For Steel Brick or Stone Siding allow five square feet to the ' too for lap, etc., or send us the dimensions of the buildings, with size of all doors, windows, etc., and we will send the right amount. 2. In ordering roofing add one-eighth to surface or give amount of surface j to be covered, including all flashings. If we know size and shape of roof we can often serve you better and also furnish eave strip or counter flashing. 3. For window or door caps, or sills, give distance between drops of caps. 4. In ordering ceiling allow same for laps as in the case of Steel brick i Siding; or, better, give plan of ceiling with all sizes. 5. If building paper is wanted for either siding or roofing, specify the surface to be covered. 6. Seven-eighths or one inch barbed wire nails are the best for siding or roofing. It requires about a pound to a square of siding, and from one- fourth to one-half pound to a square of roofing. Galvanized nails should be used for galvanized siding. 7. It is of great advantage to have a pencil drawing of roof or building to be covered. 8. Special nails are used for ceiling. j 9. We sell all steel ceiling, siding, roofing, corrugated, etc., flat | measure. 10. Add about one-fifth to surface to be covered for corrugated, either size. I Terms. 1. Our terms are net cash in thirty days from date of invoice, or one per cent off for cash, if paid within ten days. Special terms for particular cases. 2. Bills not paid at maturity are subject to sight draft. 3. Orders from persons not known to us, and not having a good com- mercial rating, should be accompanied with cash or satisfactory reference. ! 4.

We frequently ship goods with draft and bill of lading, to be collected on delivery. 1 The Merits of Steel Brick Siding 3 1. It is more handsome than wood siding; also more durable. 2. It is less expensive than first class lap or drop siding. 3. It is lightning proof. A building covered with steel or iron cannot be injured by lightning. It is fireproof. 4. It does not cost half so much to paint. 5. Being pressed in longitudinal and transverse grooves, it never warps or draws the nails. 6. When made of galvanized steel it requires very little painting and will last a lifetime. 7. White lead paint is very much more durable than red mineral. No. 2. Grecian Pressed Brick Siding, Painted or Galvanized. Size of brick, 1V2X7V2 in. Sheets 4 or 8 ft. long. This pattern is not made by any other firm. We consider this No. 2 the finest and most perfect Brick Siding made. No. 3. Brick Siding. Painted or Galvanized. Size of brick, 2^x8V^ in. Sheets 4, 8 or 10 ft. long. 4 Directions for Putting on Steel Siding. (Building should first be sheated with ship lap or common boards.) 1. Begin at either top or bottom of building. 2. Next to ground put strip of galvanized steel to protect the painted steel from dampness. 3. The hollow or concave side of mortar line should be out and the ribs against the sheeting boards. The edge of sheet having the wide margin is the upper edge. Use seven-eighths barb roofing nails. 4. Press sheets down closely and nail in the grooves beginning at center of sheets and working towards sides and ends. 5. Window and door frames should be set in from face of wall from one to two inches the same as for brick buildings. The Steel Siding is then turned in to meet jambs and a piece of moulding is nailed in to cover joints. This is when six-inch studding is used. 6. Use corner strip No. 68 behind moulding. 7. When two-by-four studding is used, wood casing or No. 97 metal casing can be used. 8. Our new Steel window casing No. 97 and cap makes it easy to finish around doors and windows, making a very tight and neat looking job. Put board one by four or five inches behind the casing to make it solid. Cost of Covering With Galvanized Siding.

Cost of Brick Walls. 5 A solid brick wall eight inches thick costs $20.00 to $30.00 per hundred square feet, face measure. A 4-inch veneered brick wall costs for the veneering alone from 59.00 to Si 2.00 per square. A brick wall also requires a more expensive foundation than a lighter building. Roman Pressed Brick Siding. No. 6. Size of brick, l^^xii^ in. This pattern of brick siding is not made by any other firm. It looks much neater than the common form, lays flat to the building and is so pressed that it matches at ends, saving waste from lapping; sheets are 24 inches wide and 48 or 96 inches long. Made of painted or galvanized sheets. Fire-Proof Walls. — Asbestos Lining. Steel brick siding or veneering makes a good protection against fire when nailed to the sheathing boards, but if asbestos felt is put between the steel sid- ing and the sheathing boards the steel may be heated very hot and the build- ing will not burn. The use of asbestos paper under Steel Siding and Roofing has increased very rapidly in the last few years. It is absolutely fire proof, besides serving every purpose of common building paper. It reduces the rate of insurance and makes propert}’ much more secure from damage b)’ fire. Galvanized Steel Siding. We make our brick siding of galvanized sheets also, and in this form it is nearly everlasting, requiring very little attention, and may or may not be painted. Chipped Brick Siding* Painted or Galvanized. This is one of the best forms of Metal Siding. No. 4. Sheets 24 inches wide and 97 inches long. Chipped brick siding No. 4, as shown above, makes a very handsome front fora store building. Pilaster No. 37 or pilaster of some form made of No. 3 or 5 should be used to finish corners of buildings. Rou^h Dressed Stone Siding. Painted or Galvanized No. 5. Sheets 24 inches wide and 95 in. long. Stone siding No. 5 is used for fronts, as shown in No. 70; also for founda- tions and entire buildings. It is made of painted or galvanized sheets. It may be sanded while the paint is fresh and thus make a more perfect imitation of stone. The sand will also preserve the paint and the steel. Diamond Roofing* / No 8. Diamond Roofing. Directions (or Laying Diamond Roofing. 1. Begin at eaves and work upward. Use eave strip to start 2. Put first sheet in position at one of the lower corners of the root, the length of the sheet extending across the roof. 3. Put ends of cleat under upper fold of sheet, bend back and nail to roof boards. 4. The side of sheets having the grooves is the outside. 5. The next sheet above locks over this and is pounded down flat. 6. Lock end of sheets with tongs. 7. Cut triangle piece out of corner of sheets. 8. When roof is complete give it a good coat of paint Building Paper. We recommend the use of lining Papers under all roofing and siding as it is a non-conductor of heat, and makes a building cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It also prevents the steel from ever rusting on the under side. We are prepared to furnish building paper in small or large quantities at veryi low rates. Noisy Roofing. In parts of the west where high winds prevail, metal roofing is liable to rattle. To prevent this we first pass roofing sheets through a beading machine which makes them stiff so the roofing cannot rattle in the wind. If the beaded roofing is wanted always mention the fact in order. The Diamond Roofing and Metal Shingles will not rattle in the wind. 8 Ready Made Standing Seam Steel Roofing. No. g. Painted or Galvanized Steel. This roofing is made of the best steel, No. 27, same as our other forms. The side seams are turned in our factory, as shown at the right of figure above. It is much more easily put on than the roll roofing and is best for any roof ; having a pitch of one inch to the foot or over. \ How TO Lay. — This roofing is put on the same way as the standing seam described on page 9, except that the end locks are turned on the roof with folder which we send with each shipment. To lock ends of sheets cut in three quarters of an inch, as shown in cut above, and with folder turn a lock. Lock ends together and pound down tight. Start ne.xt course with piece of sheet and continue to lock on as above. We send tools which are charged 85 cents. On a gable roof cut the standing seam and bend sheet down on opposite side. When this is done it is not necessary to use a ridge cap. Put building paper of some kind under all metal roofing. It is not necessary for sheets to be the length of roof. 1 ! Gauges of Black and Galvanized Sheets. ^ i We make our painted Steel roofing of Gauge 27, weighing about 70 pounds i to the square. Galvanized roofing is made of Gauge 28, weighing 80 pounds I to the square, or Gauge 26, weighing go pounds to the square. This is net weight without the crating. Standing Seam Roll Roofing. 9 No. 7. Riveted Locks. Standing Seam Roll Roofing. This is the best form for a very flat roof, and will make a tight roof as flat as one-half inch to the foot, but we always recommend any roof to have a pitch of at least one inch to the foot if possible. The cap is formed on one side of the continuous sheet so it cannot become detached. We rivet the cross locks so that it is impossible for the ends of sheets to come apart, for which 7 cents a square extra is charged. Directions for Putting on Roll Roofing. To lay this roof, cut a piece from the roll long enough to reach the length of the roof and turn this upside down to form a cap, then with inch tongs turn a fold along the edge. Next turn the sheet right side up and with the same tongs turn the folded edge to a perpendicular position and the cap is formed. The other side is bent up to stand in the cap. Put cleats fifteen inches apart along perpendicular edge of sheet, nail them to sheathing boards and bend down over the upright edge, then press cap over same and bring cleat over cap and clamp tight with squeezers. See cut No. 9. Steel Roofing. A good steel roofing covered with best paint and repainted every two years will last an indefinite time. A painted steel roof must be protected on the under side with building paper to prevent it from sweating. When thus protected it will not rust on under side. But poor steel or iron painted with worthless paint cannot give any satisfaction. We use only best materials and build our trade on good goods and honorable dealings. We consider gauge 28, called “standard gauge” painted steel, too thin for roofing and use No. 27 entirely. A pure asphalt and linseed oil paint is the best for a flat metal roof. 10 Metal Shingles. No. 10. Galvanized Shingles. Showing Two Pieces Put Together, These shingles are easily put on, nakes a tight job, and can be used on a roof having quarter pitch or steeper. These shingles are pressed in sheets that cover one foot wide and are usually four feet long, but can be furnished in other lengths if desired. The method of laying the metal shingles is the same as that of the Diamond Roofing. Fine roofing for churches, residences and mansard shapes. Use eave strip for starting first course. Roofing Paint. A good roof paint must be free from acid, must adhere well to the metal, not be por- ous, that will not melt and run with heat or crack and peal in cold. Elaterite, which is a kindred mineral to Asphaltum and is mined in Colorado, possesses these qualities in a high degree. It is to our interest, as well as our cus- j tomers, to furnish the very best paint for | steel roofing and siding. This we do at a | very small margin of profit. Roof paint is ' shipped in quantities of three gallons up to i barrels. | Roof Cement we furnish in 5 lb. cans | and larger. Elaterite Roof Paint. Galvanum Paint. This paint is prepared especially to adhere to new galvanized work. Write for prices and full description. No. 6o. Riveted or Double Cross Lock. VVe make Galvanized Steel Roofing in all the forms given in this cata- logue, Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10. No. 7 is made with single and also with double cross locks. For long flat roofs we consider the double cross lock very neces- sary. A good galvanized roof carefully put on and cared for will last from 50 to 75 years. We believe a galvanized roof well put on is the best roof for the money in the market. Where double cross lock is not made we rivet the end locks. This is of great importance. V Crimp Roofing. No. II. Furnished with wood strips. Ends of sheets should be locked same as No 9. In lengths not over 8 ft. Brick Ties. These Ties are made of galvanized iron strips in. by 9 in., with ends corrugated. Their use is to hold brick walls together when the walls are built about 2 inches apart for air space. Samples and prices on application. Corrugated Roofing or Siding. Painted or Galvanized. No. 124. Curved Corrugated. We have excellent facilities for curving sheets in any shape desired. Our corrugated is rolled deeper than that furnished by the general trade and is therefor stiffer and better for roofing. No. 14. 2 % in. The corrugations are one-half inch deep and this makes a splendid roofing, f the pitch is three inches to the foot or more. Corrugated Steel. 13 No. 13. INXH CORRUGATIONS. Sheets 4, 5, 8 and 10 feet long. Other lengths cut to order, Either size, corrugated, loses about 15 feet in 100 in side and end laps We make our painted corrugated of No. 27, best steel. Flxperience has proved that No. 28 is too thin for durability. Galvanized corrugated is either gauge 26 or 28. We have just recently installed two fine new corrugating machines that make perfect corrugations. Rid^e Roll. M No. 15 Ridge Roll Cap. Hip Roll. I >4 in. Roll. 2 in. Roll. ize of Roll. Sheet. Apron.

The eave of a metal roofing is the first to give out, for the last drippings of water hang on and keep it wet. Put eave strip on first, and lock ends of roof- ing sheets into same, as shown in cut above. We make this strip of galvanized iron and the cost is very little. Skylii^hts. 15 We make skylights of any size or shape — using best galvanized for frame and inch rough glass, making patent drain to carry off the condensed mois- ture on under side of glass. Give size and style desired and we will furnish a close estimate. No. 59.

Embossed Combination Pattern. Above cut shows section 6 ft. square, composed of Nos. 104 and 105. Many other combinations can be made with same numbers. Send us size and drawing of room and we will suggest design and pattern. In case width of room does not divide even by two feet after cornice is taken out, a strip of filler is used between the cornice and body of ceiling Patterns 117, 24 and 25 are used for this purpose. The plates in above pattern are trimmed in square shears after being stamped, making them easier to put on and a much better job. 24 Embossed Steel Ceilings. No. Ii8. Showing corner of room, with No. 20 body, No. 132 moulding. No. 24 filler and No. 137 cornice. Directions for Putting on Steel Ceilings. In general there are four kinds of ceiling on which the steel is or may be applied. First — New work, in which case the wood strips are nailed direct to the joist six inches apart. Second — Plastered ceiling, in which case the strips can be put either six or twelve inches apart. Third — Solid wood ceiling or sheeting boards in which case no strip need be used. Fourth — Plastered side walls. If strips are put on over the plastered side walls it will bring the steel out too far for the casings. Therefore cut out the plaster and lath every six or twelve inches and put the wood strips in these places, then nail the steel ceiling to the wood strips. Embossed Steel Ceilings. 25 No. 109 The above cut shows section of ceiling 8x8 ft. compos- ed of plates 24x24 in. This pattern is made up with any cornice or molding desired. Directions for Putting on Steel Ceilin^--Continued. Scaffolding — For long rooms it is better to make scaffolding to reach the entire length o f room. Put celling on in courses reaching the length of room; otherwise the ceiling will not come out straight. Consult plan of ceiling, which we send with invoice. Locate the body of the ceiling, ob- serving the distance it will be from each side of wall, then go across each end of room and make marks every six inches, starting so that every 24-inch mark will come under seam of ceiling plates. Next make chalk line marks the entire length of room holding the ends of chalk line on the points named above. This process will enable the workmen to get ceiling on perfectly straight, also make much quicker work putting on the wood strips. Wood ceiling strips furnished by us are 1 x 1 ^ inches and 8 feet long. Do not strip the whole ceiling before commencing to put on the steel, but follow the strip- ping up pretty close with the steel. As a general thing it is better to put the body of ceiling on first, then the cornice mold, and last the filler or moldings, etc,, that go between the body of ceiling and cornice. In all our stamped ceilings there are sunk buttons every six inches along sides of plates for the nail- ing places. 26 Embossed Steel Ceilings. and No. 134 cornice. Directions for Putting on steel Ceilin^--Continued. We furnish an oval head barb wire nail one inch long which we have made for the special purpose of putting on steel ceilings. All the plates of our high grade ceilings have the edges trimmed after bein^ stamped, making it much easier to do a good job. In case of cheaper ceilings, not trimmed, it is better for the workmen to trim two edges with tinner’s snips. When the ceiling is not level, as it often happens, small pieces of wood should be put under the wood strips at the proper places to make ceiling level. The lapping edges of the plates should be tapped down slightl}' with riveting hammer or blunt iron. We make solid miters for comice mold when ordered, or send a miter pattern, which will enable the workmen to make a neat job at corners. I'sually no ceiling cornice is put across front of building, as there is not room. The painting of a metal ceiling has a great deal to do withits appearance. Any paint that is'good for inside wood work is all right for steel. Embossed Steel Ceilings. 27 No. 107. Composed of plate No. 104, rope mould No. 132 and cornice mould No. 134.

Stone and brick walls are of little use in stopping the progress ■of a fire if they have unprotected windows and doors. We make an im- proved form of this shutter, mak- ing one side of round corruga- tions and the oth- er side of square corrugations. This makes the shutter more rigid and straight. Shutter Brick. j ^ No 123. PAINTED OR GALVANIZED.- j This form of shutter is made of two thicknesses of corrugated steel sheets and lined with I asbestos felt between. It is well braced and bound and has hinges and fastenings complete. I Send size of opening and number of shutters wanted and we will give a close estimate. Iron j brick with eye is used in brick wall to attach' shutters. We also make shutters in one piece I and furnish with hangers and track same as used for barn doors. 56 Cast Iron Columns, Galvanized Pilasters No. 64. Cast Iron Col- ums, any size.

Guides for the platform and also for the weight are shipped with elevator. In fact, everything except the timbers which support the gear- ing, which is better furnished where elevator is put up. Drawings are sent with each machine showing how guides, etc., are to be placed. Style No. 99 is made in sizes up to about 6x9 ft. platform; style 100 up to 7x12 ft. platform. This latter style is intended especially for wagons and carriages. When ask- ing for prices give style, size of platform and height of lift. These three things are needed in order to make prices. No. 71. Steel Covered Residence. Builders have been accustomed for such a long time to the use of wood siding for residences that they are naturally a little slow to use a new cov- ering. The excessive price of lumber at present urges property owners to seek other materials. It is easy to prove to any one that galvanized brick siding is much cheaper than wood, more durable, a better protection against cold weather .and does not cost more than half as much to t-p painted.
