Snow on the Roof 



is expensive just now as it shortens the Christmas Crop. 

 With flowers at the highest prices of the year, every 

 square foot of light means dollars. ^-^^t^^^J-J- 



IF YOU HAVE 



WOODEN 



GUTTER 



HOUSES 



YOU CAN'T 



AVOID IT 



THIS YEAR, 



BUT YOU CAN 



AVOID IT IN 



YOUR 



NEXT NEW 



HOUSES BY 



USING THE 



Garland Iron Gutter 



These two pic- 

 tures tell the story. 

 One shows a wood- 

 en gutter house and 

 the other an iron 

 gutter house at the 

 same establishment 

 and photographed 

 at the same time. 



This view shows w hat was left of the snow in the valley between the Garland Iron Gutter houses at the 

 same time, the t\vo photographs being taken within a few minutes of each other. 



What makes this di£ference? It is simply because iron is a better conductor of heat than wood. The iron 

 gutters absorb the heat from the inside of the house and this starts the melting of the snow at the gutter instead of 

 at the ridge, and starts it at once. Wood doesn't absorb enough to have any appreciable effect.
