Book 3 — Metal Floor Corners

Reading edition

Covered corner
Covered corner

The hardest part of a room or stairway to clean is the corners, and these always collect a good quantity of dirt. Instead of removing the dirt each time, a better plan is to fix the corner as shown in the illustration. A triangular piece of brass or copper, 2 in. on each side, is fastened into the corner with one nail through the center. These metal pieces are especially desirable in public buildings.—Contributed by Abner B. Shaw, N. Dartmouth, Mass.
