[STAND 101.] Hall and HaIl are well known in the trade for their " HaIlite " productions, and their stand is decorated with the numerous and varied types of washer made in their special " Hallite " material.

It makes a clean joint, which withstands heat well, and retains its water or air-tiglftness indefinitely, while, when the joint is broken, the " Hallite " comes away without the scraping which is necessary with so many jointing materials. Its general use can be appreciated from an inspection.
