S. A. Three THE VALUE OF A MODERN STORE FRONT cannot be overestimated and no one realizes this more fully than the successful merchant. He recognizes facts and consequently knows that the buying public’s first impression, which is gained through observance of his Show Windows, determines the extent of his opportunities to present the merchandise he has to offer. He knows, moreover, that if the Show Windows are shabby and old-fashioned, regardless of the quality of wares displayed, the majority of customers, prompted by a natural regard for progressiveness, will seek elsewhere for their re- quirements. He maintains an efficient sales organization to dispose of merchandise of undisputed quality and safeguards his investment by providing the means through which customers are inclined to enter his establishment. Another feature not to be overlooked is the advertising value of a Modern Store Front. Modern Show Windows not only serve their purpose in creating a favorable impression, but also act as a perpetual advertisement at the lowest known cost therefor — simply the initial price of the material and installation. Furthermore, the merchant who advertises in the newspapers of his vicinity cannot afford to dampen the enthusiasm his advertisements might develop by introduc- ing prospective customers to antiquated Display Windows; therefore, a Modern Store Front investment, highly remunerative even as an attraction, also serves to enhance the results obtained from other forms of advertising. THE DESIGN OF A STORE FRONT, while dependent upon its size and location, is particularly determined by the nature of the articles to be displayed. Unless, therefore, the general arrange- ment fulfills the particular requirements, the Store Front fails to function efficiently and becomes, to a certain extent, a liability. Therefore, too much stress cannot be laid upon the advisability of expert assistance in the general design. FREE STORE FRONT PLANS will be gladly furnished upon receipt of the necessary infor- mation, which consists principally of a complete description of the kind and style of Front wanted, the purpose for which it is intended and all measurements possible. A rough pencil sketch, indicating the general arrangement desired, is invaluable to an intelligent interpretation of the requirements and should, by all means, accompany the information referred to above. We maintain for this purpose a service department composed of expert Store Front designers, de- tailers and estimators, whose special training and long experience in this line enable us to not only render efficient and economical service, but also to provide for our customers the last word in Modern Show Window Display. FULL SIZE DETAIL I)R A WINGS for a Modern Store Front Installation are absolutely indispensable from the standpoint of practical construction and consequently the absence thereof explains why so many store fronts, regardless of the quality of materials employed, are failures in some of their most essential respects. Accurate Full Size Detail Drawings, significant for their assurance of a perfect fit and ease and economy of erection, are prepared for every Store Front we furnish and a copy is mailed to the customer. Briefly, these Details are of inestimable value in the manufacture of a Modern Store Front and to the contractor in the erection thereof. More- over, since the total cost of a Store Front completely installed offers the only fair comparison of prices, these Details function supremely in bringing down the cost to the lowest possible level. INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION, a development of many years of experience, embodies in detail all that is practicable, durable and efficient in Modem Store Front Designing. It is practicable because the methods employed are feasible in every possible respect; it is durable because the various members are not only of lasting quality but are also sufficiently rigid to withstand all degrees of vibration and wind pressure; it is efficient because it is effectual in bring- ing about all desired results. Numerous other points of merit would be of considerable interest, but space permits to add only that, by reason of the above mentioned qualities alone. International Construction is a potent factor in the matter of economy and that simplicity, the keynote of architectural perfection, serves as a feature thereof. INTERNATIONAL STEEL 8s IRON CO. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, U. S. A. Page Four MODERN STORE FRONTS Design No. 2201 An illustration of a very impressive store front. Maximum show window space combined with an inviting entrance are the outstanding features of this design. Note the attractive art glass sign in the transom. A wide awake merchant realizes that the installation of this front would be a profit- able investment. A con- tractor knows it would be a permanent, shouting ad- vertisement for him. Design No. 2202 This design shows an ar- cade type of store front. This is a very desirable arrangement for a wide store. It offers wonderful display possibilities. The customers will receive sug- gestions as they pass be- tween the show-windows when entering and leaving the store. We can furnish this type of front in many different arrangements. Let our store front designers work out the proper pro- portions for your parti- cular job. INTERNATIONAL STEEL & IRON CO. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, U.S. A. Page Five Design No. 2203 -^nterriaA^na/^^, T^rvtce A very suitable design of show window for display- ing large articles. A large, roomy entrance is obtained by the use of the glass sidelights on either side of the door. This design shows sheet prism glass in the transom but this can be changed to Luxfer prism glass, double strength glass or polished plate. Like- wise, a tile, wood panel or sheet copper base can be substituted for the marble base shown. All designs in this book are suggestions only and can be changed to suit individual require- ments. Design No. 2204 A beautiful and attractive design for a medium sized store requiring roomy display windows. The metal awning cover shown between the plate glass and transom glass is very valuable for protecting a canvas awning. Design No. 2205 A modern and very suitable design for displaying shoes, drugs, cigars and other small articles that do not require large show windows. This arrangement offers maximum show window space for a narrow store. INTERNATIONAL STEEL 8t IRON CO. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, U. S. A. Page Six Q^n/^rna/ic?ia/ Semite DESIGN NO. 2206 DESIGN NO. 2207 PLAN NO. 2206 Design No. 2206 This excellent design offers an ideal arrangement for a two story building. By referring to the plan of this front it will be noted that the stair entrance is located behind the front show window. No valuable sidewalk frontage is lost by this arrangement. This plan is es- pecially desirable where the second floor is used for living apartments. Design No. 2208 Here we show one of our most popular designs, popular because there are hundreds of instances where this design is the most practical. The panelwork in the rear of show windows may be omitted if desired. This is a very practical and inexpensive store front.

All designs shown can be arranged to suit your ideas and requirements. Send measurements and rough sketch of the arrangement de- sired. Remember that we furnish store fronts COM- PLETE, thus assuring a perfect-fitting job. Design No. 2214 Wherever the cost of brick or concrete construction is too expensive we suggest the use of frame construction covered with galvanized steel. The above is a neat and attractive galvanized front. This construction is much more fireproof than ordinary frame construction. Send us measurements and we will prepare drawings free of charge. MARQUISES AND CANOPIES Marquise Design No. 2 Canopy Design No. 3 A marquise or a canopy, as shown above, would greatly improve the appearance of any building.

A. Pag* Nine o^nXernatwTia/^^i service MODERN PUBLIC GARAGES With the increasing mileage of good roads and the number of new automobiles sold each year, the future of the wide awake garage owner appears very bright. He realizes that the public is always inclined to patronize the most modern and up-to- date garage. Garages are required to house inflammable and explosive materials and for this reason fireproof materials should be used as much as possible. We will gladly render free engineering, drafting and estimating service on modern garages upon receipt of the necessary information. We have unequalled manufacturing facilities for the production of complete public garages; our service, deliveries and prices cannot be excelled. DESIGN No. 2251 Here is shown a very attractive and modern garage. The archi tectural lines of this building are very beautiful. Steel windows can be used in place of the wood windows shown. By referring to the sectional view below, it will be noted that the second floor is suspended from the steel roof trusses thus omitting the undesirable columns in the first story. The show windows offer wonderful display possibilities. Let us prepare a drawing of your individual requirements and show you how this type of building will appear on your lot. We also make drawings for remodeling old buildings into modern garages. A NY possible ar- rangement of steel supporting construction which may be desired will be gladly worked out in a practicable manner by our engineer- ing department, free of charge. We specialize in sub- stantial designing upon an economical basis, thereby eliminating any concern regarding the safety of the structure and also keeping the cost down to the lowest possible level. 8? HKe* Rii MCCT 4 r She I N case the hangers in second floor are not wanted, we can easily design and furnish at a reasonable cost steel girders of sufficient capacity to support the second floor without any columns or hangers. This arrangement, of course, would eliminate allobstructions in either floor and by reason thereof would be most desirable. Plans and quotations will be gladly furnished upon receipt of the nec- essary measurements. SECTIONAL VIEW— DESIGN NO. 2251 INTERNATIONAL STEEL & IRON CO EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, U. S. A. <$n&rna/wrial femxee r\R5T ‘ rLOOI^* PLAN ‘ DESIGN No. 2251 The above floor plans show a splendid layout for a modern garage. The office in the center of the sales room is very desirable. Another feature of this plan is the way the accessory department is separated from the balance of the sales room by means of the glass floor cases and the glass partition. This prevents the public from handling and carrying off small parts and accessories. The entire sales room can be safely managed by one person when this arrangement is used. Note the abundance of car display space and the I arge show windows. The high powered elevator will lift the cars to the second floor where they can be repaired or stored. These are only a few of the practical ideas of our garage architects and engineers. INTERNATIONAL STEEL 6s IRON CO. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA, U. S. A. Page Eleven STILE. I- OR WOO O WiNOOWJ SECTIONAL VIEW We offer this splendid plan for those who wish a modern living apartment on the second floor.
