The GARLAND I 

 IRON GUTTER | 



What Mr. WILLIAM SCOTT thinks of it after a triai: I 



g BUFFALO, February 2, 1903. 



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

 g Dear Sir; — The 750 feet of your cast iron gutter 



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



I heat of summer and 14 below zero and incidentally a foot 



g of snow falling in 24 hours. 



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



S tory in every way. After I had ordered them of you last 



m spring, I was told some alarming things about them, but 



g also heard from most reliable firms of the good points 



B that your gutter possesses. I was told they would drip 



g from condensation of warm air on the cold metal. I 



S have a steam pipe within 18 inches of bottom of gutter 



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



that in the expansion and contraction of length of gutter J 



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



joint. It would take a powerful microscope to discover g 



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



By observation I have proved that a heavy fall of H 



snow will disappear from roofs and gutters at least 48 g 



hours sooner than a wooden gutter, in fact, with the m 



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. B 



Yours truly, 3
