WROUGHT IRON
_Beams and Girders_
THE UNION IRON MILLS, Pittsburgh, Pa., Manufacturers of improved wrought iron Beams and Girders (patented).
The great fall which has taken place in the prices of Iron and especially in Beams used in the construction of FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS, induces us to call the special attention of Engineers, Architects, and Builders to the undoubted advantages of now erecting Fire Proof structures; and by reference to pages 52 & 54 of our Book of Sections--which will be sent on application to those contemplating the erection of fire proof buildings--THE COST CAN BE ACCURATELY CALCULATED, the cost of Insurance avoided, and the serious losses and interruption to business caused by fire; these and like considerations fully justify any additional first cost. It is believed, that were owners fully aware of the small difference which now exists between the use of Wood and Iron, that in many cases the latter would be adopted. We shall be pleased to furnish estimates for all the Beams complete, for any specific structure, so that the difference in cost may at once be ascertained. Address

RELIEF PLATES IN HARD TYPE METAL, FOR PRINTING ALL KINDS OF PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS IN BOOKS, NEWSPAPERS, AND CATALOGUES.
These plates are an excellent substitute for woodcuts, being used in precisely the same way, giving equally good results for much less money.
ELECTROTYPES AND STEREOTYPES are made from them in the usual manner. We offer special advantages to MANUFACTURERS AND INVENTORS, as our mechanical work is of the best quality and rapidly executed. Our plates are used satisfactorily in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN and the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT, and by Manufacturers and Publishers in all parts of the country.
"COPY"
We work direct only from Prints or properly prepared Pen and Ink Drawings. Any other copy may be furnished, such as Photographs, Pencil Sketches, or the articles themselves, in which cases we have drawings made in the best manner by our own trained draughtsmen. Photographs, taken in the ordinary way, are suitable, and they may be of any size. We make the plates larger or smaller, as desired. We are glad to have customers prepare their own Pen Drawings, and append one or two,
DIRECTIONS TO ARTISTS:
The most important requisite in Drawings for our use is that every line shall be _perfectly black._ The paper or drawing board must be _white_ and _smooth_. For fine work drawings should be made double the scale of the plate desired. Carefully observing these main points, the artist has the utmost freedom in his choice of styles of drawing. For further information and fine samples of our work, send stamp for current number of our illustrated _Quarterly Circular_.

MUNN & CO.'S PATENT OFFICES.
THE OLDEST AGENCY FOR ELICITING PATENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
_THIRTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE._
MORE PATENTS have been secured through this agency, at home and abroad, than through any other in the world.
They employ as their assistants a corps of the most experienced men as examiners, specification writers, and draughtsmen, that can be found, many of whom have been selected from the ranks of the Patent Office.
SIXTY THOUSAND inventors have availed themselves of Munn & Co.'s services in examining their inventions and procuring their patents.
MUNN & CO., in connection with the publication of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, continue to examine inventions, confer with inventors, prepare drawings, specifications, and assignments, attend to filing applications in the Patent Office, paying the Government fees, and watch each case, step by step, while pending before the examiner. This is done through their branch office, corner F and 7th Sts., Washington. They also prepare and file caveats, procure design patents, trade marks, and re-issues, attend to rejected cases (prepared by the inventor or other attorneys), procure copyrights, attend to interferences, give written opinions on matters of infringement, furnish copies of patent business, both in this and in foreign countries.
A special notice IS made in the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN of all inventions patented through this agency, with the name and residence of the patentee. Patents are often sold, in part or whole, to persons attracted to the invention by such notice.
Patents obtained in Canada, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, the British Colonies, and all other countries where patents are granted, at prices greatly reduced from former rates. Send for pamphlet pertaining specially to foreign patents, which states the cost, time granted, and the requirements for each country.
COPIES OF PATENTS.
Persons desiring any patent issued from 1836 to November 26, 1867, can be supplied with official copies at reasonable cost, the price depending upon the extent of drawings and length of specifications.
Any patent issued since November 27, 1867, at which time the Patent Office commenced printing the drawings and specifications, may be had by remitting to this office $1.
A copy of the claims of any patent issued since 1638 will be furnished for $1.
When ordering copies, please remit for the same as as above, and state name of patentee, title of invention, and date of patent.
A pamphlet, containing full directions for obtaining United States patents, sent free.
