give you many an idea for im- 
 proving the homes you build without adding to their 
 cost. The contractor with ideas is the one the home 
 builder likes to do business with and with HOME 
 BUILDERS CATALOG beside you you will never 
 lack for inspiration. 
 
 A Co-operative Catalog of Building Materials 
 
 Why burden yourself with a multitude of indi- 
 vidual booklets and catalogs when in this one great 
 reference work of home building construction—the 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG—you have every- 
 thing you can find elsewhere and in more convenient 
 form for reference? 
 
 The arrangement of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG in sections, and the complete index of contents 
 enables you to turn instantly to the page containing 
 the information you desire. 
 
 A careful study of the pages of HOME BUILD 
 ERS CATALOG will reveal many ideas of great prac- 
 tical value—suggestions that you can pass on to your 
 customers and that will result in better and more 
 conveniently arranged homes. 
 
 An Authoritative Reference Book 
 
 In the preparation of HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG we have not. relied upon our own large staff of 
 building experts but have had the co-operation of the 
 leading national associations affiliated with the build- 
 ing industry as well as ‘the helpful assistance of hun- 
 dreds of manufacturers of building materials. We 
 believe, therefore, that HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG is destined to become the recognized authority 
 among Building Contractors on building construction 
 and materials. 
 
 To Be Published Annually 
 
 In order that the latest information regarding con. 
 struction materials and home equipment may be 
 available to the Building Contractor, HOME BUILD- 
 ERS CATALOG will be published annually. The 
 present volume is for the year 1926. The 1927 edition 
 will be larger and will contain many new features. 
 We will appreciate comments on the present volume 
 and suggestions for improvements. 
 
 Tell us first what you think of the book now before 
 you and how it will help you with your customers. 
 Then, when you have studied each section carefully, 
 tell us how we can make HOME BUILDERS CATA- 
 LOG more helpful to Building Contractors. 
 
 Every Building Contractor who writes us a letter 
 of appreciation, or helpful suggestion, will receive a 
 copy of the 1927 edition of HOME BUILDERS 
 CATALOG.

BISHOPRIC INTER-LOCKING BASE 
 FOR STUCCO OR PLASTER 
 
 Made by 
 
 THE BISHOPRIC MANUFACTURING CO 
 
 CINCINNATI, OHIO 
 Products 
 
 Bishopric Stucco (described on next page), Bishopric Stucco Base and 
 Plaster Base (described on this page) and Bishopric Sunfast Finish for stucco 
 walls (described on next page). 
 
 An Insulating Re-Inforcement, Especially Designed for Stucco Work 
 
 Bishopric Base (or “Bishopric Board” as it is sometimes called) is designed 
 especially for stucco work. It has been tested in thousands of buildings for a 
 quarter of a century and is specified by leading architects and used by builders 
 everywhere. 
 
 Eminent Architect Uses Bishopric Base for his Own Buildings 
 
 When an architect who stands at the top of his profession uses a building 
 material in his own buildings you may safely follow his example. Ernest Flagg, 
 architect of the Singer Building, New York ; the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, 
 D. C.; and many other notable edifices, illustrates in his book “Small Houses,” 
 a number of model homes he is erecting on his estate on Staten Island, New 
 York. Among these are several half-timbered houses and on the plans “Bishopric” 
 is indicated as a base for the stucco fill between the timbers.

 Bishopric Interlocking Base 
 
 Bishopric Base is the ideal foundation or backing for 
 stucco work. It is a combination of building paper, 
 sheathing, and insulation, none of which is required 
 when Bishopric Base is used. It is made by heavily 
 coating a fibre board with asphalt mastic and then 
 pressing into the asphalt while still hot, evenly spaced, 
 beveled wood bars. When nailed to the stads it forms 
 a strong, rigid support for the stucco which keys per- 
 fectly between the wood bars. 
 
 Economical to Use 
 
 Both in first cost and in the cost of labor for apply- 
 ing Bishopric Base is decidedly economical. As already 
 pointed out it takes the place of building paper, insu- 
 lating material and sheathing, or lath, and is easily and 
 quickly nailed in place since it comes in long rolls, 
 giving the maximum of coverage with a minimum 
 amount of labor. ‘There is no waste. 
 
 Stronger than Lumber Sheathing 
 
 Bishopric Base has been frequently tested for strength 
 in comparison with lumber sheathing—at Yale Uni- 
 versity by Professor Shepard, at New York City, Chi- 
 cago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Mem- 
 phis, by municipal officials, and elsewhere—and always 
 with the same result; it is stronger, from 2 to 4 times 
 stronger, than well con- * 
 structed lumber sheathing. 
 We shall be glad to send 
 you detailed reports of these 
 tests on request.

 Bishopric Interlocking Base 
 Is Elastic 
 
 Owing to the manner in which it 
 is constructed Bishopric Base, while 
 bracing the frame of the building 
 to which it is applied is yet suf- 
 ficiently elastic to take up founda- 
 tion settlements and shrinkage of 
 lumber in the frame of the building, 
 thus relieving the stucco of these 
 strains and preventing cracking. 
 The spaces between the wood bars 
 are accurately spaced to provide the 
 proper key for the stucco and to 
 insure a base coat of the right thick- 
 ness. The fiber board and asphalt 
 mastic provide insulation and damp- 
 proofing and Bishopric Base possesses 
 
 also sounding-deadening qualities to 
 a high degree.

 Bishopric Interlocking Plaster Base 
 
 This is similar in construction to Bishopric Stucco Base 
 but is designed for use on inside walls instead of exterior 
 walls. It has all of the desirable qualities of Bishopric 
 Stucco Base and effects a decided saving in the amount of 
 plaster used as compared with wood lath, metal lath or 
 hollow tile. The following figures, based on reports of 
 leading plaster manufacturers tell the story:

 The Roof In Color Harmony. 
 
 Complete’ harmony of color, outside as well as in. 
 the modern note in home decoration. 
 
 True, the roof of a home must give protection against the 
 elements. It must last. But as a prominent architectural 
 feature of the house, it should also add to its beauty. 
 
 Indeed, in a wise choice of roof, body and trim color lies 
 your greatest opportunity to make beautiful the home you 
 build. 
 
 Realizing this, Richardson now offers you twelve distinctive 
 roof colorings—many of them wholly new. 
 
 In the slate surfacing of Richardson Multicrome Roofs, a 
 rich variety of color has been created, hitherto approximated 
 only in much more expensive types of roofs. In the panel 
 below is given a complete list of the basic Richardson colors. 
 Eight of them are shown on the other side of this page, 
 together with a chart suggesting a few of the combinations 
 in house trim, body and roof color which authorities especially 
 recommend. 
 
 That’s 
 
 The Nine Basic 
 Richardson Colors 
 
 Weathered Brown 
 Antique Brown 
 Jade Green 
 
 Gray Green 
 
 Tile Red 
 
 Dull Red 
 
 Dusk Blue 
 Heather Purple 
 Black Pearl 
 
 Three Exclusive 
 Blends 
 
 Opal—a beautiful ming- 
 ling of weathered brown 
 and gray green. 
 
 Bronze Mosaic—an un- 
 studied mixture of 
 weathered brown and 
 old red. 
 
 Duotone Brown—a com- 
 bination of two rich 
 tones, antique brown 
 and weathered brown. 
 
 To Help You Choose. 
 
 To help you choose the right roof for the right house, 
 Richardson has prepared an authoritative booklet What Color 
 tor the Roof? 
 
 In it, there is page after page of beautiful homes in dif- 
 ferent architectural styles, all in color to show the most tasteful 
 effects in body, trim and roof combinations. Interestingly 
 explained, too, are the principles of all good color schemes. 
 
 And with the Richardson Harmonizer which it contains you 
 can see the complete effect of 54 different roof and house 
 combinations. 
 
 The price of the book and harmonizer is 25ce. 
 today, for your copy. 
 
 50% Thicker Than the Ordinary Roof. 
 
 The Multicrome Roof is built of Richardson Super-Giant 
 Shingles—extra large, extra heavy. Its 50% greater thickness 
 adds years of endurance. Its base is sturdy, long-fibre Richard- 
 son felt. Its waterproofing is Viskalt—99.8% pure bitumen, 
 especially vacuum-processed. Its surface is slate in close, over- 
 lapping flakes—further protection against weather and fire 
 hazards. 
 
 This roof gives the maximum value at a moderate price. 
 It is’ economical to lay and equally good for new or over- 
 the-old-roof jobs. 
 
 The Multicrome Thatch. 
 
 This new Richardson roof, with its blended tones of weath- 
 ered brown and dull red suggests the mellow English downs 
 in every curve. It is an easy roof to apply, too. No expensive 
 cutting or trimming is necessary to secure the realistic thatch 
 effect. It comes in convenient sections, ready to lay.

A PRACTICAL PLAN SERVICE 
 
 ‘The Plan Service available in connection with Home 
 Builders Catalog is the most comprehensive and prac- 
 tical ever devised for the benefit of building contractors. 
 Every one of the 696 plans of frame, brick, brick veneer, 
 tile and stucco houses and garages illustrated in this 
 great reference work of home building construction has 
 actually been built. You can show your customer in 
 Home Builders Catalog an illustration of his home as 
 it will appear when finished—made from a photograph 
 —the house, itself, surrounded by trees, lawn and 
 flowers. This is what home builders want—photo- 
 graphic illustrations, not imaginary drawings of what 
 you propose to build for them. 
 
 We maintain a large force of architectural designers, 
 engineers and estimators, all men of long experience 
 and proven ability. Our homes are thoroughly modern 
 in every particular, yet designed with a practical 
 knowledge of building materials and construction 
 methods that enable the contractor to keep the price 
 within limits that the average home builder can afford. 
 
 Home Builders Catalog is published by the same men 
 who for 12 years have conducted the Architectural & 
 Publicity Bureau—the Bureau whose plan service is 
 used by eleven of the leading Retail Lumber Associations 
 of America. 
 
 Because of our long experience in this line of work, 
 our large and capable staff of building experts, and the 
 great volume of business we do, we are able to produce 
 and furnish blue-print plans, specifications, material 
 lists, ete., of higher quality and at a lower price than 
 any other concern. 
 
 HOME BUILDERS CATALOG is our latest and 
 most effective aid to building contractors—a book that 
 will enable you to build more and better homes. 
 
 This book illustrates the largest assortment of 
 original and modern home designs yet published, and 
 we believe will completely answer the individual needs 
 of every enterprising and up-to-date builder. All plans 
 were selected for their distinctive architectural merits 
 and adaptability to the modern trend in home design 
 and construction. 
 
 The illustrations include about: 
 225 Homes of All Frame Construction. 
 125 Homes of Brick Construction. 
 125 Homes with Stucco Outside Walls. 
 51 Garages of Popular Type. 
 
 together with additional plans of homes, illustrated 
 with plans for designing with and without basements, 
 totaling 696 different plans. 
 
 Detailed Blue-Print Working Plans 
 
 The blue-prints for each home or garage include all elevations, floor plans, 
 sections and details necessary to enable the contractor to erect with a clear 
 understanding and show all dimensions and notations, leaving nothing to guess 
 work, thus saving much time and labor also insuring against errors. 
 
 Classified Guide for Listing Quantity of Materials 
 
 This includes 16 pages, made up in systematic form that enables the contractor 
 to take off accurately and quickly, quantities of materials without danger of 
 
 omitting important items. 
 
 Specifications and Blank Contract Forms 
 
 With each set of plans are also furnished, Specifications and Contract forms. 
 
 The Specifications enable the contractor to erect building in a manner satisfactory 
 to the owner and state clearly all essential terms of the agreement between owner 
 and contractor, thus helping to prevent misunderstandings and disputes. 
 
 The Contract Forms give legality to the agreement set forth in the 
 
 Specifications. 
 
 Plans Altered to Suit Home Owner 
 
 We maintain a Service Department for the purpose of co-operating with the 
 contractor in altering blue-print plans to conform to the wishes of his customers. 
 Our charge for such alterations is very reasonable.

 well founded ieee. they are attractive,

 tinuous effect. There is a roominess in the 
 
 “Aurelia” much appreciated by the Home

 TUCCO, face brick, shingle thatched roof, and half timbered gables have all been carefully blended to 
 
 produce this beautiful bungalow. Only five rooms yet it offers seven room efficiency. The use of a full 
 size disappearing bed in the living room trans- 
 forms this into another bed room at night. Like- 
 wise the same arrangement is provided for the 
 sewing room. Space saving devices in the 
 kitchen make it a very efficient and compact 
 work room.

 "THE new popularity of the Spanish style is not without 
 
 cause. First, there is the rich outward beauty that can- 
 not be denied. Second the style lends itself to convenient 
 room arrangement. 
 And ;last, but not 
 least, the outside 
 walls are covered 
 with cane fbre

 the stucco is directly 
 applied thereby re- 
 ducing construction

 Apes expense of maintaining a two-apart- 
 ment home is not greatly in excess of 
 maintaining the single home, while the rent 
 received is a great aid in paying for the cost 
 of construction. A design like the above will 
 enable two families to dwell in comfort and 
 happiness. | 
 
 A twin home of the above type will prove 
 to be the most profitable investment for 
 those who build either for sale or for rent.

 perfect balance. You can visualize the effect of the combined living room and solarium from 
 the floor plan, and you may rest assured that it is delightful. Also note the large cham- 
 ber with fireplace and door opening to the upper deck. This home is a splendid illustration

 esting roof angles give the necessary distinction to this home. The entrance is archi- 
 tecturally perfect. The floor plan deserves a thorough examination for there are many 
 nooks and crannies and other attractive features that are not noticed at first glance. A home 
 to be desired.

 “The APACHE” 26 Ft. Wide x 46 Ft. Deep 
 
 BXPERIENCE has taught that this type of 
 
 bungalow is eminently practical and inex- 
 
 pensive to build. In appearance, however, the . ¥ 
 “Apache” differs from other bungalows of this ‘ 
 type mainly because of the attractive mixing of 
 stucco with face brick. The arched effect of the i
