Some 



One concern makes iheir castings heavy enough but their gutter 

 is shaped wrong — it is a square box like affair without enough 

 capacity — water backs up under glass, freezes and way goes 

 your glass. 



Another manufacturer makes them with sufficient capacity, but 

 casts them thin and of brittle iron — and they break. 



Still another firm has tough enough iron and thick enough 

 castings but the roof bars are fastened with a screw running 

 directly up from the bottom into the bar, which draws the 

 moisture up and rots the bar. 



Lord and Burnham Co. make their gutters so that all these 

 objections are overcome, with several mighty strong points 

 added. So let us put you wise on gutters. Write us.

TAKE THE RIGIDITY QUESTION 



You might think on first glance that a house so light, so airy and simple in its construction could 

 not be rigid and enduring. It is decidedly both ! You see with the encasing of the roof bars (or core 

 bar as we call it) in the galvanized steel U-Bar, every bar is practically a rigid rafter, although the com- 

 bining of both gives a member no larger than the roof bar used in the usual flat rafter frame construction. 

 The core bars are chemically preserved against decay, and protected against condensation by the steel U- 

 Bar. The steel U-B is galvanized against rust. It is the ideal construction for private estates, parks, 

 public institutions and florists' show rooms. Send for catalog.
