The GARLAND 

 IRON GUTTER 



What Mr. WILLIAM SCOTT thinks of it after a trial: 



I 



BUFFALO, February 2, 1903. 

 MR. GEO. M. GARLAND, Des Plaines, 111. 



Dear Sir: — The 750 feet of your cast iron gutter 

 has now been in use since last August, so it has had the 

 heat of summer and 1 4 below zero and incidentally a foot 

 of snow falling in 24 hours.- - ■ • 



I am glad to say that the gutters are most satisfac- 

 tory in everyway. After I had ordered them of you last 

 Spring, I was told some alarming things about them, but 

 also heard from most reliable firms of the good points 

 that your gutter possesses. I was told they would drip 

 from condensation of warm air on the cold metal. I 

 have a steam pipe within 18 inches of bottom of gutter 



SEITD FOB CATAI.OGUE CONTAIITIirG 



and there is absolutely not a drop to be seen. I was told 

 that in the expansion and contraction-of length of gutter 

 (mine is 150 feet) there would be a slight parting at the 

 joint. It would take a powerful microscope to discover 

 an opening the fraction of a hair — there is none. 



By observation I have proved that a heavy fall of 

 snow will disappear from roofs and gutters at least 48 

 hours sooner than a woode.i gutter, in fact, with the 

 steam pipe as I have it, it vanishes as it falls. There 

 may be other excellent metal gutters, I have not tried 

 them, but I am more than satisfied with yours. 

 Yours truly, 



WILLIAM SCOTT.
