J., and Chicago, Ill., and against the United States Electro-Galvanizing Co., of Brooklyn, N. Y., for a new process of Electro-Galvanizing. The Hanson & Van Winkle Co. took up this fight single handed some six years ago, and have conducted it at great expense, feeling confident of final success. This seems a particularly opportune time to call the attention of all those interested in galvanizing processes to the perfection to which"the Hanson & Van Winkle Company has brought this art, and to the fact that their salts and processes have now been authoritatively declared to be free and clear of infringement on this patent, which had heretofore been asserted to be all controlling. Whatever may be said of its validity as against others, as against the salts and processes of this company, the patent is of no effect. While the process of the Hanson & Van Winkle Company, as installed by their experts, is simple and inexpensive, their intention is to install at once in the larger cities, outfits in connection with their improved mechanical devices, in order to show prospective users the advantages of their methods.

Respectfully PUBLISHED BY The Sparkts-Withington Co., Ltd. “sicn.” : DAVID WILLIAMS COMPANY 14°16 Park Place * ® New York Saas i ee i BO Tm ay orp ore penne — THE IRON AGE : 15 | LEAK INSURANCE A New Proposition The principle of Accident, Death, Fire or Burglar Insurance is well under- stood, but how many mechanical men know all about ‘‘ Leak Insurance’’? THE “KEWANEE” UNION ZOOM SIA S 2 Ae > THE PAID-UP POLICY There are no Assessments The original purchase price of the *‘KEWANEE” Union covers all premiums and assessments for ‘‘ Leak Insurance.”’ The Brass to Iron Thread Connection insures against leaks — it prevents possibility of corrosion, and even after long service the union can be easily dis- connected and reconnected, for it never rusts together. The Brass to Iron Ball Joint Seat insures against leaks without the use of the objectionable gasket, making a tight seal even when the pipe is out of alignment. The simplicity and strength of design (there are only three parts) insures against loss of inserted brass pieces — there are .no parts to loosen or drop out and be lost. | Every “KEWANEE” UNION is‘tested with compressed air under water — therefore insured against leaks.
