Rockport Granite Paving Blocks

The improved specification GRANITE PAVING BLOCK creates favorable comment from all citizens.

The taxpayer is pleased that his money is invested in a road that will be comparatively free from expense for a generation.

The horse owner and the horse lover are pleased with a pavement that gives the horse a sure footing.

Heavy traffic is pleased with a pavement that furnishes a foothold for the horse and a firm traction for the truck.

The nerves of the traffic police and chauffeurs are eased with the knowledge that on a GRANITE PAVEMENT the auto comes to a dead stop with no danger of skidding on another vehicle or pedestrian.

The Power That Pays

During 1914, more than 40,000 additional horse power in electric motors were added to the service mains of the Brooklyn Edison Company-an increase of 20 per cent over any preceding year in the Company's history.

Among the enterprises of national reputation who adopted Brooklyn Edison Power during 1914 were the following:

American Manufacturing Company 7,000 H.P.
Austin Nichols & Company . . . .
E. W. Bliss....

American Tobacco Company

R. G. Dun... .

1,000 H.P.

1,000 H.P.

400 H.P.

250 H.P.

These concerns found, as have thousands of other Brooklyn merchants and manufacturers, that Edison Power Pays because it is superior in every respect to private plant generation.

Should you contemplate any changes or additions to your power equipment communicate with the Edison Company and there will be placed at your disposal a corps of experienced power engineers who will gratuitously offer their services in the solution of your power problem.

ROEBLING

Wire Rope

T

HE name Roebling suggests itself at

once when wire rope is mentioned to an experienced user.

This is due to the fact that the first wire rope used in America was a Roebling rope; that, since this rope was made more than 70 years ago, the manufacture of Roebling wire rope has been continued without interruption, and that during all this time Roebling wire rope has been the choice of discriminating buyers for every purpose for which wire rope is used.
