The protection of this remarkable bridge is entrusted to National Lead Company s Red Lead, the best paint for structural steel or any other metal work. ~SSle welcome inquiries on all subjects involving protective coatings.

At every flush- ing the water is delivered, not at atmos- pheric pressure, but at the full pressure of the water system. Tank is made of cold drawn steel and tested to 400 pounds per square inch. THE UNIQUE is absolutely guaranteed not to leak. Clogging is impossible, as no dirt can collect in the tank. FEATURES ^° c °mPncatetl parts to uet out of orde No inlet valve Xo waste of water /^^^tIIo^^ c Noiseless in refilling f UiTIQXI^ No hammering in pipes Delivers each flush at full pressure of the water system The Automatic Unique exactly fills a long felt want of the architect for a perfectly constructed automatic closet lor public places. The principle on which it is construc- ted is so simple that it cannot possibly get out of order or refuse to flush, for an actuating finger attached to the rear of the seat is so centered that it must work the valve when the seat is released and allowed automatically to rise. You immediately get a powerful flush from the tank, which is always ready with all the pressure of the water system. STAPLES VALVE CO., Newburgh, N.

With this machinery they are able to furnish large blocks or monoliths weighing 50 tons and upwards, and execute orders of any magnitude on the shortest possible notice. One of the leading fea- tures of the business methods of the Benvenue Granite Co. is "quick deliveries."

XXVII The Standard of Quality for Steel Ceilings TN everj kind of building material there is al- * ways one brand which Architects consider to be the Standard of Quality. In Steel Ceilings. Walls and Tiling the Archi- tects' Standard of Quality is NO-CO-DO Quality, which never varies. WE manufacture the three NO-CO-DO Steel Products 'Ceilings. Walls and Tiling), in hundreds of Stock Des gns. suitable for use with any style of Decoration, in any kind , size or shape room and in anykind of a building— old or new — from a Cottage to a Cathedral. Original designs to order no charge for Sketches or Working Drawings. Any responsible Contractor or Builder may handle the erection and decoration— or, if pre- ferred, our own Contract Department will handle all details complete, on one contract, and under a guarantee of absolute satisfaction. Being Manu- facturers, primarily, not Dealers or Contractors, it is naturally advisable for us to handle all the details; and for the same reason, it is also the cheaper way in the end. laloi r ff r\ P Pioneer Metal Ceiling Mfrs.
