 The. constantly increasing demand for ornamental ironj the as con- 
 fj stantly enlarging field for its architectural use and for purely decorative 
 effectSj and the development of taste and artistic discernment in the selection 
 of designs have been incentives to betterment, The contents of this volume^ 
 illustrating the product of our works in part during the past yearj furnishes 
 the evidence of our entire ability to fully meet the demand and to antici- 
 pate the wish of owner and architect for artistic results as well as for con- 
 structional merit. 
 
 Numerous new designs are showhj many of which represent novel crea- 
 tions provided for special constructive and ornamental features; these speak 
 for themselves In the illustrations. 
 
 New and improved methods and finishes have been made necessary; and 
 they have been successfully developed and introduced. 
 
 A study of the list of important buildings in which we have placed the 
 ornamental iron work win fairly indicate the resources of our works and the 
 measure of favor and appreciation with which it has been received, while in 
 the partial list of architectSj under whose direction and supervision the work 
 has been donej in many instances after designs prepared by themseivesj will 
 be found the names of the leading practitioners in the countryj and to each 
 and all of these gentlemen we unhesitatingly refer. 
 
 Except as otherwise specifiedj the designs shown in this volume are 
 original with us and the proprietary rights therein will be maintained,

 For a fine exhibit and well designed and executed 
 mantelpiece and attachments in electroplating work. 
 
 Large Carriage, Hand-Forged Gate. 
 This exhibit represents a high degree of perfection in 
 design and execution. The design is carefully studied to fit 
 the material under treatment, and workmanship of the high- 
 est order is observable in every part of the structure. The 
 whole work is strictly handwork, done with hammer and 
 chisel, and nothing has been neglected to produce a most 
 meritorious article, both from an artistic and structural stand- 
 point. In order to prevent repetition, it may be stated that 
 the same high standard has been observed in all the separate 
 examples of ornamental wrought ironwork exhibited by this 
 firm, and their electroplating work is especially carefully exe- 
 cuted.

 PRESS NOTICES. 
 
 A new trade paper called Ornamental Iron is before us. It is per- 
 haps a house organ, but, nevertheless, by reason of the attractiveness of 
 its contents, is entitleJ to more than passing consideration. The num- 
 ber bears date of August, and is published monthly by the Wiuslow 
 Brothers Company, Rookery building, Chicago, The half-tone process of 
 engraving is relied upon to embellish the pages, and the work shown is 
 for the most part ornamental structures in iron and steel. Some plates 
 of ornamental ironwork are introduced, which come from the works of 
 the Winslow Brothers Company, and are, in a sense, supplemental to the 
 paper. The new fire-proof construction which was introduced in the 
 Smith & Randolph building, Brooklyn, a short time since, is very fully 
 illustrated, more from the standpoint, however, of the general reader 
 than from the point of view of the architect and huilder.— Business. 
 
 We are under obligations to the Winslow Brothers Company, of Chi- 
 cago, for their catalogue of designs of ornamental iron, and would ac- 
 knowledge same with thanks. 
 
 In beauty, finish and design, it presents the appearance of an art 
 work, and in instruction is equal to years of study as an apprentice in 
 this special field of iron architecture. 
 
 The Winslow Brothers Company are the largest manufacturers of 
 these goods in the world, and are fitting nearly all the prominent build- 
 ings and hotels in the country with elevator inclosures, staircase rail- 
 ings, elevator cars, elaborate chandeliers, etc., also bank and office fit- 
 tings in brass and iron. — Intending Biiilde)-. 
 
 The catalogues issued by the Winslow Brothers Company, of Chicago, 
 for the current year merit more than casual attention. Their photogra- 
 vure edition is a sumptuous book, bound in cloth, and containing 141 
 photogravure plates of work executed by them. The plates are finely 
 printed, and the volume is an important index to noteworthy recent work. 
 Taken as a whole, the work of this company attains a high order of excel- 
 lence, and their catalogues amply testify to the good work they are doing 
 for ornamental iron in this country. — Engineering Magazine. 
 
 Ornamental Iron is the title of a very handsome publication which 
 has made its appearance with a view of treating extensively the subject 
 of ornamental cast and wrought iron. It is quarto in size, profusely 
 illustrated, printed on heavy and finely graded paper, and contains a 
 great deal of matter that is of the very greatest interest to foundrymen 
 everywhere. — Tlie Foundry. 
 
 Orn.amental Iron is the title of a new monthly publication devoted 
 to the practical and the artistic phases of metallic decorations as applied 
 to architecture. The first number contains many handsome illustrations, 
 including some lialf-tones of wrought iron Bower liarffed electroliers of 
 exquisite design that should interest central station managers. Mr. W. 
 H. Kokman is the editor of Ornamental Iron, with oflSces in the Rook- 
 ery. — Eleclrii ul Engineer. 
 
 Clay workers, engaged in the better class of work, will find the new 
 catalogue of the Winslow Brothers Company, at Chicago, illustrative of 
 the remarks we have made in regard to proper catalogue work. It is the 
 sort of thing that is effective among architects, illustrating as it does the 
 best work the company has executed under architects' direction. The 
 subjects are photographs reproduced in gelatine, and of the 141 plates, 23 
 are devoted to stairways and balconies, 17 to railings, 29 to elevator in- 
 closures, 2 to twelve designs for elevator cars, 2 to panels, medallions, 
 etc., and 63 to counter railings, entrances, canopies and other miscellane- 
 ous subjects. The same opportunity is open to brick or terra cotta mak- 
 ers, to produce a catalogue that will be kept as a work of art. For fine 
 illustrative work, terra cotta or good brickwork is equal to wrought iron. 
 Of course, such a catalogue is expensive, but there can be no doubt that it 
 is an investment of the most profitable kind.— 77«<? Brick Builder. 
 
 If any doubts existed as to the great progress made by artistic iron 
 workers in this country, a glance at the contents of the newly issued 
 catalogue of the Winslow Brothers Company, of Chicago, would abun- 
 dantly suffice to dispel such misgivings, and afford conclusive evidence of 
 the high position this branch of industrial art has reached in the United 
 States. The catalogue in question is actually a handsome album, con- 
 taining numerous beautiful photographic reproductions of ornamental 
 metal work, chiefly in wrought iron, which have been executed by the 
 firm for many prominent office and public buildings throughout the 
 country. As a record of the progress made by them in the application of 
 metal to architectural and decorative purposes, this volume is a suf- 
 ficiently striking one. It also reflects great credit on the architectural 
 iron working industry of America generally, showing clearly, as it does, 
 the marked strides made within the last few years toward the attainment 
 of higher artistic ideals in this craft. * " The specimens given in 
 the photogravure edition before us evidence the growing appreciation of 
 this class of work by architects aud others in the decoration of our 
 modern buildings. The cities of Chicago aud Minneapolis furnish the 
 majority of the subjects presented, but the list of buildings in which 
 Messrs. Winslow's work has been placed covers a wide field, including 
 Germany and Mexico, besides all parts of the United States. 
 — Iron Age. 
 
 One of the new periodicals printed in this city is a monthly magazine 
 entitled Ornamental Iron. William H. Kckman, formerly of Cleveland, 
 is the editor. Although something in the nature of a trade journal. 
 Ornamental Iron contains much of general interest in these days, when 
 the decoration of buildings for business purposes and homes receives so 
 much attention. The Winslow Brothers Company publishes the magazine, 
 which is extensively illustrated with photogravures aud half-tones. The 
 work will make a valuable addition to any library table. Mr. Eckman, 
 the editor, is well known as a newspaper man and an art connoisseur in 
 Chicago aud elsewhere. The Winslow Brothers Company has also issued 
 an illustrated catalogue of ornamental ironwork, which is ornamental 
 enough in itself The book is filled with photogravures, picturing the 
 ironwork done by this firm, not only in the big buildings of Chicago, but 
 in those of other large cities, and gives a number of interior scenes, 
 including staircases, bauk vaults, balcony railings, elevator guards, door 
 entrances, and other similar work that are really works of art. — Cliicago 
 Mail. 
 
 We are indebted to the Winslcw Brothers Company, of Chicago, for a 
 handsome collection of photographs of ornamental iron. This new 
 photogravure edition of their catalogue for the year 1893 is certainly a 
 very creditable specimen of the printers' art, but cannot fail of being of 
 great use to the architect and contractor who are about to order work of 
 this kind. A long list of buildings that have been supplied with this 
 class of work by this firm, being in many cases illustrated by engravings, 
 gives the reader an opportunity to judge of the effect produced, which in 
 some instances is really very fine. P. H. Jackson & Co., of 228 and 230 
 First Street, this city, are the agents. The first number of a monthly 
 journal called "Ornamental Iron," devoted to industrial art, has just 
 been received. Certainly, the publishers have reason to congratulate 
 themselves upon having produced a gem. The illustrations are truly 
 works of art applied to every-day use. — California Architect and Building

CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 Gentlemen:— I am in receipt of yourlbeautiful catalogue, for which 
 receive ray warmest thanks. I have always admired your artistic work, 
 and commend your exhibit in the Manufactures Building at the World's 
 Fair. I hope I shall be able to do here in Milwaukee what the profession 
 and artists like yourselves (for such I esteem you) are doing for Chicago, 
 namely, educate the people to love the chaste and beautiful. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I. JAY KNAPP. 
 
 It is a work that, if it meets with anything like the recognition it 
 deserves, cannot fail to do excellent missionary work in its field I 
 noticed with great pleasure the exhibit of Messrs. Winslow Brothers, at 
 the World's Fair, and congratulate them on the excellent display.

 The catalogue which you so kindly sent reached me to-day, and I 
 hasten to acknowledge it. It is simply a revelation to me, and I shall 
 not tire of turning its pregnant pages. The fair dreams wrought in iion 
 contained in it are more than I had even imagined.

 Dear .Sirs:— Accept my thanks for the copy of Ornamental Iron 
 kindly furnished to this school by you. The illustrations are very fine, 
 as well as the designs, and I think they will prove of great interest and 
 use to our pupils. Very truly yours, H. H. BELFIELD, Director.

 It is a most artistic publication, and, I assure you, creates a decided 
 interest in ornamental iron work among my clients.

 Dear Sirs: — Your last number of Ornamental Iron has emblazoned 
 upon the cover the announcement of your successful competition at the 
 World's Columbian Exposition, eight medals having been awarded ! Allow 
 me to congratulate you upon the result, and to state that having care- 
 fully inspected all of the various exhibits of ornamental ironwork shown 
 there, I fully agree with the judges who made the awards. It was on ray 
 first visit to Europe, in 1856, that my eyes were opened to the possibilities 
 afforded by wrought iron for the display of artistic taste and skill Un- 
 derstanding some of the practical difficulties which the artist and work- 
 man (or I should say more correctly, artist-workman) had to contend with 
 in the nature of the material, I was astonished at the productions of the 
 old masters, notably Quintin Matsys in Antwerp, and many exaraples 
 throughout Italy whose names I cannot recall. At Verona in particular 
 I saw some wonderful work about the tombs of the ,Scala family. Within 
 the last forty years the use of wrought iron for ornamentation has in- 
 creased and become general all over Europe, but it is within twenty years 
 that it has been adopted to any extent on this side. 
 
 The factors necessary to develop this class of work are wealth and art 
 education. Skilled labor is costly, and an artist or architect— and in this 
 connection the terms should be synonymous — should not be restricted by 
 price if a high class of work is wanted. 
 
 Here frequently is where trouble occurs in this line; the architect 
 furnishes elaborate and tasteful designs, but impracticable for want of 
 knowledge of the limits of the material. Or, possibly, through competi- 
 tion the work is intrusted to workmen who have no conception of how it 
 should be executed, and while a semblance is produced, the work Jacks in 
 feeling and is not artistic. The perfect conditions for producing good 
 results have. I think, been reached in your concern ; you are both archi- 
 tects and artists, having a practical knowledge of structural require- 
 ments, and the adaptability of materials to give greatest effect. Not 
 ignoring the fact that you have had furnished you original and elegant 
 designs from the most talented architects supported by wealthy and intel- 
 ligent patrons, still, in my opinion, your firm has done more than any 
 other to advance the general excellence of this class of work. I beg to in- 
 close a cut of a gate of hammered wrought ironwork which formed one 
 portion of my exhibit at the Centennial E.^hibition,'-' and from this you 
 can see that I was at that time well advanced in this class of work ; but I 
 regret to say that the demand in this country for such work has not been 
 sufficient to enable me to keep pace with what has been done on your 
 side. My only exhibit at Chicago was a sample of hot-water heater, 
 known as the " Buffalo Hot- Water Boiler," and for which I obtained an 
 award. Yours truly, H. R. IVES.

 Highest Type and Best Construction.

 * 
 
 The demand for a better class of work than is offered to purchasers by the competing elevator manufacturers has called the 
 Winslow Bros. Elevator Company into existence. 
 
 Our aim shall be to build the highest type of elevators for passenger duty. 
 
 Our policy shall be to adopt the most highly approved mechanism, and to so perfect our general construction, that we 
 shall excel in the three essential qualities of safety, efficiency and durability. 
 
 In Chicago we are the successors to Messrs. Wm. E. & Geo. W. Hale, the well-known pioneers in passenger elevator build- 
 ing, in believing that the best on\y should be made part of passenger elevator construction. 
 
 Co-operating with us for the successful accomplishment of the high aims just outlined, is Mr. W. E. Carr, who has assumed 
 the management of our company. Mr. Carr is favorably known through his prominent connection for several years with the 
 management of the Hale Elevator Company. He is in entire sympathy with our general policy, and is in every way competent 
 to guarantee the desired results. 
 
 We have also engaged the seivices of Mr. H. R. Smith, an elevator engineer of established reputation, under whose charge 
 were executed some of the most important plants built by the Hale Elevator Company before its withdrawal from the field. 
 
 As Consulting Engineer we are fortunate in securing Mr. Kennerley Bryan, who leaves his important position as an engi- 
 neer of Otis Brothers & Co., of New York, to assist in our enterprise. Mr. Bryan has had the advantage of years of experience 
 with the Otis Company, known throughout America and Europe as manufacturers of elevator machinery of the most approved 
 type. He now has the reputation of being one of the most skillful and experienced engineers in the art of elevator building. 
 
 Our erecting foremen and skilled mechanics are selected from the most experienced and reliable, and with their years of 
 experience are considered to be the most competent in every respect. 
 
 Although presenting our claims for recognition under a name new to purchasers of elevators, our entire force is composed 
 of experts selected from among the best of those whose skill gave to the Hale Elevator Compan} of the West, and to Otis 
 Brothers & Co., of the East, a world-wide reputation. Our mechanics have been trained during a period of years in the belief 
 that the desired end in elevator building is to produce the perfect and not the cheapest construction. 
 
 We are not organized for the purpose of competing with those manufacturers whose aim is apparently to produce the 
 cheapest, but we shall build what has been found to be beyond doubt, tlie safest and most efficient, and that in the best manner 
 possible. 
 
 We shall also make a special effort to combine the most perfect mechanical construction with an artistic finish, which will 
 result in making the complete elevator plant a much n.ore ornamental feature of the building than has been possible in the past 
 on account of there having been no harmony between the elevator manufacturer and the worker iu ornamental iron. 
 
 While we aim to build better elevator jjlants than other manufacturers offer, we shall guard against unnecessarj- expense. 
 Our construction is necessarily higher iu first cost, but the additional outlay of purchase money required over the prices of other 
 companies is more than justified by the much greater degree of safety, efficiency and durability that we effect. The money 
 saved by the use of our construction in place of the poorly built, expensively operated elevators, sold at prices below the cost of 
 first-class mechanism, amounts in the lifetime of the plant to more than the entire first cost. The annual saving iu the cost of 
 coal and repairs is a heavy percentage of the initial sum spent upon the entire equipment. 
 
 The only positive proof of the truth of our claims is the test of time. That, we cannot now give, but we shall be pleased to 
 offer for the consideration of inquiring parties, proofs which we believe will convince any unprejudiced person who wishes to 
 make an intelligent decision upon this subject so vital to the success of the modern building. 
 
 Preliminary plans and estimates, with general information, wWI be furnished by us to architects and owners with pleasure 
 upon receipt of application. 
 
 Please address all inquiries and communications to
