deals in articles that are absolutely
indispensable, viz: sewer and hue
pipes, fire brick, lime, cement, also
chimney tops, drain tie, vases, FIRE
clay, hair and plaster. Mr.. Graham's
long experience in handling this line
ofgoods has enabled him to fill orders

ticular mention should be made of his
stock Of aue Innings, which for safety
and durability cannot be surpassed.
A chimney, as ordinarily constructed,
has on the inside a thin coating Of
lime mortar to make it smooth in a
few years the action of the heat and
gases from the coal causes the mortar
lining and the mortar in the Joints TO
disintegrate and fall of, especially
when the SCOT in the chimney burns,
then there remains a small opening in
the brick work through which there
is always a draft, aud the heat from
the chimney passes through this hole
and sets FIRE to the adjacent wood
work. This is the origin OF FIRE from
a defective fiue, from which cause Is
per cent Of our fires occur. Very few
first class houses, either public or
private, are now built without FIRE
clay hue Innings, either round or rec
tangular, for each smoke iue in the
chimneys, thus effectually protecting
the buildings against fires, which so
frequently originate from defective
hues. These hue Innings are also very
generally used for hot air Aues instead
Of tin, for conducting the heat from
furnaces to the several. rooms in the
house, being much superior tin for
this purpose, as they are not liable to
rust out or communicate FIRE TO the
contiguous wood work through which
they pass All the prominent insur-
ance companies recognize the addi-
tional safety against FIRE secured by
the use Of these hue Innings, by insur-
ing buildings thus protected at cheap
er rates than they otherwise would.
