Think of it -- the average life of the ordinary skylight
is only about five years, even though it is painted and puttied every
year. The cost of upkeep equals the installation cost every four years.
With these facts before you, isn't it economy to install a skylight that will
last -- without any attention -- as long as the building stands, even
though the first cost is more? These are the two types of everlasting
skylights:
3 Way-Simplex
Reinforced Concrete
Made of heavy glass lenses 6 1/8" square, set in
double reinforced concrete. Can be installed in spans up to 12 feet
without transverse supporting beams. Gives great volume of daylight
because of this.
Shipped ready to set in place or in preformed slabs to be finished
on the job.
Unequaled for all-concrete and masonry buildings -- unaffected by
weather or fumes. For flat skylights, it has great value because
it is so strong that snow loads do not affect it. Can be walked on
in safety. Needs no protecting screen..

3 Way-Steelead

This time-tried product takes the place of all other forms of metal
construction. It has great strength -- is everlasting -- is easily
installed -- is weatherproof and needs no upkeep attention.
A steel "T" is completely covered with a seamless sheath of lead, protecting
it perfectly from action of weather or fumes of any kind. The glass is held
between lead contacts, making a weather-tight, puttyless joint. Easy and
simple to install -- needs no paint -- everlasting.
