Excerpt from Handbook for Architects and Builders
The thirty-fifth volume of the Handbook for Architects and Builders is again presented to the architectural profession after a long period of suspension. We have produced the work in its usual high standard and no time, effort or expense has been spared to give the architect the information he requires in this daily practice.
The Handbook architects and builders covers a peculiarly exclusive field and is a recognized reference for everyone in the architectural field.
We have made but few changes from the general plan or arrangement that has proven satisfactory in former editions, although nearly all the study matter is new or has been brought up to date.
The new Chicago Building Code is published in this volume as passed by the City Council of Chicago and a detailed comprehensive index wherein all sections and chapters can be easily located.
The staff of contributors remains the same with the addition of John Jeffrey Davey, C. W. Berghorn, W. E. Fosket and P. W. Vandenberg, Wayne R. Fuller, Fred Morgan and Deane Perham.
We realize that notwithstanding the care and caution which has been exercised in editing and preparing this volume that inaccuracies may have found their way into this work and for such faults we ask our readers to forward to us their friendly criticism and constructive suggestions in order to improve succeeding editions.
The demand for the Handbook for Architects and Builders is constantly increasing and it has become almost indispensable to architects, engineers contractors, builders and those allied to the building industry.
The classified list of advertisers which appears on page 791 furnishes the architect with a list of those engaged in the manufacture and sale of materials and the contracting business. We have exercised our best judgement in the selection of those represented in our advertising pages.
To the advertisers we extend our appreciation for their patronage and bespeak for them an improved and successful future period.
