LARGE, SMALL
CASTINGS MADE
BY LOCAL FIRM
Complete Service Offered
by City Foundry and
Pattern Works.

Complete casting service, with
gray iron foundry, brass and alum
mum foundry and pattern shop, is
maintained by the c. 81 G. Foun-
dry & Pattern Works.
The gray iron foundry, Twenty
fifth and Yandes streets, is equipped
to manufacture castings, from the
smallest up to $4,000 pounds. This
plant has several large cranes and
other equipment necessary to pro-
duce high-grade iron castings.
Large and small aluminium cast
ings of intricate design are made
daily at the aluminium and brass
foundry, 1926 Kentucky avenue. In
Guided are many complicated core
jobs. The brass plant makes all
types of yellow and red brass and
bronze castings, and can provide the
proper metal for individual require
ments.
The pattern department makes
the c. 81 G. service a complete
source of supply for the casting
buyer, relieving him of the need to
have patterns made and then shop
for foundry to make the castings.
Special requirements are taken
care of daily at the G. & G. plants.
An important factor in keeping
the plants busy and steadily in
creasing, has been the policy of Civ
ing careful attention to small jobs
and giving a service a little more
prompt and exacting than the GUS
toner might expect.

ROOF
OF HOME SAVES
OWNER MONEY
Deterioration Prevented by
Prompt Attention in
Early Spring.

Prompt attention to damaged
roofs in the early spring months
will prevent deterioration and save
house owners money. Joseph E.
Mattingly, president of the Henry
Smithers Roofing Company, 430
South Meridian street, said today.
Keeping a building well rooted
is not an expense, but an invest
ment, bringing returns in protec-
ton and resale value" he added.
There was time when the roof
was looked upon as nothing more
than a shelter from the elements,
but today it is regarded as one of
the first essentials of good archi-
tectural style. The roof of home
seldom escapes critical observation,
the Importance of making it at
tractive being quite apparent"
The Smithers company is pre-
pared to roof homes, industrial,
commercial and public buildings OF
any size, architecture and require
ments. Many roofs laid by the
company thirty-five years ago still
bear witness to the fine quality of
workmanship and materials of the
company.
The Smithers company applies
built-up asphalt, rag and asbestos
felt roofs and asphalt and asbestos
shingle roofs on a large scale on
new and old buildings. The asphalt
and asbestos shingle roofs are par
ticularly adaptable to residences.
For the more pretentious homes and
public buildings, slate and tile roofs
are quite popular.
Asbestos, made of rock fibreS, will
Withstand flame and high tempera-
ture, it is entirely immune to CHI
matte or atmospheric conditions
which will destroy a sheet of iron.
This makes it practically ideal as
a roofing material.

cowpuncher, the sophistication of a
globe-trotter, the polish of stage star
and the voice of a professional singer
all mixed in with a good reputation.
