Reinforced Concrete Sidewalk Lights
    To be able to meet all different conditions and to give our customers the best and most satisfactory form of illumination we maintain several gangs of experienced sidewalk men who are able to install any of our constructions in accordance with the high standards of this company. We guarantee that all work done under our direction or by our men will be satisfactory in every way. Detail of construction of factory-made reinforced concrete slabs
Detail of Construction of Factory-made Reinforced Concrete Slabs
    These men build our reinforced concrete work right on the job and every one of thousands of customers testify to the perfection of their work. Our reinforced concrete construction is the strongest and best proportioned of any type now made. Using 5/16 inch twisted square rods (where some others use ¼ inch) and properly proportioning the glass area and the cement to get the greatest amount of illumination consistent with the greatest strength has made our construction the most specified by architects and the most ordered by owners. No other reinforced concrete sidewalk installation is so popular because none is so satisfactory.
    Specify reinforced concrete sidewalk lights as installed by American 3-Way Prism Company and you will secure the most effective and the best construction of this type.

Reinforced Concrete Slabs

    For installations of small area or on work at too great a distance from source of supplies we recommend the use of our factory-made reinforced concrete slabs. We make these slabs complete, glazed and finished, ready to be set in place. Send us the blue print or the sketch of the opening to be filled and we will make up the slab of perfectly proportioned concrete, 1 7/8 inch thick and reinforced with 5/16 inch twisted rods run both ways between all rows of glass. For this we use any of the various styles of glass tiles as described on page 2 and shown by cuts, page 14. You can select and specify the one you want as determined by the use you want to make of your light.
Factory-made slabs ready for shipment

    If the opening to be filled requires more than one slab we supply the necessary T bars, cut to the proper length, for the supporting members. With the complete directions and the perfectly made and perfect fitting slabs we supply any ordinary workman can set the installation and caulk the joints; thus making a perfect job.

    For figures on the strength of these reinforced concrete slabs, read the extracts from the engineers' reports as given on the following page.
