 OUR PRICES ARE REASONABLE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 
 
 We make more screens than any other twenty concerns combinetl. We 
 nave the plant for doing the Inisiness, and doing it right. We make ten 
 good screens, with special and inqiroved machinery, while others are making 
 one inferior screen hy hand. The materials are honght hy us at from iliirty 
 to forty jier cent, less than regular prices. W'e have heen making screens 
 exclusively for twenty-two years, and are enahled to give onr customers the 
 advantages of the best inventions and a life study of th.e business. We sell 
 directly to the owners of houses, and thus save them a middle prolit.

A few advantages, with description, of 
 The Burrowes Standard Sliding Wire Window Screens. 
 
 n 
 
 V 
 
 
 
 Cut 
 
 Tliese screens slkle up and down on the mouldings so 
 tliat one screen answers for eitlier the upper or the lower 
 sash. They may he fitted to either the inside or outside of 
 windows, so as not to interfere witli blinds or shades. The 
 ■windt)w may be closed and fastened without removing the 
 screen. "Wlien necessary, the screen may be instantly 
 removed from tlie window by pressing a little to one side. 
 
 'I'lie springs are made of blued clock-spring steel, so 
 treated as to be entirely rust-proof, and cannot get out of 
 shape or out of order. Tliey vary in tliickness according 
 
 to weight of screen. AVe 
 guarantee tliat tliey will wear 
 and retain their elasticity as 
 loiiii as screens last. 
 
 May be used at Top 
 of Window. 
 
 It is often desirable to air 
 a room by opening a window 
 at top. Our screens answer 
 for the upper or lower sash, 
 as shown in cuts on opiiosite 
 page. In wet weather, when 
 screens are not needed, they 
 may be raised to top of win- 
 dows, and thus be out of the 
 
 of our Standard Sliding Screen, with 
 Mouldings on which it runs. 
 
 BOW OR CURVED SCREEN. 
 
 d 
 
 way. 
 
 'I'he screens slide easily, 
 like a sash, and are held up 
 by simple steel springs. When 
 uecessai'V to open or close 
 shutters, the .screen may be 
 raised a little. To wash win- 
 dows, remove the screen from 
 the window by pressing it to 
 one sidi‘. 
 
 The side mouldings, all 
 boreil with holes II, and fur- 
 nisheil with brads H, are sent 
 with each sciven, complete 
 and ready to attach to window 
 casings. 
 
 See Cuts, opposite page. 
 
I 111' .'iliovt' cuts show the screens on OKtsnJe of windows. Tliey can be 
 put on iitsidi- if desired, and arc much used in this way. We, lio^evei, 
 reconuuend outside screens, as tliey re(|uire less handline- and are much more, 
 convenient. 
 
 This cut shows manner of removiiio- screen from window by pressing a 
 little to one side. The cut below shows manner of attachino' sprin>is, si'recn 
 lifts and numbers. 
 
 Brass Screen Numbers. 
 
 ^\’e iiiimber all standard 
 ■v\’indow screens with brass 
 numbers (like cut), and we 
 also send duplicate numbers to 
 jiut on window-sills. This 
 system shows exactly in just 
 which window every screen 
 belongs, and every spline; 
 saves all trouble and vexation 
 caused by getting screens into 
 windows where they do not 
 fit or belong.

Burrowes Superior Wire Nettings. 
 
 J'he cuts on tliis page show tlie exact size of mesh and also exact size of 
 wire used in onr wire screen nettings. 
 
 OUR 14 MESH WIRE NETTING. 
 
 The 14 mesh netting (see 
 top cut ) is the size we use on 
 nine-tenths of our screens, and 
 is. in our opinion, line enougli 
 to exclude tlie smallest insects. 
 'I'his will, in all cases.be used 
 where no different mesh is 
 sjiecitied. Common store net- 
 tings are coarser. 
 
 OUR 12 MESH HEAVY WIRE NETTING. 
 
 The 14 mesh Black Enam- 
 elled Steel Netting is size and 
 kind used by us as a liasis for 
 all prices, and will be used on 
 all our windoM and door 
 .screens, unless some other 
 mesli and kind of our nettings 
 is specially ordered at extra 
 cost. 
 
 OUR 18 MESH WIRE NETTING. 
 
 I'he 12 mesh netting is 
 made of extra heavy wire and 
 is very stiff and strong, being 
 intended for doors that will 
 receive rough usage, and for 
 cellar and other screens in 
 exposed places. 
 
 The l.'S mesh netting is too 
 tine for general use, and is used 
 but little. exce[)t occasionally 
 in tlie extreme south in sec- 
 tions wliicli are infested with 
 very small insects. 
 
 'I'lie ;5 mesh netting is used 
 on cellar windows as guards 
 and to keep out vermin, also 
 for factoi'v window guards. 
 It is made of steel wire and is 
 gah anized after being woven. 
 It is also made in the Cop- 
 bronzi' tinish. This ff mesh 
 will never rust. 
 
 We also have other kinds of netting and heavy screens for factories, 
 churches, hospitals, and other buildings.

 'I'liev are made from very light wire and are uneveidy woven on light looms

 Putting up Screens. All window and door screens are put up in 
 the house at expense of purchaser. An average carpenter will put iiii from 
 twenty-five to thirty-five standard screens in a day. The screens are all 
 numbered, and we send Puli. Pkintkd Dikectioxs for putting up with each lot. 
 
 Everything is Furnished by us. The screens are sent all 
 finisheil and complete Avith siirings and lifts. Two mouldings, on which the 
 screen slides, are furnished Avith each screen. 'I'liese are tAvice the length 
 of the screen, and have holes bored for brads. Wire brads are sent 
 to attach mouldings to AvindoAv-casings. For door-screens Ave also furnish 
 all hardware and everything reipiired. We carefully jiack and box the 
 screens, for AA’hich Ave make no charge. 
 
 Flies Carriers of Contagion. Popular Science Ncavs, says 
 that investigation recently conducted has [iroA’cn that Hies carry the germs of 
 cholera, typhoid and other filth diseases. 
 
 (food Health, says that Dr. Alesses has discoA'cred that the germ of 
 consumption is often [iresent in the intestines of flies. 'I'liere is an evident 
 danger in association Avith Hies, hence it is important that they be kept out 
 of our homes and especially that they are not alloAved to crawl oA'cr our tood.
