MASON CITY BEATS US TO 1T.
With Sand
avement.

AQOptS ram SCR' w II1 SdTO
Wearing Surface avement.
Mason City has .iarshalltoWn
to economical street pa lg in the vote
of its council to lay concrete paving
according to specifications as follows.
A fve-inch base. mixed one part ce-
ment, TWO parts sand. and five parts
Two inches thick, mixed one part .e-
ment to TWO parts sand Expansion
joints filed with asphalt paving pitch
will be placed along the curling and at
an angle Of forty-ffve degrees With
the curbing every fifty feet apart. The
top will be corrugated into blocks 4la
x9 inches This concrete paving will
use Mason City cement and will cost
s1.35 per square yard.
Ii should be noticed that the above
pavement is little different from the &C.
ment crossings now being laid in Mar
shalltown at s1.35 per square yard.
The base is the same in thickness, but
uses only one-eighth part cement while
4 our crossings have one-fourth cement
4 in their base. The wearing surface is
! half an inch thicker than on our cross
! ings, but not so rich in cement, being
one TO two whereas we use one to one
/ and half
Granitoid uses a base five and half
inches thick instead of FIVE, and of the
proportions as the Mason City base
with a wearing surface only ~ inches
thick but of the same richness as our
crossing mixture: the crushed granite
being used in place of sand The Gary
Ind. specifications provide that con-
tractors must pay all royalties for use
Of any patents on granitoid.
A concrete contractor, at the T.-R.' s
request, has figured out the net cost
of labor and material in a concrete
pavement laid exactly according to
our cement crossings specifications, to
be SO cents per square yard. Any price
above this would be the contractors
profit and insurance against loss in
collection or litigation.
At Grinnell property owners have pc
titioned for bitulithic paving. This
Is another form of concrete PAWN s
with a patented wearing surface. 1t
has the usual concrete base and the
owners of the patent on the mixture
of asphalt and tar used on top have
already filed with the city clerk OF
Grinnell an assignment OF the right fol-
any contractor to use their bitulithie
top course at s1.45 per square yard
two inches thick, delivered hot in con.
tractors wagons at the car in Grin
nell. If their patented paving is speci-
fed, contractors will have to pay to the
patentees more for their speciality o.
a wearing surface than Mason City
will pay for her entire paving. The
trick in the trade is to get a specially
of some kind for a wearing surface
which will command a fancy price ant
get away from plain concrete, which
any first class contractor can lay ant
Which would receive sharp competition
in the bidding.

The Great Majestic.

It cannot be disputed that char
coal iron as made years ago is more
durable than the iron which is
made by the new process. The ma
kers of the Majestic steel ranges
have taken this into consideration,
and they are making the bodies Of
their steel ranges of charcoal, ).
which by test has proven to resist
rust 5000 percent better than steel.
This is something to be taken in
to consideration, since the body of
the range practically determines its
lease of life. Malleable iron is alb
solutely necessary for perfectly air.
tight joints, for it is non-breakable
and can be cold riveted. The ma.
jestic range is made of malleable
iron, and it's joints are therefore
rivted perfectly air-tight. With a
Majestic mallcahle and charcoal iron
range, where all parts are so rivet.
ed, they can't come loose. This
means that your repair and fuel
bill will be small, and that the life
of this range will be three or four
times longer than that of any other
range. Consider these points tho
roly. and remember that the cheap
est is not always the least expen-
sive.
You may think it strange, but
there is only one range which stands
every test on this earth; Majestic
it's name, over earth it's won
fame, and its's known for it's royal
good worth"
MAKE change, and try this
range
