THE STANDARD 



Duplex IVIetal Gutters, 



Like our liattleships and otliLT valuable inventinns, ihe ^-j.^--^^^^ ;\ ' 



so pretended all-wise criticized them long before they ' ""^ ' ^ x •- ■. 



could prove to the world their efficiency. But such judges 

 have long been relegated to the deep and fathomless sea 

 of ignorance and are still the laughing stock of the bet- 

 ter and more intelligent judges. 



Just so the Duplex Gutter will get its unjust awards 

 long before it can establish its superior qualities over 

 any other in the same line. J make a gutter for my cus- 

 tomer, and when he asks for a steel, wrought iron, cast 

 iron, copper or /.inc, he gets just what he asks for. and at 

 reasonable prices for any weight he desires. I will guar- 

 antee a more lasting and perfect construction than can 

 be made by using any other kind of a gutter, with no 

 drip at all. I claim nothing that reflects upon my con- 

 struction in order to injure the merits of any other 

 party's gutter. 



Notice the following questions: How long does a cast iron gutter last when erected upon 2-inch gas pipe made of 

 thin steel and subject to the moisture of the cement in the earth (pipe is now most all made of steel), and lasts only 

 four years as claimed by some advertisers. How long will a house last that uses steel wire to hold it together, when its 

 life is claimed only four years? All well informed people will laugh at such contradictory statements. We all know 

 that bridges are not made of cast iron. Why? Because they would fall of their own weight unless a support were 

 given them every four or five feet, therefore steel and iron are used and they last more than four years. Neglected 

 and unpainted, how long do you suppose a piece of '4'-inch steel or iron will last suspended from the earth in a green- 

 house? Have you found any steel wire stakes that were corroded only where they came in contact with the earth, in 

 four years? I have some in use over twelve years and they are as goocl above the earth as when bought. Now if you 

 used what we also make gutters of, cast iron, copper and if desired zinc (very little higher in price than cast iron) what 

 would their life be? My gutter must be a painful invention. 



Send for my catalogue giving plain facts for intelligent persons to study. Yours truly,
