the modern home gives a most pleasing
combination of grace, beauty, dignity
and strength.
Ill This old pirate treasure
chest, probably made
in Holland or Spain
about 1650, and buried
for two and a half
centuries, shows the
sturdy wrought iron
untouched by time.
Ill Wrought iron gates
erected 1795 at Christ
Church, Philadelphia.
Their beauty and dig¬
nity is as marked to¬
day as when installed.
Ill
Architects and builders are turning more
and more to wrought iron for the expres¬
sion of lasting beauty and for pleasing
grace of design coupled with age-long
durability.
Artistry in wrought iron comes only with
experience, and it is this experienced
craftsmanship, plus modern manufactur¬
ing methods and equipment, that makes
Gate City ornamental wrought iron so
satisfactory to architect, builder and
owner.
Only a few of our many installations can
be shown in this catalog. Most of them
are from our own designs, others from
architects' and customers' suggestions
and sketches. Our ornamental wrought
iron work is made from copper-bearing
steel to insure longer life from rust and
corrosion. Many finishes are available,
from natural iron and old bronze to col¬
orful polychrome.
Send us your sketches and specifications
for estimating, or ask for our sugges¬
tions. When referring to designs shown
here, please specify design number.

"If I could have but one piece of ornamental hand-wrought iron in my home, it would be a stair rail," says one home builder.
"The individuality of its de¬ sign; the grace and beauty of its hand craftsmanship; and the dignity of its appearance would make it a constant joy to those who dwell therein, and a pleasant memory to all who come as guests."
Stair rails shown on these two pages show the interest¬ ing effects obtained from the combination o f ornamental iron with wood stairs.

CHAIN-LINK PROTECTION FENCE
Since 1883, Page Woven Wire Fence has been giving low-cost, high-quality protection to homes, manufacturers, public and private institutions. Page—the first manufacturer of wire fencing—is still first in quality, service and long life.
Today, Page offers you the most modern chain link protection fence in four long-wearing, weather- resisting metals — copper-bearing steel; Armco Ingot iron; Alcoa Aluminum; and Allegheny stain¬ less steel. Each has its own field of usefulness.
Both the copper-bearing steel and the Armco Ingot iron are galvanized after weaving. The Page spe¬ cial process deposits more than twice the weight of zinc than by former methods and is guaranteed to withstand twelve one-minute dips by the Preece test. Former fabrics would withstand less than one-half this number of dips.
Page fabric has the exclusive flat weave which pro¬ vides a natural bearing surface at each of the bends. This results in a fabric which can be stretched more securely without distortion. Avail¬ able in 2-inch mesh in No. 6, No. 9 and No. 11 gauge wire.
Page offers you the choice of three post designs— tubular—H-Beam—Wing Channel; with a choice of designs including: OTR with top rail, OW with¬ out top rail, 3TR top rail and three barbed strands on inclined arm, 3W no top rail and three barbed strands.
All Page posts and fittings receive the same heavy galvanizing as the fabric, giving you uniform pro¬ tection from rust for the entire fence construction.
Write for complete catalog on Page Wire Fences,
and suggestions and prices for your need.

PROJECTED SIDEWALL WINDOWS
Where neat design and economy are the keynote of the construc¬ tion, architects will appreciate the quality, appearance, performance and low cost of these windows. The projected feature is especially valuable when ventilation depends upon the natural clearing off of vapor, smoke and stale air. The tilted ventilator acts as a deflector of the elements and can be kept open in all kinds of weather. Direct drafts are elim¬ inated and a continuous change of air is obtained. Easily cleaned from the inside.
Because of the similarity between the appearance of the Commer¬ cial Projected and Pivoted Windows, the Projected Windows can be used in the office section of an industrial plant with complete con¬ formity to the general design.
Economical screening is a special feature of this type window.
NOTE Masonry opening dimensions shown
at left are appli¬ cable to all Com¬
mercial Projected Windows. Venti¬
lators are limited in size to 4-light
and 6-light.
