Acme Cement Plaster
“NATURE’S PERFECT PLASTERING MATERIAL.”
It is not an artificial compound, but perfect in its natural state, requiring only calcining to prepare it for use. No acids,
chemicals, hair, fibre or ingredients of any kind used in its manufacture, requires only the addition of sand in its applica-
tion to the wall. More simple in
application, uniform, reliable, durable, sti onger, cheaper and ,eqnires less labor than any
plastering material ever produc d. Most perfect fire-proof plastering material on the market. 30,000 tons used in the
United States in 1891, (1 ton Acme will cover same
surface as 3 tons of the patent materials that are furnished to the
trade mixed with sand.) Nearly 2,000 tons used on World’s Fair buildings at Chicago.

NORRIS PATENT SASH PULLEY.
FOR RIBBON, ROPE OR CHAIN.
Strongest and Handsomest Pulley lade.
OUR
PULLEYS, you can readily see, a/'e the only Pulleys made that do not depend
upon the screws to hold them in the frame. The pin for the wheel is back of the
bevel or lower end of the Pulley, which causes the weight of both sash and
weights to pull
back—therefore, the more weight the more firmly the Pulley imbeds itself in the frame.
Our Pulleys are made in over 1600 different qualities. They are made with gun metal
pins, phosphor bronze pins, steel pins, bronze metal face, bronze metal wheel, bronze metal
face and wheel. We make a special groove for chain, which causes the chain to wea
twice as long. We also make a special groove for ribbon.
Our self-lubricating Pulleys, if used a life-time, will always b» anti-filctiovi.
We make a specialty of
finishing our Pulleys to match the new finish of hardware now
so extensively used, such as old statuary bronze, electro bronze and old copper bronze.
We make our Pulleys plain or engraved face, and of bronze metal, or any finish desired.
Architects, and builders generally, concede the Norris Pulley to be the best Pulley In
the world.
There are many millions in use. They have been and are used in the finest building*
in the country.
All our Pulleys are numbered, so please order by number, as the number designate*
size and quality.
Architects wishing a catalogue and samples will please write us, and we will send same
free of cost.
Norris Pulley can be had of any hardware house in the country, or address
