GARLAND'S IRON GIHER 



and 



Drip Gonductor. 



PARTIES CONTEMPLATING USING 



IRON GITTERS 



Will do well to note the following extract of patent No. 616,781, issued to 

 Geo. M. Garland; and are hereby cautioned against making 

 use of the same without my consent : 



"At the end of each member of the gutter, a downwardly-extending flange is 

 formed, adapted to en^ga^c with the inner or lower ends of the roof-beams, but the 

 flanges are of sufficient width to extend below the roof-beams, and at their lower ends 

 upwardly and outwardly extending members are produced, forming auxiliary gutters, 

 which serve as drip-conductors and act to carry off the condensations of steam from the 

 glass of the roof. The nails, screws, or other fastening devices are passed through the 

 drop-flanges and into the lower ends of the roof-beams, so that these fastening devices 

 for connecting the valley-gutter to the roof structure are below the weather-faces of the 

 valley-gutter and consequently the weather-faces of the valley-gutter need not be 

 perforated, insuring against leakage."
