I
Make me an offer on about 180 feet of 3 inch and 380
feet of 2 1-2 inch second hand water pipe in the Cot-
ton yard in West, part near entrance and balance at
' end near old grove. Good for drainage or low pressure
purposes. Persons who removed several hundred feet
of similar pipe from these premises without authority,
from me will do well to return same immediately.

Steele Pipe Industry
Very few people realize the
varied applications of the pro-
saic steel or iron pipe. It has
been used for many years as a
conduit for water, sewerage
steam or gas, but at the pre-
sent time pipe enters into the people,
construction of such varied pro-
ducts as agricultural implements
automobiles architectural iron
work and grill work, building
columns, refrigerating machi-
nery, dry-kiln aparatus, eleva-
tor cars, wheelbarrows, work
benches, ornamental gates, ele-
vator grain spouts, safety lad-
ders, warship masts, lightning
and high tension poles, electric
wiring, railway signal aparatus,
sprinkler systems and signal
tower.
As the variety of uses for
tubular products increased and
the cost of making steel dim-
inished, there has been a change
also in material. Fifty-years
ago nearly all the screw joint
pipe was made of wrought iron.
