PAUL, MINN. % PREFACE ,TN presenting to the public another and enlarged edition of our Illus- | trated Catalogue, we can but refer, with justifiable pride as we ^ think, not only to the remarkable growth in population and pros- perity of the whole Northwest, especially to that of the twin cities, and to the evidence given by a few cuts herewith shown of the improve- ment in architectural taste and solidity of the buildings now being erected by our leading capitalists and business men, but also to the enlarged facilities by means of which we are better than ever before enabled to aid Capitalists, Architects and Building Contractors in carrying to a successful issue their plans for the erection of first-class Private Residences, Business Blocks, Public Buildings, etc. Since issuing our last Catalogue, the rapid increase in our busi- ness has compelled us to nearly double the floor surface occupied by us for our Architectural Sheet Metal business, to fully double our working force, as well as to procure special and greatly-improved tools, manu- factured in some instances especially for us and from our own designs, including the only Corrugating Machinery in the Northwest, and the only Steam Power employed in this business in this section of the country, to which, adding the fact of our many years of practical working experi- ence in this line, we feel assured that we are enabled to offer our old friends and 'customers, and the public generally, facilities fully equal, if not superior, to those of any similar establishment a home or abroad. Correspondence solicited, and estimates promptly furnished for work to be done in any part of the Northwest, in accordance with Architects’ Plans and Specifications. EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, Comer Sibley arid Sixth Streets, Saint Paul, Minn. EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, ST. PAUL, MINN. 5 REFERENCES.

We still recommend this well known and deservedly popular roofing of Tarred Pelt, Pitch and Gravel, to those seeking a cheap and durable covering for semi-flat surfaces, having a fall of anywhere from one-half (£) inch to one ( 1 ) inch to the foot. These roofs we are prepared to place on buildings anywhere in the Northwest, and can refer with confidence to hundreds of persons who have thoroughly tested them during the past sixteen years. These roofs we warrant five ( 5 ) years. AA rABKElN’S NATURAL ASPHALT ROOFING. I am the Sole Agent for this most excellent material, and the only party authorized by the patentees and refiners (The Warren Chemical and Manufacturing Company of Boston and New York) to lay this roof in St. Paul. This roof is composed of Asphalted Felt, instead of Tarred, as in the old Pitch and Gravel Roof, laid in and covered with Asphalt Roofing Cement and good clean gravel. The Asphalt referred to is a natural deposit principally found in and imported from Trinidad to this country, and should not be confounded with what is known as Artificial Asphalt; i. e., Coal Tar Pitch. Containing little or no volatile ingredients, a non-conductor of heat and cold, melting only at 200 degrees Fahrenheit, retaining always and under all circumstances its plastic qualities, it is believed to be the best and most durable material ever employed for this purpose. Its cost is nearly fifty per cent, greater than the old Pitch and Gravel Roof, but as we warrant it for ten years it is rapidly coming into favor and popularity with those whose build- ings are of such permanent character as to warrant them in procuring the very best and most durable roof, even though at a somewhat increased cost. The pitch of this roof should be about the same as the Pitch and Gravel, though a considerably steeper surface may safely be employed if for any reason desirable. 8 EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, ST.

PAUL, MINN. 9 DOUBLE CAP IRON ROOFING. An Iron Roof adapted to this climate should, in our judgment, have a pitch of three to five inches, certainly not less than three inches, to the foot. We form our own Roofing Iron from the best Box Annealed Iron, free of scale, so that it takes freely and retains the best quality of Iron Clad paint, with which we paint both sides of the iron — one coat before laying; then put on a finishing coat of tire same after the iron is on the roof. Our form “Double Cap” — the Cap being formed in and composing a part of each sheet, with the lock joint at the ends of sheets, the whole being secured to the roof hoards by the use of cleats (no nails or screws directly through the roofing proper) — affords the most thorough scope for expansion and contraction of any metal roofing in the market. We offer this style of Roofing Iron, formed and painted, delivered substantially crated on hoard cars here, all ready for laying; or we will, when desired, lay the roofing on buildings in any part of the country. Samples showing manner of construction and of attaching this roof to the building, promptly forwarded to any address on application. SLATE ROOFING. We are prepared to lay, in any section of the Northwest, any of the favorite and most durable varieties of Slate, either plain or fancy — Pennsylvania, Vermont purple, unfading green or red; also the celebrated Brown ville Maine Slate. We underlay with one ply of Tarred Pelt, and use Barbed Wire Nails for securing Slate to the roof boards, thus insuring the most perfect and durable Slate roof to be had. EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, ST. PAUL, MINN. 1 1 CORRUGATED IRON.

SCRIBNER'S FIRE PROOF DOORS AND SHUTTERS, JN bringing our Fire Proof Shutters before the public, it is unnecessary to make any remarks in regard to the vast importance of more thorough protection against fire. The great conflagrations that are con- stantly occurring throughout the country have made it a requirement by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, that all warehouses, etc.., shall be protected by Fire Proof Shutters, and a reduction in rates of insur- ance is made where they are used. Several years trial on hundreds of Stores, Mills, Warehouses, etc., throughout the Northwest, have proven that our Shutters are constructed on the right principle, and afford greater protection against fire than any others in the market. They are made of wood in two thicknesses, the grain running opposite ways to prevent warping, the wood filling being then covered with iron, which latter is painted inside and outside, and thoroughly riveted. The report of the “Committee on Construction of Buildings,” to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, at the Eleventh Annual Meeting, April 25th and 26th, 1877, (see page 97,) states that “a properly constructed wooden door, battened and completely metal clad, and properly hung, will resist fire much longer than the average iron door. This fact was completely demonstrated at the Tariffville (Conn.) and Boston fires some years since,” etc., etc. EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, ST. PAUL, MINN. i5 Illllllllllllllll EDWARD E. SCRIBNER, ST.
