DARING WORKMEN
Awning Rem0vers Take Greater Risks
Than DO Steeplejacks.

Steeplejacks have long enjoyed q
reputation for daring, but 1t Ia ques-
ton whether they come i'm the same
class OF riskers as the awning remov-
ers, who take down the "sunshades'

climb to places and do their work in

ner.
Starting at the street level, two Oh
three awning removers will strip the
entire front of fiat house and never
90 indoors. They are as agile as ac-
robats. They reach up To d window
sill and then raise themselves to the
window ledge. Finishing the window
while standing on this ledge, they
seize the top stone of the window, pull
themselves up to it and from there
reach again to the window ledge
above so as to strip another window.
Through the belt they wear runs a
line, and with this they lower the
awnings as they take them down.
How they can do their work with so
little to hang on to is more remark
able than the tasks performed by the
structural ironworkers. The iron
worker, If he slips, has something at
hand in the way of a beam around
which he has a chance to lock his
arms. The awning remover, when he
slips, falls outward from the ledge and
has nothing to clutch. Three awning
removers on one occasion stripped a
seven story fiat of seyenty-five win
dows in the Bronx in the remarkable
time OF three hours, all from the out
side-New York Sun.
