. The BT catalogue of horse stable fittings / Beatty Bros. [of] Fergus, Ontario .... Advertising; Printed ephemera; Horses; Stables. Stall Posts No part of a horse stable looks worse after the stable has been used for a few years than the posts. They are quickly disfigured by the kicking of the horses. The strength of the partition depends on the post, and it is important that they be substantial. Where cement floors are used it is difficult to make a substantial job with a wood partition and wood post. The iron posts overcome these difficulties. No amount of battering will disfigure them, and BT Stall Posts are equipped at the bottom with two wide flanges, which, imbedded in the cement floor, make a perfectly rigid job. Nothing will add more to the ap- pearance of a horse stall or mean more for its durability than the iron stall post. Further, they save a great deal of time in framing as the iron posts are grooved up 5 ft. to receive 2-in. dressed plank. This makes the securing of the partition an easy matter.

The standard height of the post is six- feet. The post extends one foot above the end of the stall partition groove. We will supply shorter or longer posts if desired. All posts are made 4-in. in diam- eter. Fig. 299 shows one of our standard stall posts complete as it is set in a cement floor. The lower flange goes one foot be- low the level of the floor, so that it is firmly im- bedded in the concrete. It is often necessary to run the post to the ceiling, so that it will form a support to the timbers above. Fig. 300 illustrates the post we supply for this purpose, and we supply caps to fit any size of timber. These posts are made any length that may be desired.
