"H. TICE, PRACTICAL STAIR BUILDER, Cor. Preston and Pierce Sts., One Door South of Oil Mill, East Dallas, Tex. Directions Necessary for Ordering Stairs and Stair Railings-When a flight of Stairs is wanted, give the height of story from floor to floor of joist in second story, width and run of stairs, the size of the cylinder, style of base used in the hall, with rough sketch showing about the shape of the stairs wanted. FOR STAIR RAILING, Straight Flight-Give the width of rise and step as sawed out on string board, the number of risers, the size of the cylinder from face to face of string or face board, which way it turns a head of stairs, and the number of feet of straight rail required at landing. Unless we receive plan showing otherwise, we always suppose the top riser for a straight flight of stairs to be placed at the edge or spring of cylinder. FOR CIRCULAR OR WINDING STAIRS-We should have an exact plan of stairs as built, giving the width of rise and step, he [sic] location of riser in cylinder, etc.; and when they are straight steps below or above cylinder. References-The best Architects in the city."
