have enabled to add to it's quality.
Quality and conformity to specifica-
tons have always been two objective
points of this company in it's dealings
with it's customers and the result may
be seen in the extent of it's territory,
which may be said to cover practical
ly the entire western half of the Unit
ed States, from the Canadian line to
the northern border of Mexico, from
the Pacific ocean to the Mississippi
river, and even farther may be found
cities and private corporations which
are using large amounts OF the
Tacoma company's pipe, furnished
on contract 1t is no idle dream to
be in line of business in which

goods have proven satisfactory"
The Washington Pipe & Foundry
It's pipe is of such quality and it's
customers are so numerous that 1t
may exhaust it's field by supplying 1t
with product which will not wear
out or need replacing for the next sew
eral generations.
For years the Tacoma concern has
been manufacturing machine-banded
stave pipe, and careful observation and
application have enabled it to make
the most perfect article on the market.
The life of this pipe is interminable.
Douglas or Washington fir, dressed
smooth on the insidefi has been proven
by extensive tests and experiments to
be the best for construction of wooden
pipe, combining as it does strength
and durability. The company's meth
cd of manufacture insures longer life
even than the specimens which were
referred to as having been used in
cities of this country and England,
where the green log was bored out and
left rough inside. These latter could
never5have been fairly dried or kiln
dried on account of the checking"
of the wood which would have oc-
Cured.
The company's machine-banded
stave pipe is protected with round,
galvanized steel rods, corrosion OF
which is prevented by the thorough
and complete galvanizing, and further

protected by the heavy and imperish-
able coating of asphalt and tar, much
heavier coating than will adhere to the
fiat surface of metal pipe. Besides
wooden pipe, the company also is
manufacturer of it's own castings, con-
nections, valves, gates, MIGRANTS and
similar apparatus. This casting bust
ness is no small feature in itself, as
the castings are all of the heaviest and
largest type. This Tacoma concern,
through it's extensive business
throughout the country, is one of Ia
coma's most loyal advertisers and
boosters.
Wherever any of it's products have
gone there has gone the name of Ia
coma as being the home of the COM
pany which turns out such material.
Many big contracts that are of note
have been handled by this plant.
Government experts in the reclama-
ton service are recommending the
company's pipe. All the pipe for the
big electric dredge Tacoma, now at
work on the Milwaukee holdings east
of the Puyallup river, was furnished
by the Washington Pipe & Foundry
Company.
Shipments have been and are being
made as far south as Mexico, to Col
orado, Texas, the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Nevada, Utah, Alaska, Montana, Idaho
and many other points. The company
will have fine display at the Nation
al Irrigation Congress, which meets at
Albuquerque, N. M, No feature in
facilities, machinery, equipment or
other features has been overlooked
by this company in developing its
immense plant It's extensive factor
les are supplied with the most i'm
proved machinery and appliances for
the manufacture of machine-banded
and continuous stave wood pipe of all
kinds and sizes, thus affording large
capacity and enabling the concern sue
cessfully to handle the largest con-
tracts. The location of the plant adj
mits readily of shipping via-rail or
water. The members of the company
are men of energy and are showing
it by their constant activity in ex-
tending the scope of their business

History may not record the exact
date that wooden pipes were first USED
as conduits for water. But few peo-
ple who drink of the clear, cold I'D
uid which has been carried for miles
and miles through this kind OF a
trunk line care whether the system
is as old as history or is one OF the
most recent inventions. However Ia
coma has one industry among the
many of which she may be proud,
which stands by itself and is plo-
neer in it's line on the Pacific Coast,

pany. located at 1912 to 1920 Center
street, and 3001 to 3019 Asotin street.
The business of this company is
the manufacture of machine-banded,

Wooden pipe has been used In one
