Conkling- Armstrong Terra Cotta Co. PHILADELPHIA 1914 OFFICE and WORKS: NEW YORK: NICETOWN, PHILADELPHIA 347 FIFTH AVENUE AVERY LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRINTERS PHILADELPHIA iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiniiiiiiiuiiioiiiiuiiiuiiiiiijiiui iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijf 1IIS book is not a Catalogue, but illustrates a small portion of the ornamental work we have executed during the twenty-eight years we have been in the terra cotta business. We have the moulds of some of this work, which would enable us to duplicate it at a small cost. Aside from this, we think the book will be ot value to Architects as suggestions. It is not essentially constructive in character, but some of the photos of Cornices, etc., and the drawn plates show construction. Terra Cotta possesses advantages over all other ma- terials, a few of which are: The facility and economy with which both con- structive and ornamental terra cotta can be executed. Its light weight and the ease by which it can be moulded to fit structural steel recommends it for projecting cornices, balconies, etc. It is especially adapted to reinforced concrete con- struction, as it can be readily made to fit any form, and can be securely anchored to same. Its fire resisting qualities, having undergone a greater heat in the kilns than it will get in the buildings. It will outlast any other material in the weather, as it is almost entirely impervious to moisture, and when glazed is absolutely so. The infinite variety of color obtainable, makes it possible to produce the most beautiful polychrome effects in an imperishable material.
