TWENTIETH ANNUAL EDITION — ONE MILLION COPIES 1908 W. E. CALDWELL, PRESIDENT. H, B. WINTERSMITH, VICE-PRESIDENT. R. E. MILLER, SECRETARY. ESTABLISHED 1877. INCORPORATED 1892. . FOREWORD The many changes that are constantly occurring in the business fabric make it inevitable that this catalogue for the first time should fall into the hands of many - new firms; to thousands of others it will come as an old acquaintance, if not a friend; to all that are now, or may be, interested in the question of Water Supply, we com- mend it as worthy of preservation. Discount sheets will be furnished upon application, or net prices quoted where preferred. In the limited space at our disposal, we are unable to do much more than to furnish a price list of these goods—and not a complete one at that, as only the standard articles more generally used are shown. We build every variety of te=X and all the fixtures and fittings used in connection with any kind of a tank or water supply job. We have made a specialty for years of the use of Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress in our wooden tanks. This is recognized by engineers and architects, as well as experienced users, as being the ideal wood for tank purposes, It is a straighter growing timber, practically free of all knots, and will not warp and twist or shrink and swell like most tank woods. Its special claim to distinction, however, is its marvelous durability; and the fact that it will not impart any taste or taint or odor to liquids that coiae in contact with it, makes it far superior for storage tanks for cider, vinegar, fruit syrups and other special preparations. We can furnish tanks, however, of White Pine, Oregon Fir, or Yellow Pine. In addition, we construct galvanized steel tanks ard heavy plate steel tanks as illustrated on pages twelve and thirteen of catalogue. The designing and building of tank towers and of foundations on buildings for tanks is made a specialty by us; and our technical knowledge, coupled with the years of experience we have had, qualify us to handle any problems of this character whatever the engineering difficulties may be. Our Tank Towers are of two general designs: Onea Sectional Tower coupled with heavy sockets, and the other a Latticed Column Tower with the sections riveted together. The former design is furnished with either Tubular Columns or Angle Columns. All three are illustrated in the catalogue. We, also, furnish an All-Wood tower and a Combination structure with wooden columns and struts and steel brace rods, as shown on pages thirty-two and thirty- four of catalogue. We often furnish plans for either of these towers where cus- tomers want to supply their own wood-work. Our business extends into every part of the country, and we ship besides to Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Central and South America; and, in our thirty years experi- ence, we have built up a reputation for furnishing the very best quality of work in this line and only ask one opportunity to satisfy any prospective purchaser that we can furnish him better goods, and cheaper goods in the long run, than he can get elsewhere. We have demonstrated this to the satisfaction of thousands of the largest concerns in the country, and the best evidence that we can offer to support this claim is the fact that two-thirds of our business last year came from or through the recommendation of old customers, : We take contracts to erect tanks and towers in any part of the United States, Canada or Mexico. We also issue a Special Galvanized Tank Catalogue, and a Catalogue ot Water Works Systems for Country Homes, and a sixty-four page book of Photographic Views with embossed cover that is a very handsome specimen of the printer’s art— any, or all of which, we shall be glad to send to any address. ae A CALDWELL OUTFIT AND GET THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN WE ALSO BUILD STEEL TANKS OF ALL SIZES AND KINDS 2 W. HK. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. ee ow DIFFERENT TANK WOODS. CYPRESS. Cypress is everywhere recognized as the ideal wood for tank purposes. It is the most durable wood known and, being very straight grained, will warp and twist but little. It also shrinks and swells less than other woods, and it will not give off any taste or odor or color. For this reason it is especially suitable for cider and vinegar, fruit syrups, coloring dyes and other preparations that would be injured by any contamination from the wood. Cypress Tanks are used almost exclusively for acids and chemicals, and for hot liquids, as nothing else will give as lasting service. ‘All of our Cypress is thoroughly kiln-dried or air-dried. WHITE PINE. White Pine is used almost altogether for Water Tanks, where something cheaper than Cypress is wanted, and for Brine Tanks in Pickle Works. This lumber has more knots than Cypress, but our tank plank is cut to our own specifications, and only thoroughly sound and tight knots are accepted, and these must have no black rims, so the value of the lumber is in no wise impaired for tank purposes. This material, when carefully selected stock, such as ours, is used, makes a good, serviceable tank that will last for years. Our White Pine is all air-dried. YELLOW PINE. Of late years the use of Yellow Pine for Tanks has increased to a large extent, and particularly for Acid Tanks, Stuff Chests, etc, for Paper Mill work. While Cypress gives better results for hot acids, Yellow Pine is su- perior to it for cold or warm acids. It is also extensively employed in the manufacture of the ordinary Water Tank, and especially for large Tanks, for which stock required can be obtained more easily than in any other kind of lumber, and at a very little additional cost for lengths and thickness above the standard, which in Cypress and White Pine very considerably augments the cost. We carry a large stock of Yellow Pine in lengths up to 30 feet, and in 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 inch thicknesses. The durability of Yellow Pine is fully equal to White Pine, and the grading of the lumber is just the same. YELLOW POPLAR. This wood, like Cypress, does not impart any taste, odor or color to liquids that come into contact with it. Poplar is very close grained, and is used especially for tanks to hold medicines, whisky and other volatile liquids. We are unusually careful and painstaking in making tanks for these purposes, knowing how important it is to have ‘close, tight-fitting joints. The quality of lumber employed is the same as in Cypress. WE ALSO BUILD STEEL TANKS OF ALL SIZES AND KINDS W. E. CALDWELL CO.

These Tanks are Chemical Tubs extensively used in Woolen Acid Tubs and Cotton Mills, Mines, Brine Tubs Chemical Works, Tin Plate, Rinsing Tubs Nail, and Rolling Mills, Ice \ pops as \ Coy Factories, Breweries, etc, etc. Our Rectangular Tanks are all thoroughly constructed and finished. Just as much pains is taken with the smaller sizes as with the larger. They are built of dry lumber of proper thickness, are heavily rodded with both horizontal and’° perpendicular rods at proper intervals (rods being supplied with nuts and cast washers that cover large surfaces), so that the joints in sides, ends and bottoms may be thoroughly drawn to- gether and a water-tight tank thereby in- sured. | We generally furnish plain iron rods oa | washers, but we carry a stock of both Gal- SSS SS vanized Iron and Brass Rods, which we can 7 HN <= supply where required.

The hooping of a tank is the most important point about its construction, for upon the strength of the hoops depends the safety of the tank. The very best quality of material may be put into the tank, it may be manufactured in a first-class manner and erected properly, and all this avail nothing if the hoops are not strong enough to hold it together against the weight and pressure of the water. There should, of course, be sufficient strength in the hoops not only just to hold against the pressure, but to allow a proper margin or factor of safety, which should be not less than four to one; in other words, if the tensile strength of the steel is estimated at 60,000 pounds, the hoops furnished should be of such a number and size that when properly spaced on the tank, no more than 15,000 pounds stress per square inch of section should come on any hoop. It may be a strong statement to make, but it is true, nevertheless, ‘that a great many tank manufacturers are not able to calculate the size of hoops re- quired for a tank, and have to depend altogether upon their general ideas of about what seems the proper number and size to use, and this, unfortunately, does not, by any means, apply to just the small firms that build tanks. Under these circumstances, a desire to meet the views of prospective pur- chasers as to price offers a strong temptation to such a manufacturer to con- clude he will be safe in furnishing hoops a little lighter or fewer in number than he himself considers to be safe, which is only another way of pointing out the advisability of dealing with thoroughly responsible and competent manu- facturers, as you then will run no risk of this kind. The tendency toward the use of round hoops is increasing at a rapid rate, as their superiority is becoming more widely known and better appreciated. This style of hoop is several times as thick as a flat hoop of the same weight, and there is consequently several times the metal to rust through before the hoop gives out; moreover, since the corrosion of hoops is principally from the inside, where the band bears on the staves, the point of attack is materially lessened in the round hoops, since only a small part of it bears on the tank. Besides, practically the entire surface of the round hoop can be examined, and consequently, the condition of the hoops easily determined, and, in addi- tion, they-can be kept well painted, whereas, flat hoops can be painted only on one side, after they are put on the tank. y The allowable working strain for round hoops is given below: Aen CHS... anes ce e 1,650 pounds.

The proper spacing of the hoops is also of great importance, as otherwise some of the hoops may have to bear twice the strain they are intended to. A plan should be obtained for the spacing. We have these hoop plans made up for all sizes of tanks up to 30 feet in diameter. As threads are cut on round hoops for the draw lugs, the strength of these hoops must necessarily be based on the diameter of the hoops under the threads, and, therefore, the total weight of the round hoops required for any tank must be considerably more than would be necessary in flat hoops for that same tank. piety, MALLEABLE IRON ROUND LUGS.

Department of Agriculture, Division of Forestry, 1898. “One of the most highly valued properties of Cypress is its great dura- bility. Rived Shingles of Cypress are claimed to have endured over eighty years in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Posts and piling of Cypress are sought for their durability. Cypress Excels for Tank Material, and of late, builders of greenhouses, with whom a Hemlock or Oak board decays in one to three years, are beginning to use Cypress for frames and partitions. In the woods old Cypress logs endure apparently for centuries —and a great deal of good shingle timber has been dug out of the ground apparently as sound as ever, and certainly as much appreciated for this purpose as logs of standing trees. “IN GENERAL IT IS PROBABLY SAFB TO SAY THAT THE HEARTWOOD OF CYPRESS IELTS TIE TTS TLS TEN ALLIEN DOLE LAL LE IIE PRE LIES REELS I SIA te 8 RES ES RRRE AINE DT NS RO PEO TR LASTS TWO OR THREE TIMES AS LONG AS THE HEARTWOOD OP PINE.” LL TLE IL TTI LID ILL LI IRIEL DEL LOL ED LILLE I EDL LDS ELE EEL ELI EL AOE ALO REELED NIE DS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN Of December, 1891: “Cypress feibee owing to its beautiful finish and durability and light- ness, has long been in favor in the Gulf Coast States, and is fast growing in favor in the more northern States, especially among those who have tested and know its many good qualities. “Cypress is especially adapted to building Tanks, Tubs, and Vats, and when used for such purposes it never will decay. “Tt also makes better Sash, Doors, Blinds, and Frames than White Pine, and many railroads use it for water tanks. It stands the weather better than White Pine; does not warp or twist, and does not shrink or swell. “No lumber in the world equals it for tanks, vats, siding, or weather boards, exposed floors or shingles. Siding can be used and not painted, and will last fifty years. “The durability of Cypress is illustrated by the examples of roofs in Mobile and New Orleans in good order laid sixty years ago.” FROM THE NORTHWESTERN LUMBERMAN Of June, 1894: “Fhe phenomenal durability of cypress is believed to proceed from the presence in its natural chemical composition of an acid having the active qualities of creosote. There is, of course, some natural cause for its demon- strated proof against the ravages of water, air, and time, and that cause is equally, of course, of a chemical character. In other words, nature seems to have treated Cypress in a manner somewhat corresponding, in its results, at least, to that of the artificial use of ereosote as a preservative.” FROM THE TRADESMAN Of January, 1899: “The value of various woods for tanks has been discussed to its capacity by people of experience, both past and present, and so thorough have these discussions been that the information gained has proved of advantage, not only to the manufacturer, but the buyer, as well. The woods more commonly used are Pine, Poplar, Redwood, Cedar, and Cypress.

CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. FIRE PROTECTION AND WATER SUPPLY FOR MANUFACTURING PLANTS. The outfit we illustrate on opposite page of catalogue is similar to hun- dreds which we have furnished for use all over the country, both for inde- pendent fire protection systems and in connection with automatic sprinkler equipments. The saving in cost of insurance accomplished by the installation of such an outfit is so great that hundreds of mills and factories are added each year to the thousands already so equipped. This is particularly the case with outfits put in for use in connection with sprinkler systems. When the sprinkler people guarantee, by putting in their equipment, to secure such a reduction in your premium rates (from the very best com- panies) as will pay for the investment in four or five years, the reason for this is readily apparent. We don’t sell or install automatic sprinklers, but we Eee Se dy tanks and towers for use in connection with them, one of the iron-clad requirements of the insurance companies being that two sources of supply for the sprinklers must be provided, and one of these is almost invariably an elevated tank. The bottom of this tank must be 20 feet above the highest sprinkler-head in the plant, so that ordinarily a tower of considerable height is necessary to give sufficient elevation to the tank. The tank support or tower is nearly always erected above the ground where space will permit, as this plan has many advantages over that of erecting it on the building. Even where the walls of the building, and the foundations under them, are strong enough to carry the load, very long and heavy beams must generally be used to give a support to one or more legs of the tower, and these, with the heavy iron plates to go under them and the masonry work usually required to level up and prepare the walls, ordinarily makes such an outfit cost nearly as much as one built up from the ground—except where there are T walls on which the tower can be supported. Then we can supply a 3-column or triangular tower to rest directly on the wall, so that the expensive beams mentioned above are not required. But it should not be forgotten that with either style of tower any accident to the building means the collapse of the tank and tank sup- port, and a very serious loss that would be avoided if the tower were erected apart from the building. eS) Sometimes a brick tower, for the special purpose of providing a support for the tank, forms a part of the building, when, of course, nothing more than the timbers or I beams, on which the tank bottom is to rest, is required. In such cases we furnish either the work complete or the tank only. ‘ We make a specialty of this work in all its different phases, and our knowledge of this subject is so thorough, and our experience in the business so extended; that we can quite often help a customer with valuable sugges- — tions as to the best plan for him to follow. We have testimonial letters from dozens of the leading firms in as many different lines of business, who will testify to the economy of such a system and the thorough reliability of our work, and shall be glad to refer any prospective customer to these firms, though the fact that our outfits are both endorsed and recommended by the principal insurance companies and the leading automatic sprinkler concerns is about as conclusive evidence on this point as could be desired. f State your requirements and write for prices and plans, and remember we build both tanks and towers of either iron or wood.

In asking for prices on Tanks and Towers, prospective purchasers often state that the outfit must conform to the requirements of the Insurance Com- panies. It is necessary also to state whether your insurance is to be placed with the Associated Factory Mutual Companies or the Board of Stock Companies, as the former companies now have definite specifications governing such work, whereas the other companies have not prepared any as yet. This is doubtless due to the number of these companies and the fact that they operate independently. The Associated Companies being under one general manage- ment can arrange these matters more speedily; however, their specifications were not issued till the first part of 1902. Prior to this (and the same will still apply to the Board Companies until they do as the Associated Mutual Companies have done) the practice has always been for the Insurance people to state the capacity and the elevation of tank required and leave the details of construction to be settled by the in- tending user and the manufacturer of the goods. This, of course, means a great lack of uniformity in the kind and quality of articles covered by the different bids for the same equipment, and while the purchaser may, and ‘often does, regard them all as being practically on the same basis, yet, as a ‘matter of fact, no two are apt to be alike in respect to the size of tank, quality of material, weight of hoops, and so on; and one bid may be for an outfit worth 25 per cent more than some other. Under such conditions the man with the lowest price often gets the business when he is not entitled to it. Naturally this has resulted in the installation of a great deal of defective work that was bound to prove an endless annoyance and expense to the user. Moreover, it is at the bottom of most tank accidents that have occurred with considerable frequency in ‘recent years, and which have nearly always been accompanied with heavy damage to property and not infrequently with in- juries (sometimes fatal ones) to persons. These, in fact, are the reasons given by the Factory Mutual Companies for the issuance of their specifications, which were prepared from recommen- dations and suggestions given them by the manufacturers of such goods, and the knowledge their own engineers already had on the subject, and which are very thorough. They cover every detail of construction, besides specifically regulating the dimensions of tanks of different capacities, the thickness and quality of lumber to be used, the size and number of hoops, etc., and they are such aS we can recommend where the very best construction is wanted ; though they call for a tank which, besides usually being of different dimen- sions from the regular tank, is of better quality even’ than what is known in the trade as a “high grade” tank, and such as we furnish as our “Standard Tank.” From the foregoing it is apparent that we should be informed if the tank wanted is to be built to conform with the new requirements of the Factory Mutual Companies, as otherwise we shall continue to supply our Standard Tank, until the Stock Companies get out a set of specifications of their own.

These towers are built on the same design as our Standard Tank Towers, and are of such weight and strength, and so well braced, as to insure thorough stability under all conditions, with due allowance for in Ita Ep SLewe. the strains put upon the structure by the swinging : J of the bell. The first cost is not much greater than a first-class wooden structure, and when it is considered that the life of the latter is only a few years at the most, whereas our steel tower will endure for a lifetime and requires no care or expense after once up, except an occasional coat of paint, it is obvious that the steel support is far more economical in the long run. Then with this tower there is never any danger of its falling down or blowing over, which is an assurance it is worth a good deal to have. ee ° 2 They are constructed in 12-foot sections and of the same heights as our other towers, as given on Page 25. We furnish them complete with platform at the top, which is octagonal ‘n shape, and for which a hand-rail is provided. A ladder is also supplied with all towers, as shown in cut. sO By We also generally supply an ornamental canopy or cover for the bell, with supports for same, but this can be omitted if customer prefers. The frame work for carrying the bell is never fure nished by us. Plans and specifications for the foundations are sent with every tower, and a plan for the erection of the tower and platform. As the structure is built in short sections, which are tide together by socket connections instead of being riveted, the erection can be done by a local mechanic. ~ We fit everything carefully in our shop, so that it will readily go together at des- tination. Prices, plans and specifications will be cheerfully sent to any one considering the erection of such a tower. We shall also be glad to give references from customers.

We erect these outfits complete in any part of the country. 26 W. E. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. PATENT SECTIONAL, ROUND COLUMN, STEEL TOWERS. This cut illustrates our 4-column Patent Steel Tower, which we build in sections, suitable to support Tanks of dimensions up to and in- cluding 20 feet in diameter and of 40,000 gallons capacity. These Towers are strong, durable, and attractive in appearance, and cost much less than steel or iron IMME co Towers of any other design, and, Near when Durability and Strength are considered, they are MUCH CHEAPER than any All-Wooden Structures. This style of Tower is used exten- sively in connection with Automatic Sprinkler Plants for protection against fire in mills, factories, and other large buildings, as whenever a large storage of water is kept on hand, elevated and ready for use, it greatly reduces the fire risk and consequently lessens the cost of insurance, They are also largely used by gardeners and florists for irrigation, and also for water sup- plies for small villages and private grounds. They are strong, durable, and neat in design, and, as they are built in short sections, and each section is set up independently and finished before beginning to set up the next section, thus making a scaffolding for each succeeding sec- tion, the work of erection is there- fore easily and cheaply executed. The iron joint connections are made on angles such as will fit the columns when cut off square on each end and inserted into sockets in the iron couplings. It is all strongly bound together with angle brace rods, as shown in the cut, and all rods are provided with turn buckles for securing proper tension. When desired, we furnish the iron work alone for these towers with a detailed plan and bill of material by fF which the customer may himself | supply the timbers that form a sup- i port for the tank at top of tower. ff!

At Orange City, lowa. JOHN E. ORR O & T P MAEROANTILE COLLEOTIONS, ANTHONY TE PASKE RR E ASKE, MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES, OFFICE AT PROBATE MATTERS, Oranee City, lowa, CCL SOL SAE @QENERAL PRAOTIOG. Sioux Center, lowa. 7 Orange City, Iowa, Feb. 7th, 1901, W. E. Caldwell Co., Louisville, Ky. : Dear Sirs:---About four years ago our City purchased from your Company an 87 foot Steel Water Tower and 65,000 gallon Tank which now forms a part of our City water system. On the second day of July, 1900, a cyclone unroofed our City Hall, hurling a large portion of the roof against the Steel Tower striking it at the second section from the bottom. The portion of the roof striking the Tower was smashed into kindling wood, a large timber about ten inches square being broken in two where it struck one of the tubular uprights. Nevertheless the Tower was not moved from its base in the least, nor thrown out of line in any way, the damage to it being but slight. The Tower is strongly constructed, pleasing in appearance, and the people here believe it to be the best one on the market. Very truly yours, E 2) Mayor, W. E. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. 81 ia ae RE WATER-WORKS. The adaptability of the elevated tank system for water works for villages and towns of a population of 25,000 and less, has long been recognized, and for this purpose there is nothing else equal to our Patent Sectional Steel Tower with either a Cypress or Steel Tank. Such an outfit makes a handsome appearance, will last indefinitely, and is certain to give the best of satisfaction, as hundreds of our customers will testify. We make a specialty of furnishing water works jobs, and are pleased to give any information in this connection desired by towns purposing to install complete water works, or outfits for fire protection only.

This Combined Wood and Iron Tower is designed so as to do away with the features that have always made a wooden tower so objectionable; that is, there are : no mortises and tenons to impair Hc the strength of the structure, nor LN any brace seats or openings to iia collect water. These have always AIL been the weak points in a wooden ding tower, especially the last named, oe as, of course, where the water could lodge in the sockets or brace seats it was a question of only a short time until the tim- ber would rot out and give way; and an elimination of these ob- jectionable features makes the durability of our Combined Wood and Iron Towers fully fifty per cent. greater. than that of any wood tower yet designed. Of course, with no notches or holes the surfaces of the tower are smooth and unbroken, and can therefore be kept thoroughly painted throughout. It will be seen that the tower is built on the same lines in gen- eral as our Sectional Steel Pipe Tower, the only difference being that wooden, instead of steel, col- umns and struts are used. The sway-bracing is of iron, the same as in our steel tower, and we em- ploy cast-iron connections to re- ceive the struts or longitudinal ties which bind the sections to- gether. We also retain another distinctive feature that has made our Sectional Steel Tower so suc- cessful, which is the short sec- tions in which it is built, which minimizes the cost of erection. The tower will be found in every way fully deserving of the claim we make for it. that it is as much superior to any wooden tower as our Standard Patented Steel Tow- ers are to the ordinary light iron or galvanized steel tow- ers, with scarcely no factor of safety, that are so often palmed off as first-class con- fH structions. -” M [Ss erg W.

CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. TESTIMONY OF VALUE... It is easy enough for a concern to assert and protest that the goods sold by it, are the very best of that particular kind that is or can be produced—that they are so far superior to those of their competitors as to make comparisons odious—to the latter—that they are, in a word, without flaw or defect or blemish of any kind, and such statements are only too common. But they carry very little weight with any one of even average intelligence, as the claims of one concern are worthy of just as much credence as any other. If, however, the manufacturer is able to show that nearly all of the best and biggest and most widely known firms in.the country have adopted and are using his goods, then he is furnishing you the strongest kind of evidence to establish his claims of superiority.

WE ALSO BUILD STEEL TANKS OF ALL SIZES AND KINDS PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. For the benefit of those concerns that prefer to build their own towers and are situated so they can do so advantageously, that is, buy the timbers required and have them framed for less than they would cost with freight added if pur-- chased from us, we would be glad to supply complete working plans and bills of material for either our special Wood and Iron Tower illustrated on page 32 or our All-Wood Tower illustrated on page 34. This will insure the design of the tower being not only correct (which is, of course, of the first and greatest importance), but incomparably superior to the old-style wooden tower with its defective features mentioned in the comparison made elsewhere between our special Wood and Iron tower and the old-style wooden tower. There is another advantage in using our plans, which is a certainty of having no surplus material in the construction. The ordinary run of carpen- ters and mechanics have not the technical knowledge necessary to enable them to correctly design a structure of this kind, and, in fact, are apt to lose sight of the great weight contained in a comparatively small volume of water, 5,000 gallons of which, for instance, weigh 40,000 pounds, or more than 20 tons, and 50,000 gallons more than 200 tons. And to be on the safe side they generally get twenty to twenty-five per cent. more material in the tower than is required by the best practice, thereby unnecessarily increasing the cost that much to the purchaser. So the cost of our plans is nearly always many times offset by the cost of material saved when the tower is built from our plans. Of course, in purchasing the complete tower of us, the customer is assured of getting the best material throughout, and material that is thoroughly fin- ished, all ready to go together, which naturally relieves him of all trouble and worry in this connection, a consideration of no little importance. We will also furnish the iron work only of these towers where desired, let- ting the customer supply his own timbers or woodwork. Where we do this we will make no charge for the plans and bills of material, EXPLANATORY. Prices are subject to change without notice. Terms are net cash, 30 days from date of shipment, unless otherwise specified. Where we erect either tanks or towers, final payment is due upon com- pletion of the work, or within not more than 15 days thereafter at the utmost. If customers do the erecting, we require payment to be made in the time agreed upon, whether the erection has been completed or not. Our responsibility for delivery ceases when we secure a signed bill of Jad- ing from the Transportation Company for goods received in good order. Customers must look to the R. R. Co. for any loss due to delay in delivery or damage sustained in transit. We are always glad to file claims for them when desired. Where we are ordered to duplicate lost or delayed shipments, we do so only on the condition that both original and duplicate shipments are paid for on the basis of our regular terms, No claims for repairs of any kind, or for the replacing of materials, will be allowed unless our consent is first obtained. Claims must be made within 15 days after the receipt of the goods. All Galvanized Steel Tanks that we ship set up, are carefully tested to see that they are water-tight before being shipped, and purchasers are cautioned to examine such tanks thoroughly before accepting them from the Railway Company, as we can not allow any charges for resoldering them, or repairing of any other kind. Wood Tanks are shipped knocked down and well crated; where requested, we send suggestions explaining how erection should be done. Receiving a tank or tower and setting it up constitutes an acceptance of it. We cannot accept the return of any goods, as all tanks, towers, etc, are made up especially for each order. When goods are ordered without details being specified, we will furnish what we think is suitable, and at our regular prevailing prices. 6 All contracts for the completion of work in a specified time are subject to fires, strikes, delays of Transportation Companies, breakage of machinery, accidents, or other causes beyond our control.
