o r ^OU th e proposition is a simple one. You intend to build and you need hard­ ware.

H ardw are is a very necessary part of

any building.

It m ust be so m ade that it will

stand the wear and tea r of daily use.

If it

com bines beauty with the needed utility so m uch the better.

S a rg e n t’s Easy Spring Locks are

strongly m ade.

T he Easy Spring red uces the

friction, saves w ear and tear, prolongs the life of the lock.

S a rg e n t’s E asy Spring Locks give

satisfaction. T h e re is beauty in S arg en t’s A rtistic H a rd ­ ware.

No m atter what the style of architecture,

we have designs th at will c o n fo rm ; designs which are artistic and useful a s well.
