Resists Rust
In 1823, water mains constructed of boredout logs were installed in the streets of the little frontier town of Cincinnati. The logs were reinforced at the ends with old-fashioned iron bands like the one here pictured.
Excavations in the streets
of the modern city often
uncover these relics of early days.
The good serviceable con
dition of the iron bands invariably causes remark, so sharply is it contrasted with that of most of the products of modern furnaces after but a few years of service
Chemical analysis reveals the reason for this
striking difference. This iron is of remark
ably high purity. The Carbon content is
very low, and Sulphur, Copper and
Manganese are reduced almost to the
vanishing point. The iron con
tent is 99.83 per cent.

ng impurities are reduced immercially possible. It
9.84% pure iron. Every

Purity, Evenness and ays the qualities of Dur
able Iron. In these Armco Iron is the nearest approach to perfection.
Armco (American Ingot) Iron is the logical material for Roofs, Pipes, Tanks, Gutters, Stacks, Metal Lath, and all sorts of products and installations where sheet or plate metal has to meet the forces of corrosion.
Hundreds of progressive manufacturers of such products have adopted Armco Iron as the most effective business insurance.
