 SKKIL iiifnmmtion for those interested in the erection of buildings, artistic as well ns durable. Mucli money has been spent 
 [^ on larjfe buildintrs. witlmut considering progressive ideas of construction, or pleasing effects In arciiitpcturc. One of the 
 
 uriMtisi iKiints to be considcreil is the scleiitilic. as well as the practical nianipulatioii of all raw material entering into these structures. 
 Long ex|)erience has taught me thai nothing is too good in tlie way of material, ami 1 span' no time, or expense to secure tlie 
 iMfSt results ol)ialnal)le In preparing the plans and specitications, and superintending the c<mstructioii. You may have an elegant set 
 of plans, and if tlie builder dix-s not follow them, the owner is the loser. ;iiid the architect has to shoulder the blame. .So many of our 
 profession understand the theory but are unable to put the same Into jiractical execution. 
 
 On the following pages of this pamphlet will !»■ found a few suggestions to the public, also cuts of a few buildings executed 
 In my ofllce. 
 
 The advertisement* th.it apjtear In this catalogue n-pre.sent the very best firms in their respective lines and .solicit first class wcirk. 
 Parties who desire g<Hid work :in<l low prices will do well to c4)rrespond wilh them.

Varnish in Arehitecture. 
 
 n WORD POH THE CLiIEHT. 
 
 There would be fewer mistakes made in the world if it were ordained that only the maker of a 
 mistake should suffer the consequences. More care would be exercised, and a more perfect state of affairs 
 would prevail if ever^' man had to bear the whole brunt of his own errors or miscalculations. 
 
 Take the interior finishing of a house for instance, if a poor or unsuitable varnish is used for the 
 woodwork, the real sufferer is neither the Architect who specified it, the Contractor or the Finisher, but 
 the Owner who has no practical knowledge of Varnish, and who had nothing whatever to do with 
 making the blunder. 
 
 It is largely within the power of the Architect to protect his client from becoming the victim of a 
 mistake of this kind by carefully specifying the right Varnish. 
 
 If Hard Oil Finish is specified and used, the result will be the finest finish attainable on wood, but 
 it should be remembered b}' both Architect and Client that there is no Hard Oil Finish but "Berry 
 Hrothers' Hard Oil Finish", and scaled cans bearing our label should be insisted upon. 
 
 Finished woods and interesting pamphlets on natural wood finishing sent free to any address upon 
 application.
