[Illustration: WROUGHT IRON BEAMS & GIRDERS]
THE UNION IRON MILLS, Pittsburgh, Pa., Manufacturers of improved
wrought iron Beams and Girders (patented).
The great fall which has taken place in the prices of Iron, and
especially in Beams used in the construction of FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS,
induces us to call the special attention of Engineers, Architects, and
Builders to the undoubted advantages of now erecting Fire Proof
structures; and by reference to pages 52 & 54 of our Book of Sections--
which will be sent on application to those contemplating the erection
of fire proof buildings--THE COST CAN BE ACCURATELY CALCULATED, the
cost of Insurance avoided, and the serious losses and interruption to
business caused by fire; these and like considerations fully justify
any additional first cost. It is believed, that were owners fully
aware of the small difference which now exists between the use of Wood
and Iron, that in many cases the latter would be adopted.
We shall be pleased to furnish estimates for all the Beams complete,
for any specific structure, so that the difference in cost may at once
be ascertained. Address
