Itlodern   Saaltntlon,

One of the handsomest house organs ot
its kind that has been brought to our at¬
tention is that issued by the Standard
Sanitary Manufacturing Company ot
Pittsburgh. Its cover design done in pur¬
ple, green and white is of a highly ar¬
tistic character and in this respeot re¬
flects the high quality of the goods manu¬
factured by this house. The publication
has such excellence that it is removed
from the 'Classification of a house organ
and should properly be placed in the
category of a special magazine. No ex¬
pense is spared in making the book typo¬
graphically perfect and it has a didactic
value in that it keeps architects and
builders in touch with new things being
turned out by this house. Application
for being placed on the mailing list should
be addressed to the company ait Pitts¬
burgh,

Kxpauded   Itlelnl    Conatt rue tion.

Bulletin Xo, 4 under this title has just
been issued by the North Western Ex¬
panded Metal Co,, of 37 Van Buren street,
Chicago. It contains interesting and con¬
vincing illustrations and data concerning
the use of expanded metal in buildings of
all kinds. The booklet is well worth
perusal by architects and Ixiilders, In
speaking of the condition in which metal
lath was found when the Rothchild build¬
ing in Chicago was razed, an editorial
says that this material had been in the
building over eight years and that tho
wrecking crew had considerable difhculty
In knocking the lath off the celling and
cutting the plaster from the lath. A pic¬
ture shows the removal of this lath and a
short description of its condition. Copies
may be obtained by addressing the com¬
pany at 37 Van Buren street, Chicago,

H,   W.   Johna-MauTllIe   Co,   Moves.

The executive offices and New York
showrooms of the H. W, Johns-Manville
Co,, manufacturers of asbestos, magnesia
aJid electrical supplies ave been moved
to the new twelve-story "H. W^. Johns-
Manville Building," Madison avenue and
41st street. New York City, from their old
quarters at 100 WiUiam street, where they
were located for the past 15 years.

This move marks the 541h anniversary
of the company. Under the name of "H,
W. Johns-Manufacturing Co.," the busi¬
ness was conducted at 87 Maiden Lane
previous to May 1st, 1S97, when it was
moved to 100 William street. In IMl the
flrm name was changed to "H. W, Jolins-
ManvlUe Company," a consolidation be¬
ing affected between the Manville Cover¬
ing Co., of Milwaukee, Wis,, and H, W.
Johns !\Ifg, Co, This last combination
brought together two of the largest man¬
ufacturers of pipe and boiler coverings,
packings, roofings, etc, in the world, and
the growth of the company since that
time   has   been   almost   phenomenal.

They now have factories located in
Brooklyn, N, Y., Milwaukee, Wis., West
Milwaukee, Wis,, Hartford, Conn,, Nashua,
N. H,, Lockport, N, Y,, and Newark, N.
J,, with an asphalt refinery at South Am¬
boy, N, J.: and extensive asbestos mines
at Danville in the Province of Quebec,
Canada, which are the largest in exist¬
ence and produce an exceptionally flne
grade of asbestos. They also have a
branch house in every eity of any size
ih the United States and Canada, as well
as representatives in about all foreign
countries.

In the new quarters, the company will
have the distinction of being one of the
few manufacturing con-cerns which oc¬
cupy an entire 12-story building in
its entirety. The company now occupies
over 2,657,160 square feet of floor space or
about 61 acres. The employees number
approximately 5,000 and there are about
