SOMETHING NEW IN SCREENS. Some
customers object to the Adjustable Window
Screens because they break the view and
'double up" in the center. This difficulty has
been overcome by the introduction Of the
Patent Spring Adjustable Screens, which are
regulated by springs at the sides. These work
independent of the window. and can be adjusted
at any height without using weights or window
sticks.
