Ay To The Top
# A Solid Work Platform
Non-Stop towers are built from heavy gauge tubular steel and trussed every 4-6 in height. This gives our 16" wide somers incredible strength and sway-resistance. Because of this advantage, you can safely land materials on the laborers' platform, exactly where other systems tell you to never land a load. In actual on-the-job tests of free-standing Non-Stop towers, landing a full cube of 12 blocks (2350 pounds) on the laborers platform at 20 feet high produced a backward flex of less than one inch! This kind of strength and stability means your men will feel safe and secure on a sold working platform. And, you can safely stock ahead so free your forklift for other duties.
# X-Braces Stay In Place
The x-braces are always in place for maximam salfety and stability. They simply pass through the work platform both going up and coming down. Non-Stop introduced this unique design to eliminate the dangerous, time-consursing chore of removing and replacing x-braces as the platform is raised. When the wallis topped out, Non-Stop can be lowered and ready to go to work again in one thind the time of scaffolding without this feature. This advantage reduces your laborers duties to only two fording materials to the masens, and raising the scaffold as needed.

NEA and NCA Alliance
AN AGREEMENT of affiliation has been signed between the National Erectors Association and the National Contractors Association "to pool their collective resources." The new alliance, according to NCA chairman John Werner, "will make full use of both associations' greatest assets and strengths, while maintaining their own individual, unique relationships with organized labor."
NEA president Jack Geer commented. "This alliance is a major breakthrough in promoting the union construction industry by combining both associations' cost effective programs for labor relations, safety and health and membership education."

Martini, second vice president; Ozzie Wirsching, third vice president: Tiberio Mascarin, secretary-treasurer; Dick Kappeler, immediate past president.

In conjunction with the meeting, the associate members presented an informative table top show of their products and services, following a well attended luncheon.

SVERDRUP CORPORATION, St. Louis, Missouri, architects, designed the St. Peters City Centre, St. Peters, Missouri. Representing one of the newest and fastest growing communities in Missouri, the city fathers wanted a city center that imparted both a sense of permanence and was forward looking in its approach. "Brick helped us convey permanence and stability, as well as progressiveness," commented Charles L. Weaver, Sverdrup's senior project director. "The building symbolizes St. Peters itself-the starting point of a strong, new tradition." General contractor was Sverdrup's Building Division. Mason contractor was Grant Bricklaying Company, St. Louis, Missouri. Photo by Tony Carosella (Sverdrup), courtesy of Brick Institute of America
