Lumber Company--New Plans

NIr.

rlVtry Wooden F. D. Ladders Are Best

\\'hen the fire commissioner of the citl' of Chicago insisted that ladders ordered for his department be of rvood, the mayor asked his reasons, u'hich he supplied as follorvs:

Firemen could be electrocuted if a metal ladder touched a live r+'ire.

\\'ood does not warp under intense heat, nor snap under extreme cold, as metal sometimes does.

If a wooden ladder burns the danger can be easily seen, w'hereas metal can buckle suddenlv and rvithout u'arning rvhen overheated.

Wooden ladders are easier to repair.

In cold u'eather firemen's gloves or bare skin freeze and stick to metal ladders if u'et.
