the other folks did in bracing the

| didn't know then that Jorss'
ironwork was in that particular
theater, and | hadn't had my
aerial conversation with the Wash
ington Monument elevator man.
These two instances seemed to go
long way toward answering the
oft-reiterated question: WI hats
in a name" In this case the reply
might be 'everything," at least
It's not so much the name as what
the name stands for.
| mentioned while ago that
Mr.. orss had gathered about him
the most skilled workmen obtains
able. This is but natural, as he
himself received the most thor
ough schooling in his trade. and
is in personal immediate touch
with every department of his bust
ness. He only demands that the
men under him be able to do,
mechanically. what he himself is
able to do. Mr.. Jorss was born in
Hamburg, Germany, in 1903, and
learned the ironworkers' trade I'm
his native city. He learned it.
too, in the usual COMPREHENSIVE
thorough fashion common to Ger
mans, but, not content with that,
he studied drawing and designing
for several years in the famous
Hamburg technical trade school.
He came to this county in 1891,
and in 1892 started in business in
a comparatively small shop oppo-
site the present 18th street estab-
lishment OF the Jorss firm. Since
that time the business has grown
rapidly and steadily, requiring en-
largement of quarters, and finally
removal to the present commodi-
Gus 18th street building, and the
opening OF the structural depart
ment on New York avenue.

day, i'll journeying up the monu-
ment shaft, the elevator baked

there was room.
THE INVESTIGATOR.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-22

looked up "Jorss." And this is
what | found:
a. +. Jorss, 5I5-I5-17 18th
street northwest. structural and
ornamental iron work, etc"
Then and there, being OF an in
quisitive disposition, | made a
resolution that the first day that
came along bltst with two or three
or half-a-dozen idle hours | would
make pilgrimage to the estab-
lishment OF Jorss. When a man
can feel secure and at ease 400
feet up in the air merely because

wire steel that hold the heavy car
in which he rides came from a
certain shop, then I'm the candy
kid that wants to see that par
ticular shop. That's me.
SO went to the sign of Jorss.
| found it not very different from
the ordinary establishments of its
kind, save perhaps a bit buster,
but | didn't want to miss any
thing, and | went through it, in
these two or three idle hours at
my disposal, from the ground

Jorss name the enviable place it
holds among those who are con-
versant with his particular branch
of the manufacture of iron and
steel.
To the casual visitor, such as |,
the shops on 18th street, where
the ornamental ironwork is
turned out, is rather more inter
esting than the New York avenue
place of business, where the struc-
tural work is done. But the lat
ter is not the least important OF
the two. And, for that matter,
there is something marvellous in
the creation from plans and blue
prints of the framework OF a great
building. complete in every detail,
from the greatest steel beam to
the smallest rivet, each part ad-
iusted theoretically and mathe-
matically, SO as to insure upon
erection a nicely OF actual con-
structive uniformity.
T'other night was talking with
the manager of local theater
and remark he made at the time
comes back to me now with added
significance, particularly in its
bearing upon the comment of the
elevator man upon the orss
cables. The manager was speak
ing about a certain show that is
soon to be produced, and re-
marked that he wished it were on
his circuit and were coming to his
theater. He then told me about
the play and dwelt at particular
length on the fact that its greatest
drawing card was the presence on
the stage for an entire actin an
East Indian scene, it may be said
of two elephants, not of the
manufactured stage variety, but
the real thing. And having read
at various times about theatrical
catastrophes wherein large. kind
faced elephants put stages, and
sometimes theaters, out OF bust
ness by reason of weight and not
disposition, | was disposed to
question the possibility of repro
ducing the show i'll question at
my friends's theater, even were
it on his circuit. But he took me
up in minute.
Say said he, "this theater
was built right You could drive
a flock OF elephants across our
stage without making the fixtures
rattle. Ii that show which came
to town a year or two ago IN
which a real locomotive furnished

You don't look worried, said I.
Not bit said he.

for | was mighty anxious to feel
better, and so were the other folks
in the stalled elevator-and they
were all listening-to the tenn
porary exclusion OF their fear-to
this dialogue between the eleva-
tor man and me.
Oh said he, they're just the
longest and strongest and best
elevator cables that ever were
made since the world began
That might all be true | ar
gued, but"
and | forgot to mention, y
added the elevator man in a tone
of absolute fnality, that they
were furnished by Jorss."
L didn't say any more. l
couldn't. | am frank to say l
didn't know who Jorss was, ex-
cept that the name had a strange
" familiar sound, but the eleva-
tor mans last remark had been
made in such a ''you-knoW-who-
he-is-of-cOurse" tone that ] Just
couldn't confess my ignorance.
And the other folks in the quies-
cent elevator must have felt the
same way about it, for the asked
no questions either.

this in mind, | was prepared when
| asked Mr.. Jorss to tell me some
of the sorts and kinds of iron
work that he could do, for his
reply.
Everything in Iron.
"Anything,' was what he said.
And then, probably noting from
my bewildered expression that |
was dreaming OF Eitfel towers and
Brooklyn bridges, and the Lord
only knows what other engineer
ing and structural problems, he
smilingly shook his head bit and
enumerated for the enlightenment
.of my ignorance Some OF the
routine construction work turned
out by his firm every day. The
list embraces iron stairways and
elevator fronts, columns, folding
gates and entrance gates, porches,
ratings and fences. And last, but
not least, in sentimental value at
any rate. balconies of every de-
scription. each one, | dare say, a
