WITH SPIRAL FLANGEE.
This Celebrated Lightning Conductor, owing to the
material of which it is made, and the manner of its
construction, is the complete protection against
disaster by lightning ever invented. This is cen
clusively shown by practical test Of over twenty
four years, during which time it has been in con-
slant use, being erected upon many thousands of
private and public buildings. in all sections of the
country and although there have fallen upon it, IL
numerous instances, most terrific discharges Of

them harmlessly to the earth, thus saving many
lives, and property of almost incalculable value.

has done all in his power to make his family and
