| UTILITY. |
The Baker Patent Safety Sidewalk Lights contain all the
elements that science and experience have found necessary in the
production of a perfect pavement light. These lights are the
product of years of careful experiment and scientific study of
the conditions to which sidewalk lights must be subjected.
Every possible contingency has been provided for and every
possible advantage has been developed. The result is a sidewalk
which more than any other combines the elements of perfect safety
and perfect lighting.

FINISHED SIDEWALK AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
| |
CONSTRUC-
TION. |
Our sidewalk is water-tight and is a safety light, leaving a smooth
surface pleasant and easy for the pedestrian, with all danger of
slipping entirely removed. One of a city's great dangers is
smooth sidewalks, which become slippery when wet, and are
productive of many a fall with attendant expensive damage suits.
In some instances this danger is overcome by a series of iron
pegs, but these speedily wear down perfectly smooth and are quite
as dangerous as other smooth surfaces, while they are extremely
unpleasant and difficult to walk upon. We overcame this by
having a rim of lead cast around each piece of glass, making a
sure foothold under all conditions, and at the same time
constituting a permanent safeguard against slipping. The lead
is cast between the glass and the cement, making it impossible
to wear it off. This method of setting prevents the edges of the
glass from clipping or breaking.
|
| DURABILITY. |
This construction obviously insures permanency, where clipping
or breaking is made impossible by this system of protection;
the sidewalk is indestructible and must literally wear out
before it can be destroyed. Being made of the best materials
the life of our sidewalk is practically endless.
