New Scaffold Bracket

With this new type of equipment the need for boards and nails to hold inner plank running parallel with wall, abutting pilaster or column is eliminated. Mr. Pignon also points out that the 'plank support bracket' is a real time saver to contractors.

Further information on the unit and its uses may be obtained by contacting Mr. Pignon. His address is 12817 E. 47th St., Independence Missouri.
