Forty=Second Street, PHILADELPHIA, PENNA. TELtPHONE-634 M Dear Sir:—We respectfully submit to your consideration the enclosed designs of Wrought Iron Manufactured by us, which will give you a general idea of the classes of Ornamental Iron Work of which we make specialties We especially recommend our Wrought Steel Hand Hails (41 and 31 inches wide) for Bridge Railings, Cemetery Enclosures, and Stairways (see pages 1 and 11). It is very handsome and durable, and promises to supersede the Pipe or Pickets on all Railings, etc., where ornamen¬ tation or durability is desired. Hoping that our Catalogue may prove of service to you, and that we may heat 5 from you with orders, we are Yours very truly, MANLY & COOPER MF'G CO. AVERY U?PARY~ C'i-.A UNIVERSITY PURPOSE OF THE CATALOGUE. We have endeavored in this catalogue to collect a quantity of suggestive material into a small space. The cuts give only the essential features of the designs, and modifications of all kinds are easily made. It will be found that railing patterns will answer for window guards or grilles, and vice versa. There are quantities of regular designs which lack of space prevents us from inserting; many of them have been photographed, and in the course of correspondence in regard to special orders, we will gladly send these photographs, illustrative of the work in question. NEW WORK. SKETCHES. In wrought iron new patterns can be executed as cheaply as old ones, and we especially invite our customers to send us suggestions and modifications as well as original sketches. In all such cases we will strive to catch the artistic spirit of the work and execute it accordingly. GENERAL REMARKS ON IRON RAILINGS. To make a thoroughly good job all railings must be made up especially for the place they are to occupy. All the grades and inequalities must be allowed for. As a consequence, railing cannot be carried in stock, but must be “started at the beginning” after we have full information and measurements. A long experience has convinced us that the only true way to make a railing is by “ plugging.” The metal of the horizontal bars is thus driven into that of the verticals, and nothing can be more secure. Such a fence, if painted occasionally, is imperishable. No railing made up loosely so as to be adjustable to grade, or one depending for its strength on clamps or ornaments, can be serviceable. Any work made by us from correct and sufficient data will be found to fit and can be easily and readily set. CARE OF IRON RAILING. The only care needed to insure our railings, and to keep them in perfect order, is to go over the line every few years and ram the earth solidly around the posts and ground bases. Frequent painting is highly desirable, and a small quantity of paint will cover a long line of railing. STONE COPING is an expensive luxury. We have perfected our system of ground bases to such a degree that we do not hesitate to advise planting the railing in the ground. The amountthpt .wo'uU be paid for coping can be far better spent in securing a stronger and more ornamental railing. CHARACTER OF ORNAMENTS. Wherever possible, railing ornaments should be vrotlf/ht iron instead of cast. A very hasty examination will convince anyone that ornaments in either malleable or gray castings will get loose or break, and that once broken they cannot be replaced except'at great expense-and nothing is so unsightly as a railing with broken pickets or displaced ornaments. We are making great advances in the substitution of forged ornaments for those of cast iron. II Besides durability, much finer and more artistic effects are secured in wrought iron. We are constantly adding to our list of forged ornaments and use them in place of castings. DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING RAILING. Draw a diagram giving the plan of the lot. Indicate the position of the gates. Begin at the middle of a gate and measure to the line of the property (that is, to the outside, of the corner or end post). Measure and state the grades accurately, giving the total fall from the high to the low points and the total distance between those points. State clearly which cast iron posts are wanted and how many. Order by the numbers only. Do not mutilate the catalogue. Appropriate gates are made for each railing, and on account of the greatly irtcreased cost of making them, they are charged at twice the price of the fence per foot. Directions for ordering Window Guards, see page 7. Directions for ordering cresting, see page 19. GALVANIZING. Almost all the work shown in this catalogue can be galvanized. The treatment is a great preventive of rust and as a coating is excellent. The cost of the treatment on railings depends on the weight of the work, and we are ready to quote prices on any design, including galvanizing. To make paint hold to galvanized iron it is necessary to give it one coat of red lead. WIRE WORK. We are prepared to quote prices on any style of wire work. The size of the wire is determined by the Birmingham Gauge (see Gauge in our price list), and the mesh is described by the measure in inches of the dis¬ tance between two parallel wires. CEMETERY WORK. We have shown a cut (on page 30) giving some of the favorite styles of Galvanized Pipe Railings and. Fittings. We handle them constantly, but strongly recommend the use of light galvanized Wrought Iron Railings for Cemetery Enclosures. FINALLY, we would call attention to our large and well-fitted factory and force of experienced workmen, and would solicit trial orders, which we are confident will lead to the opening of regular trade. PROPERTY OWNERS WIPE FIND IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE MANUFACTURERS. Special Attention Given to Orders for Export. Ill 3 To Engineers and Architects. |E have perfected, after years of labor and at a great cost, a ROLLED and DRAWN STEEL HAND RAIL, which is beyond competition. It is finely moulded, smooth, straight, and in thirty feet lengths. Our first patented Hand Rail was ordered by Joseph M. Wilson, Esq., in 1872, for the great Cincinnati and Newport Bridge, and subsequently the same style was used by Captain Eads for the celebrated St. Louis Steel Bridge. In its |)l BSGIlt improved form, in OnB piece, it has been used upon all the bridges built in Philadelphia by our City Engineer, and on all eroded by the Pennsylvania Railroad, as well as on every bridge and pier of any importance in the country. It received the highest Award of Merit, Medal, and Diploma at the Centennial Exhibition, and has no equal foi strength, beauty, or durability. It has been approved and used by most of our greatest Engineers and Architects and has given satisfaction. The Rail being rolled in long lengths enables us to cover all joints in the panels, to civet a continuous line of Railing, and also to dispense with all cast iron or intermediate posts, thereby lessening the load on the bridge and giving additional strength. We have erected five thousand feet of Railing in one stretch for the Pennsylvania (Elevated ) Railroad in Philadelphia, and only used Newel posts at the end for a finish. Our Rail was adopted and used for the great Cleveland Viaduft- SmithficM Street Bridge, Pittsburgh; Polk Street, Centre and Chicago Avenue Viadufls, Chicago; Broadway and Blakemore Street Bridges Boston- the Great New York and Brooklyn Bridge; The Coney Island, Long Branch, Rockaway, and Brighton Piers, and on the principal bridges in the cities of New York, Chicago, Boston, New Haven, and St. Louis; also on man) highwav bridge, and buildings i throughout the country. In connection with this Hand-Rail we have manufactured complete the Railings, &c., on all the above-named bridges and piers. Our experience and complete equipment of machinery enable us to offer first-class Railing work at a very reasonable cost. The Hand Rail forms the entire Top Cord when used, and the Moulded Base forms the Bottom Cord, and to these the intermediate work is easily attached. SS-'We have a large Assortment of Designs of Railings, Crestings, dec., which will be furnished upon application. Catalogues and Photographs of Bridge Bailings, with our WROUGHT STEEL HANDRAIL, furnished upon application.
