New Sashless \Tindow

An "all-glass" window now manufactured in the heart of California's Redwlod Region, consists of a redwood frame and no hardware, except an ingenious pull-latch which locks the n,indorv closed or part open. Metal shortages can have very little effect on its manu{acture. It is manufactured by the Ernest Pierson Company, Eureka, California.

The "Pierson 20-20 Windou," rvas designed by a California home builder who, after five years and some 3000 installations in California's lvet northern belt, has started manufacturing the window. It comes in seven fabricatecl redwood pieces, ready to nail together right into the wall f raming, and eliminates sashes, putty and weights. It comes in one size, for the present,4'-0" x3'-U'. Two panes of glass are used, rvith one of them sliding standard size, 26" x36", 3/l(t" crystal, to be obtained from any glazier (not included with fabricated rvindow). Glass panes lift out for cleaning.

The "picture height" window is intended for use, singly or grouped like rvindo.iv wal1s, in one-story, California style home design. It provides easy furniture arrangement, with maximum light and privacv. The knockdown pieces are packed in a metal-taped bundle, for easy shipping ancl stofage.
